Just wandering around John's blog following links, and the beer volcanos caught my eye! Now THERE'S a concept. If I'm a recovering alcoholic (and I am), and I'm going to be perfect in heaven (which I believe), and there are beer volcanos in heaven (which is an appealing thought), does that mean that in heaven I can go back to drinking and it will not be a very, very, very bad thing (as it would be if I were to do so here on earth)? PSYCH! What an interesting concept. But can I have gin-and-tonic volcanos instead?? Don't even ASK me how I got here at this late date.

Being called gay and calling others gay, even suggesting it, was the ultimate insult. Now it doesn't bother me any more than someone suggesting I had blonde hair as an insult. (Blonde hair being another human trait I happen not to have.) Not that you were insulting me, of course. But my preteen self almost certainly would have taken it that way.

So, when you hear the word "stripper," you think, "guy." Hey, man. No worries. I know you're an actor. It's not a problem. Different ... strokes. Morse: I see.

Hey, man. No worries. I know you're an actor. It's not a problem. Different … strokes.

I got to say, however, the Muslim image of heaven is way better. Rivers of milk and honey, clear wine that doesn't get you drunk, food of all kinds, and don't forget the lovely virgins. I think that's better than playing a harp for eternity. What a fun post! I got to say, however, the Muslim image of heaven is way better.

Thank you. Morse: Now, I'm thinking "Stripper Factories" sounds just a tad mysogenistic, so I'm uncomfortable with it. But I must say I am entirely NOT uncomfortable with the idea of beer volcanoes.

From horizon to horizon it is filled with Beer Volcanoes and Stripper Factories. "What a fun post! I got to say, however, the Muslim image of heaven is way better."
