THE WEEKLY RIOT
February 12, 1999
Sigh...
More romantic quotes (if you're a woman),
aka mushy stuff (if you're a man)
in honor of Valentine's Day....
"Be a god and hold me
With a charm!
Be a man and fold me
With thine arm!"
— Robert Browning, from "A Woman's Last Word"
"The soul that can speak through the eyes can also kiss with a gaze."
— Gustavo Adolfo Becquer
"All thoughts, all passions, all delights
Whatever stirs this mortal frame
All are but ministers of Love
And feed his sacred flame."
— Samuel Taylor Coleridge
"Anyone can look at others eyes, but Lovers can see into each
others' souls through the eyes."
— Larry Latta
"Doubt that the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love."
— William Shakespeare, from "Hamlet"
"Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score;
Then to that twenty, add a hundred more:
A thousand to that hundred: so kiss on,
To make that thousand up a million.
Treble that million, and when that is done,
Let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun."
— Unknown
I want to hold you in my arms, gently
Beyond sex and security, prestige and triumph,
to say once and for all, "I love you",
and mean it from the top of my head to-the-depths of my soul
This is the love that casts out fear that makes life worth living
That takes a man and woman on the earth and lifts them finally
above every power or pain that could wound them
I have seen so many sights, heard so many words but none as beautiful
As the sight and sound of a man and woman
Who say with their every act
Their eyes and all their being
"I LOVE YOU!"
— Unknown
"Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves."
— Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
"Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person
is essential to your own."
— Robert Heinlein
"Love is the language our hearts use to speak to one another.
For you, my dear, my heart sings."
— Amanda R. Byrd
"The most eloquent silence; that of two mouths meeting in a kiss"
— Unknown
"When you kiss me, without uttering a single word, you speak to my soul."
— Unknown
"Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be." — Robert Browning
"But if in your fear
you would seek
only love's peace
and love's pleasure,
Then it is better for you
that you cover your nakedness
and pass out of love's threshing-floor,
Into the seasonless world
where you shall laugh,
but not all of your laughter,
and weep,
but not all of your tears."
— Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

--== THE DAILY PROBE ==--

LONDON, UK (DPI) - Responding to accusations by religious right cartoon character Jerry Falwell that he is gay, children's cartoon character Tinky-Winky of the Teletubbies held a press conference on Thursday to denounce the homophobic Reverend. Greeted warmly by a throng of Fleet Street reporters, he read from the following prepared text: "EH - OHHH! B - I - I - G H - U - G ! UH-OH, Jerry! Jerry lonely? Spend too much time playing with 'Invisible Friend' in sky? Come over! Tinky-Winky invite! Play our guitar! Wear our skirt! We teach Jerry HULA! HULA DANCE! Afterward, Jerry maybe kiss Teletubbies' BUMS! B - I - I - G H - U - G ! K - I - S - S B - U - M - S! BYE-BYE!"--== THE DAILY PROBE ==--

Attempts to reach Reverend Falwell at his Righteous-Furor Bunker in rural North Carolina were unsuccessful, but it is known that he and several aides are poring over old Warner Brothers cartoons and have already found over 60 instances in which Bugs Bunny dresses up as a woman and hits Elmer Fudd, whom they believe represents Fundamentalist Christians, with a big purse. — Reported by Alphonse Ludwig Soprano IV
WASHINGTON, DC (DPI) — Frustrated by consistent polls showing that two-thirds of the public do not believe they have proven removable offenses by the President, Henry Hyde praised his "band of brothers," quoting Henry V's Crispen's Day speech, foretelling that "men abed in England tonight will think themselves accursed and hold their manhoods cheap while any rises to speak who fought with us on Crispen's Day". A BBC poll, however, showed that men abed in England during the trial were dreaming of Elizabeth Hurley holding their manhoods, and most thought it wouldn't come cheap. Meanwhile, Lindsey Graham (Barney Fife - SC) called for the Senate to issue subpoenas to all citizens, so that they could implicate President Clinton in a conspiracy with 66% of Americans to obstruct the GOP prosecution. President Clinton wasn't worried, and issued a statement promising "not to bang the bongos when I'm acquitted." White House Spokesman, Joe Youknowthenewguy, issued a partial correction, emphasizing that the President's statement applied to "bongos" not "bimbos." — Reported by Jonathan Colan

NEWS OF THE FUTURE
JEBEDIAH BUSH IV ACCEPTS 2044 GOP NOMINATION
BRANSON, MO (DPI) - Seeking to maintain the Bush Dynasty, God's Own Party nominated Jebediah Bush IV to run for Minister-in-Chief in the Fall congregation. During Bush's acceptance sermon, he recognized Party Brethren, Lindsey Graham and Asa Hutchison, who had led the failed impeachment drive against the then old-style "President" whose name we of course cannot mention, in accordance with the Excommunication Act of 2012. Brothers Graham and Hutchison rose to be toasted with the sacramental Blood of Reagan by the delegates. Meanwhile, held in the stocks, Sinner Peter King, one of the GOP members who had voted against the Evil One's impeachment, was commanded to hold his manhood cheap whilst Graham and Hutchison were toasted. Minister Bauer pronounced that the national ban on holding one's manhood did not apply to this occasion. — Reported by Jonathan Colan III

SHE IS YOU
[Thanks to Ilmar — Ilmar Saar's MASTERY DOMAIN ]
Let me tell you of the girl that I dream.
Let me tell you for what heart I scheme.
She is a woman and she is a girl.
For I am young and I am old.
When I am a man, she is a girl.
When I am a boy, my woman scolds.
She is mature... yet a child
For she is in need... yet fancy free.
And as a child loves laughter, so she loves me.
Her hands are warm and easy to hold.
They tremble slightly
If I should dare to be cold.
Her feet? Small
Forever walking to me... Not standing so tall.
Her eyes? Yes... they sparkle
Every second that I am near.
And when I'm not? Shed a tear.
Her lips? Innocently calling me,
Always warm, always moist, always mine...
Pure, promiscuous, sublime.
Her heart sounds the message
Beating slowly, sad until I'm there,
Then pounding I Love You, I Love You...
Losing its rhythm and without a care.
Her breath is sometimes warm
Yet again... sometimes not.
For sometimes her love is a storm
Yet again... sometimes not.
Her Voice? Gentle
Silently saying a single name,
Whispering, "Love Me" again and again.
She is everything
Or I am nothing
She loves me. (Let it be true)
Now she should know...
SHE IS YOU, YES... SHE IS YOU!

Upon further investigation, Top5 learned that Reverend Falwell has problems with a few other TV characters...
THE TOP 13 REASONS JERRY FALWELL THINKS YOUR FAVORITE TV CHARACTER IS GAY
13. Fonzie: has an "office" in the men's room and always tells guys to "sit on it."
12. If you're drunk enough, "Homer Simpson" sounds kinda like "homosexual."
11. Popeye: Vegetarian. Bodybuilder. Dresses like one of the Village People. "Girlfriend" has no visible breasts. You connect the dots, Chester.
10. Batman & Robin: They caress a bust, which reveals a pole that they wrap themselves around and slide down which strips them of their clothes and puts them in rubber suits and... Okay, maybe Falwell's got something here.
9. Alex Trebek: Lives with his mom and knows *way* too much about Broadway Musicals and potpourri.
8. "Shhhh, be vewy vewy wightous! I'm hunting a naked opewa-wuving wabbit!"
7. Will from "Will & Grace": Not because the character is openly gay, but because if he were straight, he'd go by "Bill" and smoke cigars.
6. That Peter Jennings character on "ABC World News Tonight" is thin, neat and obsessed with the sex life of a guy named Bill.
5. Fred Flintstone & Barney Rubble: Fur house dresses? C'mon!
4. Check the reruns closely: Woody lives up to his name whenever Norm walks into the bar.

DR. KNOWING'S UNIVERSE
Richard Wright writes:
"Dr. Knowing,
If the Russians succeed in installing a giant mirror in space, won't that just fry a big hole through the earth — like a magnifying glass on an anthill?"
Mr. Wright,
You might have uncovered a military application of this so-called science experiment. Last week (for those of you unaware... well... why delineate? For all of you), Russian astronauts aboard the space station Mir attempted to unfold a giant reflective surface and aim it at several cities from Northern Europe to Canada. Of course they failed, and left behind what can only be described as a giant Totes umbrella floating in space. What practical nature such a device may serve is completely beyond me, but allow me to postulate:
* Shadow removal for Barbara Walters photo and broadcast shoots (better accomplished by my ceramic orbital electromagnet ring, put forth here earlier, but hey, who's keeping track?)
* Convenient giant image in the sky for women putting on makeup while driving.
* Convenient giant rear-view mirror for men masturbating while driving.
* Global warming just doesn't melt polar ice caps fast enough, (insert obligatory "dammit!" here).
* Bring the old-time, down-home warmth of sweeping Gestapo lights to whole world.
* Typical Russian manufacturing solution: just pop the whole cornfield.
Oh, you silly Ruskies... let's get back to building that international space station, shall we? It seems both your science and economy could use some American know-how. Here's a hint: roll of duct tape & skip over the industrial revolution. And start marketing that incredible Mafia you guys have... it's highly undervalued.

WALKING THE DOG...
[Thanks to Craig]
The little girl asked her Mom, "Mom, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?"
Mom said, "No, because the dog is in heat."
"What's that mean?" asked the child.
"Go ask your Father. I think he's in the garage."
The little girl goes to the garage and says, "Dad, can I take Susie for a walk around the block. I asked Mom, but she said the dog was in heat and that I should ask you."
Dad said, "Bring Susie over here". He took a rag, soaked it with gasoline, and scrubbed the dog's rear end with it and said, "Ok, you can go now — but keep Susie on the leash and only go one time around the block."
The little girl left and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the leash. Dad said, "Where's Susie?"
The little girl said, "Susie ran out of gas about halfway down the block and there's another dog pushing her home."
MORE FRACTURED FAIRY TALES...
[Thanks to Craig]
A guy goes to see the doctor, because he's been a little too "well-endowed", shall we say. In fact, it's 25 inches long. He can't get any women to have sex with him. Anyway, the doctor says there's nothing he can do medically, but sends him to see a witch that he thinks might be able to help.
The witch takes a look at the problem and tells him to go to a particular pond, deep in the forest, and talk to a frog that lives there. "Ask the frog to marry you and each time the frog says no, you'll be 5 inches shorter."
Worth a try, he thinks, and off he dashes into the forest, as anyone in this sort of joke would. Finds the pond and sees the frog on the other side, sitting on a log.
"Will you marry me?" he calls to the frog.
Frog looks at him, disinterested at best, and calls back, "No." Guy looks down, sure enough, he's 5 inches shorter.
Hey, this is great, he thinks-let's try that again. "Will you marry me?" he asks the frog.
Frog rolls his eyes, and shouts back again, "No!" Twitch — the guy's down to 15 inches. Well, that's still a bit excessive, he thinks. Down another 5 would be perfect.
So he calls across again, "Will you marry me?"
Frog yells back, "Look - how many times do I have to tell you? No, No, NO!"
GENESIS REVISITED

God says to Adam, "I have some good news and some bad news. What do you want to hear first?"
Adam says, "Tell me the good news first."
God says, "I'm going to give you a penis and a brain. You'll derive from these great pleasure and great intellect."
Adam replies, "Wonderful! But what's the bad news?"
God says, "I'm only going to give you enough blood supply to work one at a time."
