PBC is no doubt a rite of passage. I almost warned you about the possiblity of this PBC coming then I thought it just might pass unnoticed...
He who watches everything Dr. B would never let an obvious PBC go by.Atticus, dear gentlman of the darker arts I bow and thank you for your assistance.
The conflict on social babble turned out to have a silver lining. I am no longer banned from posting to Larry Hoover. Plus I feel more couragous about speaking out.
I loved this poem...
the romance of it.
I know there was real fear and I can understand why but the incredible sensuous sexual animal tension is maintained through out the poem. To keep that type of tension going is an art.
There is a moral strength to your character that is no longer used in our lives on this level.
I could see this happening in Ireland, England Wales etc as few as 100 years ago.
The insult was very real. The reaction was heroic. Tripper was a weak person.So I am curious, how did that change him? You must have ended up being the alpha male, right?
He must have lost his place in the pack?I too, defended someone as a child. I was quite a hero of the innocent in my family and neighborhood. I was fearless on the outside and filled with fear on the inside. I ran on empty.
Jai Narayan damsel in distress is honored to have Atticus come to her rescue but she will not make a habit of it.
