- Thank you. I find it interesting that when the Bears are
- discussing what they find attractive in this forum, we get the
- cries of "Oh no, all that Bear crap again!" But when it's an
- ugly little fuck like "Marky Mark" being drooled over, HEAVEN
- FORFEND that anyone should disagree in a similarly sharp fashion.
-
- Now, I imagine someone's about to pounce on me for calling
- "Marky Mark" an "ugly little fuck." Well, even those who do
- drool over him have admitted his face isn't much to look at, and
- to *ME*, the face (most preferably with a beard or other
- significant facial hair, if it's a male) is the first thing I
- notice, and probably the most important factor in physical
- attraction for me. I'm not surprised he has such a ridiculous
- moniker; to paraphrase a favorite Crotoni greeting, he had to
- make up his own name 'cause he was too ugly for his parents to
- claim. [c.f. ISAAC'S UNIVERSE Vol. 3, _Fighting Words_ by
