- I did. I can't believe in universal, culture-invariant beauty or
- ugliness, and therefore it seems entirely rational to assume the
- trichotomy above - and, no, for the wordfetishists, trichotomy doesn't
- mean "hair-splitting" :)

- Child? Insofar as I am my parents' progeny, I am a child. Sometimes
- I may behave in a childlike way. But, for your information, I'm past
- the years of puberty, and "child" hardly feels like an appropriate
- epithet - unless you happen to be old enough to be my Daddy :)
- Thank you for the Yum, however.

- Oh, get kay-and-justin.gif (or whatever) from the archives on spdcc.com.
- Admittedly you won't see much of me; I'm mostly obscured by my lover,
- my sunhat, my sunglasses, and my then beard. So you'll have to take
- most of that information on trust.

- >>Kay Dekker
- >Deck 'er? Why, we haven't even been formally introduced.
-
- How remiss of me. Now: what would Miss Manners say? Is the elder
- to be introduced first to the younger, or vice versa? And which of
- us is which? Putting my social graces on the line...
-
- Mr Hastings, I'd like you to meet Mr Dekker. Mr Dekker, this is
- Mr Hastings. I'm sure you two will love each others' company. Now,
- you must excuse me; there's a twink throwing up in the corner...
-
- Feel better?
