YOUR Johnson

HoLa!
Finally saw Chuck out at the farm. His birthday just was. Big Five Seven. I hugged him very gently because of his busted ribs and he said not to worry about his ribs, his ribs didn't bother him, it was the 24 INCHES of TUBE threaded up his JOHNSON, and how would I like to have twenty four inches of tube up MY JOHNSON and he held his hands about two feet apart & I said no thanks

Hey, we won't be at the farm this coming Saturday, as we're going to little RacheY's wedding near Adamstown. Haven't seen that low-profile Phil-kind-of-a-guy in a DAWG's age and that should be fun. So if you're considering a visit to the farm some Saturday, make it some OTHER Saturday, okay? I got a clutch for my hi-hat from Musician's Friend just in case.

The World Without Us is intriguing. Reading any fiction these days? Ever tried William Faulkner? Over the years he's become my favorite fiction writer. He's difficult, but hugely rewarding, with his keeeeeeen insight into human nature and trippy sentence structure. I'd start with 'The Hamlet'. He takes a while, he's like sipping bourbon. When I hanker for breezy reading that's like drinking beer I just pull out Lonesome Dove and open it to anywhere . . . that's the book I'll be cremated with. Speaking of books. . .


Here are two goofy yet disturbing little volumes from 1914 sure to offend almost everybody:

The Eugenic Marriage, Volume IV - Personal Guide To The New Science Of Better Living And Better Babies

Eugenics is a social philosophy which advocates the improvement of human hereditary traits through various forms of intervention. The goals of various groups advocating eugenics have been to create healthier, more intelligent people, to save society's resources, and lessen human suffering.

Historically, eugenics has been used as a justification for coercive state-sponsored discrimination and human rights violations, such as forced sterilization of persons who are claimed to have genetic defects, the killing of the institutionalized population and, in some cases, outright genocide of races perceived as inferior or undesirable.
Volume IV is in pretty decent shape for being almost 100 years old. It features some interesting pics, including this row of ugly babies captioned "More Babies Like These!"




Volume III features such sage advice as this (ladies, take note):

"If a woman discovers . . . that her husband has very decided views upon certain matters . . . it would be far better for her to acquiesce in these views, rather than to obstinately adhere to her opinions . . . "


"Our advice,-- irrespective of all the arguments which may be made, and which we need not even hint at, here, but which are at the tongue's end of every so-called advanced woman,-- is for the young wife to gratefully concede a great deal to her husband."

Take THAT, Gloria Steinem

Happy Labor Day!
