Good Reason

It's okay to be wrong. It's not okay to stay wrong.

Cut that out!

Was it National Abstinence Day, and no one told me?

Of course, for me, every day is Abstinence Day, so nothing new there. But I was pleased to find the page from the rather antsy folks at the Abstinence Clearinghouse. There you’ll find all the materials you need to hook up with people… and not have sex with any of them.

Here’s the news from today’s front page:

01.18.06 First Lady Laura Bush Endorses Abstinence

Well, she would, wouldn’t she?

And be sure to check out “Faces of Abstinence.” No, it’s not what you’re thinking. It’s people’s profiles. My favourite:

Darren L. Washington, Gary, IN
Secondary Virgin for 7 years

See, the Secondary Virgin is the one they bring out in case the Primary Virgin is injured.

If you can get your entry up there, I will somehow get you laid.

I’m working on mine.

  2. Thanks for the link, Siti.

    I’ve never known how much Chomsky to accept because I’m not convinced that his theories about language are in fact testable, or indeed even scientific. So it’s nice to see UG under more scrutiny after all these years.

    BTW, I wish they hadn’t ended the article with the word ‘feces’. That was anti-climactic.

    I mean, it’s okay if I do it.
