Imagine this happening to your wife, girlfriend or daughter.

Alas!, didn't the percussive wordsmith go by the name "ole velvet handcuffs" among his band mates based on some of his recreational preferences? At least he called someone and the girl didn't overdose to death.

Henley pleaded no contest in 1981 to a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He was sentenced to probation and a $2,500 fine, and he requested a drug education program to get some possession charges dismissed.

I doubt that would be the outcome today. "Poor decision" is one way of putting it.

... and I can't believe that length of male hair - whether black or white - can still be an issue anywhere. Some culture wars never stop.

The Outpost Cafe / I somehow missed this when it happened ...

... but man does the mind boggle:

Creepy. It's been a popular horror film trope ever since Misery, but imagining it in real life ... Of course, killing the mother was a mix of self justice and overreaching self defense, but I do wonder whether 10 years for her and life for her then boy friend (abetted by her) were the only judicial possibilities to deal with this.

The irony is that the eight years of prison time for her were probably the first time in her life when she was not abused and actually treated like a human being.

I didn't know this (I had just noticed his general frailty attributing it to his age), he's only gone public with it now. We always commemorate people here once they have not survived illness, he now did for a change after a five year battle:

The Outpost Cafe / Bat Sex Finally Revealed ...

This belongs here, woke bats doing it non-penetratively:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/nov/20/caught-not-quite-in-the-act-church-cameras-reveal-bat-sex-ritual

Maybe they were teenage bats lacking hands-on experience?

The male’s erect penis is enormous and ends with a heart-shaped head
that is seven times wider than the female’s vagina.

The Outpost Cafe / WTF?

Meet Max Hightower:



If I would have gone to school with Max in the early to mid seventies, I would have probably said about him: "Between a boy and a girl, Max is somewhere in the middle." and that would have been that. Whether in a school play he would have played a boy or a girl, I wouldn't have cared either way, not that I was great fan of school plays. There have always been people like Max.

My school days are long past, yet I have to read something like this and my mind just boggles:

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/education/2023/11/08/why-was-a-transgender-texas-teen-removed-from-his-lead-role-in-a-school-musical/?outputType=amp

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/nov/10/trans-teen-oklahoma-role-max-hightower

Mind you, I'm not above making ribald jokes ---> doughnut bumper about the LGBTQ movement and sometimes it gets  - like any activist movement can - plain on my nerves. But this type of a desperate rollback denying what has always existed (and especially in theater and entertainment arts which have always attracted people who weren't all that obsessed with choosing a side) leaves me gaping. It's theater culture-historically inane too: Hell, in Shakespearean times, women were largely not even allowed to act and most women roles in his plays were initially played by men/boys. (That this turned a majority of British men into gays and had the population of the British Isles die out subsequently has not found its way into anthropological records so far.)

Max of course wasn't cast to play a woman, he was to play a male role in the school's performance of the musical 'Oklahoma!' Why that needs to be taken away from him because he is apparently "not male enough" to some people, is beyond me. How bigoted - and scared shitless about your own positioning on the gender scale - can you be?
