OMG, finally someone with the courage to point out that long hair on a guy means gay. It's about time. The natural order of things is that men have short hair, and women have long hair. Duh!

Now, if we could just stop women from wearing pants...um, I mean in the fashion sense of course.

That reviewer goose
Might have a screwer loose.

But, Leonardo lies
Are as vast as the skies.

Mona Lisa shouldn't con ya;
She's Mrs. Gioconda!

My fifth line shows poor diction;
Poor and feckless fit certain fiction.

And THAT, my friends, is why Our Home Town is a great place to be FROM.

And, for the last time, it's FICTION. Not Fact. Though in this era of Faux News and phony "balance," I can see where people have a hard time separating fact from fiction.

I remember this letter writer - he's got a long and storied history of incoherent ramblings in Our Local Rag. Sort of like Crazy Sign Guy (Mamacita knows who I'm talking about), but with fewer planks of wood.

Soooooo....the longer my son lets his hair grown, the gayer he becomes?

I'll be sure to tell him

In the mid-Sixties, the big "DIE, HERETIC!!!!" movement among Christians was whether Jesus wore his hair long or short. I remember Christian Tracts that showed Jesus with beard and near-crewcut, backed up with Bible verses. And all these "Proofs From The Word Of God" that men's hair length longer than a crewcut was a Mortal Sin.

"Pastor Ron", a Baptist pastor/filksinger in Oklahoma, actually wrote a filksong about it -- "If Your Hair's Too Long, You Can't Be Saved". Imagine it being sung off-key in thick Southern Baptist accents, with an out-of-tune piano and a crying baby for accompaniment:

"Don't live your life in dread and fear
With a tangled mess over your ears
If your hair's too long
(If your hair's too long)
You Can't Be Saved
(You Can't Be Saved!)

Having graduated from BNL, the tone of the letter didn't surprise me. What DID surprise me is when clicking on links in my education blog-reading I happened upon somebody Joe and Betsy know...six degrees of separation, huh?

You mean there's another BNL grad here?

Lordy, I thought I'd escaped.

For crying out loud....
