So it turns out the great Utilitarian philosopher was an early believer in letting same-sex-attracted people do the dirty in whatever way they wished, without hindrance or sanction. Although he did not dare publish those writings in his lifetime, and they were subsequently, predictably, long suppressed by his editors.

Isn't Jeremy Bentham the name that the guy used as an alias in LOST?

I can only speak to the misappropriation of a certain economist's name.

Upon what characteristic of AS (the original, or actually the son of the original) do you mainly ascribe? I find you have not bulging eyes, a peculiar gait or much of a speech impediment (other than living among Yankees overlong). My dear Sir, do you even like Scotch?

Well (to further my hijack of my own thread ), I picked my screen name, back when first registering on HooBoy's forum in 2003, based on the thought that I wish the authorities would leave the sex work industry to the invisible hand of the marketplace.

Scotch likes me far too well, and I return the favor.

There are many invisible hands, not the least of which are the 3M products to include Scotch Tape and others.

I, for one, do not appreciate Scotch, although I readily admit to appreciating Scots Men. I find Scotch reminds me too much of diesel fuel which is good for mileage but not necessarily good for ambience.

OTOH, I do really appreciate our poster herein, AS, and wish us all well to the future.

Best regards,

You two are uber cute!

You two are uber cute!

Your choice of adverb did not go unremarked.

Achtung! Uber is what we do. Even though I misspelled ambiance, I intend to pursue it "uberly". One of us may indeed be "cute" but I am not. Be careful, MsGuy, or you may find yourself being interrogated by HSA. That is Housekeeping Sluts of America, no?

Best regards,
