2 of my favorite beings leave NY; Jo (L) and Ruby, 7/12/07

Giantess Clip: From YouTube

There's almost everything wrong with this image: the anemic lighting, the impoverished set design, the clumsy special effects, the boy's poor posture which will lead to many "sick days" as an adult, the castration anxiety in the form of a shrieking giant woman with impossibly light irises, and yet somehow, it all comes together to create...uh...desire...uh...and then again...but sometimes it can be hard to look away from something this incredibly cheap...I just can't stop looking at it.

BELIEVE?
A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE CAN GO A LONG WAY
A LOT OF PROFESSIONALS ARE CRACKPOTS
A SINGLE EVENT CAN HAVE INFINITELY MANY INTERPRETATIONS
ABSOLUTE SUBMISSION CAN BE A FORM OF FREEDOM
ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SURPRISE
ACTION CAUSES MORE TROUBLE THAN THOUGHT
ALIENATION PRODUCES ECCENTRICS OR REVOLUTIONARIES
ALL THINGS ARE DELICATELY INTERCONNECTED
AT TIMES INACTIVITY IS PREFERABLE TO MINDLESS FUNCTIONING
BOREDOM MAKES YOU DO CRAZY THINGS
CONFUSING YOURSELF IS A WAY TO STAY HONEST
DEVIANTS ARE SACRIFICED TO INCREASE GROUP SOLIDARITY
DREAMING WHILE AWAKE IS A FRIGHTENING CONTRADICTION
EATING TOO MUCH IS CRIMINAL
EVEN YOUR FAMILY CAN BETRAY YOU
EVERYONE'S WORK IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT
EXPIRING FOR LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT STUPID
FAKE OR REAL INDIFFERENCE IS A POWERFUL PERSONAL WEAPON
FATHERS OFTEN USE TOO MUCH FORCE
GRASS ROOTS AGITATION IS THE ONLY HOPE
HIDING YOUR MOTIVES IS DESPICABLE
HUMANISM IS OBSOLETE
HUMOR IS A RELEASE
IF YOU AREN'T POLITICAL YOUR PERSONAL LIFE SHOULD BE EXEMPLARY
IT IS MAN'S FATE TO OUTSMART HIMSELF
IT'S IMPORTANT TO STAY CLEAN ON ALL LEVELS
KILLING IS UNAVOIDABLE BUT IS NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF
LACK OF CHARISMA CAN BE FATAL
LOVING ANIMALS IS A SUBSTITUTE ACTIVITY
MEN ARE NOT MONOGAMOUS BY NATURE
MOTHERS SHOULDN'T MAKE TOO MANY SACRIFICES
MUCH WAS DECIDED BEFORE YOU WERE BORN
MURDER HAS ITS SEXUAL SIDE
OFTEN YOU SHOULD ACT LIKE YOU ARE SEXLESS
PEOPLE WHO DON'T WORK WITH THEIR HANDS ARE PARASITES
RAISE BOYS AND GIRLS THE SAME WAY
REVOLUTION BEGINS WITH CHANGES IN THE INDIVIDUAL
ROMANTIC LOVE WAS INVENTED TO MANIPULATE WOMEN
SLIPPING INTO MADNESS IS GOOD FOR THE SAKE OF COMPARISON
SLOPPY THINKING GETS WORSE OVER TIME
TAKING A STRONG STAND PUBLICIZES THE OPPOSITE POSITION
THE IDEA OF REVOLUTION IS ADOLESCENT FANTASY
THE IDEA OF TRANSCENDENCE IS USED TO OBSCURE OPPRESSION
THE MOST PROFOUND THINGS ARE INEXPRESSIBLE
TIMIDITY IS LAUGHABLE
TORTURE IS BARBARIC
WHEN SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS PEOPLE WAKE UP
WISHING THINGS AWAY IS NOT EFFECTIVE
YOU ARE A VICTIM OF THE RULES YOU LIVE BY
YOUR OLDEST FEARS ARE THE WORST ONES
