I am a Canadian academic. I have been wandering, and have settled in Hong Kong. I find that Open Salon draws me in, using time and energy that I need for my regular work. I stay away from months at a time, but I come back.

My bitter youth: Two dialogues

Rate: 1 Flag
Me: Let’s get to know each other.
They: Men are from Mars.
Me: Meaning what?
They: You just mean you only want to get laid.
Me: Not only. I want to know you.
They: Men are from Mars.
Me: I’m not from Mars. I’m just a person like you.
They: Men are from Mars.

Then there was the feminist twist.

They: Men are from Mars.
Me: No, we’re not. We’re just people like you.
They (bitter laugh): Men are from Mars. Don’t look at the pictures in Playboy.
Me: Why not?
They: They make you be from Mars.
Me: But I’m not from Mars. 
They (bitter laugh): Men are from Mars.

I've always been partial to Pluto, but it's not even a planet any more, just a planetoid. Does that make me a humanoid?
