You Are 50% Boyish and 50% Girlish |
|
You are pretty evenly split down the middle – a total eunuch. Okay, kidding about the eunuch part. But you do get along with both sexes. You reject traditional gender roles. However, you don’t actively fight them. You’re just you. You don’t try to be what people expect you to be. |

I am an androgyn?
The Wisdom of Old Navy
There was a mannequin in Old Navy. It was wearing jammie pants that said “Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho.” I said to Arthur, “Do you suppose this is meant as a comment on her character?”
On top, she was wearing a t-shirt that showed a penguin in earmuffs with an igloo in the background, and the caption read “Brrrrr.” I said to Arthur, “Doesn’t that contradict the pants?”
Then I thought, Maybe it’s an object lesson. When my top is cold, brrrr, I’m chilly. When my pants are warm, I’m a Ho Ho Ho.
(Keep in mind that the cash register computers went down at Old Navy, so we were standing on line, next to this mannequin, for quite a long time.)
How Weird

Happy New Year
I have a couple of long-winded and clever posts planned. In my head. Where they are not coming out until after I’ve had some more sleep. So hang in there.

Io Saturnalia!
Promoted from the comments. Thanks Barbs.
What’s this empire coming to? Now they want us to stop greeting people with “Io Saturnalia!? “We have all these different cultures in Rome,? they tell us. “We shouldn’t offend anyone,? they tell us, “We’ve got to be inclusive.?
We’ve got the barbarians from the north with their tree decorations and their fire rituals. And the weirdos from Gaul, cutting mistletoe with a golden sickle. And the Mithraists, the Zoroastrians, the Isis cults, and, of course, those characters who hang out in the catacombs. “Hail, Winter!? we’re supposed to say. I ask you, what next: we lose the feast? We stop the Solstice parties? No more honoring Ops, goddess of abundance?
