demonic females

Demonic females say they want equality with males when they really want power over us; they also say things like "a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle", and especially, "Feminism is theory; lesbianism is practice." Attrib. to Ti-Grace Atkinson. Demonic females would love to rid the world of us.

That biotch was saying in the maintenance office that "beer makes me randy", when she knew damn well no man could talk like that around women and keep his job; she is one of those demonic females.

herpetarianism is the keeping of reptiles and/or amphibians as pets. The word derives from "herpetology", the scientific study of reptiles and amphibians. This in turn comes from the Greek root"herpes", meaning creeping things.

keanotherapy

Physical and mental exercises drawn from the disciplines of Indian meditation (Dhyana) and Chinese gong fu. Keanotherapy focuses the practitioner's mind on the eternal presence of the sea and the sound of the surf, thus to release nervous tension and calm the mind.

Keanotherapy founder and current prime teacher John Billings has almost 50 years of experience in both yogasana and gongfu. Yet his favorite activity will always be sitting quietly by the edge of the sea, where his life began.

keanotherapy is much more effective than tranquilizers.
