		<description>Ah, ambiguous gender.  A genderless deity.  Now that&#039;s original and unique.  Like the wonderous monster itself.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;why the exclusively male language in describing the Flying Spaghetti Monster?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, the FSM does have (meat) balls...

Although they could be considered generic gonads (either testes or ovaries)...</description>

		<description>And another thing . . . why the exclusively male language in describing the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Centuries of male-normative language have blinded us to the feminine aspect of the cosmic pasta glop, alienating us from an important aspect of our own starch-based spirituality.

I prefer to worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster as a feminine figure, using this prayer:

Flying Spaghetti Monster,
Life-giving Motherload of spaghetti,
Nurture us with your noodly embrace.
Sustain us as a mother sustains her child
At dinnertime with a plate of pasta.
You who formed life in your womb
As a cook who forms spicy meatballs in her hands,
Bless us and watch over us.
AAAAAAAARRRRRR MATEE!</description>

		<description>Cool.  Because whatever else I am (and that depends on who you ask; I have noted people do not seem to be lukewarm toward me, they either love me or hate me), I am definitely a round peg that does not fit in a square hole.

But you know, a pirate costume might be fun...  Maybe next Halloween.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Do you have to be a pirate to follow him?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
FSM ain&#039;t that picky. Just back up some of your music collection. That&#039;s enough for the RIAA, and enough for the FSM.</description>

		<description>Well, Darwin&#039;s Dagger, no, I guess not come to think of it.

And damn it for pointing that out Mikel.  No wonder she&#039;s holding her sword at the ready.  She&#039;s in big trouble!  As nice as it is being in high demand, a gal could get mighty uncomfortable being that much in demand!</description>

		<description>Desktopped it, but I had to shrink it to the exact size needed as to not have a distorted image. Stupid Windows.</description>
