...Postulate 4: According to Encylopedia Britannica, "In courtship displays, the cock elevates his tail, which lies under the train, thus elevating the train and bringing it forward. At the climax of this display the tail feathers are vibrated, giving the feathers of the train a shimmering appearance and making a rustling sound...

...great to want to develop profound affective bonds, monogamous relationships, and everything else that Cliff Davidson and Alex Boni-Saenz claim we are trivializing. It's also great to just want to "Enjoy cock," "Have a golden shower today," "Cuff a friend" or yes (horror of horrors) even "Taste Menses."

Still, even with men, there is the conviction that "we were meant for each other." For women it's the same old songs. "Two for tea, and you for me, alone." If we did not believe that, people would be like any other animals, spreading our feathers like the cock of the rock and waiting for the nearest, who becomes the dearest. Would any bird really do? If Romeo had turned his head at the moment Juliet passed by, would another girl have turned his head just as easily? It is the east, and Hildegarde...

...local reaction was swift and negative. One friend of the victims told the Times "that if he could get close enough to the pope, `I'd cock him straight and sure in the mouth."' One of Mease's own defense lawyers admitted: "Quite frankly, this case was probably one of the weaker clemency cases...There were no real claims of mental illness, no question of guilt. It was a triple murder. He had one argument dealing with post-traumatic stress from Vietnam, but really he had a snowball's chance in hell...
