"No sex please, we're dead."*

I seem to be slipping on the reading of the fig leaves that hide the public persona of limeys Sullivan & Derbyshire, thinking that the latter's link to a wedding(apparently legal under some Code Necromicon) of a woman to her deceased betrothed in Nice, France, would likely earn him a "Derbyshire Award" from the latter. But noooooooooooo-----A.S. soon provided the same link on his "Daily Dish."
Then there's Crank Yankers' Brit-accented "Niles Standish" who tried to make wedding arrangements over the phone for some unholy union with his aunt. Yep, a society willing to even *consider* same sex marriages will also contemplate legalization of incest and pretty soon it's "see you Auntie" in the bridal chamber. One could note, however, some residual decency in Niles when after his Auntie expires, he is visibly Family Crestfallen-or perhaps simply cognizant that he resides in the U.S. rather than in France.


*curse that Google-someone else came up with that in 1999.
