Stella
Sat, 27 Nov 2004: Here's a personal favorite originally posted on the now defunct netslaves bulletin board on January 9th, 2002.

It's a commentary on the "Stella" awards for "frivolous" law suits, named for Stella Liebeck, who successfully sued McDonald's in 1994 after suffering burns on her legs, thighs and buttocks in a coffee spilling incident that occasioned much public scrutiny into McDonald's' practice of serving coffee at temperatures significantly higher than the industry standard.

Busted Ass Old Pickup Truck
Wed, 07 Jul 2004: Busted ass old pickup truck.
Your gears are stripped. Your wheels are stuck.
It looks like you forgot to duck.
You'll need more than a nip and tuck.
You're outta gas and outta luck.
But we love you and your coat of muck,
You busted ass old pickup truck.

Monique
Thu, 08 Jan 2004: I like to think that kurttrue.com is a Web site with a social conscience. Maybe not the same kind of social conscience you'd find at aclu.org or that "Save the Whales" web site, but, lets face it, I ain't exactly Julia Butterfly Hill.

And a cause that my friends know is really close to my heart is the whole issue of second class status that our culture has bestowed on women and girls named Monique. Think about it. There is a song for just about every woman's name, "Donna," "Carol," "Peggy Sue," "Tell Laura I Love Her," "Marie from Sunny Italy," "Sweet Georgia Brown," "Hard Hearted Hannah (The Vamp of Savanna, GA)," I could go on and on.

banned in houston!
Sat, 19 Jul 2003: here is a post that was considered too controversial for my high school alumni association bulletin board. it was deleted after the moderator received complaints.

i'm not sure what exactly got people's panties in a knot here. seems pretty tame to me, except, perhaps, my use of the term "cathouse pink." might not have been considered consistent with the board's family values orientation.
