<p>Little Wesley would have agreed heartily, if he hadn&#8217;t been so engrossed in the wale pattern of his mother&#8217;s corduroy slacks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s fall, and that means sweater weather! How many of you out there have been thinking, &#8216;&#8221;I&#8217;d like to wear a sweater, but I don&#8217;t want to be alone in this?&#8221;</p>
<p>The good news is, you don&#8217;t have to be. If you&#8217;re a WASP and a god-fearing Republican looking for family values, a great way to find them is to dress identically to your mate &#8211; for solidarity in GOD, GUNS, and GAUGES. That way, when the Marxist Socialist state you fear finally comes to America, you&#8217;ve already been prepared in your bunker for the required uniforms from the Ministry of Cuddleknits.</p>

<p>Meet Norma. She wants a baby. NOW. She&#8217;s feeling her biological clock ticking&#8230;ticking&#8230;ticking, until she can almost feel her innards drying up. Norma would make a great mom, if she can find the right sucker to &#8220;accidentally&#8221; knock her up after <em>Grey&#8217;s</em> some drunken evening during a fit of end-of-episode passion. She knows how to cook and clean, but prefers to not do a whole messload of housework if she can help it, because she has to make sure her babymaker is in tip-top form. She promises to whimper longingly at any stroller she passes on the street, and give you ga-ga eyes if you&#8217;ve got a working member, and you&#8217;re supposed to get the hint.</p>
<p>Any takers?</p>

Yolanda and Reggie were young, happy, in love, and setting off bad superstitious vibes left and right.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t ever open an umbrella indoors,&#8221; warned Grandmama once, &#8220;It&#8217;s BAD LUCK!&#8221;
They scoffed at the old wives&#8217; tale, until Grandmama had the last laugh. Both were electrocuted when Reggie accidentally hit a klieg light and they got zapped.
