he tried to figure what his comment had anything to do with their threeway conversation

he was encouraged that she  trio part  looked as confused as was banginround inside his skull but which he was able to restrain from showing on his face

                                                     she wasnt his critical audience as frequent as he

better get to it

               defend breasts as mammaries not grown to lurenot for mens pleasure as his ahole buddy believes

Knock yourself out I disagree

                               Who the hell coined  secondary sexual characteristics

So you agree they are.

Biologically speaking  Thas wha theyre referred to

                                                      They develop as boys an girls mature Its called puberty

I agree that some old white ma . .

. . There you go after men again . . assaulting them . .

. . Fuckinclowns need to be assaulted

                                        Theyve been assaulting girlswomen a minimum tenthousand years 

Whens enough for you

Ive had it withem

 

    Back to my point

                       Who coined it  If you refuse to believe it wasnt some old white man

I’ve no idea.  smiled

                            he could feel Wittgensteins Whereof thereof phrase foaming in his head

                                                                                                        Therefore, I can’t say.

I can

        Charles Darwin

He alluded to itcalled it a second agency Alongside natural selection

Then English biologist Ronald Fisher described secondary sexual characteristics in his 1930 book The Genetic Theory of Natural Selection

    Why would you know that?

Because

            Every time we get together for coffee bullshit you bring it up an Im sick an tired of ya goin onanon tha breasts developed solely to appeal an to appease men

An old white women coudnt have stepped into the fray to name to coin whaya pine for  Erroneously

Breasts formed to feed babies  Step furthur

                                              Asya know I come from a huge familymy mother one of thirteen siblings hence   minimum thirteen wives five children were the smallest family among the family  We congregated at my grandmothers house

 

 

You’re point?

    Pretty fuckin obvious

What’s obvious.

 

Your family

              Compared to mine

You had an aunt

Your Maw

              Ill assume your aunt an mother breastfed

What’s you’re point?

    At any given gathering when I was a young three or four of my aunts breastfed out in the livingroom  Natural as the day is long

Because

           Breasts hadnt been sexualised to the overwhelming extent as they are today

Tits didnt develop to appease men                                                                                     

Ill assume you havent indelible memories of your mother aunt breastfeeding

                                                                                 Only your wife

So I can understand  an pity you thayathink breasts were made for you

They werent

Address another issue tha piques you before ya get there circumvent you

                                                                                 Before I had sexual urges

For years I knew the function of breasts thathey were unlike the lure you believe

Well . . well . well . . . . some women have breast enlargementsdon’t tell me they’re not doing that to attract men.  Secondary SEXUAL characteristics.

I woudnt know

                 I havent augmented my cock to appeal to women maybe according to you a secondary sexual characteristicwhich in fact incorrect gonads  testicles   not truly ones cock

    Yaoughta them why

I wouldn’t do that.

Then shaddup

Youre defendinem

We’re not defending them.

                              they huddled closer together so not to be flanked forcing headlong attacks

Methinks thou dost protests too much

                                         Misquoting Shakespeare Hamlet  Steppinon Queen Gertrudes line

    We’re supposed to reply to that?

Youre vigorously opposing memy word

                                          So Ive said was keeping with Shakespeare  Wha say ye

Not all.

    I didnt say all

You implied all.

I said billionaires are immoral

                                Not all   Certainly not an implication

I was explicit

she looked over to her cohort her back to back partner who like he felt they had to assume defensive postures

    opposite them they knew him to be aggressive

                                                     they werent

they drew comfort in numbers

                                 evenif the numbers did not coincide identically with their aspirations

fiftyone fortynine was plenty good for them

while he was willing to die on every hill every molehill   every dungheap

                                                                                                 Sheeit  I thought it was a hill

Nonetheless I did gain elevation acquired  higher ground

looking away from him she spoke for them

                                              We don’t agree.

pushing an entomological pin for insects either a No. 2 or a No. 3  a pin is gentler than a hook hooks devastate flesh

    Why do you disagree

her bound male cohort rallied Does that really matter?

                                                         How often have I asked you, questioned you further and you’ve replied, DONE?

I reply done because when I ask something I also stake my claimmake my mind obvious

DONE is in retaliation refusing to repeat myselfwaste my time

You disagree that billionaries arent immoral

Immoral is givinem something

I didnt say amoral

To amass billions of dollarsmaybe atop seed money leftem  many have been bequeathed

                                                                                                Letem keep a billion  Tha on top take

Next year tax time

                    Take it again

Now

       If only we had a legitimate expert body to wiselyIll say it  redistribute those billions an billions of dollars

Trickle down

    Only piss an shit trickles down

My idea  one  Im sure of many many solutions

                                                           So

 

So what?

Why are billionaires not immoral

Everybodys on the spectrum

So while you sit across from me accuse me of being a solipsist

                                                                   Backatcha

You’re the absolutist. I’m not.

I really gotta drag out tha tired oldfuckin proof

                                                   Anya know I was shit with proofs in geometry

                     Minimal intervention  markets operating with little or no regulation

Sounds like you

                  Together with your wife

    Betcha feel good getting’ that off your chest.

he laughed

              For the umpteenth time

You absorb nothing

he saw a rugby match years ago

doesnt know the game wouldnt follow it

a chosen ignorance

                     wasnt a sports fan in any meaningful way

followed pro football highlights Sundays via YouTube couldnt tolerate commercials to watch entire games the sole exception Super Bowl  Stanley Cup play-offs

    but he knew a guy who did who play a few college games before injured

his old man told him No more.

unlike him

              he listened to his old man

he did however follow a local team attended their matches

                                                               I drank beers and enjoyed the female fans.

When was that

After graduating college. I summered in Idaho then returned to begin my teacher’s credentials.

    I'd say twentytwo three, till almost thirty.

 

Rugby played in the Fall

Yes. In the Fall.

                  Our local team was awfully good.

So  A fan

I playe . .

. . Until No

No matter. I played.

                       I understood the game, the strategy.

Given your tendencies Id guess you held forth on the sidelines insinuated yourself told old war stories

    However limited

peeved I played.

                  I know the game. You don’t.

Nor do I care to

 

Strikes me you were there for the women

    Not just the women.

Hang out with players

No.

 

I understandif my memory serves me correct The female fans

                                                                  They had a nickname

They did.

Wasnt really flattering

                          Not very origina . .

. . It stuck.

You wanna tell me you had nothing to do with it youre an inveterate nicknamer

   Or

 

 

Or what?

The nickname wasnt a widely known

                                             It waswha you calledem

They were called ruggerhuggers.

                                    I thought it was pretty clever.

And

 

    And what?

Address my accusation

                          And because I always saydon leave people hangin on what they think I thought

Kinda crude

Ruggerhugger leans in towards carpet   Rug  I understand rugger rugby

Rug  Carpet

Carpet huggers

Carpet munchers

                   An Gawd blessem if rugby players go down  Although the as dictionaries would cite  thas crude vulgar offensive slang descriptive of lesbians which is a pile of horseshit because a woman going down on a woman may just have been curiosity

Ive known a lot of curious women

Theyve admitted it

Their just deserts

Favour was returned 

 

   The nickname wasnt widely known

Though you thought clever

Thaswha you calledem

                           They werent wearin emblazoned tshirts sweatshirt

Proudly

Ruggerhuggers

They wer . .

. . Youre fibbin

                he laughed   and his laughter went on and on and veered a tad toward hysterical as rugbys face darkened

fibbin was awfully preposterous

                                   he couldnt say hes ever used it before

had read it

not said it

hilarious

    the glowering grewwent on and on and on

obviously fomented by fib by formidable fuckin glee

Rugby walked off
