Gay Rights For Mad Bi-Polar Bares
BI-Polar disorder is this year’s manic depression. It’s the global warming of mental illnesses. German polar bears undoubtedly suffer from it. And anyone whose anyone has got it, or wants it.
The New York Times reports:
About 5.7 million Americans over 18 have bipolar disorder … another 2.4 million have schizophrenia … The small slice of this disparate population who have chosen to share their experiences with the public liken their efforts to those of the gay-rights and similar movements of a generation ago.
Just as gay-rights activists reclaimed the word queer as a badge of honor rather than a slur, these advocates proudly call themselves mad; they say their conditions do not preclude them from productive lives.
But is it a movment. And if so, which way is it moving?
Members of the mad pride movement do not always agree on their aims and intentions.
Indeed…

They’re in two minds about this, somedays it’s up, somedays it’s down, all depends on the meds.

But it’s all white to be bi-polar these days, surely?
May 12th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Bear with me, it’s been a long day……………
May 12th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
I’m white behind you…
May 12th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
I’m a bit grizzly, it’s bedtime for little moderators.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Do Grizzlies prefer Marmite or Porridge on Tuesday mornings?
May 12th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Marmite for company, but ooh, post me some porridge, pretty please!
May 12th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
If only it was Oats-so-simple…
May 12th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
Thus breaking all the rules about what bears have for breakfast; surely honey is called for?
May 12th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Honey I can get, but the bloody Frogs don’t understand porridge, or sausages.
Mmmmn, sausages, sausage sarnie, Yorkshire tea bag in a steaming mug, Hp sauce, oooh, aaah, oooh, more, faster, please!
May 12th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Or a smackerel of something similar, if Saul hasn’t snaffled it all.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Sausages don’t work well by post; it would have to be a day trip by ferry…

Carmen - I do the cartwheels, chenier has ideas about camels, you do the Voice of Reason - calm down, Madame!
May 12th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
Camper van can be at Calais docks by 8am, Can you?
May 12th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Sadly not; the bloody camel really doesn’t get up to speed much before noon…
May 12th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Pricked sausage teaser.

I’ll have you know I’m in this thread as the Voice of Insanity.

Really, Madam! I’m shocked!
Which reminds me; has the genuine cobblestone from PDL developed any distinguishing features yet?
May 12th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Hp sauce, oooh, aaah, oooh, more, faster, please!

……………….
The three of us should form a pop group - we could be called Banan-shee-rama?
May 12th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
No, Public Holiday in France today, but just wait until the photoshop opens Tuesday, a little hand print methinks………or maybe a footprint.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
Is that the cat that chewed the new shoe?
May 12th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
Nothing too over the top; after all, miracles have to be plausible, sorry, I mean genuine…
May 12th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
About the 3 of us forming a pop group; what are we going to pop?
May 12th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Weasel, definitely weasel.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:22 pm
As long as it’s not balloons; I have a nervous disposition. I never go near bears of any kind…

……………………
We are going to be a tribute band to Bananarama and pop our waist-fastenings as we blare out the lines “Girth of Venus, Your Desire..”
I’ll get me coat ..
May 12th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
We could be The Mad Tri-Polar Bares…….
With that I bid you both adieu…..
May 12th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
I do hope that you two can sing.
I see myself as more of an artistic director type, though if pressed I could probably sew on a few million sequins.
But I refuse point blank to go anywhere near an iron…

Can’t act, can’t sing, can dance a little.
