   Via [1]The Kool-Aid Report, I've been able to determine the Motion
   Picture Association of America rating for this blog:
   [2]Online Dating 
   This is kind of problematic, since a 13-year-old is a regular
   contributor to this site. Analysis provided by the evaluation tool
   indicates:

     This rating was determined based on the presence of the following
     words:
     gay (7x) dead (6x) punch (2x) breast (1x)

   Hmmm...most of those "gay" words probably came in a post I did a few
   weeks ago about certain cars now being perceived as "gay." Similarly,
   "dead" was no doubt prominent in my last post about cockroaches
   (Heavens - it's a good thing that word didn't appear on the
   "restricted" list). I have no idea where "punch" might have been used,
   but I know I used the word "breast" in a poem posted for Mother's Day
   -- and it was used in its maternal sense. There can be no question of
   this fact, because I don't use the word "breast" here; I typically
   prefer terms such as "gazongas" or "ba-ZOOMS". (Just kidding, Mom).
   Just to be safe I think I need to announce that no one can read this
   blog unless accompanied by a sense of humor.
