It looks like a *house arrest* bracelet! |

Love and marriage, it's an institution you can't disparage. Ask the local gentry, they will say it's elementary. |

Is there perhaps a cad we could ask, then? |

Love and marriage, horse and carriage
You can have the other without the one
But it goes wherefore it will
With luck, that's not downhill

So Institutionalised Love, is that the kind of love that rocks perpetually in a corridor, whilst gently dribbling and working its thumbs into its sweater-sleeves? Vocally, it might emit long low groans and occasionally punctuate these with clipped barks and shouts, often coinciding with flapping at invisible tormentors. Mentally it might repeat the same broken drug-fuddled mantra as it shuffles along its carpet-worn path up and down the far-wall of the communal area, until the next top-up dose of fluphenazine provides another unwelcome interruption. That kind of love? They type of love that emerges many years later after a series of Manic Episodes of Love? |

and I don't doubt John loves me."
Geoffrey: "Like a glutton loves his lunch." |

What I was getting at, is -- it's fun to realize great ideas, even more so -- to do it out of love. |

So, the idea is that you declare you're "in love" with
someone so you each buy a silicone wristband and
run about showing them off, to prove you're in love? |

Nothing, it's still in vogue with Heathens. Jenny and I
jumped over a broomstick laid across a sword. I've
forgotten exactly what that symbolizes, but I knew what it
meant at the time. |

// I've forgotten exactly what that symbolizes// |

It symbolizes that (a) you have access to a
broomstick; (b) you have access to a sword and (c)
neither of you is afflicted with mobility issues. |
