No, but I understood the source of the metaphor she conjured up, and I have seen scenes where primate behavior evokes a certain easily anthropomorphized tender interaction. > > Thought not. Most normal folks as well. Maybe Rita speaks from personal > experiences? Dunno... Who knows? I never perceived any need for medication, only an underlying odd humor. Rita's subject lines have always been strangely provocative, and we all seem to get drawn in and tangled up, regardless of how strange, or however good, bad, corny, or in bad taste her images might be. I always thought the big mystery to be the obsession with high ticket equipment, and no apparent need for it. That, and the source of income to support what appears to nothing more than a hobby. I have yet to see anything from her of the same quality Bret has given us, or some of the work submitted to the SI (present company not included.) -- Regards, Savageduck
