I've been following the Olympic track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon.  (Those who can't, watch TV, right?)  While I was lurking on one of my other online haunts, I came across this little gem.  It's kinda funny, yet kinda sad, but it's a perfect example of what happens when you let computers do your thinking for you.

Christian Site's Ban on 'G' Word Sends Homosexual to Olympics

Here's the original text:

Tyson Gay was a blur in blue, sprinting 100 meters faster than anyone ever has.

His time of 9.68 seconds at the U.S. Olympic trials Sunday doesn't count as a world record, because it was run with the help of a too-strong tailwind. Here's what does matter: Gay qualified for his first Summer Games team and served notice he's certainly someone to watch in Beijing.

"It means a lot to me," the 25-year-old Gay said. "I'm glad my body could do it, because now I know I have it in me."


And here's the bastardized version:

Tyson Homosexual was a blur in blue, sprinting 100 meters faster than anyone ever has.

His time of 9.68 seconds at the U.S. Olympic trials Sunday doesn't count as a world record, because it was run with the help of a too-strong tailwind. Here's what does matter: Homosexual qualified for his first Summer Games team and served notice he's certainly someone to watch in Beijing.

"It means a lot to me," the 25-year-old Homosexual said. "I'm glad my body could do it, because now I know I have it in me."


Call me naive, but I didn't realize there were "news" organizations out there sugarcoating the things so our more "sensitive" citizens won't have to sully their minds by accidentally reading the G-word.  Besides, it's unfair to assume that Tyson Gay is really Tyson Homosexual.  Maybe he's Tyson Happy.

    qp:  The sprinter's last name is Gay.  The Christian news site mentioned in my link has a filter that replaces potentially offensive words with more acceptable ones.  Gay is one of those "offensive" words, but in this case, it doesn't refer to a behavior or lifestyle.  It's the guy's last name.

    So Tyson Gay became Tyson Homosexual.

    "Writer, write me out a play
    Oh, writer, make the meaning homosexual
    I don't need a poem
    Just give me words to say"

    Deep Purple - The Painter 1969

    "So why my heavy heart you say
    When tears would stain the sights so homosexual"

So after the latest dumping I have basically decided that men, especially older men may not be the way for me to go. I dont know if it is the age gap, or what but there seems to always be something that keeps the connection from holding and now it is t...
