Hello beautiful Teletypewriter readers! I’m writing upon my return from the 47th Annual meeting of the Society of Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy. I always love going to these events — of course there are excellent papers and discussion, but it’s also cool to hang out with a bunch of really nerdy people (I’m no exception!). It’s interesting to look around and see folks of all different ages and stages in their careers and, yet, we all sort of look as though we belong in this particular group. This fact was made very obvious when, on the first night of the conference, a bunch of quasi-rabid hockey fans showed up for an event at the hotel.

or why i’m in favor of body hair
Preface: First, I would like to state clearly and concisely that I do not look at pornography, rather I enjoy it. I watch it, read it; it is integral to the sanity of a single guy.

Not just on women but on men as well. Secondly, I am in no way in line with the New Age Hippy Locally Grown Agenda which also seems to be an on-going albeit completely different and odoriferous trend. And lastly,I would like to loosely define body hair as hair on the legs, within the axillary and pubic regions, and in the case of males, hair on the torso. Now we have some parameters. Great.
