In honor of my Indian heritage, but with a nod to my status as a contemporary progressive American, I'm going to create a new service that blends the best of both worlds by offering arranged same-sex marriages. There's an Indian tradition that having a transgendered or cross-dressing man at one's wedding is good luck, and I think this is just improving the odds. I can't lose!

Dude, I think you misunderstood when I said you should consider doing more work with Unix.

Being the Indian-Comptemporary-Progressive-American type myself, I second your idea. It's nothing short of brilliant, because:

a. Contrary to popular belief, arranged marriages defy all reason (including my own) by actually working out really well.

b. I think you'd make a great pimp :D (I say this with the utmost respect and admiration - your post on Microsoft's font dialog was hysterical, by the way)

Wait a minute, it's good luck to have a transgendered or cross-dressing man at one's wedding?

Well they (the eunuchs ) are supposed to bring good luck at weddings and if I am not mistaken at other religious cermonies. They are however,however still discriminated against.

I'd like my arranged same-sex marriage with you. I know it would work out.
