Krause,
I do have to ask you, what is with your anal fixation. It has rubbed off on
your buddy Kevin and it seems every one of yours and Kevin's post mention
the anus. What gives?

Ahh, I see Smithers has his nose up my butt, as usual. I'm afraid the
well-intentioned KU Rugby Club historian is wrong. In fact, there was a
Rugby Union formed among midwest universities while I was still in high
school in the east.
Isn't it interesting that at least 75% of "Smithers" life on usenet is
spent with his nose up my butt...

Anal fixation is a result of maladaption during potty training. Very often it's
due to punishment during potty training.

****************************************
"Anal Fixation"

Definition: Anal Fixation refers to attachment to anal activities and their
manifestations. According to Freud's psychosexual development stages, children
between the ages 18 to 36 months get their most intense gratification through
retaining or expelling feces. The major event at this stage is toilet training,
a process through which children are taught when, where, and how excretion is
deemed appropriate by society. Children at this stage start to notice the
pleasure and displeasure associated with bowel movements. Through toilet
training, they also discover their own ability to control such movements. Along
with it comes the realization that this ability gives them power over their
parents. That is, by exercising control over the retention and expulsion of
feces, a child can choose to either grand or resist parents' wishes.

Maladaptation in this stage manifests as either anal expulsive personality or
anal retentive personality, both of which lead to immature and neurotic behavior
in one's adult life.

Pay close attention to that last paragraph. Try not to think of Harry and Kevin
when doing so.
