The poster might mean 32,767 which has meaning to computer
nerds, since it's a power of 2 less 1 and the maximum magnitude
of a signed 16-bit integer.  Then again, 36,767 might be the
maximum magnitude of a Ferengi pizza order form.

         An afternoon with Gregor Mendel and Kim Carnes


     It was a hot summer afternoon like most.  Paul and I flipped
baseball cards while Gregor Mendel worked out a hitch in the
canning process.
     "Peas!," he exclaimed, "Nature's candy!"
     Paul chimed in, "Peas give you cooties."
     I was way ahead of him, already reaming my ears with felt.
     "No," he said, drawing a diagram on the ground of some stupid
hybrid chart.
     I distracted him, allowing Paul to sneak up behind him and
crouch on all fours.  He gave the thumbs up and pointed to the
fresh, smarmy pile of beagle dootie that lay Gregor was about to
befriend.
     I pushed.  Rommel advanced.  Paul scriptured.  I Gestapoed.

Can we really be sure that:

a) Hitler's moustache was real? (Lee Press-on moustache perhaps? Maybe
   a Chia-Moustache?)

b) Switzerland is neutral, but instead is linked to Cuba in some
   devious political way (Gives it arms supplies, including LOTS
   of pocket knives?)

c) the posts in talk.bizarre actually come from real posters, rather than
   some complicated Artificial Intelligence algorithm gone haywire?

d) Someone hasn't already licked that apple you're about to eat?
   (why are there those teethmarks in it anyways?)

e) I'm not in everyone's KILLFILE by now?

f) Monty Python exists?

g) Cher uses plastic surgery?

h) Madonna isn't a virgin?

i) The Bionic Woman was too rough when she had sex?

j) the sky ISN'T falling? 

k) you're stupid to be reading this far?

l) that anyone CARES what the meaning of life is?

m) there's not someone peering over your left shoulder as you type,
   but disappears as soon as you look?

n) Steve Franklin is ultra-intelligent, yet you are just a plain joe?

o) the polls are true, when everyone sees Clinton to be such a jackass?

p) U.F.O.'s haven't abducted RICHH, and left an alien to post ridiculous

q) Tang is anything but sugar?

r) those guys actually got to the top of Mount Everest? I mean, come'on... 
   who's really gonna check?

s) the Fonz REALLY got that many women?

t) there's any hope for you guys, when most people think you've utterly
   lost it?

u) IBM's aren't a grand conspiracy to keep our computer technology from
   evolving too quickly, when everyone KNOWS that Macintosh is
   the way of the future?

v) DOS wasn't meant to be an april fools joke? ("Hey boss - I finished
   the new o/s for ya! hahaha - april fo... whatdya mean ya like it?
   oh... umm... good - I'm glad.")

w) the Sound of music was initially a family movie? I guess they took
   a lot of scenes out of the nunnery that were rated "x". And the initial
   lyrics to "edelweiss" were utterly OBSCENE.

x) Calculus isn't just a cruel joke to mulch poor students' minds into 
   oblivious mayhem?

y) Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts were rejected by Hallmark cards 13 times?

z) the letter "z" actually exists. Maybe way back when the alphabet was
   created they said "hey, let's make 26 letters", but were stumped by
   the 26th letter. Then they said "well, let's make up a letter -

  If someone breaks into your house, they aren't there to be friendly. 
They deserve nothing.  They gave up their rights the minute they entered
your house.  The best way of dealing with an intruder in your house is to 
call the police, the second best way is to make sure that the intruder 
does you or your family no harm, and if that involves killing someone,
tough shit.
  Oh, and by the way, if you got the right gun, you'll only need to shoot 
them once.

This trail is for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.
Dogs are also allowed on the northern half.

The most stimulating aspect is that, strategically

     That's debatable.  Perhaps your car actually
fucked up.

     Consider:  If your car had let you get hurt
just a bit, you might have ended up in the hospital
for just a little while and you might have had your
arms in a cast and you might have been sitting in
your bed with a woodie and a pretty nurse might have
wandered by and taken pity on your sad state and
given you a hand job.

     You'd still be a virgin, but at least you'd
have gotten some strange.

Subject: what's your sign?
Date: 27 Aug 92 14:43:23 GMT

First session of sign language class last night. I can now spell "kent"
with some facility, and tease my wife unmercifully in sign language.
This looks like a real winner.

The sign for "negation" is that same thumb flip off the chin that the
Italians use with such great creativity to indicate your probably lack
of mammalian ancestry.

"Agency", "actor-hood", or "thing/person responsible for the effect" is
two vertical lines drawn down the torso with fingers out, palms flat,
like caressing a board.

"Learning" is drawing a web from the outstretched other hand to the
forehead, symbolically taking knowledge from a book.

"Learning" followed by "agency" is "student".

Most of the class was done in mime, by a teacher who took the job just
two hours before the class. Cute, blond, fortyish, fun.

Had no idea American Sign Language involved so much street theater.

Recommended.
