Are there int'l flights to Charlotte?  If not, there's always Washington
slightly to the north of NC and Atlanta slightly to the south.

Now that most of the words-l guys are doubled over imagining the
male-specific piercings I'll post the female-specific section from
the same FAQ:

                        FEMALE PIERCINGS

Labia   Both inner and outer labia can be pierced; inner labia are
generally less painful and heal faster.  Both sets can be used for
bondage, including closing off the vagina with rings or locks;  weights
can be used to stretch labia piercings so that they become loops.

Clitoris And Clitoris Hood   The piercing of the clitoris is not common
and a bit controversial.  Some say that it is risky to pierce something
with such a great concentration of nerve endings but others (particularly
those with them) say that they are the greatest thing on earth.  The
piercing of the small flap of skin that covers the clit is more widely
practised (this piercing is sometimes called a Queen Kristina).  Both
piercings provide a great deal of stimulation to the clitoris (sometimes
too much!).

Fourchette  The fourchette is similar to the guiche for men and is of
modern origins.  The entry point is between the anus and end of the 
vagina, the exit point is through the vaginal wall.  Healing time is approx.
3 months.  Supposed to be best with a horseshoe type ring with balls at both
ends.

(BTW, several piercing GIFs were recently posted to one of the binaries
 groups.  At least one of 'em featured a clitoral (NOT hood) piercing.)

I won't know until he surfaces from 'down under'... but since he often comments
about the length of time I spend reading words-l (and tying up the modem so
he can't use it), I think he is having a 'revelation' and becoming apprehensive

	(This is much more interesting than Yet Another Bullshit

except maybe academia.)

	I'm sure some of Will baby's words were made up from out of
his imagination (which is not nothing, but his unique synthesis of his
experiences), others were already out in the culture and he
popularized them and spread them.  Other words are made up by several
people at the same time -- they just leap out of a set of
circumstances.  For example, the word "netiquette."  Chuq von Rospach
wrote the original document explaining the very basics, and is given
credit for making up the word, but I'm sure others came up with it at
around the same time, and if Chuq were not around, someone else would
have.

Subject:      commander in chief

Greetings,

Oh, sorry about the poltically incorrect subject headings.  Since we
often think of surprise as an essential element in humor, it may be
inappropriate to view the congressional response to Clinton's plans
to command the military to end its discriminatory practices toward
gays.  Still, it is clearly ironic that the same irresponsible twits
who've consistently avoided exercising their constitutional
duty to declare war by conferring on one president or another bogus
power to make undeclared war by invoking the president's status as
commander in chief are now reversing their positions and making bogus
claims that congress must have input into this process.

Of course, it is equally unsurprising, hence unamusing, that (as several
commentators have observed) the reasons used by the homophobes are
strikingly similar to the reasons invoked by those who opposed racial
integration of the military.  I very much enjoyed learning that Strom
Thurmond, who has served since the 40s was saying the same things about
racial integration that some of these scumbags are saying about sexual-
preference integration.

I don't understand the question.  Isn't April 15 as good a birthday as
any other date?  Natalie figured out from all evidence she could piece
together that I was born mid April 1982.  Since it's awkward to say "My
birthday is mid April," she declared it April 15.  Part of the reason for
her choice of that date was that it was the birthday of the late Rusty,
a dachshund born in the early '50s.
