Now what, I wonder, is a cheeky appellation if "tush" isn't?

Good Morning Country Music Fans!

Well, glad to see that silly, but infectuous, Achy Breaky thing did not beat
out nice guy Vince Gill and that beautiful "Look at Us" (really is "pretty
as a picture").  But were a couple of surprises.  Looks like someone thinks
Reba got enough awards already ---wouldn't have picked MCC over her.  And
some old names were missing.  Andrew Jackson got an award for singing about
Hank Sr, but I guess Hank's son is still shaking Jim Beam's hand.  And
that newbie award - she was a surprise ...can't even remember her name.  Was
nice to see that the "old cowboy" repaid an old favor and let Randy back on
the stage ... hope that means better times are ahead for RT.
And how could anybody be upset with Garth ..... he (and some others) really
knew who to thank.

Don, unofficial CMA Award reviewer

                            Peace,

Pratt and Whitney is a big aircraft engine manufacturer, a part of United
Technologies.  Their world Headquarters and the P&W main plant are less than
20 minutes from my house.  Thirteen years is nothing for a 747, really; many
are older.  The engines on that plane were the standard ones for a 747, and
for DC10s and 767s.  For one of those, never mind two, to catch fire, someone
somewhere must have really messed those babies up.  Old age might be the
culprit too, but it sounds more like a maintainence problem from here.

Ouch!  Has the government mobilized any armed forces to help out?  Or 
maybe gotten help from an American or British unit?  The medics I know are
trained to treat injuries like the ones we're hearing about.  Bases are also
good places to find blood donors - you just order the grunts to fall in for
vampire detail.:-)

The academic freedom newsgroup is well-worth subbing to.  The quality
is generally quite high, and it provides a sense of the complicated
relationship between technology and Constitutional rights (eg,
privacy, speech). The current dominant thread is on the issue of
whether, when, and/or under what circumstances sysads can ban computer

No, I won't reject it, but I propose a different explanation.  Both
of JAG's horror stories involve a player called the government.  It
assigns itself a monopoly on providing education and takes ownership
of resource-bearing lands.  Then, because people in the government
have this idea that exchanging claims to other goods for goods is
unfair, in place of such exchanges we see the exchanges of favors
for goods.

That attitude is about as logical as, "You teach economics, what
stocks should I buy?"  My sympathies.  Why doesn't anyone assume that
all mathematicians must really enjoy Bach, or Schoenberg for that

There's some movie during which Faye Dunaway seduces the guy she's
playing chess with by caressing the bishop.  Maybe someone on the
list knows the title and the story.

No, I didn't recommend.  I was keeping it secret, but I inadvertently
gave a copy to Brad at the clambake and he's told everyone.

Well, clearly it has nothing to do with your own mail, right?

Has to be a listserv option, then.
