The explantion for why the rapture didn't happen on
Oct. 23rd, 1992 is that, there was also an apocalypse
coming at exactly the same time, and they canceled 
each other out! So the world went on merrily as if
nothing had happened.

When I am in an inspired mood, I hunt deer with a tranquilizer gun and
force them to wear loud clothing.

Sometimes, if the mood is especially inspired, I also give them a Mohawk.

I'd worry more about the dozens of alkaloids in the Earl Grey tea than
about what is in the Sugar Twin.  People use Sugar Twin because it tastes
a lot like sugar (probably because it *is* mostly a sugar), and has
fewer calories than sucrose.

My girlfriend, a frothing-at-the-mouth democrat, had covered my apartment
with Clinton/Gore posters.  The election's been over for a while now and
she still doesn't realize her horrid mistake, even with all the backpedaling
Bill's been doing.

In the bathroom there are five different biographies of Clinton and four
of Al Gore.

She had Clinton/Gore t-shirts, sweaters, socks, and tampons.

So, anyway, Monday morning I kicked her out and had the UTTER JOY of burning
a mountain of Clinton/Gore paraphenalia.

(She moved to LA to be closer to Roger David "Boom-Boom" Carasso.  Which way
did Carasso vote in the election?)

The upshot of all this is that since I no longer have a girlfriend, I'm free
to angst again, and I should be returning to USENET once more.

job was with a British computer manufacturer.  One year we got to write our
own entries for the company telephone list.  Preferred format was surname,
initials, some kind of description (v. short), location code.  This last
was 3 letters followed by a 2-digit number.  E.g., mine read

up a colleague's number to find he had described himself as "Ace prgmr".

To be honest with you, I think disclaimers have been done to death.  There was
a good one which read "The above opinions are entirely yours" or something.

I remember one guy put instructions on how to killfile him in his sig line.

I think that sig lines can be an art form ('course, so can mud pie making)
if you want a *really* good sig line (which I hit maybe once in a hundred or
so posts) you have to put some serious thought into it.

Actually, now that I look at it, this disclaimer does have promise...
(Hell, I've seen lots worse.  'Twill work, just don't expect any awards)

You should have crossposted this to alt.sex.bondage.

Which reminds me of a news story that I read a number of years ago where

This is where the concept of a non-stick coating gains great significance.
