Reminds me of something my Radio/TV teacher in high school (an Irish emigre)
used to say....

"Before I go back to the Old Country, I'll have the Graphic Arts class make me
a T-shirt with a view down the barrel of a .44 Magnum on the front and, on the
back, words saying:

		GUNS

	It's an American thing.
	You wouldn't understand."

We only e-mailed the long one this year, figuring that it was the one
that Trufen of Dave(TM) would want to read.   Mailing list customers who
want the abbreviated one can mail a request to barry@clarinet.com for it.

This week, Dave makes fun of two towns in Alberta.  Next week it's the
first part of the results of the bad song contest, the winners the week
after that.

Dave may have decided to add "making fun of Canada" to his list of themes.

  You missed Dave's latest book, "Dave Barry Does Japan", in your list.
It's among his best work.
  And Dave was on the Tonight Show.  (He mentions it in his book -- I 
forget which one.)  Also, I've seen him on Letterman.  He's funnier 
on paper.

I bought the DB one.  I agree, it's funny.  A worthy addition to my yearly

Yes, for anyone who likes The Dave[tm], PJ's book Modern Manners is a scream!
Similar style of humor, but slightly more....literate seeming.  I've read 
some of PJ's other stuff, like Parliament of Whores (a take on government) 
and Holidays in Hell (wherein our hero travels to some of the least popular
places to be and tells about them at great length), and IMO, none of them 
were even close to as funny as Manners.

In fact, back in my young and foolish days, before I knew what The Dave 
looked like, I saw PJ hyping this book on Larry King or some such show, and
from the things he was saying, I thought he *WAS* the Dave.

But seriously, if you run out of Dave, and have to have just a little more,
buy Modern Manners.

Will.

Well, it's a question we have yet to resolve.  We can't reprint old columns,
per se, that's a right you pay extra for.  Paper newspapers can sell back
issues of course, but usually only from the run-of-press at the time of
the issue.  I don't know what an electronic back issue is.

But we're talking with the agent of Mr. B himself about publishing collections
of columns, as he does in his books.

Hope you caught the Sports Illustrated issue just before the World Series 
that featured an article by a Canadian writer "explaining" Canada to 
visiting Yanks: it was done as an alphabetical list. B was for bunts, a 
very Canadian play, since it's self-effacing and self-sacrificing, not 
showy at all. W was for the War of 1812: "We won. You lost. Nyah nyah."

There was some discussion here before the new year about the new DB desk 
calendar and what it would contain. During my after-Christmas shopping, I
picked up the 1993 DaveBarry calendar as well as PJ O'Rourke's Modern Manners
calendar.

The DB calendar is different from the 1992 one. Several of the January quotes
are from "The Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need", which I just finished
reading. The PJ calendar is excerpts from his book "Modern Manners"

Hi everyone.  I am looking for the approximate date of a DB article.  It
is about guys and doing the laundry.  It is entitled something like "Guys

guys use the pile method and the clothes on the bottom get clean from the

I worked in a food coop for a while and frequently had to ask
customers to put on shoes. When I commented to the manager about how I
thought this was silly, she said that it's to protect bare-footed
person as much as the store. Glass pieces and chemical substances
abound--even in natural-food oriented coops. Also, I should think that
liability and insurance on the part of the establishment plays a part
in this. The ordinance keeps customers from suing establishments for
cut feet, stubbed toes, etc.

I don't go out naked these days but my feet are frequently bare.  This

must be worn just about anywhere.

This was even the case when I lived in Berkeley, though less so.

NG's segment on the Maury Povitch show was rated as one of the
best 1992 talk show moments on the "Cream of Talk Soup" special on
E! Entertainment Television.

NG did the Povitch show naked, obviously, with the rape-victim
blue dot selectively placed and a small mike wrapped around his
neck.  "Talk Soup" host Greg Kinnear asked Povitch if he considered
asking NG to close his legs.  Maury said he didn't.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet but
NG got a one page (or half-page) article about him
in People magazine which I read on Dec 20th so it

article but it has a nifty picture.

Actually, Eddings changed the origin of the orb (Cthrag Yaska) when he went
from the Belgariad to the Mallorean.  In the Belgariad, Belgarath states that
the Orb was "nothing but an ordinary stone until [Aldur] touched it." So both

I read it.  It was alright but not as good as his other books.  He created
a lot of interesting characters (wierdos and such), but he didn't develop
them as much as he has in other books.  There is also a lot of Good/Evil
symbolism. Unfortunately, I only caught on to most of it, while thinking
back over the book. (some of it is obvious, ie The two main characters are
Raphael and Damon. Gee can you guess which represents good). 

This might be a book that is better the second time round, but I'm in no
hurry to pick it up a second time.

If you do start reading it and find it slow going, do finish reading it. 
It does get addictive for a number of pages near the end.

Just my opinion,

Mike Macchione

Yes. The fact that one of them is (the hawk equivalent of ??) a sorceror
makes little difference in their case, as they are both very fond of each
other. If Vella dies first, Beldin might come back into circulation again,
but he might not.
