Here's a puzzle:  LISTSERV@UGA is up, no links between UGA and OHSTVMA
are down, and yet I haven't received any mail from any list in over 3
hours.  Is there something wrong with BITNET?

In case there is, don't send mail to my Bitnet address, send it to my
Internet one (r3ejd@vm1.cc.uakron.edu).

Jenna, could you use my Spam-and-Tater-Tot Casserole recipe if I can
find it?

Don't forget Torkel's Swedish cake mix.  A commercial preparation, but
adaptable for this purpose, I should think.

Exactly the same as certain Hindus with fundamentalist leanings who
stayed in our neighbourhood. Whenever the nearby mosque called the
faithful to worship, they screamed "shut up, filthy bastards".

Fanaticism must be a universal thing.

These are the damndest rules I ever heard.  Lose a turn?  Since when?  Hey, I'm
used to winning this game in one turn.  This sucks.  My game says you move
around the board at will, depending on the roll, and answer whatever question
you happen to land on.  None of this one of each and you have to land exactly on
the one you *haven't* answered.

That sucking sound you here is the rules of this game.

Toward from the center, please.

  This is a recurring topic in language groups on the net. The phenomenon
is known as "the intrusive r" (or something similar) and is found in English
varieties of English. There was once an article in which it was pointed out
that you find it in Bostonian English, where "law and order" becomes
"lawr and ordah".

We know who to blame for that too - cheap building contractors.:-)  People
here often have the same problem during the summer.  We usually can manage to

Well, thanks to the advent of VCRs, I don't go to see movies in public anymore
..... but I'm sure I would have a 'good howl' if I did, but that wouldn't put
me off going. I only ever went out with one fellow who was embarrassed at my
blubbering in 'West Side Story'..... the rest just used to make sure they
carried a big box of kleenex with them when they took me to the movies. :-)

  Well, that's chapter 6 done, at least in a first version. Time to drink
6 beers and watch TV (I think "Another 48 hours", a nicely mindless movie,
is on). The triumph of this chapter was of course my translation of
"The wind fluttered the shade in the window, casting a brilliant crack of
sunlight across the room" as "Rullgardinen fladdrade i vinden, och en lysande
solstrimma folll over rummet". How about that? Ha!

  I'm still awaiting an elucidation of the "Howard Moe account".

Hi,

Just sent out something I think got lost re some software that worked with
graphics (multiple item displays, graphic file conversion, and 1 other
thing}.  Think ggs and Natalie were discussing these.  Anyway, were these
items available by FTP?  If so, could someone post (or repost) details?
Thanks.

                            Peace,
                                  Don

Ah, yes, the memories I have of GT's neighborhood church calling the
faithful to worship on Sunday morning, only to be answered by him
screaming, "shut up, ye filthy bastards!"

That is *beautiful*...much nicer than the original.

But...is "folll" really spelled with three els? Not "follt" maybe?

I guess everyone else is as baffled as I am.

Went to see -Toys- last night: now I know I'm too old.  I didn't think 
it was funny, I thought it was <scary> and left after an hour of it.
And I'm someone who laughed a lot at -Dr Strangelove-, but that was when
I was young and immortal, and thought <that sort of people> were mere
caricatures.  STS, I know better now. :-(
