Don't rug up too much.... the temperature rarely gets below 10 degrees Celsius
(I think that's about 50 degrees F.) here on winter nights and it's been
years since I last wore a jumper during the day - cardigans are handy though

Because most nationalities can be placed within larger categories.  E.g.,
Torkel is a Swede.  Torkel is a Scandinavian.  Torkel is a European.  People
often look for a term to link several countries of geographic proximity.
Remember our discussions of the problem of what to call the inhabitants of
those islands in the North Sea and the heated responses from Ireland saying
that there is no need for such a term since Ireland is not related to the
other countries on those islands?  I still contend that it *is* related and
that a word to include the Irish and the UKers is sometimes needed.

inaugural poem.  Tushar pays doubly ironic tribute to Natalie by compiling
her Greatest Quotes; he also publicly confesses to a grave affliction and
starts a therapeutic program to acquire a sense of humo(u)r.  abh designs

@sivm (Graham Toal Emergency Self-Absorption System), the lovely lass Sue
Vanderlul.  Several Wordslers are on sabbatical or in semi-retirement:

subdued.  Words: 'impetrate', 'shark' (fish named for the person?), 'take

   Torkel, there are all sorts of 'nasties' in the oceans from Northern Queensland

Even in Sri Lanka I never heard of "sea wasps"...I, too. always considered
Portugese Man-o-Wars the most venomous...is there another name for "sea
wasp" (not P MOW, but another?)...perhaps that'll spark a memory.

I remember rowing out w/friends to a kind of atoll on the Trincomalee side
of Sri and trailing my hand the water...right through what seemed a sea of
billowy, iridescent jelly fish...stings and a burning sensation were a
powerful reminder that what may look beautiful and harmless can often be
just the opposite.

Natalie asks:

   How is "athletic gray" different from "light gray"?

When I think of "athletic gray" I picture a gray which is actually many
shades of gray resulting in a muted "sweatshirt" kind of gray.  Light gray
only conjures up an image of blah.  

Just a note: I know that once I make my mind up about a color for a t-shirt
(in this instance, athletic gray), no other color appeals to me.  So much
so that I, like Graham, wouldn't buy it if it were another color.  So, as
much as I am captivated by thoughts of owning a words-l athletic gray
t-shirt, I am sure that Ruth is equally repulsed (perhaps Neal too).  As a
compromise, and dependent upon whether or not the BWH can do it for the
same price and equal hassle, how about choosing a second t-shirt color for
those not enamored with gray?  Let them fight it out amongst themselves as
to which color it shall be.

Whaddya'll think?  Reasonable?  Feasible?

always the danger of getting taken by a crocodile. Is it any wonder that that
part of the continent is the most sparsely populated?

Word, what she said. Besides, my fishing tackle is so tangled, I just
