	For those not in the know, Mate (pronoince Ma+tay) is a
drink fairly common in that area.  It is properly served warm, with
the leaves compacted into a dark green mass in the cup and a straw
consisting of a flat plate with several small holes in it and a tube
to deliver the strained refreshment to your mouth.  So far as taste,
it reminds me of nothing so much as water steeped in alfalfa, and it
is reportedly fairly addictive, just like regular coffee.  Simply place
your straw in the mass, add hot water, and enjoy the flavor of grazing
on freshly-cut hay in the Brazilian highlands.

	Personally, I prefer a beer.

Hmmm..... It's one of my peeves that people just refuse to show their real
identities. Except the ones who *do* use skateboards and the like, but
then get critisized for doing so. I say: do what you like to, and don't
let other people tell you you're too old. Or, as my T-shirt from my local
hard-rock cafe says: "If it's too loud, ya're too old"

Peeve: Politically Correct sexist pigs

Still in the neverending hunt for a roommate I think I can co-habit with
and not be convicted of murder in the near future.

So this chick calls up about the apartment last night - no let's call her
a wench, I think she'd find that more offensive.

Anyway we're chatting, she mentions that she's a lesbian and would that bother
me.  I said "No, not at all.  By the way, I sleep with men, would that bother
you?"

To which she replied "Well, I haven't had men in my space for a long time
because they tend to be sexist and offensive.  Do you think the men you
bring home would automatically assume that I'm single because I'm not
with a man and try to get into my pants?  That's what men do."

To which I replied that i don't date anyone who'd be enough of a sleaze to
try to bed my roommate no matter what my roomie's orientation - not exactly
my idea of a dream date.

Then I told her I didn't think i could live with her because she's sexist.

She got really upset & protested her PC-ness.  

I told her that I didn't want any of my friends, many of whom are male, to
feel that my home is a place where they will be stereotyped and judged
solely on the basis of their gender or sexual preference.

She got really upset & told me I was a homophobe & that I'd understand
if I just got together with a woman.

So I told her that she just needed a good fuck from guy hung like a horse
to get the bug out of her ass.

Damn, I wish Banta were out here - I'd refer her to him for some straightening
<heh> out.

Anyway, I don't think she's moving in.

Peeve: people who think it's dreadful to stereotype people who have 
traditionally had LESS rights than they have, but perfectly OK to 
stereotype people who have traditionally had MORE rights than they
have.  i mean, when did rejecting people on the basis of gender or
orientation become the RIGHT thing to do?

MR DANIEL C A HILLMAN
What do you do if you're locked out of your hotel room--naked?

No shit, there I was, getting the mail out of the mailbox, and 
*that* message glared up at me. Guiltily, I glanced down the street. 
As far as I could tell, no one was looking. Had I been singled out? 
I was overcome with a feeling of having been specially chosen for 
this message.

Nostradamus himself may have predicted someday I'd step naked into 
the hall of a hotel to relieve the room service fellow of his cart 
of alcoholic beverages, oblivious to the door wheezing shut on its 
NeverSlam pneumatic closing mechanism.

"Hmmm," I thought, walking back to the house. I haven't exactly made 
it a habit to get locked out of my hotel room naked. What does a 
typical person do under the circumstance? Goes down to the hotel 
lounge for a drink, I suppose.

I would postulate further the secret to putting on a good show when 
walking through a hotel naked is keeping one's ManTool engorged just 
enough to make those meaty thwack-thwack sounds as it slaps against 
your legs, yet not allowing it to become so erect that strangers 
think you're offering to hold their coats.

Peeve: I'll have to hang out in a hotel in a couple of weeks, so I 
may have grounds to test this. Any Peevers gonna be in New Orleans 
on January 13 & 14 or Chicago on the 15th who wanna get together for 
drinks?

Peeve: Trying to get money out of UNM to go to this conference is a 
goddamned pain in the ass. Next time I'm gonna present over the 
phone.

Mom's Moving Tip du Jour: "Since you're just going to be moving 
again in the fall you might as well put your books and the stereo in 
storage."

BoneUs Moving Tip: "Have someone help you load the heavier things 
into the truck. You don't want to get *another* hernia, do you?"
