Not quite. The actual peeve, call it the Platonic ideal of the peeve, if
you wish, is you running on and on about whether the newsgroups line
would fill the Indian Ocean or merely the Caspian Sea. 

Allow me to speak for all of us when I suggest that your public
masturb^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hcontemplation of the numbers involved is very similar
to your research of how many fists could fit up your backside at the same
time.

You see, Marc, it is obvious that this series of posts was typed with
your elbows because you had both of your own fists up your ass. (Maybe you
were rubbing your eyes.) Sure, you've got 'em both up there with a finite
amount of space in between them, but we don't care how many fists you
could ultimately lodge up your flaccid back door.

We don't care because none of us wish to stick our own fists up your
bum. In a similar manner, none of us would *want* to post to every
newsgroup, much less entertain the idea of actually committing such an
unspeakable act.

	I knew a couple with one of those wiener-dogs, a Dachund or something
like that.  Anyway, they named it Bee Two-ten.  As in, Dachund B210.  THe
dog never did seem to get the joke, even when riding in their truck of the
same name.

Puts me in mind of some self-consciously whacky people I used to know
who had a dog called Cat and a cat called Dog.

More to the point; about three years ago I was living in Bradford at
the height of the Rushdie affair, with a couple of other lunatics
and a cat. We had a vote on what to call the cat, and narrowly 
avoided calling it Salman. You know; here's a doorstep, here you are
standing on it looking for the cat ... ``here Salman, where are you
Salman? ...''

This might have reduced our life expectancy had it had gone through
unchecked.

The really sad thing is that I've always been able to tie the knot in
a cherry stem, but it never seems to impress anyone.  I really wonder
if it's that I'm in the wrong crowds or that I'm easily impressed
myself...

ObPeeve: not knowing that we'd hired someone until I signed her

You drink too much, and the Gun Show is a couple of weekends away.  I
figured we'd have another get together then.  My ammo supply should be
better by then (Chris and Paul seriously depleted my 9mm supply by
some 500 rounds, and Dan chewed up the .45 hardball supply).

A fun time was had by all at the Kepler abode.  Massive quantities of
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Santa Fe Pale Ale and Anchor Steam were viewed
and consumed, and large quantities of meat were cooked and eaten.

Something that has peeved the hell out of me for a long time are those
"child-proof" lids, which seem to be on virtually everything nowadays.

Most of you are probably familiar with the plastic aspirin bottle type,
where you have to align two marks on the lid and bottle and apply about
600 pounds of force to pop the thing open. These are miserable enough.

The second type, which seems to be a little more evil are on larger
plastic containers. They have a little crescent shaped tab on the cap,
which engages a bump on the container. You have to squeeze the tab tight,
whilst turning the cap, and you have to have it squeezed for sure at each
turn, just where it engages the bump. A pair of water pump pliers works
well on these.

But the type that really blisters my butt the most are on gallon cans of
paint thinner. These have two caps, on inside the other. The outer cap is
plastic and the inner one is metal. To get this to work you need to
squeeze the plastic cap super hard, so that it "grips" (term used loosely)
the inner cap and allows you to turn it. This is made an extremely evil
proposition by the design of the metal cap threads - although they are
very coarse, the cap always seems to grab the neck of the can and bind in
exactly the right way to try to cross thread. Then it sticks hard, and, of
course, thanks to the wonderful plastic cap, you can't get it to turn loose.

Whoever conceived this last type needs to be neutered with a butter knife!

I guess this one's for me ;-)

The answer is that he hasn't worked with the band, or even turned up at
any gigs since the tour for The Chronicle of The Black Sword. He did
appear on the video released from that tour but had his vocals removed
from the live album (I think Brock did 'em). This was the result of an
argument about Moorcock not getting paid for something related to Blue
Oyster Cult who were presumably on the same record label at the time.

I kinda hope that he does turn up to a gig one day and that I'm there to
see it...

Havem't read any of his books in years although I'm sure I bought one

"Turned into"?  By the holy plumbicon of Antioch, Scearce, can your
