The hell it does!

Sheesh, you're no carnivore! I mean, the whole POINT of eating meat
is in knowing that a cute, dark-eyed furry forest friend has died
in agony for your delectation. Otherwise, well ... why bother? Bowel
cancer, obesity, cardiac disease -- the only excuse is up-front
tastelessness. Believe me, meat-eating beats a sado-masochistic
menage-a-trois any day of the week (with or without added Bolivian
marching powder). 

Peeve: the old saw about the pleasurable things in life being illegal,
immoral or fattening. Not so: you just need a perverse imagination
and the ability to improvise with initially unpromising material ...

Well, when they get a clue locally (which I doubt) we might see

Nolan,

Last week, I spent an evening strolling the Exploratorium, bloating
myself on free roast beef, shrimp, Heineken, and some rather nice
Cabernet.  There was complimentary bus service back to the BART
station, meaning I didn't have to drive, so I probably went through a
bottle of the Cab and more than a couple beers.

Anyway, toward the end of the evening, they handed out T-shirts.  I
got one, and they handed me a second one, "In case I knew anyone at
Wollongong."  What I'm asking is are you interested in a very nicely
printed shirt that says "TGV Multinet" on it?

Let me know.

I can relate to this, man.

I am not now, nor have I ever been, rustic by nature or rural by
bent. However, for a period of years (some time ago) I was attached
to a farmer's daughter. Admittedly there may not be much in common 
between Iowa and East Sussex, but shit -- yeah, I got the shit.

Peeve: waking up with a hangover and a worse-than-normal taste in 
my mouth at her parent's home one morning. Hearing a tractor. 
Getting up to discover that the reason for the taste -- remember,
the real place you get your sense of flavour from is your nose -- 
was that there was a twenty-foot-deep pile of shit outside the
bedroom window. Yurp, they was mucking out a barn where about fifty 
head of cattle had been nesting for most of the previous winter ...

Now, frankly I am a cave-dweller by nature. I'd be quite happy
spending years on end in a tin can between planets; I can
get agoraphobic in a broom cupboard. Okay, maybe I exagerate 
a little, but you get the picture. All this fresh-air-and-
country-walks shit is fine for those of you who are, like,
one with the environment, but _I'm_not_!

!Peeve: we split up years ago. And a good thing too.

!!Peeve: I can look back on it now and !Peeve about the fact that
we split up. I suppose it shows that somewhere along the way I regained

Get it right. The electricity generating companies decide that since they can
get coal cheaper from other countries than British Coal produces it, they are
going to make a sound business decision and buy foreign coal. The government,
in charge of British Coal, realise that there is no way that they can possibly
compete in the world coal market and are gradually getting rid of the industry
altogether.

Denial isn't pretty (although its entertainment value is undeniable).  I

That "great sucking sound" you hear isn't what you think it is.  It's the

from the legions of the sanctified Correct, now ready to take this voice

Porkpie hats, as I understand the style, are only worn by rappers and their
fans these days.  But a great many poor drivers -- particularly elderly,
*slow* male drivers -- do wear hats.  Usually fishing hats, of the type worn 
by Colonel Henry Blake in the early episodes of M*A*S*H.  (Sans fishing lures,
of course.)

Hmm, there is a slight problem with the idea (meritorious though it
might be).  The border guards usually take a dim view of heavily armed
USAns crossing the border with mayhem in mind, although they just
might make an exception if we say we're headed for Quebec to "put the
ungrateful scum in their place".

Maybe she meant that with her you can score points in The Big Game,
that she is a toy that might put you on top in the end, especially if
you get her drunk first.  On Judgment Day, could you stand to be neck
and neck with the Sultan of Brunei, knowing you could have been clear

Forget about her though.  A real toy doesn't haggle its own price, it
says "squeeze me and push my button."

The above two contradictory excerpts from Sean's posting amply illustrate

On the one hand, he has lurked and on the other hand, he has posted for

Crossposting. Feh.

Your sentiments are meritorious, but you have to work on those

It is, I will admit, true that I too was considering taking up a
