Both my cars are small enough that they'd fare extremely poorly in the
event of a collision with a typical 'merkin land yacht -- particularly
the vehicle that I use most often, a vintage Honda.  I'm not protected 
behind barriers of heavy steel; I'm only out of the breeze.

Guess what?  I have a third vehicle, a Suzuki motorsickle.  It's a 3-
cylinder two-stroke, with an appropriately obnoxious exhaust note.

Peeve:  I haven't taken the time to get it running.  Makes a dandy rack 
for my chamois, though.  

It's always been a mystery how some people get along with only a mototcycle
for transportation.  How do they get the groceries home?

My sole source of peace of mind lately has been hot water.  

The time I spend in the shower, soaking in the heat like a plant
taking in sunshine, is the part of the day when my spirit is truly
free to soar.  My mind is free of distractions; I can be a million
miles away in my thoughts.  The sore muscles in my neck loosen up
and relax.  The steam parts the allergies and colds standing in the
way of clear breathing.  The extremities of my toes, cold and cut
off from circulation, come alive.  Hot water is god.  Why should it
be any different for us who the water benefits than for the lobster
for whom it is the angel of death?  Cleanliness is next to godliness,
after all, and when do you feel cleaner than in the shower?  

The feeling as each muscle in my back comes unsprung from the coiled
tension; it's beautiful.  Give the C-creatures credit, the hot tub
is a great idea.  

The Simpsons aren't bad either.

Curtis, your remark about the overcoat brings to mind the image of the 
'30s Big Man On Campus.  You know the one...long raccoon fur coat, wearing an 
old man's hat, waving a pennant, and yelling "23 skiddoo!".  You see them in 
old black and white movies from the '30s and '40s all the time.  Apparently one can also be
found at Berkeley.

I almost laughed out loud when I read about your notion of an overcoat.  
Finnish army surplus.  My, what excellent  taste in clothes you have.  
We have people at this university that dress like you do, except they paint 
all exposed flesh white, dye their hair black, wear black clothes, black 
lipstick, black eyeliner and mascara (yes, even the "boys"--I call them that 
because I'm not brave enough to lift up their tails and check to see if they 
are, in fact male).  We call them freaks.  And, as I recall,  you said it was 
an inch thick, too.  Oooooo, those cold California winters!!! Brrrr! We oughta
fly you up to Saskatoon at the beginning of February, when it's -40 (on
either temp. scale).  You won't like that overcoat very long when the wind 
starts to whistle up the crack of your ass because it caught your coat just 
right.

You know, it just struck me now, Curtis. You are one of those *really* geeky 
types that have *no* social life at all, and thinks that he is the 
"upper crust". Now the mental image I have is basically the same as before 
(raccoon hat, etc.), except I imagine you as 4'5", 78 lbs., acne, and horn 
rimmed glasses. Oh yes, don't forget the speech impediment.  Really.  That's 
the mental image I have.


As for my jacket, Curtis, luckily my idea of fashion didn't arrest while 
"Boogie Oogie Oogie" was still getting heavy airplay. Just so you know, ski 
jackets and parkas are no longer designed to make you look like the Michelin 
Man; these days the suckers are made out of Gore-Tex and lined with some space 
age material that makes them both less heavy and less bulky than a heavy 
sweater.The last time I wore polyester was... actually I can't remember the 
last time I wore polyester I was also too young to really remember disco, for 
which I give eternal thanks. And as for nylon....

Now that the truth is out, Curtis, try not to wet yourself while trying to 
typing that reply--stammering the words out loud to yourself so that one 
sentence takes 25 minutes to type.

Love and kisses.

This reminds me of a way-cool medical gizmo they used on my grandmother in
one of her last hospitalizations (hip replacement, I think).  They'd
fixed her up with one of the aforementioned plastic stopcock things, and
into it ran a hose connected to a biggish reservoir of <insert powerful
synthetic opiate name here> controlled by her own pushbutton, so that she
could get a quick blast of <powerful synthetic opiate> whenever she felt
the need; of course, the pushbutton was gimmicked with a timer to keep
from overdoing things.

This struck me as a very worthwhile innovation, quite aside from the
humane aspects, since it at last gives otherwise-helpless hospital
patients a powerful and unsubtle tool for getting rid of peevesome
visitors.  What a great way to drop a hint that you're bored: "Excuse me,

So, Don has a date. He views her as a receptacle. Then he freaks
when she lets on that he thinks she's a basketball hoop and
lets him know he is doing well on the court.

And he's complaining? I don't get it.

I suppose you want to go back to the enigmatic smile days where

Ooh!  Ooh, you're just so... mean!  Ooh!

God forbid some sausage-farmer from Saskatoon should call me a "freak."

In California, incidentally, the word is a term of high praise

what the waiters call you at really posh restaurants.

By the way, if you're thinking of some weird camo-dyed felt, I hate
to spoil your image.  It is a nice dirty-laundry gray and has no
obvious stylistic eccentricities except the buttons, which depict
a Finnish defender of the fatherland slaughtering a Russian infantryman
in what I consider to be quite unnecessary detail.  Fortunately I
was able to scrape off the paint and do not attract odd glances
while walking down the street, except for those odd glances that

Unfortunately, it is now moldering in an attic in Maryland.  Overcoats
are all very nice in cold weather, but somewhat of a burden while
surfing - they get all wet and heavy, and they hide your pecs.
