Funny I never would have thought of L. L. Bean and counterculture as
going together; I always thought of L. L. Bean as an over-priced over-
hyped outfit selling stuff for which true Yankees (in the "Down East"
sense of the word) wouldn't pay half the price the Beanies ask.

(Sort of like Jerry Rubin selling stocks, as the rumor goes.)

OK, let's make an exception for USGS maps, which they keep in stock in
their store up in Maine.  They're not too overpriced, but the clothes
they sell are WAY too pricy.

!peeve: maps.  New maps, old maps, any decent map.  Compasses, sextants,
and in general all navigational equipment are real neat too...

peeve: no time to take up orienteering.

related-retail-peeve: The Harvard/MIT Coop, the campus bookstore that
wants to become Nieman-Marcus.  Like any other campus bookstore I guess
in their attempt extract maximum profit from the student living off his
parents' credit card, but now they've added insult to injury with a
series of radio commercials in which purported ex-students extol the
virtues of continuing to shop at the Coop.  It's just not credible.

exception-that-proves-the-rule-!peeve: Sweatshirts with Maxwell's
equations on them that cost as much as or more as those with MIT or
Harvard insignia -- c'mon, its not as if they have to pay royalties
for the use of a trademark for Maxwell's equations...  The !peeve is
that even a Luddite like my wife (whos's studying chemistry: go figure)
wants one.

That's right, Paddy.  And I'm wearing a bicycle helmet _right now_ -
even if I'm not wearing it on my nuts.

Which means you just pissed me off.  Not smart, Jerry.

Now I realize that you're a witless Irish fuck with no more morals than
sense, and the only thing you do in your spare time is drink Guinness in
Papist pubs and plant pipe bombs in Prod ones.  But I see you're using
a computer, so you must have at least one fist outside your arse.
And maybe you can even think.

So apply your scotch-sodden brain to this question: when I lock my
bike, what in the NAME of JESUS SCATOPHAGUS am I supposed to do
with my helmet?  Leave it sitting on the seat for any drunken
Irishman just off the whisky freighter to carry off and make into
a potato tureen?  Not bloody likely.  Lock it to the bike?
He'll just piss on it instead.  We have a lot of Irish tramps
in Berkeley; we cut off their willies and sink them in the Bay,
but they keep coming back.

So instead I make the best of things and wear it as a hat, as
a gentleman should.  Got a problem with that, Paddy?  Something
to say about my taste in chapeaux?  Come west, young man, and
we'll teach you some manners.

Well, remember that the staking out of territory is an instinct common
in the lower animals (apologies to Gary Larson).

The prying eyes of humanity will get you no matter how well you hide!!!

But seriously, I noticed that around me, very few people bother to fence
off their yards unless they have little third-acre plots and are about
10 feet from the neighbors, or unless they have a pool.

Peeve: Even if we were to put 20-foot vertical walls around our pool, we'd
still be responsible for some brain-dead rugrat who scales it and 
subsequently drowns. Of course, the state can build large artificial
ponds without having to worry about fences...

Peeve: Decaying chain-link fences that couldn't keep anything out and
are just eyesores. Like a 10-yard long, three-foot high rusting fence
that is put between two adjacent parking lots but doesn't enclose
anything and therefore serves no useful purpose whatsoever.

Yes.  Big ones -- 16-inchers.  (For the benefit of the pacifistic and

It belongs to the South Dakota class, the series of battleships built just 
before the Iowa class, two of which fired many cruise missiles in support 
of Desert Storm.

Any American coastal city of any consequence has a tall ship of its own.
San Francisco has the Balclutha.  Honolulu has the Falls Of Clyde.  Sandy

ship, but is in close proximity to the Queen Mary, which counts for some-
thing, I suppose.

Oh, sure.  They have entire stores devoted to this shit.  My favorite is
the Barclay Religious Supply shop in lower Manhattan.  They have little
plastic footballs that say "Drop Kick Me Jesus Throught the Goal Posts
of Life."  Last time I was there, they had a little St. Peter medal in
the window and a sign that said "Can be had in many other saints, get
your favorites."

A few years ago, as a birthday present for a friend of mine, I invested
in an Erector set & a whole mess of religious figures from Barclay.  I
made a d-D tryptich of with Erector piece, put a swithc on one side (the
hand of God), an engine on the other (Good Works),a nd a cruxifiction
in the middle.  I hooked up a pulley, so that when the switch is thrown,
Jesus rises.  I painted tacky cherubs holding a flowing banner that
read "The Mechanical Ascension of Jesus Christ."  So you see, having
access to these things is NOT all bad.

ObPeeve:  People who think that my Jesus night light is an indication of
          a religious temperment.

Au contraire! Law school admissions are running 50-50 these days, with
some law schools reporting women in the majority.

Its clean work, no heavy lifting. Its just like classic women's work -
boring details, boring pencil pushing, boring filings, and boring
and pointless arguments. The money is damn good, however and you get
