Now, now, now - you, too, could be hit by a car tomorrow, or have a stroke,

deprived of oxygen for 5+ minutes or so, and you would be mentally
indistinguishable from those you so callously call "mentally retarded".

Try some sort of bronchial dilator, like BronchAid Mist.  That should help
loosen up the cloying wad of phlegm, so you can expel it (hopefully at a
really tasteless time, that you can post again later).  Me, I've been living

	Yesterday, I mentioned to one of my room mates that Thurgood Marshall
had died. The reaction I was expecting from him was "Oh, really? I didn't know
that." This is the guy that walked into the room, during the news, in the
middle of January and asked "When did we invade Somalia and where is that?"
His reactions of "Who?" was far more startling than expected.

Well, there was this blonde in tight blue jeans standing on a trailer across
the way whom JZ and I were ogling quite openly, and...oh, you mean *car-type* 
stuff.

Well, seeing as how my SCCA membership has temporarily lapsed, I couldn't
work in the hot pits; I spent the whole time in the paddock doing general-
type work, changing tires and wheels, putting cars on trailers, moving
various objects around and insulting Andy Banta.  Also, we had a bottle
of helium and a bag of balloons, which we filled with the gas and released
at random intervals for no apparent reason besides our own amusement.
Team FizzBall has an undserved reputation for weirdness..  

Anyway, it wasn't a real race weekend, just drivers' school.  We had a 
couple of people driving, one of whom was alt.peeves' own Jack Poller.
His Triumph Spitfire broke down for undetermined reasons, so he switched
to a teammate's MGB and did very well; I understand that his best lap 
record was better than the car's former owner's best time in an actual 
race.

>what would pushup the Neilsen (sp?) ratings!

Ever since I was I was a young boy and cars had large fins I've wondered
about the mentality of people who write "(sp?)" after words they may or
may not have spelled incorrectly.

The most annoying thing is that the (sp?) looks a lot like those (sp) marks
that elementary-school teachers used to write on essays when you spelled
something wrong. Reading *anything* with a reminder of those (thankfully)
bygone years is a peeve. Imagine how disconcerting it would be to get
the dissertation back from your defense committee with those red curls that
mean "correct" all over it. Wouldn't it be lame beyond compare to get that
paper back from the editorial board with a "good job" sticker on it? Sheesh.

So what are these (sp?) people *thinking*!?! Perhaps (a) they're trying
to be teachers' pet butt slurpies. I can just imagine them sucking up to
teach now saying "Well I might have spelled it wrong, so I saved you the
effort of making the (sp) mark <snork> <snork>." Perhaps (b) they're
trying to save face by swaggering "Well maybe the word is spelled wrong
and maybe it isn't, but at least I'm studly enough to admit that I'm
wrong. Maybe. <hitch up pants> <wiggle shoulders>."

Jesus, that punctures my scrotum with a pool cue! If you're gonna spell
something wrong, at least have the androgens to do it without slapping
an apologetic (sp?) on it. Maybe people will think it's a typing error.
But merely adding (sp?) draws attention to your potential fuckup. Might
as well put a disclaimer in your .sig saying "Certain words above may
be spelled incorrectly. Although I am aware of this, I am too busy
teaching the cat to lick my genitals without biting them to look them up."

Peeve: Being too busy to post to a.p few weeks. (And, no, it has nothing
to do with a cat.)

BoneUsPeeve: Not being able to post *why*.  (Geoff knows.)

Peeve:  My late class is at 7:55pm.  This is quite a sucky time and kinda
