I'll read just about anything once, but I love mysteries too.  Who's your
favorite author?  As far as the "anything" goes, stay away from Barbara
Cartland.  I read one of her books out of curiosity once, and thought "they
can't all be this bad, else how did she become so popular?"  Then I got three
more out of the library.  They *were* all that bad.<blech!>

I agree.  With everything Karen said/asked, I mean.  I wondered about all
that when I read Tushar's note last night or whenever it was but was for
some reason not in the mood to pursue tonguely matters at the moment.
I must have been engrossed in other things at the time.

I've not followed most of the discussion, but want to suggest that

I do not know if Tushar (or any other wordsler, for that matter) would
learn anything if he heard wordslers pronounce the list of words into
his answering machine -- either singly or in sentences.  Is the audio
quality good enough to learn anything?

Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

Here's the problem:  my toilet is running constantly.  I even know why.
The rubber thing (gasket?) around the bottom of the disk that lifts up
to allow water to go from the tank to the bowl is loose.  I have too
many other things to do to take my toilet apart now, so I turned the
water off.  Is that a problem? If I turn it on before I flush, and turn
it off after?  Just for a couple of days, till I have time to deal
w/ it?

This is a very simple toilet, btw, everything is visible.  Do you
think that I can go to the hardware store and say "I need another
one of these"?

Of course I haven't exactly figured out exactly how to get the disk-
thingy undone from the float, but I'm sure that will come if I have
time to mindmeld w/ the system.....

                        I GALAVANT

     My name is Rich and I am a galavanter.
     I know that this is what I am.  I am not ashamed.  I feel no
guilt, no regret.
     I know I galavant.  My mom says I galavant.  My dad says I
galavant.  If I'm not at home I can surely be found "out
galavanting about".

     Whence evil?

     My dad never galavanted.  My mom never galavanted.  My
grandparents certainly had better things to do than to be out
galavanting about.  My brother is a galavanter but then again he'd
jump off a bridge if I asked him to.  I know this for a fact.  I
asked him once.  He's okay now.

     Can I return these Ginsu knives?  This Didi 7?  Note to
myself:  Never buy anything except in stores.

     Question:  Can a galavanter ever amount to anything?
     Answer:  Yes.  A row of pins.
     Besides that?

     No ideas but in things.
     To define is to limit.
     Come up and see me sometime.

     To fully appreciate the word "galavant", we must first agree
on its spelling.  The most common spelling for the word is
"gallivant".  I don't like this spelling.  At all.  That 'i'
between the 'gall' and the 'vant' I find especially loathsome.  I
eschew that spelling, declare it anathema.  Galavanting is not
about "gall", it's about...
     If you just said 'gals' you're wrong.
     And if you said 'vants' you are also wrong.  And very silly. 
    Galavanting is about freedom if it is about anything.  The lure
of the road, the thrill of the chase.  It's about mobility, elbow-
room, about the exigency of time, and that song by
Steppenwolf. It's about Roger Miller and the lure of the open road
and Slim Whitman and Boxcar Willie about that Andrew Marvel poem 
'To His Coy Mistress'.

     'But at my back I always hear
      Time's Winged chariot hurrying near.'

     It's about time.

     To go.
     You know where I'll be.

	Yup.  That's about what I saw at ULowell.  I remember this
one little chickie with painted talons for fingernails who insisted
that it took her 3 hours to write one 3 or 4-sentence paragraph
that was loaded with errors.  And she was hardly the worst I got.

	And now our high school teachers on the list are going to
get defensive.  But hey, I was an A English student in high school
-- my first semester in honors English at UDelaware was quite a shock
(so *that's* what passive/active is!).  Actually, I was only a A
student in the traditional sense my senior year of high school --
I was kicked out of all my English classes before that and took
the courses in the Guidance Office.

     Sinsemilla is a very potent type of marijuana -- sticky,
     fragrant, and heady as incense.  It is very very nice, if you
     care for that sort of thing.  It can grow wherever it's not too
     cold; but the authorities would probably take a dim view of your
     raising a crop for Christmas presents.  Too bad, I say.

If he knew I was having so much fun in here he might very well say all of
that and more. :-)  He took early retirement in December so is out of the
workforce, but in the last few years had begun to use a computer at work,
fussing, ranting, raving, and blaspheming all the way.  When he finally
became proficient in the *tiny* area of computer use that was necessary
for his job people would walk by his office just to see him at the
computer. One day someone brought a camera and took a picture of him using it.
My computer is 100% mine and is in my study, which is in the back of the
house.  When he is in the house (he practically lives outside) he is
either in the den or in his study, which is on the other side of the
house. Trying to interest him in my computer and any applications that
might interest him was a total failure, sooooooo I can come back here and
have peace and quiet and privacy and mini-strokes from laughing so hard at
--ggs' posts.  And Ruth's.  And daddy ts'.   And .....
Doris (and now no one will *ever* ask what kind of man my SO is....)

No answers either.  But I did read that in human populations
there are about 5% who are homosexual in whatever population you
pick--e.g. 5% of Lithuanian trombone players are gay.  Causes
kind of a problem in the case of SFO, or Bloomington--with,btw,
highest USA per capita gay population outside of SFO by one set
of stats.

Brad clarifies:

   Agnes, I think this is a drug reference.  Some kind of Jamaican
   cannabis.  Never inhaled it myself.  Cf. the album by Black Uhuru,
   -Sensimillia- ca 1980:  "I've got a stalk of sensemilla blooming in
   my pocket."                  --brad

Oh.  Ignore my previous post...I'm only 416 messages behind...guess I'll
just read from now on.

Tiredly & testily,
