It wasn't clear to me.  That, of course, is not anybody else's fault.
I guess I just wasn't blessed with a very capable brain.  I thought the
point was the part giggles published later -- the part Rashmi won.  That
part could have been done without announcing the answers to the questions.
As I've said before, I've never seen the tv show.  I wrongly assumed that
the game was innocent.

> What's the connection with G's sending his answers, anyway?

The connection is that Graham behaved in what I considered a tacky and
mean way by posting to the list his answers in the negative categories.
At that time I didn't realize that giggles was later going to announce
the "winners."

   I don't think so nut!  Let's see where, myself was accepted:
   UNC-Chapel Hill, Clemson University, NCSU, U.S. Air Force Academy,
   The Citadel.  Those are "real" colleges, I think.  Most of which
   you could never get into!  As for the "real" army, being enlisted
   doesn't tell me shit.  Having a Marine Corps Scholarship worth up
   to about $75,000, I don't think I will be an enlisted puke like you
   obviously were.  Not only will I get "enlisted" in the military but
   as an officer so shut your mouth NUT!!!

     Around here I have run into it on occassion, but not often.
Denver almost seems to have some unwritten rules about speed traps.
There are a (relatively) few places where the traps are set and the
people oblige by speeding by there.  Once I had learned where the
traps were, if I was in a hurry I took an alternate route.  The only
time I got nailed for speeding the guy on my right was passing me and
wasn't pulled over.  And I wasn't going anywhere near as fast as they
claimed.  Such is life.

No promises, though.  I didn't even notice last night that the nic.ddn.mil
info for VMI was last updated on 11 March 91.  The contact information may
be out of date.  I'm sure I can find an update if necessary.  Btw, I think
it's interesting that at that bastion of pseudo-testosterone the technical
and administrative contact is female.  Then again, there was always the boy
named Sue.  Maybe VMI has a boy named Alice.

You mean the "Honey, I Shrunk the Tits" ad in the front? There's not 35
spare IQ points between the two of them (the models, that is). Putting it
that close to your brain at night might have a <negative> effect.

That's called "deleting unread" and until now was regarded on this list as
my sole province. The truth will out!
