Yes, let's just say she is terribly excited...  talk about
understatments!!

Anyway, I am one of the many Paul's we have floating around here.  I
am better know in these here parts as 'Rip'.  Don't ask, it is along
story!  I am around the Portland, OR area.  32, divoriced, loving
life, and all my friends here in ARC.  I have the honor of being the
Partiarch of the infamous fighting Sibs of the ARCFamily, that ever
increasing grope, (damn...group) of ne'rdowells who have been
trapesing through ARC, causing mayhem were ever we go...

Oh, yeah, I am also half of the official palanquin bearers for the
RFA secretaries, the other half has been quite for along time...

Welcome to Dan, and all you other unlurking lurkers out there!

	8 months ago, maybe?  Hm.  Let's say that I picked this one
up, and I would have to answer that it would be no worse than now.
Call it a feeling... call it a thought... Let's get together sometime
soon and play that music!  (Oh, and you can take some time out to show
me the ARC video.  I STILL haven't seen it.)  :)

	Life pulls some strange tricks on people sometimes, and I
think that the chat part was one of the strangest.  (Here I go being
mooshy again... but)  I think that everyone I met gave something to me
I never had: self-confidence.  Self-assurance that I would be able to
fit in with some style of group, and keep my position there.

	Question to all those who were at the Chat in Bloomington:
What was it that happened in the kitchen which made a lot of us laugh
late Sunday night?  It was Richard, LF, Lisa, another person I can't
remember at this time and me.  Wasn't there five of us?  It was as we
sat by the table.  Something happened, and people from the other room
kept asking what was so funny.  I CAN'T REMEMBER!!!  And I know it was
something I thought I would never forget!  Please help me!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me out?  I need some names and phone
numbers of florists in New York City (Manhatten).  I'm dating a girl who works
in Manhatten and wanted to send her some roses for her birthday.  I've sent
them from here (Baltimore) and they were a little expensive to be sending 
all the time.  I'd like to send her flowers every once in a while besides on
her birthday.  Could someone PLEASE provide me with a list of decent florists
in the Manhatten area?  I'd also be real interested in Baloons over America or
such places like that as well.  Should it be cheaper to send flowers directly 
from New York instead of here in Baltimore?  I'll be looking to hear from you.

Ummm...  Hi everyone.  I've been lurking for a while, and this seems
like a good time as any to UnLurk myself....

My name is Deeran.  I'm a 3rd year CompSci/Accounting (what fun!) student
at Monash Uni (in the LandDownUnder!).  This isn't my first post to this
group, I hope it's not my last, either.

I used to walk the highways of life alone, but recently I've been joined
by a fellow traveller.  It's real nice to have some company again.... *grin*

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- you guys are the friendliest
people on the net.

Keep the faith, my friends.

Fie, Tone.  There are many tests related to romance (including the
Test of Contagion that you allude to), a few of which are listed
herein (and as always, the Reader is hereby warned to expect half of
my tongue in cheek, and the other half midway down my gullet):

1) The Test of Compatibility.  ProspectivePartners fill out mile-long
forms asking absurd, odiferous and VERY personal questions.
Objective: To achieve maximum coherence of mutual disinformation.

2) The Test of Copulatability.  ProspectivePartners have at it.
Objective: To achieve maximum coherence of mutual climaxes.

3) The Test of Carnality.  ProspectivePartners join the
BlueFilmOfTheMonthClub.  Objective: To achieve maximum coherence of
mutual fantasies.

4) The Test of Cojones[*] (males only).  FemaleProspectivePartner
offers MaleProspectivePartner a GoodSolidKickInTheGroin.  Objective:
To achieve maximum coherence of mutual moaning.

[*] According to Marcos Donnelly, author of "The Resurrection of
Alonso Quijana", cojones are "both the symbol of male strength, and
physiologically his greatest vulnerability".  The above-mentioned work
is a fantasmic addendum to Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's most famous
work, "El ingenioso hildalgo don Quijote de la Mancha".
