I had something to do with computing there during those years.

   Many of us down here would be more than happy to send Mr. Potatoe Heade
up there to you guys, if you really want him. We could find Mulroney some desk
job in the Omaha INS office - that ought to keep him out of harm's way. Hey,

>And what are your ages? Are most of ya college types?

Male, 23, going on 24 in two days.  I look here because the odds of me finding
a mate are so small that I am trying to increase my odds.  Actually, I have
a girlfriend, I am pretty good looking and athletic and very nice.  However,
I am looking for a girl who is chaste, with an IQ over 150, pretty, happy,
and nice (and around 18-26).  I can find ANY set of combination of the above,
but not all at once.  Therefore, I date girls for a while, then sadly part
with them once I realize that it would never work out for a marriage.

Frankly, I am tired of this social dating bull.  I go to a bar/dance club/
workout room/grocery store/friends outing and meet some beautiful girl.
Yeah, I am so excited.  Then I start to date her, and things quickly get
bad- I want someone who can think of new things, be creative, who is
interested in life.  No one appears to be, they are just caught up in
the moment, using me as some sort of social appliance in front of their
friends.

Wierd, I don't get this world at all.  However, I know that out there is
someone who will be truly friendly, and then we can talk forever until
the dusky days of old age bring on senility, and then we can talk about
all the things again, for one more go round.  And even if I never find them,
life is pretty good lots of the time, and I'll get some pets to play
with.

              I am 32 ,and as a field engineer with an Oil Co, I have spent

    cherish fond memories of these stays,and would like to share/exchange them. 
              Presently I am working on a research project at Stanford Univer-

    practicing Karate and I love reading William Wordsworth whenever I can.
              So write to me, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

hey, people! in our campus newspaper, there's an ad that runs in the
personals section. it looks like this:

	Nice, Ordinary, established lower-class man, 43,
	seeks small, sweet, nice, white, perfect 19 year old
	girl to make love with.  Sorry, I only want the best
	year of your life.  Freddy 868-0153.

sometimes there is a variation on the "perfection" bit involving mammary
glands, too.

"freddy" is a campus legend (via the paper). nobody has seen him, and
stories have been developed about him on every range of the spectrum -
everything from "He's a psychology experiment" to "He's a fraternity
prank". however, it's finally been debunked.

a message from a friend of mine:

Everyone's favourite Freddy is Freddy Baluch, a mail carrier at the Fort
Washington Post Office.  That's right... Freddy is a mailman. 

How do I know this? My mom works with him...

One of Mom's friends let her in on the fact that Freddy was putting ads in the
Diamondback... when she told me she knew a guy named Freddy who put personal ads
in the Diamondback, I almost died...

My mom is starting a corny letter writing campaign as a practical joke. She is
trying to get as many people as she can to mail him with hot, corny love letters
from "small, sweet, nice, white, perfect, 19 year olds"
	Heh heh!

Send all stupid love letters (guys can do this too...  some flowery writing...
	a little perfume) anonymously to:

			Freddy Balluch
			c/o Fort Washington P. O.
			11550 Livingston Road
			Fort Washington, Maryland 20744

anyway... if y'all wanna give a hand, mail to this dude.

When our system here picked up the soc.penpals groups, I read it because of
its uniqueness. Instead, I read bogus messages, bogus replies, people
posting penpal messages under false pretenses, etc ...

There was a time when you could take everything someone said at face value ...
I sure do miss that. Now, you have to analyze everything, to see if it's
genuine, or a ploy to get you to do something.

Why is honesty such a hard commodity these days? Where did it go? Why is
living behind a facade better than being yourself?

Hey Peoples,

Since this IS soc.penpals, why don't we share some of our penpal experiences
with the rest of the world? You know, talk about where you have penpals, what
they do, etc.

I guess I'll start off with mine. I only have ONE penpal I write letters to
on paper, via U.S. mail. I'm not talking about e-mail penpals...

Anyways, her name is Inna and she lives in St. Petersburg, Russia. She works
as a commercial traveller for a manufacturer. We've been penpals for 1 1/2
years. Back when Russia was still part of the Soviet Union, our letters would
take quite a while to get to each other, usually months. I suspect it was
because their post-office checked all mail from the U.S., but that's only a
suspicion, not fact. Now, the letters take about 12 days to get there, so we
usually get one a month. She tells me about the White Nights in St. Petersburg
and all the cathedrals and museums and everything else there. It makes me want
to go there and see it all for myself. Of course, I'm not too sure about going
to Russia right now, when the country is still in somewhat chaos. Inna told me
that prices for food have gone up 1000%, tuition for schools 500%, costs for
clothes/goods 700%, and the average salary - 300%. So you can see that even
though there are more food and goods on the store shelves, not many people can
afford them!

Well, I hope to see y'all posting your pen-pal experiences on here, or if
y'all are shy, you can e-mail me. :)

This kind of thing is common when sports teams in different cities are

The honest get taken advantage of by the dishonest. If the honest want to
survive in this world, they too need to become dishonest. An example is
when steriods came on the scene in atheletics. How do you feel when you
study hard to get a B, and someones cheats and got an A? By no means am
I trying to rationalize dishonesty, just why it exists.

If you don't have a life, make one up! :-)

>Show of hands, please ... are there any honest people left?

There are two types of lying. Lying by commission, and lying by ommission.

Where does white lies (tactfulness) end?

Ah, philosophy!
