Living as I do in the happy town of Lesbianville, USA, I am sick to death
of gender neutral nouns!  I am damn proud to be a woman, and I don't in the
least mind labels that advertise that fact. Certainly, I've never presented
myself as gender-neutral on the net, and I don't intend to start now.

Then again, maybe it offends your sensibilities.  Funny, Andy, you never
struck me as a PC kinda guy, but then again, there's probably a lot of stuff
about you that I don't know.

So calling literate people illiterate makes you feel that your doing your
little part to keep the world clean?  And you have the gall (gaul for all
you asterix fans) to say that *I* am having trouble connecting with
reality.

Any time.  And certainly your strategy of insulting others to protect your
own self-image is an effective one.  Your ego *appears* to be strong and
resiliant.  Congratulations.  And perhaps with a little work you'll get to
the point where you can feel good about yourself without having to pick on
people like Scott & Mikey.    I'm rooting for you, honey :-)

Oooh, good line.  On thing I miss about New York is the preponderance
of transvestites.  Most of them DID shave.  However, for some reason,
short guys never seem to have the urge to cross-dress.  All the TVs I
know are over 6' tall (not to imply that ALL guys over 6' tall are
crossdressers).  So whenever I'd see a tall, skinny chick with a pro-
truding adam's apple.....

My favorite TV in New York, was this one guy I'd always see walking around
the NYU area (East Village, usually on Broadway between 8th street and 
Houston).  He was a double amputee - no arms.  But he always had a 
shoulder bag, and it never seemed to slip.   Also, his make-up was
always perfect, which puzzled me greatly.
