Jeez, you've made me feel guilty for bobbing off my pony tail and

Be careful, indeed.  NPR reports that we have massed our carriers in
the Persian Gulf, and the Air Force is ready to go.  Rule One of the
theater is that you don't have a gun onstage unless someone uses it
before the play is over, right?  Once into that shit last year, if
Bush had allowed Schwarzkopt to finish it instead of just being
content to score political points, we would not be here now.
I'm looking at my 14 year old kid, wondering how many times we

Alec, when it rains in a Miata, you get wet.  But I'm no longer a devotee of
front-wheel drive cars:  if you have to brake and dodge at the same time,
they are no good.  I tried it in an 84 Camry and wished I hadn't.

If the road is wet, you keep a light foot, whatever kind of car you are
driving.  And I doubt if  a Miata can spin the rear wheels, except from a
standing start or nearly so.

Just because i think you all are on crack for enjoying cookies from
a chain sannwish shop doesn't mean i like you any less.

But, its like saying, "the best cheeseburger i ever had in the whole
world was from McDonalds."  which i find to be kinda scary.

Last year, when RI Monthly did their Best Of... series, the Best
Pizza in RI (a mostly Eyetalian state, mind you, with plenty of Greeks)
was voted to Dominos.  out of all the Pizza in the entire state, and
there is some GREAT pizza here, the peons chose Dominos. which isn't
even inherently RI.

And speaking of catering to the lowest common denominator,.....

Should i move to a bad neighborhood, even though we have a big
apartment and it costs less, but we would compromise our
safety, or should we stay on the proper side of town, where a three
room hovel will run us ~$500, but we can walk to work?  There are also
fewer crack dealers on the Proper Side Of Town....

any and all advise gladly noted.

	It would be cynical, of course, to even *think* that maybe George would
	be working on a plan to finish off his friend Saddam close enough (but
	not <too> close) to Election Day.

	Of course that would be cynical and cold-blooded, so I won't consider

Speaking of scanners, Judith has a very Indian face. Might

Jenna looks exactly like a cousin of mine. The Lob resembles
a friend I had in college. Tony reminds me of a worker for a
CSICOP-like organization in Bombay. Nico looks a bit like one
of my family's neighbours.

No one else rang a bell.

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

One of the replacements (post divorce) that I want to treat myself to
this year is an excellent dictionary. What would you recommend?

The boxed double volume with a rectangular magnifying glass in a little
drawer would be my first choice. Has anyone seen those lately?

If I also want something as an occasional scrabble reference should I
get a seperate book.

Any binding thoughts appreciated, too.

Rumors abound that George Bush is being pressured to drop Quayle.
 It seems unlikely that he would, but in the climate of the
possibility, I offer the following quotes for the collective
amusement:

        "The Vice Presidency is not a stepping stone to
         anything but oblivion" -T. Roosevelt

         "His Superfluous Excellency" -B. Franklin, when asked
          to suggest a form of address for the Vice President

         " A mere mechanical tool to wind up the clocks" -J Adams

         " I do not choose to be buried until I am really dead"
           -Daniel Webster , on refusing the V P nomination

         " Worst damn-fool mistake I ever made." -John Nance Garner

     There are more !
