It's more likely that the lack of originality derives from an inability
to come up with new and improved insults.  We *know* he's had exposure to
the true masters of derrogatory comments, but it doesn't seem to have
rubbed off.  A few of them inhabit Words-l space, but army sergeants have long

January 19, 1970 here.  According to everything I've read, that puts me
both in Generation X and the Thirteenth Generation.  In any event, I

>    Vick's VapoRub: what revolting product is this?

You're right...it is indeed revolting.  It is a lot like mentholatum.  The
consumer information on my jar (yes, I keep it in the house) says that it
is "an external vaporizing colds medicine that provides temporary relief
from nasal congestion and coughing due to colds.  Inhalation of the
VapoRub medicated vapors relieves these cold symptoms for hours, so you
can rest better."   My mother was (and still is) a firm believer in its
miraculous qualities, and as a child I frequently had to inhale the stuff
when I had a cold.  What was even worse, though, was the other use of it,
which seems to have been a pretty standard treatment for colds when I was
growing up.  If you had a cold, you would be sent to bed in your warm
little outing flannel pajamas.  Then your mother would rub Vicks on your
chest, button up the pajamas, and stick a hot water bottle on top...yuck!

>  >    Lum 'n' Abner land: what is
the reference?

Lum 'n' Abner were characters on a popular radio show (well, popular with
some people, my family included) of the 1930s and 1940s.  They had a
general store somewhere in Arkansas, so I would imagine the phrase refers
to Arkansas.

I deleted the BB reference by mistake...but BBs are small steel pellets
designed for a spring-propelled gun used mainly by children.  A BB is
roughly the size of the capital O in 12-point Courier type.

Yeah. i made a few.

Last night, when the marine got home from work (he's a chef remember)
i let him know that i made a few for him too, because i know how
busy he is, and all.

Be it resolved that: (these are my resolutions)

I will exersize two times a week at least. (or is that excorcize?)

I will eat only salad for lunch during the week

I will not eat any more donuts, or gooey breakfast treats.

I will not leave half full coke cans around the house for
the marine to spill on the carpet.

Here are the marine's resolutions:

I will not bug Jenna to have a baby

I will not leave the coffee filters in the sink to get old
and dry up and then fill the sink with coffee when Jenna is
trying to do the dishes.

I will not eat chips and salsa in bed.

^^and we made two joint resolutions which are as follows:^^

We will leave providence at the end of the spring semester and
move out west where there is a longer growing season and better
coffee.

We will buy at least one new compact disc a week so that we don't
become the people we make fun of who will only listen to music
from their own adolescence.

Just thought i would share. Take note that i do not resolve to
be a better person, or a nicer person, just a more healthy one.

Ruth:

I wondered whether CNN etc was indeed a bad place to get cultural information.
It is a limited place, of course, but it provides information of a sort [after
all it is 'read' by an American audience and so must reflect their perspective
to some extent.]

And so what is striking is that in the aftermath of 'disasters' here in Canada,
the Canadian news media opts to show stories of self sufficiency rather than
squeaky wheels. I wonder why.

The contrast between WEstern and American Samoa is so strong, I can only
conclude there is a more general dependence on govt in the US than in WEstern
Samoa.

this coupled with a fundamental distrust of Govt - ask a Canadian and they
will tell you politicians are stupid, ask an American and they are likely to
tell you politicians are crooks.

 Natalie, what a beautiful, and peaceful, memory.

 My memories do not include the milkman or the peddler with bushels of
peas to sell.  When I was under ten years of age we lived in the country
and my dad ranched and ran a grocery store, so we got our milk from the
store or at times from our cows.  An uncle had acres and acres that he
farmed and the roasting ears that he grew were the highlight of the season
for me.  Another delicacy that I remember from my childhood, but never see
anymore, was cashaw - a kind of squash I think.
 That same uncle would make freezers of peppermint ice cream that would
make a tsar beg.

 After we moved to the "city" my mom and dad again had a grocery store,
I have far more fond memories of that store than my parents did.  Like
taking advantage of an open campus for lunch and walking from the high
school to the store and being met with the enticing aroma of hamburgers
being cooked on the gas hotplate in the back.  Once a week I was even
allowed to invite a friend to lunch with me.  My mom worked the cash
register, my dad was the butcher, and a young man was the stocker-sacker.
I now have the butcher knife my dad used.  He never let anyone else use
that knife and he kept it in pristine condidtion.  My son saw me using it
last week and asked where I had gotten the machete.

 And all of these reminiscences from Natalie, Nancy, and me have stemmed
from the lowly black-eyed pea.  Incredible. :-\
