And there was the time that I caused the main office of my high school to
be evacuated.  You see, it was directly above the chemistry lab where I
had just successfully made methyl mercaptan (sp? it's been a while).  For
those not chemically oriented, methyl mercaptan is listed in the Guinness
Book of World Records as the most evil smelling substance around.  I mean
really ... who could resist?

[ But the cleanup was something less than pleasant, however ... ]

I'm reposting this since I put out the first post during the holidays and 
forgot that everyone might be on vacation (except me, who's been working 
like a dog).  If you'd like to add your input to the database, please 
email me or post here.  The two questions were:
1) How many people did you date before you met the person you ended up 
with (hopefully permanently) and how old were you when you met?  People 
that you only dated once count in the total.  For you real studs and studettes just try for a reasonable estimate.
2) Approximately what percent of the people that you meet/date do you 
feel have real possibilities of being a potential permanent partner? 

I'll post the results in another week or so,
                  Larry

It turned out that the dodo-boinkers consisted of only Kiran, Michael,
Seth, Tom, and myself.  We did have an enjoyable get-together though.
Besides paying our respects to the dodo at the Peabody museum, we also
admired the gigantic slide rule in the dinosaur hall (really!) and
viewed something that was not a lemur femur.  My cats got thoroughly
confused from being introduced to so many new people at once.
(There's a reason why Slinky is also known as the cat of very little
brain, and poor Nerf is just a hopeless mama's boy.)  We also discovered
that Kiran's car isn't really big enough to fit five people.

BTW, Seth turns out to be a very nice person to have along when you
go out to eat pizza.  :-)

Slut is a gender-neutral pronoun. Therefore, dreas, you are not a "male

sorry 'bout getting the term wrong ('s been a while). while all the

actually, on some campuses, ballroom dance is having a revival. it's

have taken it in the last year & taught a little of it to those of us

I went to my favorite hangout again.

The show at the peeler bar was a good one, so I'll just
spare you good folks the details. </.)

In The Drummer's Lounge, the beat goes on. It would be most
unconscionable to spare anyone these details. </.)

Right, so I was shooting darts with my buddy, Dan.
He beat me one game by three darts, and I got him back
by one in the second. That's not all, sportsfans:

We sat down at the bar and Tracy got our beers to us.
There's a mirror behind the bar, which gives me an excellent
view of the entrance.

The ISObabe from the last two nights comes cruisin' in
with TheNewestGuyInTown. Some Adonis from Portugal!

dreas took stock of the situation by reasoning that he is
a slut and so is the ISObabe. I like than in a woman!!!

She smiled and said that her mother enjoyed the leftover
pizza. Great! She's a slut & she's my friend...

Such coolness demands equal helpings of coolness. The guy
who bought my Firebird's girlfriend offered to team up with
me and shoot doubles against Adonis & ISObabe.

We beat them silly while ISObabe was smelling the roses from
Adonis and Adonis was consistently missing the dartboard.

He was not exactly a straight shooter, I must admit.
We got kicked out at 2:30 because this is Victoria, after
all is said and done.

ISObabe somehow got me to take Adonis home, and she went off
on her way to only TheGoodLardJaesus knows where. Not only
is she a slut, but she's a bit of a tramp (rrrowrrrr!).

Methinks the lady is playing HardToGet, non? This little 
chase has got to be TheMostFunI'veHadInYears!!!!!

So Adonis keeps saying, "Thank You Sir," in this most polite
but thick as a brick Portuguese accent. I dropped him off and
got caught in one of TheSaanichPolice's RoadBlocks. As usual,
the reading was 0.06 instead of 0.08 or more, TheLegalLimit.

The evening ended well, all things concerned.

What's your problem?

It's a hell of a lot better than pretending to love someone when you
do't in order to get sex.

David was honest about what he wanted in the relationship and so was
she.  Unfortunately for David and this women, their expectations did
not match so they decided to stop seeing each other.

You may find this hard to believe, but it is quite possible to be
'fucking good friends'.

Of course, you do realize that with a typical car alarm, that little
box would end up holding a lot of money before too long.  In order
to prevent criminals from stealing it, you'd need to put an alarm

 Now I am really hurting. I've tried to share some of my most tender

enable everyone on this medium to feel a little empathy. But now I see it's
all been nothing but a joke. I've been poring out my soul while all you
people laughed at me. When I reached out no one was there. When I spoke
no one listened(except Ed). When I heard no one spoke(could a been the sixtys)
(or the ninetys). When I cried The mucous runneth over.
 
And now I must leave for a greener pasture for I must pursue a vision.
A vision of a women known only as shelley belly. I leave you in peace and
harmony.
 
I like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. Make apple trees and

Correct you are, Sir.  However, as with so many fine words, the original has
suffered erosion by slang.  If you were to use the proper version, chances
are that you would be greatly misunderstood since many people today choose  
not to employ correct grammar and pronunciation while exercising or
