  This in response to the message by Cadet DiSavino, aka Howie-D, who now
steps forward as an actual human being, aka a person. I have no doubt that
all these kids could do this. Also, I imagine that these people may well
realize or come to realize that the buddy mystique of soldiering, and
the discipline mystique of soldiering, are the tricks of the trade, the
means by which they are made into what they are required to be. The
training of soldiers is a difficult matter, however you look at it.

Greetings,

A week hardly passes that some self-righteous, insecure wordslinger
doesn't get upset about something.  Who cares?  Post the results anyway;
at least they'll be entertaining.  Perhaps we'll even have a couple of
people threaten to signoff.

Thanks.  That was the point - I thought if Giggles was going to play

I am stillwondering how lame he must be if the most offensive category
he could come up with is "Dullest Life".

I was even toying with writing a letter about my own categories: "How
fucking dare you, you can't call me unpleasant if you have never met me."
But then I figured that my intricate laughter-of-Shiva sarcasm would be

I've got my eyes closed and my nose pressed up to the New Yorker,
trying to conjure up an image to fit the perfume. It's an older
woman's choice, I think, someone who thinks of herself as sophisticated
yet is thought of as rather vain by others. She gives a good Christmas
tip, but is really without true warmth.

As for the Calvin Klein ad for jeans--the boy strikes me as being
too young for such...intimacy. When I opened the magazine I saw that
ad and figured I was meant to be shocked at how young these two
were--figured that was the advertiser's aim, to shock me. (Of course,
in my heart of hearts I always think my undergraduate students are
too young and innocent really to be having sex, and since they never
mention it....)

Joshua Judges Ruth, with its reactionary, right-wing rhythms and its

country music back by at least a generation.  Besides, how can anyone
support a country singer-songwriter who isn't with the president
one hundred percent?  Lyle was conspicuous by his absence during the
Republican convention; if he were a real American, he'd be singing
covers of "Thousand points of light" and aping Lee Greenwood.  Just

No way.  Bring on Billy ray Cyrus to heal my achy breaky heart.

That he was going to publish it was absolutely clear from the beginning.
You had to oppose, side with, or react indifferently to it accordingly.

    I share your <love> of such <wonderous> <creations> as B. Dalton

Tattered Cover, a local independent, but not exactly small.  When a
near-by department store left its building, TC moved in and filled all
four floors.  It is run the way a book store should be.  Regular
signings and readings from local and national authors.  Chairs so that
one can browse the books.  An incredibly knowledgable staff with a
well-done computer system for tracking availibility.  Just make sure
you never let your checkbook/chargecard/wallet make the trip with you.
It would be a very expensive mistake.

Hi,

Got some weekend work to do, but first got quick FTP fix.  Couple of comments.

1.  about private flaming --- yes after a while that seems to do the best
    good ... speaking from experience ...and noticed afterward, a less-
    flaming, more tolerant attitude (mine of course :-))

2.  Don't buy junk.  Speedometer on my bike (leg powered, not motor) just
    turned to 1,000 miles and gears inside broke (well, it <did> take me
    a few years to accumulate that many miles) so bought replacement
    meter.  I am on my *fourth* one in two weeks ... the first three were
    all K-Mart/Sears, made in China/Taiwan, and all three failed for one
    reason or another.  I now have one, made in USA, cost double what
    others did, but appears to be far better constructed and may even
    work (just got it last night and haven't had time to install yet).
    So, guess it's a case of "you get what you pay for".

    Now, I need to get to work ... and on my own time :-(

                            Peace,
                                  Don

Marty, before you make a comment like that, check your facts carefully.
What information do you have to refute Buckley's claim?

The Germans and Belgians (anyone else?) have cameras attached to radar
gizmow.  You get the ticket in the mail.  They tried it in the Great State
of Texas for a while, but folks kept shooting the contraptions once it was
discovered where they were.
