Greetings, abh,

Well done!  I can sense the struggle, but hints of your former giantness
shimmer like the sequins in Porter Waggoner's sports coats.  I was not on the
list in 1989.  I am rapidly approaching my first anniversary.  The illustrious
Neal told me about this list last October when I visited him during the
National League Championship Series, forever transforming this sterile
promontory, this bitnet, into a veritable electronic cornucopia of
wit and wisdom.

It's OK, Anne. Anyone could have been fooled. Let's forget the fact that

Hey, I'm not livid.  Bad for my blood pressure, y'know.  Kinda sad,

     Raw carrots are great, the flavor of carrots cooked into a pot
roast is just fine, carrot cake is delicious, but when those
vegitables are cooked and become soft, their consistency going down my
throat makes me gag.  So I don't eat them.  As for lobster, for some
reason it gives me gastric distress for a couple of hours after
ingestion, so I avoid it as well.  As for cooking carrots very
lightly, I think that holds true for most vegitables that are boiled.
Actually, most should be steamed, not boiled.  I don't recall having
tried steaming carrots.  A kitchen.  A kitchen.  I must get to a
kitchen.

But if you think I hugely enjoyed being voted most unpleasant and most

have never sided with this silly game at all. I was merely indifferent
to it. Another thread, another hog, that's list life. Substitute it for

face human communications and you have got yourself into a first class
farce.

If you just keep in mind that this reflects the impressions gathered
from list postings you wouldn't be so enraged. I thought the issue
of list persona vs real life had gone on enough for that to sink in.

Dullest life? Jesus Christ, I got voted for Most Unpleasant and Most

May I add to this impressive layer-peeling the motive of "voicing an

Why is that the "worst in people"?

I just wrote Emily and told her that I didn't remember declaring war

I think everywhere the practice causes marital difficulties from time to
time--I think they enclose the picture--who was that guy in the car, dear?
Or, I thought you said you were at the office, pumpkin.

    -abh,

     I don't know about December, but I will be going to Las Vegas
     this coming week-end.  If you need any information about
     hotels or shows, I'll be happy to get the info for you while I'm
     there(sometimes showtime information is very hard to come by).
     Also, I have 800 numbers for almost all the hotels if you need
     them.  Where are you? Geographically, I mean -- have to watch
     what you say around here.  If you need some info, just send me
     your -- what do they say(?) snail-mail address & I'll forward
     a showtime schedule, etc. to you.
