I remember reading that when the Pope came to the U.S. on his much-hyped
visit a few years ago, one of his stops was the University of Arizona (or
Arizona State, I forget which), whose mascot is the Sun Devils.  The
University painted over the Sun Devil name and logo on the stadium walls
for the papal visit.  And this is a secular college!

Too bad I wasn't in charge:  "This is our mascot, you mackeral-snapping

My main peeves are death and ill-health, mine and others'.

However, there is the second to major peeve - noise interfering with
sleep.

There are the usual urban noises that one must live with and I can do
that. Rural noises drive me nuts. I hear something scratching next to
the tent/window, my eyes pop open and my hand is on the MagLite (heavy
batonlike flashlight). I hear a hooty owl and I am up. I hear footfalls
and I am up. I hear a firetruck and I doze right through it. Its rather
like the character Vinnie Gambino in "My Cousin Vinnie".

There is a new noise. I had all these cats. Then some of them lived
elsewhere. One by one, they were returned to me. One pair used to be
buddies and forgot each other. They avoided each other or the smaller
one would expand and hiss when she saw the Big Guy.  Well, they decided
they are buddies again and there is this ungodly noise.

Ginger goes up to Fred first thing in the morning, sniffs his face
and decides he smells dirty. Then its

lick...sniff....lick....sniff...lick...lick...licklicklick
(purr  purr purr purpurpurpurpurpurpurpurpurpurpuruprrrrrrrr)
licklicklick

etc.

It sounds kinky, but it really looks like something out of a mawkish
Hallmark "Friendship" card, which keeps me from grabbing my 3 foot
crowbar ("Girlfriend") and beating their little heads in.

Sheesh. I'm peeved that at what is being called a Debate. What I remember
as a debate involves some profound statement or premise, e.g. "Government
should tax organized religion" or such, with two opposing speakers or 
teams to defend/refute the clause.

It absolutely DOESN'T involve a sawed off billionaire with big ears launching
folksy zingers at an Arkansas governor who had surrounded himself with a

According to my husband, who ate whalemeat as a child but is in no
particular hurry to do it again, the most common ways of cooking it
are frying and stewing.  Seems to me the stewing leaves more room for 
creativity - preferably with other foods which have been deemed too
"cute" to eat.  Take a big pot out and have a picnic the next time

Peeve: Cloudberries, or rather rabid cloudberry fans.  I have tried
them in several desserts now, and i haven't particularly liked any of
them.  But there are still some people who insist "Try _my_ dessert.
This is how cloudberries are supposed to taste."  And of course they
all taste essentially the same....

I once calculated the complete taxes paid on my paycheck.  As I'm a
part owner in the business I could factor in the business taxes and
everything, the the final tally was something like 68% of the money
paid to me in paycheck was taxed away.  The calculation went something
like this:

Corporate:

7.5% employer FICA (Social Security Tax)
.75 % employer FUTA
xx% unemployment taxes

Personal:

33% federal taxes (I think it's at 31% now)
9% state taxes
7.5% FICA
1.5% Medicare
misc other taxes at 2-3%

Add to this the corporate taxes of 26% and you've got a pretty serious
tax payment.  After all that I get to buy gasoline with a $.17 tax,
pay for local goods and services with 6% gross receipts tax (on my
taxed paycheck) and you can see how little is really take home pay.

I'd support something in a "flat" tax...

Interesting to note, though, that while the likes of the BBC seem fairly
unbiased on Bush vs Clinton, they've really got it in for Perot. Discussion
of him seems to be surrounded by an "Is any American really *stupid* enough

	Yes, we got it.  We all got it.  Unlike you, we didn't feel so smug
about it that we felt it was necessary to tell the whole of Peevetown that
we were so intelligent we could understand a simple pun.

	While I'm posting.  And peeved.  I think I'll try and insult a few
more people.  We'll do this one by nationalities. (Recycled from my dad).

	When you tell an Englishman a joke, he laughs three times.  Once,
when you tell the joke; again, when you explain it; and a third time when he
understands it.
	When you tell a German a joke, he laughs twice.  Once, when you tell
it and again when you explain it; but he never understands it.
	An American laughs when you tell a joke, but he won't let you explain
it and wouldn't understand it if you did.
