I'm still trying to decide which of us is luckier - you who are outside of
the inner circle begging to get in, or I, who has managed to beg my way in.
I'm not sure yet, but I can see the possibility that I might be begging my
way out any day now.[*]

(Of course, that might just be because I'm currently taking a poll in another
mailing list, and so my mailbox is getting pretty swamped these days - it's
almost as bad as when ``doc'' mailbombed me.)

Gee, Jo, didn't YOU used to be associated with .buffalo.edu?  Well, that's the
last time _I'll_ respect _your_ opinion on anything.

Here are some fun anagrams of Shane P. Faulkner I found (using this program
that I finally got around to writing):

-> Anal herpes funk
-> Arse plank fun, eh?
-> Frank hen-pus ale [mmm...gotta try some!]
-> Hank: snafu leper
-> Hark! Funnel peas!
-> Hen-arse funk pal
-> Hens run fake lap
-> Hearken! Plus fan! [but it should be "slash fan" in Mr. Faulkner's case]
-> Pure henna flask

and, the best of all:

-> Shane P. Faulkner: Hunks' penal fare [Bwa ha ha ha ha!]

This one's a bit contrived, but I thought it was appropriate for a.f.w:

-> Shane P. Faulkner: Perkens' hula fan [too bad he has no "i" in his name]

Lessee, we have Adolph the snail-nosed reindeer, walking through the
briar patch.  We have two phone numbers, two mail addresses (one e, 
one snail), and the requisite lat/long coords.  In addition, we have
HorizontalWaver VerticalGhosting PseudoSlant 12-point initials.

Alas, no border.

This .sig is DQ'd.

Sorry, I couldn't resist just one more tonight. This is a hefty beast, with
strong square borders, suggesting a soft, warm personality behind that cold
rigid .signature. Plus the Kirk quote is enough to prove to us, unequivocally,
that Doug really is sensitive despite all appearances. Other than that, it's
a great .sig.

And, Linus, I beat ya to it.
