Why I thank you kind Elaine.  I am honored and humbled by this fine dis-
tinction.  Incidentally, not only did you typo on my first name (although,
I kind of like the idea of being Jenny Henny, running thru the net to tell 
Geoff the sky is falling), but you misspelled my last name as well.

Don't feel bad about it.  Noone ever gets it right.  As a matter of
fact the minister messed it up at my wedding.  He messed up my maiden
name, too.  They were mixing the drinks pretty strong.  Oh well.

Is is possilbe that I can maintain my usual position slouched over the
bar at Club Kaz?  I like it here, Whiskey Sours are always the drink
de jour, and the bartender gives me extra cherries.

For those who would like directions to Club Kaz:

Go to the closest bus stop and grub a pack of cigarettes (at least half
full) off a total stranger.  Pick up a case of LaBlatt's and a couple of
large bags of Pork Rinds, preferably the kind with pictures of the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles on them.  Go home and put on your loudest, tackiest
shirt.  You know, the one with the dried mustard in the pocket from the
time you got Chinese take-out in early 1988.  Now reach down to the bottom 
of your drawer fo those baggy gray pants you've been meaning to get dry-
cleaned.  They should be right next to the sticky back issues of "Shaved
Nymphos in Heat."  Now, very quickly, drink all the beer, eat all the
pork rinds, and smoke all the cigarettes.  Fall down two flights of stairs
and vomit to the left.  Welcome to Club Kaz, it's the palce with all the
purple neon.

That's where you'll find me.....

Jenny G

Besides, it'd be fun to watch for whoever was with you at the time.

Whenever I think of women going wee-wee outdoors, without benefit of
ground support equipment, I think of that story of the Cornell student
(female, one each) who tried to pee off a pedestrian bridge on campus
on her way home from a party one winter evening and ended up falling 
into a ravine, landing on a raccoon.  (They both survived, the raccoon
with a broken leg, and the student with a bruised ego.)  Read AFU; you'll
pick up lots o'stuff like this.  Makes great fodder for conversation at 
parties, and for freaking out your grandparents.

Now now <ObFingerWaggle>; "colored people" denotes people who are of color,
but are not specifically noticed as being colorful.

These colorful persons, to separate themselves from the "persons of color" 
call themselves "persons of darker color," or "darkies" for short.

Note: I have successfully resisted the enormous temptation to Geoffinate
my response here, and believe myself to be a better person for the
effort.

Alas, the Lord was taken from this sweet swingin' sphere in 1960, but
his popularity is on the rise again.  There are rumors (some of which
I had absolutely *no* hand in) that a film of Lord Buckley's life and
work is being plotted, with Robin Williams as LB.  Some of his material
has been reissued on CD and cassette, and I think Frank Zappa's "A
Most Immaculately Hip Aristrocrat" is still available.

I have heard Nolan Hinshaw recite paragraphs of classic Buckley without
error, and will defer to his greater knowledge on this topic.

On the Gold Coast, Queensland, Aus they have an interesting
outdoor profession called "Meter Maid".  I belive they stole the
idea from the US somewhere. (Probably California :-)  The jobs
are open only to loverly young women and the duties consist of
walking around the major streets inserting coins into parking
meters at random.  The uniform consists of very little. 
Definitely an antipeeve.

stop at a drive-thru to get a donut or two.  Later, I'll stop at the qwik-trip,

Who did I see?  Remember, you asked: Deep Purple, ELO (before they went

(3 times), Uriah Heep (3 times), Blue Oyster Cult, Three Dog Night, Rod

that I was in no shape to remember at the time.

Yeah, I didn't stand through three hours of the Allman Brothers last weekend.
When they did some bluesy stuff, I sat down, sipped my beer, and watched the

Haircuts can be used to ascertain how people view you. Throughout my time in
university, haircuts were something that I seldom did. When I did get one it
was almost always *extreme* (job, or something) from shoulder length or longer
to *short* cut. 

From doing this a few times I have noticed that very few people actually 
look carefully at anything around them. They look, and then develop a
mental image of a person, and that is stored away.

Some people see face shape, others see hair, or a beard or something. When
I would get a supercut...

Some people wouldn't recognized me. Their mental image of me had more to do
with "hair and beard" than my facial shape or mannerisms.

My best friends would notice, although oddly enough I think a couple weren't
exactly sure what was different for a few *minutes*. They "knew" me by my
voice, mannerisms, and so forth, and how I looked was of lesser importance.

There's a phd in this somewhere...

I noticed at the peevefest that you didn't have a beard.  Having never seen
you before, I wasn't sure about whether or not to ask the haircut question,
so I just let it ride.

Come to think of it, I was the only one present with any facial hair at all.
I just *might* have had the longest hair there, too.  Jenny's and Laura's
would be close.
