When my mother and my father went out on their first date, my dad (being

that it would never be possible for them to marry, because she was Irish
and he was Jewish.  I think maybe my mother took it as a challenge. :-)

As far as collage students goes, I wish somebody had told me about this years
ago, because if they had I'd be a father by now, guarunteed.  Here goes:

1.  Spend $500 on cloths.  
	I know this sounds shallow and surface, but stick with me a minute 
	while I explain.  You'll not only look better, you'll feel better 
	about yourself.  The expression "clothes make the man" is true.  
	It will	help you with that extra self-confidence you need.  Go shopping
	with a friend of the sex you want to attract if you don't think you
	have good taste :-)

2.  Join a club.  This set has two subsets:

	A.  Church.  Yeah, even if you are marginally religious.  Just go one
	    week, if you don't like what you see, don't go back.  OK, so you're 
	    less likely to find someone to hop in bed with, but if you're looking 
	    to build a long term relationship with someone nice this is an 
	    excellent place.

	B.  Campus student groups.  Join a few and BE ACTIVE.  Join a committe
	    and do volunteer work.  Show the world that you have a personality
	    and leadership skills, that you're competent and articulate.

     I can't emphasize this enough, especially to all you guys who (like me)
     spend your life in an engineering ghetto.  You'd be amazed how much
     easier it is to get a date when there isn't a 2000:1 guy to girl ratio :-)
     Get out to where the odds are more in your favor.

The above worked wonders for me--I haven't involuntarily spent a weekend 
since I started it.

No kidding.  Mine are slung below the ankle bone, and I would never *ever*
wear them with heels.  Hideous thought.  I usually wear mine barefoot,
which is my preferred dancing foot attire.  Of course, mine isn't the
little gold variety I think y'all are discussing, as I mentioned earlier. 
More like what you see in India.

If I must wear shoes with mine, they're usually sandals.  Flat ones.  So
next time you want to see "something stupid," come on over, Keithums.

It even works the other way around.  My first "date" with my current SO
was a flight around the area she grew up in.  (Hi Cathy!)

And she _claimed_ the pictures she took were destroyed by her friend's
child (playing with the film roll), so we just _had_ to do it again.

[ Of course, that next time, the shutter on her camera was "conveniently"
broken ... ]

Have to agree with Ed here: coverage of sports events is vastly better

 Now this shows a somewhat shall we say lacking in sensitivity statement.
Tryg (I can call him that cause we're sorta freends) has implied that
my sensitivity course or betterment course as I like to call it, would let
just any barhopping beer guzzeling slut attend one of my seminars.
 
 In fact I'm am very picky about just which barhopping beer guzzeling
sluts my partake of my nectar. I do have several openings in my April

Speaking of Indian Territory, my grandmother was born in Natchitosis, Louisiana
(and as she would have told it) on the reservation and on the river.  I this
Indian Territory?  Has anyone ever been there?  Her name was Martin and she
married an Adams from South Carolina.
 
For those who do not know Natchitosis is pronounced (Knock i tosh).  That's the
best I can describe the pronounciation.
