Easy.  Get your pilot's licence, buy an airplane, and fly out there various
weeknights and weekends.  Even with a small plane, it's only about 2 hours.

That's one nice thing about being an amateur radio operator.  Most 
states let you put your callsign on your plates at no (or little) 
extra charge.  And we do have certain frequencies just for calling 
each other.

The most recent theories I've run into is that Cro-Mangon (i.e. 'modern')
man developed from Nethanderal stock, and the changes were 2 - better
vocal mechanism (it has been sugguested that Nethanderals used sign
lnaguage as supplements to their limited vocal range) and a large increase
in abstract reasoning capacity.

The *physical* evidence is simply that the tool finds get enormously more
complex; the nethanderals may have had prepared-core tool technology, but
didn't do as much with it.

Then there's the recent anthropology that notes how *bad* the 'alpha male'
baboon anology is for discussing humans, and how *good* the chimp 'bluff
and first impression' social dynamic is.

I thought you had been around long enough to know the answer to that
question... 

I expect it means 'not married' since many if not all of the people
here seem to have relationships.  (Hmm, I wonder--how many single
folks _are_ there on the group these days?  (I define 'single' as 'not
involved with someone who is being considered as a long-term prospect.'))

>Is there an assumption that all single people want to be not single?

Well, there seems to be an assumption that wanting to be not-single is
in some way pathological.  :-)

>someone to have a relationship with and want to do so by having

Well, if you are in fact single and participate, it probably means you
are looking for a relationship.  

But I doubt very much it means you want to "have a relationship with"
someone by "having them send you email."

Next qustion.

Actually, he was assassinated to fulfill historical destiny.  You see, America

   Kitty's little recipes look amazingly tasty. I am the world's worst baker.

This is no problem, however: Nanaimo bars are terribly popular here in Vicky.
They went really well with our Thanksgiving dinner on Monday. They were bought
in the nearest supermarket, freshly shipped from a great bakery in Nanaimo.

A note of caution: One innocent little Nanaimo Bar has two potential
side affects when followed by another innocent Nanaimo Bar. No.1 goes
down fine but gets kinda hard to chew towards the end. It can be washed 
down with any convenient beverage(don't use beer.) Due to the Nanaimo
Bar's inherent rich character, the second one cannot be eaten completely 
without severe difficulties. The second side effect will be made clear
to all dieters converted to a diet of Nanaimo Bars.

The Boink has been invoking some enthusiasm, and I'll be sure to give
occasional updates as the date gets set and comes closer.

Well, you did ask.

I always wonder when I see these "I'm trying to be a jerk so I can attract
more women" posts: just what sort of women do you think you're going to
attract??  

Maybe you should try cultivating some patience instead.  Sometimes you
have to wait for the good stuff.  Life's like that.

See answer to scenario 5.

> 5) Nobody noticed, since I was with little 'e' and I had absorbed
>    her mysterious "I'm invisible" aura.  (the Kreskin Prospect)

I was invisible but you weren't.  Thus people were greatly confused whenever
you spoke to me.

> 7) My long t-shirt saved the day by keeping my favorite color
>    a secret. (the Serendipitous Fashion Statement)

Your favorite color and telephone number are now written on the wall of
both the women's and men's bathroom at the restaurant.  It say's "for a 
good time and hot pair of underwear, call (number deleted)..."


Just me,

little 'e'

He: Come here, look! (laying on the bed and waving the MacWeek enticingly 
before my eyes)
Me: Is it the new one?  What's in it? (I ask full of interest)
He: Oops!  It fell. (takes me in his arms and drops the magazine on the floor)
He: Boy!  The ploys you have to use to get these geeks! (smile)
