Basic monthly charge of $12.60.  I pay an additional 7.05 for three-way
calling, call forwarding, and touch tone service.  Caller ID blocking
is free.  So my total bill is 20.65/month plus 1.45 federal and 1.65
provincial tax for a grand total of 23.75.  All C$, of course.

This provides flat rate calling (unlimited time and unlimited calls)
to somewhat over 2.3 million lines in the Toronto area.  Installation
is around $50 in most cases.  Typically it can be scheduled in a
couple of days.

Thank you for that intelligence, Marty.  Somebody I met at the Inland

name.  Now I have the name.  Next, I've got to create a pretext to
mine the stacks at the U of I libraries.

Why should he when Paglia has so much fun doing it? 

I also doubt that bwp would follow Paglia in saying that she's sick of
hearing about domestic violence, that date-rape is simply a product of
feminism, that women provoke rape, and the countless other absurd
claims she makes on the basis of generalized assumptions....I suspect
Adam's point about contradictions is that bwp's views expressed in this
group are quite different than Paglia's views (or her persona). 

Paglia is considered to be a strident anti-feminist.

Subject:      Red Line Story
Comments: To: WORDS-L@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU

The Red Line is that part of the MBTA that runs from Braintree,
southeast of Boston, through Quincy, Dorchester, Boston. It comes
above ground to cross the Charles River, then plunges beneath
Cambridge, and ends at Alewife Station on the Cambridge-Arlington
border. (Named after Alewife Brook. The alewife is a kind of
baitfish. I have no idea what its name has to do with ale or wives.)
Red Line trains are, as Tony points out, quite noisy, especially
the older ones with the red bench seats and air vents that go
along the length of the outside roof.

Anyway, Diane works dayside as the assistant manager of a shop
in Braintree, and Karen, the co-assistant manager, gets off work
around 11 pm. When she takes the Red Line home, she is usually
the only passenger, so it wasn't long before Karen and the guys
who run the train became friendly. The other night the engineer
invited her up front. "Come on in here," he said. "It's much
better." So she rode in the engineer's cab all the way to her
stop. He even let her drive! As she left, the engineer asked
if she would be taking the same train the next night. "Sure,"
Karen said. "Well," he said, "be ready to go to Alewife.
The tunnels are really neat out there!"

When Diane told me this, I was reminded of that old song about
romance on public transportation that goes "Clang, clang, clang
went the trolley, ding, ding, dong went the bell." But alas,
the recent storm prevented Karen from keeping her rendez-vous,
so I don't know yet if the story has a happy ending.

No - standard policy in our Linguistics dept.... they understand that the actual
linguistic capabilities of students become screwed when exposed to the stress
of examinations. That's why the final exams only count for 15% of the actual
grade given to students in first year and there are no examinations in
subsequent years.

        What is a bathing machine?  Why do I think that you are destroying
        all my fantasies deliberately?

You should read more Lewis Carroll :-)

But the question, Tushar, was about *boxes*.  You need to reanalyze the
matter, comparing boxes and jugs.  Meanwhile, I easily stored 20 liters of
boxed wine on one small refrigerator shelf.  Could I have done that with
jugs or bottles?

Close.  It was an internal distribution list, and NOT "public"...  And your
recollection must have me confused with some other tall, wavy-haired, good-
looking stud, as I sat out the damn preparationH debacle with the expression
of a stunned mullet.  Graham, this is beginning to remind me of the story of
the two men in a balloon...  8-(
