OS/2 has solitaire (though I like the Windows one better), Reversi, Chess,
Cat & Mouse (a silly thing you can set up with a little cat that follows
the mouse pointer around and occasionally scratches a flea), a jigsaw
puzzle, and one of those little 4x4 scramble puzzles.  Of course there
are many other OS/2 games out there on the Internet.

Of course you can still run your Windows games under OS/2 after you throw
away Windows.

We had a 1975 Alfa until our then 16-year-old son totaled it.
A friend of ours, who also had one, said that "alfa romeo" was

The card may say not for purposes of identification, but you need to
show it as identification when you fill out that immigration form (I

I knew it said that on the card, but my card is a kazillion years old.
I wonder if the new ones still say that?

No, the bug-eyed Sprites were gone by 1965.  Or rather they weren't being
made then -- there were still some old ones on the road.  Mine looked
exactly like an MG Midget.  Somebody (the dealer, I think) told me that
the only difference between a Sprite and an MG Midget was that the extra
cost of the MG Midget (around $200 extra) was for the wire wheels.

I don't think so.  I thought at the time that the impersonation was
too well-spelled to be Alec.  However it was particularly unintelligent,
which ought to be a clue, but unfortunately that doesn't really

     From what I've seen, they don't exist.  Most women online are either

_women_, if you know what I mean.

     What is the exact purpose if this forum anyway? Is it a place for
women to gather online, or is it a place for people to talk about women
being online?

     Correct me if I'm wrong, but less than 1% of the people online are
actual females, and only about one tenth of those I would actually
describe as women.  The rest are feminazis and bored obese

	Anyone who has your SS number can set up an alternative identity
with it.  This is apparently a popular scam among immigrants who want
welfare benefits even though they are not citizens -- they buy
identities for about $40 or so and then cash in on the benefits.

	I recommend you take your SS number off your driver's license
and have a number assigned when you next go to renew.

Natalie, guilty myself of same problem.  Two days ago, asked person in office
where full-service car wash was located, not one of these mini service station
car washes, as Bronco was desparately in need of a thorough washing.  Well, the
only big car wash I knew off went out of business a few years ago.  Well, they
tell me about this place, and I absolutely cannot recall it.  So when I found
it, three blocks from this University, I realize it has been there about 10
years and I have passed it about a 1,000 times.  I just never went there
before.  Maybe when a person drives they don't see the same things a
passenger sees ...so maybe you should let Bernard drive.  Oh, have real

When my daughter filled out the birth certificate information for her baby

be mailed to her in about four months...and if she *needed* it before

	Don't get out much, eh Doris?

	The 'amateur' athlete has been a myth for decades.  In its original
	Victorian concept, the amateur was a noble gentleman; even those
	plebian sorts who actually worked for a living weren't sufficiently
	'sporting.'  I refer you to 'Chariots of Fire,' where Harold
	Abrahams's unabashed desire to win the race, the fact that he hired a
	coach, and his nouveau-riche background shocked the British sports
	hierarchy (that he was also Jewish was so shocking that it wasn't even
	mentioned).

	Since the death of hide-bound Avery Brundage, the Olympics have been
	slowly coming around to the notion that it takes undivided attention
	and money to live on to excel at sports.  Each sport has handled the
	funding of its athletes in its own way.

	In most sports, the national and international governing bodies now
	permit athletes to draw from 'trust funds' into which their appearance
	fees and competition prizes are paid; track-and-field is a prime
	example.  Some sports now pay direct stipends -- that's why US
	swimmers can now continue to compete after finishing college.  In
	others (among them:  soccer, tennis, volleyball), avowed professionals
	are permitted to participate in the Olympics, though sometimes with
	special provisos (I think an Olympic tennis player has to be under age
	23 -- so Graf, Sabatini, the Sanchezes are OK, Navratilova isn't).

	As for basketball, the international organization opened the Olympics
	to professionals in the Olympics for the first time this year.  The
	international community *wanted* us to send the Dream Team, since it's
	actually a no-lose situation for everyone but the US -- if the DT
	crushes everyone, it's just Goliath beating up on a bunch of Davids.
	But if they lose, or even have a 'hailing distance' game, then the rest
	of the world says 'hey, these are the best they've got, and we did a
	pretty good job against them.'  And in 4 years, or 8 years, or whenever
	the US pro basketball all-stars lose an Olympic game, the rest of the
	world will laugh happily.

I discussed the terminology with a zoologist a couple of years ago when
this topic came up in my Intro to Linguistics class (after I mentioned
that I thought porpoises were probably laughing at us in porpoisese and
we then digressed to labels on tuna fish cans -- yes, people around here
always use the "fish" in that expression, except when talking about fresh
tuna).  I can't remember now the details of what the zoologist said except
that I *think* he said that in most people's ordinary use, "dolphin" and
"porpoise" were pretty much interchangeable terms.  The biologists will
probably be in the cafeteria today.  If so, I'll inquire again.  Since
I don't remember the details of what he said earlier, I don't know why
I'm responding now.  Except maybe to say that my house is covered with
redwood (painted yellow), that it doesn't smell like cabernet, and that
I'm not in favor of killing any trees and should therefore not live in
a wood-covered house of any kind.

Well, A. Bryant might pass Tipper's litmus test, but she is definitely not in
with the liberal crowd.  Or at least she wasn't when they last noticed her.

I remember part of a Tom Paxton song. The chorus went something like:

	You squeeze mine, Anita.
	I'll squeeze yours, Anita.
	You've been chosen, Anita.
	Yours are frozen, Anita.
	At terrible cost, Anita,
	They're covered in frost, Anita.
	Smile and pray, Anita,
	You'll feel gay.

(Brilliant lyrics, eh?)

And somewhere in one of the verses:

	If you don't believe in fairies, they won't believe in you...

I have it at home somewhere.  Hardly a fair trade for the Chocolate
Soldier, but maybe I'll mail it to you.
