The question that must be asked is: "Are you still a 'nice guy' if you
don't think you can get something out of it?"

Oh so you are running out on me just when things are getting
interesting. Do you think things would be better if we didn't have an
audience? Why don't we retire to my place? I have a nice large bedroom
and lots of interesting equipment. What d'ya say? Are you game?

::Andy scans for a target who can't defend himself:: It was BLADE what 
did it!  Reallly!  When he first introduced Evie, he tagged her the 
Bladette.  Me, I didn't even know his sister had posted as Bladette.
So, Evie is a clone of Blade and I had nothing at all to do with it.

Huh? Lee has an excessive contrast? How come I didn't notice that when

That was just a choice of words.  We both agreed that we'll be using the term
"Husband and Wife"  as opposed to "Man and Wife."   Don't worry, Jason.  
Steven knows and accepts that I want my own identity.  Even though we're

Wait, I thought you didn't like names with... what was it?  Dingy nicknames? 
:)

Anyway... this raises a pretty entertaining question, which perhaps not-so-
coincidentally refers to not only "When Harry Met Sally", but last nights
rerun episode of "Northern Exposure":  What's in a name?  As Harry Burns
pointed out, you can't have great sex with someone named Sheldon (my apologies
to anyone reading this group who is named, or who has had great sex with
someone named Sheldon).  So, what makes a name sexy?  I, for one, -would- find
the name Catherine sexy, just because I think Catherine Deneuve is one of the
most beautiful women ever.  Do you find yourself associating names with other
things, and that affects your opinion?  Or (and this is a fairly facetious
question), do you find yourself meeting someone, thinking about moaning
his/her name in bed ("Ride me, Sheldon!"), and if it doesn't work, you drop
any interest?  *grin*

An Endlightening contribution from those nice clones at uunet:

}through life.. which isn't to say, "Stay under a rock and don't do anything.",
}but so many of us "NEED" this that or the other thing and we "NEED" it NOW...
}Or at least we think we do...

}Now's the time to take the time...

Indeed, my friend.  I gave up on "need" and "want" a few years back.  
I still have "wish" and "hope", but they are cats of a different colour.
My philosophy now is - Relax.  Enjoy life and be yourself.  With luck, 
someone will happen along who likes you for what you are.  If not, so be it,
but you won't have been living behind a facade.
