Subject: Boulder Creek bike path (west of Foothills Pkwy)
Organization: STORM Project Office, NCAR, Boulder
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1992 19:27:03 GMT

I rode on the Boulder Creek bike path the other day.
I went all the way to the eastern end. I've never been
to the western end. I got to within about .5 miles of
it, but it was raining fairly hard, so my roommate and
I turned around and coasted home.

But, the other day when I went to the eastern
end for the second time. On the way back home, the
chain was on the biggest chainring and I could feel
the pulsing tension of my leg muscles.

I passed by a girl who was going the other direction.
She was riding a white mountain bike. She must have
been around 6'0" or better, with smooth, tan, legs
and silky, blonde, hair. She was wearing some gray
sweatpants cut-off to shorts-length, and a tight
white T-shirt. Both items clung to her perfectly
proportioned body. Her breasts were not overly
large, but rather in tune with the rest of her
glowing body.

But what really caught me was her perfume trail.
Sweet, sensual, and not a hint of sweat. It took
hold of me and nearly threw me to the ground with
passion and might.

Then, a minute or two later, while I was still
reeling two chunky teenage girls passed by, also
going the other direction. The second one seemed to
be wearing the same perfume as my dream girl.

You're right and it never dawned on me. Let's examine some non-serious
offenses first:

Lying (but only to Congress, ala North, Poindexter, et al).
Fraud (but only if you're diverting government equipment to a "good"
       cause)
Sexual assault (Only when heterosexual in nature. It is instructive to
                note that no one from Tailhook has received more than a
                slap on the wrist. Had they been grabbing at each other 
		they would have been tossed out 6-8 months ago.)
Adultery (Surprisingly enough this is listed as a serious offense, but
          is never ever enforced. Unless, of course, they can't get someone 
          they want badly enough on another charge.)


Some of the more serious offenses are:

Lying, or misappropriating govt property, for personal gain.
Slow dancing with a Marine who is enlisted or a member of the same sex.
Getting caught DWI. (Of course if you "payoff" enough money so that the
                     charges get "lost" or whatever  "Fast Eddie" did, 
		     they'll look the other way. Be warned that this only 
		     applies to "Golden Boys" and that your mileage may
		     vary.)
Disrespect.
Having pierced ears.(Considered prima-facie evidence of the former).
Being over the weight standard for your height.
Bad table manners.
Registering to vote as a Democrat.
Recreational drug use. (Excepting of course alcohol, caffeine, and/or
                        nicotine. All of which are made readily
			available on base free, tax-free, and          
			often subsidized by the government.)

Now let me illustrate the type of letter you might want to send.

Dear Sir,

I saw LT White in <name of gay bar> in San Francisco. He was drunk and
offering <list stolen government property> to some enlisted male marines
in return for anal sex.

Hugs,
anonymous.

*THAT* my friend is how it is done.

"Clue is a continuum, not a quantum state."

Of course it doesn't work all the time.  If it fails against a player, next
time I wait for the inevitable torp stream, then leave for another planet.
I've decided that DDs are the only ship to take planets in (even in an
LPS).  If you want to get into the planet against heavey fire, you can
dodge your way in and drop at least an army or two, or, if you don't want
to worry about it, you can fake to a planet, then zip of at warp 10 to
another with less dangerous surroundings.  And after taking the planet, you
can unclaok and still have enough fuel to take out one of their potential
carriers.
