There is Portland State as well as Reed.  But frankly, ELaine
set a very high standard last summer.  I suspect that unless we
go to places where wordslers actually run the computer ctr. (like
Starkville) that that standard will be difficult to meet.  I
remain optimistic.  (And not that concerned about access.)

Getting from here to Ireland would almost certainly be cheaper than
getting from here to Portland.  One reason I rarely go to the western
part of the U.S. is that it usually costs less to go to Europe (and is
more fun).

The Globe & Mail today carried a very similar story by their reporter in
Mogadishu, Geoffrey York.  It mentions Conoco's "special representative"
in Somalia "powerful 47-year-old businessman Osman Hassan Ali, who has
connections to one of the country's biggest warlords."  There is lots
of overlap with the LA Times article, but no mention of it.

'CLOO doe'..... Tushar was absolutely right when he stated the obvious that
it is meant to rhyme with  Ludo ('LOO doe'). Rashmi while 'playdoh' and
Cluedo rhyme on the last syllable the initial vowel in playdoh is a diphthong
in my dialect and therefore is marginally longer than the 'oo' of Cluedo.

Umm. I would go to either one, if the date was right.

first week in July.  This may not work out, so don't any-

Ben, my 11-year-old, read this to me while I was fixing dinner
Tuesday.  He wrote it for laughs in about an hour.  He has "Married
With Children" on the brain, which accounts for the names of the
parents.

Except for converting the file from WordPerfect to ASCII format, I
have changed nothing, including the one misspelling and places where
the kid got comma-happy.  Creativity and incipient (?) madness run in
my family.:-)

The question has been put to me of how this kid, who is in honors
classes in Junior High School, is going to survive his schooling.  The
answer to that is he has me and my wife for parents.  The better
question is how he's going to survive us.:-)

                        RICHARD THE RABBIT

One night in a bar, Al Rabbit got drunk and brought his miserable
wife, Peggy Rabbit, home and they had sex.  Nine months later Richard
Rabbit was born.  He was very, very, very, ugly.  As the baby grew
older, he became attracted to folders.  He had sex with them all the
time.  He also frequently stuck them up his ass.  He slept with them
all the time.  Then one day he got tired of ordinary folders.  He
craved NEW Trapper Portfolios!  So he went to the store to buy one to
use for school.  When he saw it he thought,"It's $1.49 and very sexy."
He bought it and went to the library.  When picking out books his mind
overpowered his body and he thought to himself,"You don't deserve to
be used for school." And with that he took the folder and had sex with
it right in the middle of the public library.  After that he became
delirious and bragged to the librarian about his sex life with
folders.

After having many complaints about the 6th grade 1A students in George
Washington Junior High, the librarian decided to punish them.  She had
Richard Rabbit put in the track 1A classes.  After that the 1A
students were miserable for the rest of their lives, and no
phyciatrist could help them.  They would never be able to get over
being in class with Richard Rabbit.

What are they doing there?  I assumed they were in your Hope Chest.

I'm having trouble getting my signoff message through to the listserv@uga.
I've enjoyed your company but I can't keep up with the traffic. Could someone
please tell me the correct signoff command or perform the signoff for me?
Thanks

Everclear was a favorite for college punch.  Dining hall fruit punch, plus
fruit slices soaked in grain, plus the remainder of the Everclear.:-)
The fruit was the good part....  These days, give me a bottle of Luksosowa
any time.  It's smoother and it tastes better. [which isn't saying much]
