Subject:      German/American Day at LoL

Maybe some of your recall that I mentioned Dawn (high school sophomore) is
taking German language this year.  And she is really getting into it.  Tonight,
LoL (Land o'Lakes) High School is having open house and Dawn has done a lot
of work for the German/American display (made about 250 small flags - Germany
on one side, US the other), really impressive poster, plus a number of
computer generated posters.  Now, if anyone, preferably from Germany, or
German speaking country, would like to send a message to the students of
LoL, (Land o'Lakes, Florida) I would be most happy to print the message and
deliver it tonight.  If anyone does respond, please realize I do not
understand German, and I will assume whatever is written would maintain and
foster good relations between German and American cultures.  The students
in Dawn's class are making a great effort, not only to understand the
language, but to understand the people.  Thank you in advance.

                            Peace,
                                  Don

It's typical of ggs to have taken my TUSHAR SAMANT vs LARRY ("FUCK

merely reflecting the mentality of a biggish contingent in the words-l

I don't own a car with such a feature (all ours are much too old -- newest
is 1978), but I've been a passenger in such.  There is a switch (electronic,
I assume) which can release the trunk lid from inside the passenger
compartment, so the driver need not get out of the car to open the trunk --
a nice feature when picking up one's purchases at a store, giving a mechanic
trunk access (I'm sure those with this feature can supply other situations
when it is helpful) -- seems analogous to the automatic garage door opener --

Nice to be finally catching up on last week's mail and to respond before

I'm surprised at the guesses so far -- or rather at the failure to name
the most likely suspect.  If Santa sends a direct note to any of you
(i.e., not through the list), examine the headers for the evidence.  If,
like me, you have some of the headers automatically suppressed on incoming
mail, you may have to forward it back to yourself to see all the headers.
Very few places allow totally anonymous faking anymore.  I was chagrined
to see that my one last haven of being completely untraceable changed not
long ago -- MIT.  Listservs, however, delete the identifying lines.

like the dream where you realize at school that you have been walking
around all day in your underwear and are publicly horrified but secretly
pleased. But I also feel the loss of an opportunity to welcome a true
newbie in my own special way.

Two others who are now list regulars have written me privately and said
that they lurked the list long enough to figure out who the monster egos
were, then deliberately engaged them in a flamewar in order to gain
acceptance into the group. I suppose the lurk factor on this list is the
same as it is everywhere.

Well, Bayla, it depends on what you mean by 'direction'...  in

instead of the usual left to right we're used to up here.  I've seen it -
it's *very* subconsciously disorientating to your sense of north/south...

Blinking your lights is illegal?  Sheesh - and I thought the UConn campus

don't hide very well, and are pretty visible, but as long as you don't
