TITLE: A Haircur for Tanais

Well, it's happened. I managed to sell my old double bass to one of 
the ex members of a local(ish) band called the Wurzels (most famous 
for a 70's "Hit" Song called "I am a Zyder Drinker" (to the tune of 
"_____ paloma blanca". To celebrate I bought myself a pair of hair 
clippers and Merrytail was let free to have a go at my hair -- I'm a 
trusting fox like that! She did a marvellous job.

Mmmmm, Skritchy bits to order now! Now I have a nice mop on top with 
a very short back and sides -- oh and the boring bit around the ears 
and above -- next to the temples? All shaved short into a straight 
line -- sort of like a cross between Terry Hall from "The Specials" 
and "Fun Boy Three" and Robert Smith from "The Cure".

We're thinking of "carving" a rune into the back of my head as well 
(let's see how well that goes down with immigration when I get into 
the USA), and my new role as freelance journalist (I got sacked/we 
parted on amicable terms) after being off from work ill for four 
months is already delving deep into the San Fran and Chicago computer 
community for good candidates to interview and sell to UK magazines.

I may even see about seeing a few US magazines about being a UK 
columist/analyst for US computer magazines...

The beard has gone -- I'm back to my clean shaven self (it was far to 
prickly even for vulpine self) so when I wear my glasses (invariably 
to write these postings or for when I've been playing the fiddle so 
long that I'm cross-eyed), I look like a weird cross between some 
preppy-gone-wrong in patchwork trousers and a chaotic marriage 
between a dead-head and a mad scientist (especially when Ignatz and I 
were discussing using the internet as a replacement for "memory" last 
night)...

Cool! Now, my friends you can scritch me anywhere you like -- from 
behind, in front, from the sides, you can even doff my mop on top...

I remember my ZX81 fondly.  That was one computer that was a real
challenge to use...I mean, you can only do so much with 16K, y'know.  :)
I really never had any trouble with my RAMpack, though.  Guess I got 
lucky.  :)

I got one of the keyboards for it (which made things easier) - but then
my system decided to up and crash for good.  *Sigh*  So much for "no 
thrills computing".  :)

Come to think of it, I destroyed the first two computers I had - my ZX81,
and my TI 99/4a.  I still have my C=64, and it's still going strong.
Never mind the fact that I use an IBM-compat for most stuff nowadays. :)

Having checked my trusty "Little, Brown Handbook", I find that it was indeed a 
simile. NOT a metaphor masquerading as a simile, but a simile.

The old primary school rules : If it uses "like" or "as", then it's a simile.
Otherwise, it's a metaphor. Unless it's a verb, in which case you are
probably having trouble keeping it still. Verbs are the noisy parts of the
languages, while nouns are the quiet ones that sit serenely, and anchor the
rest of the sentence. And don't even get me started on adverbs!

Sorry, I misspoke myself.  Clinton has, via executive order:
	1)  Removed the ban on fetal tissue research;
	2)  Cleared the way to remove the ban on personal importation of
	    RU-486;
	3)  Rescinded the gag rule on abortion counseling;
and seems likely to rescind the ban on gays in the armed services.

However, if you look at these four actions, they're all aimed at relatively
small segments of his constituency.  The first satisfies some scientists and
people suffering from certain disorders (though the latter are unlikely to
benefit from the research), and I certainly support it (as I do the other
three points).  The second and third appeal to those opposed to the
fundamentalist so-called "right to life" advocates.  That's certainly a much
broader part of his constituency, but it's still quite small compared to those
who voted for him on the basis of his promises to reduce taxes on the middle
class and cut the federal deficit.
