Well I had, through various adventures, acquired a knee

A)  While I don't care much for the label myself, many pagans refer to
themselves as witches, so I sometimes (reluctantly) call myself a witch.

B)  My tits are not cold, thank you very much.

C)  While I am the last person in the world to take offense at a common
enough cliche (I just wince slightly when I see it) I can and do get
pissed off when somebody starts with obnoxious "can you turn me into a
frog, huh-har-huh-har" level jokes, much less (ugh!) "Incuntations"
(picture me typing that monstrosity while pinching my nose closed and 
holding the keyboard at arm's length.)  And no, spreading VileGossip
won't lead to nasty spells or curses, but it WILL lead to many insults
and nasty e-mails raining down on Dreas's mailbox.

D)  I think Rob would look quite handsome in a beard, but then I love
beards and long hair so much that I'm maybe not the most unbiased judge.
I think that except in the case of having a beard that starts at your
eyebrows and ends at your knees or, at the other extreme, being a member
of my mutant's family and only having 6 facial hairs total, males were
meant to wear beards.

I met my current SO (of 3+ years) in a German class.  We struck up a
conversation, and he asked if I had eaten lunch.  (We went to the
dining hall, no major committment.)  Then the two of us organized a
study group for the German class.  Nobody elso showed up, so we went
out to eat and spent the rest of the night talking. The rest, as they
say, is history.

In zoology the term "race" is a synonym for "sub-species," which is the only
category below the level of species.  However, modern humans are all members
of one sub-species, _Homo sapiens sapiens_ (even those of us with simian
creases, but I'm not sure about those with sagittal crests.  Trygve?).
Chimpanzees, on the other hand, fall into three distinct sub-species, 
gorillas into three, and orangutans into two.  When asked for "race" on
a questionaire, my answer would be "_sapiens_."

However, designation of sub-species is optional, and the present trend in
zoology is not to do so.  I could also answer "none."

This summer, the cats around my apartment building kept setting off
the alarm in one of the cars parked outside my window.  Usually at
1 a.m.

After a week or so, my roommate proposed placing a note on the car
that read, "Your neighbors are considering breaking into this car
and STEALING THE ALARM!"

They fixed the alarm before we were able to write the note, though...

(Helpful Hint:  When installing a new alarm in an apartment-dweller's
                car, always adjust the sensors higher than the "cat"
                setting.)

Well, I can see how it might be. If you are actively seeking someone to be
"serious" with and are obvious about that, your attitude may come across as
something like "I am looking for a mate and you are there" rather than "After
getting to know you I know that *you* are right for me bla bla bla." I can 
see how someone might be a bit turned off by the first impression.

Gee, I don't ever remember asking her to out with me, do you?
And of course Shelley wouldn't go out with me, if nothing else 
because of her religious restrictions, I'm not Jewish.
And you know what, dougie? I respect her for that choice. And I've
