I was recently informed of a somewhat disturbing development: there are plans
in this area to network the vending machines.  Everyone here would have a
charge account used only for the machines.  The idea, it seems, is to save
people having to carry around cash for quick snacks.

Here's the frightening part: someone, somewhere, would be able to see when and
where you were when last you used one of the machines.  They would know how
much you spent and what you ate.  Who would this be??
It's not much of a problem in and of itself, but it's certainly heading in a
"1984" direction...

A police brief from today's (11/17) Allentown, PA Morning Call:


CHARGED- Jose "King Kong" DeJesus,
21, of 1543 E. 8th St., with scattering
rubbish; police say he threw a bottle
on the sidewalk in the 1700 block of
Lynfield Drive at 9:34 p.m. Saturday.



I wonder if this was as dramatic as when he broke out of the cage in the
original thriller?  I love police briefs.

Yes, there's nothing sadder in May than a town without a mascot and
that's doubly true in the Spring and this town had just about as little
mascot as they come. But in the midst of this desolation, and as
joy-ridden as a concession speech sat the Constapig, drunk and naked in
the town whore which was just about as good. For the King was coming,
and a Constapig in a poke needs no Chamber of Commerce. That was a

for the benefit of east coast readers: there are now essentially only
two banks on the west coast; bank of america, and a much smaller institution
based in portland which we might for the purposes of this discussion
call the bank of oregon.

during b of a's last couple of major bank-snarfings, they allowed their 
victims to keep the names they had had at the time of their consumption.
it's a lot cheaper than changing signs out in front of all the branches.
i've noticed that most of the bank branch offices in the dc metro area
now have polyester bag signs that cover the logos of the banks they used
to be. The arrival of the sign man to replace the bag with a glass sign
is usually the omen that the bank is about to change hands again, although
I've seen bank branches with bags two deep.

anyway, although my visa card says "seafirst bank" on it, seattle-first
national bank is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of bank of america, and
so is the former-archrival bank across the street, which is known as
Security Pacific (security pacific itself not having stumbled upon the
same enlightened policy in its own bank-snarfing days.

to address mark's problem: you have no alternative but to leave california,
and move to a place with more conservative banking laws, such as Wyoming
or Illinois.

i suggest you write a letter to pete wilson explaining your decision, and
asking why the hell he doesn't do something about the massive exodus of
taxpaying citizens such as yourself

There was some disgusted speculation a while back (before so many
people had *.psu.edu in their killfiles) about what the possible 
environs of PSU could be.

Last Sunday afternoon I talked to a writer friend (Kit K.) who
described her visit to a friend (Alis. R.) whose husband now teaches
at PSU and who just moved there this fall.

Here are some data points, all at second hand:
1)  Outside the university and the small town adjoining it, there
    lies nothing but farms, forests, fields, and snow.  Lots of snow,
    from November on.
2)  When Kit asked some of the locals if the town had any interesting
    or unusual restaurants, they thought a while and then suggested
    the local Arby's.
3)  The university has around 40,000 students; the town has around
    40,000 other residents.  
4)  The town had only three bookstores she could find.
  4.a)  One is the university bookstore, selling primarily textbooks;
  4.b)  One is a Dalton's;
  4.c)  The last, putatively real, bookstore opened only two years ago.

It sounds tragic.  I gather Alis is going slowly mad.

  Jesus                                    Elvis
  -----                                    -----
  Jesus H. Christ has 12 letters.          Elvis Presley has 12 letters.

  Jesus was part of the trinity.           Elvis's first band was a trio.

  Jesus walked on water. (Mattew 14.25)    Elvis surfed. (Blue Hawaii 1966)

  Jesus was a carpenter.                   Elvis majored in wood-shop/industrial
                                           art at High School.

  Jesus is the Lord's Shepherd.            Elvis dated Cybill Shepherd.

  Jesus said "Love thy neighbour."         Elvis said "Don't be Cruel".
   (Matthew 22.39)                           (RCA 1956)

  Jesus is a Capricorn (December 25th)     Elvis is a Capricorn (January 8th)

  Jesus's Countenance was like lightning   Elvis's trademarks were a lightning
  and his rainment white as snow.          bolt and snow-white jumpsuits.
    (Matthew 28.3)

  Mary had an immaculate conception.       Priscilla went to Immaculate Conception
                                           High School.

  Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights.     Elvis had irregular eating habits.

  Jesus was Jewish.                        Elvis was part Jewish.
                                            (Great Grandmother)

  Jesus was resurrected.                   Elvis had a come back in 1968.

  Jesus's Father is everywhere.            Elvis's father Vernon, was a drifter                                              who moved around quite a bit.

shameful confession was ...weeks,...months, years ago. Since then I
have committed the following heinous acts:
Then type your blunders along with the number of times each blunder 
was committed, as well as you can.
Then type: I am sorry for these and all the other truly monumental
screw-ups that have occurred during my brief, fleeting existence. I 
am especially sorry for ...worse faux pas you ever performed in
private or public life.
Then Kibo will give the penance and the absolution. As you read Kibo's
