Wins?

If wins means kills the roadrunner than you need to find one
mam. His name escapes me but he is very, very rich. Several
years ago he contracted the cartoonist of R.R. to do one that
had Wille KILL the Road-runner. One of the conditions that the
artist placed on the deal was that the puchaser could not show
it publicly. T.V., Theater, Video, etc.

Good Luck.

Yes, the congress, in their infinite wisdom - passed a bill a few years

if the scrambled the calls, then they might have a reason for this bill.

No, I'm pretty sure Billy Gilbert didn't do that role.  He IS the plumber's

For what it's worth (not much),

I know somebody who had that scenario *painted* in his house, as part
of a mural for a child's playroom. Wile E. Coyote finishing his Road
Runner meal, picking the bones clean, licking his fingers.  

Well, *I* thought it was funny!

as i heard it, in one of the "little house on the prairie" books(based on the
authors actual childhood), a "green cheese" is unripe, not green-colored.  
a green, or new cheese, has a lumpy texture which the moon's surface
was thought to resemble.

when we watched the first moonwalk on tv, my mommy served crackers and
green-tinted cream cheese in honor of the occasion.

Fistulas?  Oh, my.

A couple of weeks ago I saw a CT cop on I-91 just south of the MA line in
a new sports car (a Stealth?) with a small radar unit mounted on a 10-inch
or so rod sticking up out of the trunk rim.  S/he was parked on the inside
of a left curve - right against the NJ barrier.  Two marked cars were
stationed 1/4 mile further along.  Did y'all see the 60 Minutes a while back
about the CT cops with the brain and testicle cancer blamed on radar?  The
former had their radars mounted on the *rear* dash pointed forward over
the driver's shoulder (and through his/her head).  The latter would rest
their hand-held units (RADAR units :-) between their legs when not clocking
someone.  I believe the CT legislature banned some forms of radar units
after this story aired.

who cares if 'lost in space' was better, in light of the fact that star trek
is pure lame.  there are so many inconsistencies in the show and the whole
premise is absurd.  mr. bradbury didn't have much imagination.  much of the
show resembles current day technology, science, society, whathaveyou with just
a few teasers of 'what the future might hold'.  and most of these are just
plain stupid.  for instance, mortality is still a factor in 25th (or whatever
the hell number they picked) century in light of being able to travel
impossible distances in mere hours.  why don't they (crew dweebs) just
teleport old brains into newly grown young bodies?  why does the enterprise
even have engines; why doesn't it just teleport itself through space?  why is
there only one language spoken in the galaxy -- 20th century english?

in summary, star drek doesn't even qualify for 'science fiction'.  instead, it
only reaches the mark of 'beef-brained fantasy hallucination'.

The movie "The Man in the Glass Booth" was discussed in this group several
months ago, although I don't remember why.  Anyway, here it is again (maybe
for the same reason):

In Jack Smith's column in today's _Los Angeles Times_, a reader claims to have
found a mistake in the movie "The Man in the Glass Booth":  When an attorney
holds up an X-ray purporting to show the defendent's shoulder, it is actually
an X-ray of a woman's pelvis, with an intrauterine device in place.

I just thought I'd use this obscure place to hide my (smug) comment that
the attempt to start a "Lost in Space" flamewar resulted in a *LOT* more
traffic outside of the StarTrek heierarchy than inside.  You guys proved
something, allright.  You proved the credo of AFU, that people are not
only more gullible than you imagine, but more gullible than you *can* imagine.

The folks in the StarTrek heierarchy have discovered that ignoring
stuff makes it go away *faster* than flaming it.

my suggestion for the FAQ:

Fb: a message about 'Lost in Space' brought Usenet to a slowdown because of
	traffic in the 'Star Trek' group(s) refuting it.

Tb: a message about a message about 'Lost in Space' bringing Usenet to a
	slowdown because of traffic in the 'Star Trek' group(s) did so
	due to traffic in the *other* groups discussing it

     And I laughed hysterically, getting funny looks from my wife and

The amazing thing to me is to see where John Waters career has gone.  Along
with Pink Flamingos, he also made Female Trouble, Polyester (a scratch &
sniff - not scratch & snuff - film), and Desparate Living.  He used to
call himself "The Sultan of Sleaze."  I can;t drive through Baltimore
without thinking of him.  He has since gone on to mainstream success with
Hairspray and Cry Baby - both of which still contain some of his off-kilter
sensibility.

My understanding of this is that the name of the manufacturer, Nissan
was persuaded to use a more western sounding name. When the car 
became popular in western markets, Old man Nissan wanted his name
on the car. There was some fear that all the effort that went
into name recoqnition would be wasted, but Japanese cars were (still
are) very popular at the time and the changeover went without much ado.

The building I worked into until last week has a First Floor,
a Ground Floor, and a Lower Level.  The main entrance, however,
is on the Second Floor.

Last week I moved from the Ground Floor to the 3rd floor across
the street.  I am, however, about 6 "floors" above where I was
before.
