There are very few foods that cannot be improved by the addition of

It really is the fault of both parties.  But that has to be accepted as a
gamble, like most everything else in our little world we live in.  One can't
really blame the other because of an often overlooked fact:

Both allow the relationship to continue and set no boundaries at the beginning.
Then, one falls in love with the other.  That is when all hell breaks loose -
the other saying, "Let's just be friends".  Think about it, if you don't want
to have to tell the other party he/she isn't good enough for a more advanced
relationship, then develop a good habit at the start - make it clear you just
want to be friends.  Don't develop into a full blown relationship, keep it as
casual friends.  I am a firm believer that if a man and woman keep seeing
enough of each other one of them is going to get the "hots" for the other one!
If you keep it cool all the way around, that will most likely not happen.
The other friend will usually end up finding someone who does want a true
loving relationship.  And... you don't have to feel so bad!

I've been there, but then I was used.  The female led me on and lied many
times.  Allowing me to get close to her.  Then she hung me from the rafters and
left me for the flies!  That was my fault, but that old expression..."Hurt me
once, shame on you - hurt me twice, shame on me!"...

*laugh* True indeed, over there I'm arguing for an _inclusive_
definition of pizza, and here I propose an exclusive definition of
"serious chocolate lover."

But as they say, "A foolish consistency..."

*chuckle*  I'm still laughing over this characterisation of my views
on pizza, Al.  Thanks for sharing it with this group.  When I drive
out to Butler's in Westport for donuts (in the cool-weather months
they have whipped-cream filled donuts) perhaps I should attend one of
your pizza seminars.

I maintain, however, the bread has to be baked together with the
roadkill on the manifold.  And why in the world does the roadkill have
to be flattened?  Just chop it coarsely.

This reminded me of John McPhee's "Travels in Georgia" (from _Pieces of
the Frame_, his best collection) about driving the state with a
conservation officer, and a trip by canoe down the Chattahoochee River
with then-governor Carter, where the reader discovers why Jimmy chose
to take on the dam-builders as prez.  One of his best essays, IMO.

How many relationships have you gotten by being a Domestic God?  

(People often say, when they find out that I cook and sew, that I'd
"make a good wife for someone."  But oddly, they never introduce me to
this "someone.")

_She_ is an experienced dancer, and the ring was quite plain.  

So you are a contra dancer too.  Gee, it's great the things you

Much as I admire Mark Twain, I have to disagree with him here--I don't know
a whole lot about the Mississippi river, but gaining technical understanding
of other subjects has increased my aesthetic appreciation for them:  I find
automobiles, stereo equipment, and even algorithms more aethetically 
appealing the more I know about them technically; the same can be said for
sports, art, and food.

When we are little wee bearn, our first bond is with a woman.  We
grow in her body, we are born through her vagina, and we nurse at
her nipple.  Biology, like all primates.  But humans also have emotions
that start at God knows what stage of development but probably sometime
before birth.

We form emotional bonds, and the first one we form is with this body
we have contact with that's providing us with all kinds of neat 
sustinence.  It's our mother.  As children we can still be cuddled
and nurtured by this woman.  But then when we mature into adults to
start the cycle of life again, the sexes split.  The young men change their
nurturing point from one woman (mother) to another woman (mate).

With the young woman, it's a little more involved.  She must not only change
her nuturing point away from the mother, but she must learn to be physically
intimate with a man.  Once this is done, she has then bonded with BOTH
sexes and knows both type of intimacies.  It's biology, it's life, it's
the planet.

It's also why two women can bond closer than two men (ie, arms around each
other, hugging, dancing together, etc.) and nobody will bat an eyeball about
it.  It's also why a preponderance of people think that lesbian scenes in
porno movies are erotic, but homosexual men getting it on is a turn-off.  And
it's also why having fathers do the nurturing is something fairly new (it
didn't start until the Cro-Magnon era) that some people *still* view a
little cockeyed.

I think the answer to the WHY!!!! question can be found in your high
school biology and family psychology books.  Women bond with their same
sex from birth; men don't.  Now that more and more fathers are taking an
active part in the birthing and bonding process, this might change and
all you guys who really want to might raise sons who can hug and dance
and have sex with other men and the whole world will be Disneyland.

OK,  I think most of us equate an 'E' ticket as the highest priced ticket
that one purchases at Disneyland for their amusements rides.  Would someone
explain the other reference?

I know a guy that released an instrumental guitar album (ala Steve {Morse,
Satriani,Vai}) called "EE" Ticket.  The album begins with the sounds of
people getting on a roller coaster ("If you are not this tall, have back
or heart trouble you should take this ride") and then proceeds to rock-n-roll.

Actually, at some conventions (Readercon comes to mind), much more of

can go through an entire convention without discussing sf at all.
