The correct newsgroup for posting jokes older than you are is rec.humor,
just down the hall, behind the door marked "DO NOT OPEN--LIVE VOLCANO."
Don't let the door, etc.

when i am really bored and listless, and i happen to
be using an X-ws. machine, i sometimes get to the 
point that i type everything by grabbing letters
of the screen with the mouse, and if i am really really
bored then i will run commands just to get them to

Much more likely, the sand is there to help limit the bad flow properties
caused by traces of moisture.  It'd be very fine sand.  It's good at that.

As for why anyone wants to use a sugar substitute, I wonder too.  Doesn't
save many calories.  Tastes funny.  I guess it's just a puzzle.

Elliott's new nickname is "Enema Kitty".

The vet said that the reason he wasn't eating was that he
was packed solid with impacted hairballs.  The vet said that
the reason he had hairballs was that he was overgrooming, 
probably because he's allergic to something.

Then the vet gave Elliot an enema.

Elliot was too putrescent to let into the house.  So we
bathed him.  I had no Dr Bronner's, so I used Lance's shampoo
instead.  

We have to pill him every day.  The pills are bright red, but
otherwise look & feel just like Vitamin E capsules.  Apparently
they are expensive vaseline in gelatin caps.   Elliot likes to
see how long he can hold them in his mouth before spitting them
out. 

Ratfink caught & dismembered two black squirrels.  He was going
to bring the headless one into the house, but we shut the door
in time.

Tab eats the algae wafers I bought to feed my catfish.  "That
isn't food," Lance tells him.  "That's what food *eats*."  But
Tab eats them anyway.

After I died I found myself drifting, not toward a light as so many 
have described, but rather into progressively deeper darkness.  
Finally, I found that I had once again assumed corporeal form and was 
walking down a tunnel with stone walls.  I came to a large wooden 
door which slowly swung open as I approached.

As I passed through the door I saw a large chamber, dimly lit with 
torches.  In the darkness I felt more than saw several small creatures 
skittering out from underfoot.  Directly in front of me was a man 
sitting on a large chair which in turn was set upon a dais.

"Ah, Mr. Hoffman.  Welcome," he said.  He was fourty-ish with black 
hair, dark eyes, clean shaven, and extremely lean, almost gaunt.

"What is this place?" I asked.

"Ah, you know where you are, Mr. Hoffman." he said with a grin.

I said "How could this happen - with all the work I've done -"  

He cut me off.  "Yes, I wanted to thank you for that.  It's been quite 
effective.  Very productive.  Hundreds might have - well, how shall I 
put it - _gone the other way_ if not for you."  And again that grin.

"I don't understand," I said, genuinely confused.

"Tell me, Mr. Hoffman, of your opinions concerning those infected with 
the AIDS virus."

I spoke rapidly as if the words were being pulled directly from my 
mind.  "Most of them brought it on themselves.  Sodomizers and drug 
addicts."

"And that child you had removed from the school your children attend?" 
he fired back.  His eyes blazoned into my soul.  I felt panic rise 
within me.

"That was for his own protection as well as others." I was almost 
shouting.

I was grateful for the pause as he leaned back in his chair, 
satisfied.  For the first time I noticed a small wiesened man standing 
next to him.  This man whispered into the ear of my tormentor.

"Quite right," said the man in front of me, "Thank you."  Then he 
delivered a blow to the man's jaw that flung him across the room.  He 
looked at me again.  "Tell me about this AIDS thing," he said, each 
word a dart.  "How do you think that came about?"

"A test, a test from God!" I shouted.

Before my words died, laughter erupted throughout the room.  Laughter 
from mouths unseen and unseeable around the chamber.  The man on the 
chair was laughing deeply, very loud.  Suddenly he stopped and all 
others stopped instantly as well.  

"You fool," he said, "That wasn't God's work.  It was MINE!"

In my hometown (Hantsport, NS) there's a building that is 3 stories tall 
with ratty old stairways and everything!!!!

From my 2nd story bedroom window I can see my neighbor's house and yard!

one word for you, my soul brother, one word:

paraguay.

the climate is salubrious and the extradition treaties quite balmy.
you can build a huge house in the jungle, like harrison ford in
"mosquito coast," with a porch facing out over the rio jicama,
a mahogany porch, real mahogany baby, and wicker lounge furniture
on which you can sit, watch the sunset (it is a peculiar fact
of paraguayan geography that the sun is always setting - something
to do with longitude i think) and chain-drink dry martinis.

when you get bored you can throw parties and invite all the other
great criminals of history.  smoke play cards and dabble in
conspiracy.  castles of evil in the air.  things you should have
done forty years ago but never got around to it.  things you would
do today if you were forty years younger.  bang drinks on card
tables and summarize the world's ills in six-word sentences.
it's not the world's friendliest subculture but polish up your
german and you should do just fine.
