I'm starting to wonder if we could be distantly related.... my son has always
felt almost exactly the same way.... only almost because he gets really cut
if no-one buys him anything. I count myself lucky that in the last 5 years
he has bought me two presents (one on my birthday last year and one for
Christmas this year) - both were books about computers. The book this year
was given to me 3 weeks before Christmas but he did say that he wasn't
going to buy me anything *else* for Christmas, so it counts. :-)

        Not quite, uncle.  It's an abbreviation for "bulleted breech".
In the mid-eighteenth century there was a fad for something called "parlor
pistols", which, as you might suspect, were VERY low-powered single-shot
handguns suitable for indoor use without inconveniencing the neighbors.
The ammunition was simply a percussion cap (invented by a Scots minister!)
with a small lead 'bullet' placed on top.  You could get about as much muzzle
velocity with a peashooter, and do about as much damage. The next step was to
lengthen the cap, insert about 1-2 grains of blackpowder, and call it 'CB'.
I've read that was used to shoot vermin, but it would be inhumane for anything
larger than a sewer roach.  Later when low-powered pneumatic guns came around
both the pellet size and the term were transferred.  This was some time before
the "Daisy Co." came onto the scene, BTW.  BB guns aren't seen much anymore
due to increasing urbanization rather than PC considerations, although it is
as illegal to discharge one inside city limits as it is a proper firearm.
And Natalie?  OO is "double ought buck" - buckshot!  About .3 of an inch, 7.65mm
   and a much different proposition.

JMW, who is finding Words-l theraputic, distracting, and infinitely more
pleasant than standing deathwatch at the ICU...

ps - Ooops, forgot "spider hole"!  It's a standard foxhole with the addition of
an invariably camoflaged [sp?] removable cover.  The term is based on the lair
of the wolf spider, who weaves a concealing 'hinged' lid to avoid frightening
away his next meal pre-pounce.

Exacty what it is varies.  It's rice cooked with various other stuff that
makes it look dirty.  Some versions use chicken gizzards as a main ingredient.
Others use chicken livers and sausage.  The recipe in -White Trash Cooking-
uses ground beef.  Most include onion, garlic, tobasco, and sometimes other
spices.

Like many "second thoughters," Medved exaggerates and demonizes
his "enemy." He states quite clearly that he would like to see
Hollywood make movies that make "us" (whoever that may be) feel good
about "ourselves." His review criteria for quality are based on
a "family values" frame in which form is secondary and content is
matched against an explicitly ideological "PC" set of standards.
He was once considered a promising reviewer, but he is now 
considered more of a "religious commentator" on movies than a
bona fide movie reviewer. I have not seen from him a positive review
of a movie that wasn't "family oriented" or "feel good" in several
years.

wiht glasses on, can read it with left eye....from about 7 inches....
on fifteen inch monitor....but the lines are wavy, sorta like a stormy

it with left eye, no glasses, means getting about three inches from screen,
which means whole body moving, not just head turning....and neither one is
very amenable to being able to type, or watching screen as type....never look
at fingers....this wonder keyborad on the new machine has the finger bumps
at right place, at bottom edge of keytop, not in the center, where it becomes

:>> Paglia is considered to be a strident anti-feminist.

:>"Considered?"  By whom?

: By whom? Let's start with Paglia herself.

Then why not just post, "Paglia makes strident claims against
conventional feminists."  Leave the Divine Passive to academic administrators
and the like.

:> What business do two males have debating "who is a feminist" anyway?

: What business does an economist have in responding to an author that he
: probably hasn't read? Or in whites discussing racism? Or.....heh!
: Sounds like you're advocating radical essentialism, Steve...

Good call on the "probably" Jim.  SAAC arrived in the mail today.
I'm not sure whether to take it, _Tragedy of American Compassion_, or
_Sex and Reason_ to read on the plane to/from California.

By the way, good call on the "radical essentialism."  Of course, I'm
not advocating it, just mocking it.  Merry Christmas, Happy New Year,
Happy Hanukah, and practice a Safe Saturnalia!
