You're making my life difficult, Graham!  Please be careful.  Fortunately,
I was able to grab this posting out of Natalie's mail last night before
she saw it.  She doesn't even know that I have the password for rlogin to

Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

One problem we ran into was that the cooks who witnessed the wedding
couldn't write.  So they couldn't sign the marriage license.  Fortunately,
the two teenaged waiters showed up for work about that time and signed it.
That oddity, along with the fact that the marriage license said we got
married in Oktibbeha County when it was really Lowndes County, may mean
that the marriage was never legal.

Pray a lot. :-) When I was growing up, it was not at all uncommon to see
an outdoor "storm cellar," particularly out in the country...a wooden door
fitted into the side of a little slope or mound as entrance to a dugout
area where people sheltered from tornados.  I never knew anyone who had
one under the house itself, though.

That's sort of what I meant by my clumsy compliment last night -- many of
us (most of us?) feel that way, but you expressed it.  "What oft was thought
but n'er so well expressed" and all that good stuff.

So when *are* you gonna find a Mississippi Pond-Raised Catfish restaurant
and toast me??  If you can't find one, go to the Italian restaurant next to
the exit of the Russell Square tube stop and toast me there.  Not because
I have any Italian blood or connections but because I once fell in love
with that restaurant (before it expanded and changed -- it was ok the last
time I was in it -- 1987 or so, I think -- but wasn't anything like its
older, smaller self of ten or so years earlier).

It does for certain people: those whose self-respect does not have a firm

At that time Depraved May was a 3 month old Blakean wonder from
southern India. She owes her name to T.S.Eliot. She is a living
lesson in the wonder and depravity of pure animal power - no
doubt Jung would say I'm projecting. One needs a friend like
May to discover how one's mind can respond to certain realities.
Somehow the word *tiger* doesn't do her justice.

Buster Crabbe also played the first Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers in the
serials made by Universal in the 1930's.  About 15 years ago, all 3
Flash Gordon serials were syndicated on TV.  The local station that
had the rights showed them at 1 AM Sunday mornings; I used to stay
up to watch them (no VCR).  To this day, Listz's _Les Preludes_ will
always be (to me) the theme of _Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe_.

Because I was too lazy to hunt around in the list logs for that address.
The problem with the Brownies is that they subscribe to the list as a group
rather than as individuals and thus their addresses aren't greppable in
the list of subscribers I keep online.  It's easy to remember addresses like
primate@brownvm.brown.edu or elaine@brownvm.brown.edu, but my poor brain
doesn't file those IDs like Karen's, Frank's, and Tony's -- the ones with
letters and numbers.  My brain also has problems with shortened versions of
