Pasadena (CA, not TX) has these, but there are signs that say "Smile! You're on

They won't let women preach, but women do teach adult Sudnay school classes.
Those classes may be composed of all women, however, as many Baptist
churches still segregate males and females in Sunday School.  Many
churches are, however, now offering integrated classes both for married
couples and for singles, and it has been my experience that the teachers
of these classes are either male *or* taught jointly by a male and female.

Greetings,

Deleting these quys for being offensive was a bad idea because: 1. it
amounts to censorship; 2. my little boytoys disappeared, just when I
was going to start having some fun.

Deleting them quietly was a bad idea for the same reason using a pretext
was a bad ide; it smacks of wimpery.

Informing their local postmaster about them without first notifying them of
said intention was a bad idea because it  was, in fact, informing.
Methinks VMI is hardly as liberal an institution as MSSTATE and pulling
their accounts is liable to be mild compared to the ensuing regimental
discipline.

Gosh, Graham--I'm *not* a lawyer, but I do have a fine ear for words, thank
you very much.  But to speak in lawyerly fashion, premeditation and
recklessness are kind of like mashed potatos and hot chocolate:  they don't
go together very well.   In legal-speak, premeditation means you know what
you're doing--you intend to do it; recklessness means that you have
"adverted to the risk" that something <nasty> will be the result.  So
technically, you cannot premeditate recklessness.  Well, maybe you can.

In any caSE, I did not mean to make <fun> of you by calling attention to
the oxymoron--had I wanted to do that I would have called attention to the
emphasis on the moron.  I did, in fact, think it was a cute turn of phrase,
however oxymoronic--no emphasis added--and in my own benighted way, lamely
attempted to underline it for the list.

But what about Al?

Hey, Marty, "Mr. Laidback" is my middle name.....I've been quiet about
Clinton mostly because he's actually quiet conservative (a "percy
republican" for the nineties).  But, after recovering from the
devastation of not being perceived as the

Not on this VAX system.  But my response would be that it depends on the
terminal type, not the operating system.  I'd also guess that you'd have
to extract it to file and then view the file -- all I got was the ASCII

  According to what I've been told, women are not allowed to teach adult

Maybe you just have more speed traps?   8-)   How else does the south
get that reputation of sleazy sheriff setting speed traps, arresting the
nubile young honeys, locking them up in some slimy cell to have his way
with them, letting his bulldyke matron have her way with them, and so on,
come about?  After all, we HAVE seen a LOT of versions of that film,
haven't we?  Didn't Joe Bob do a whole book about them?

I see the blinking with that meaning in the west, the southwest, in
California, and in midwest (NE, IA, IL, IN, etc.).  Don't recall seeing
it happen in New England, but not sure....

	I kinda thought it was funny that I got votes for "dullest
life" and "most interesting life."  Cracked me up.  Reminded me
how differently one can be viewed through different eyes.  Especially
when the picture is only ASCII.

	How can anybody take something like this seriously?  I mean,
I probably talk to Anne Harwell on the phone the most, and I meet
Anne Haycock for lunch now and then.  But I don't know them enough
to "judge" them in any real sense.  It never even occurred to me that
the little contest was anything more than poking fun at our list personas.

	Nobody was "hiding" behind the silly contest.  If we're paying
attention, we all know what we think of each other anyways.  Which is
the bigger hypocrisy?  Me voting for BillS as the most irritating (which
he to me), or me pretending that this is one big love-fest?  Both Bill
and everyone else on the list know I think that he is irritating!


	BTW, I voted for you as list dad.
