The listserv apparently didn't like that weird address.  He's on nomail now.
Why the mail was bouncing back to original sender rather than to the listserv
I don't know.  After I win PCH sweepstakes and retire, I'll explore such
things.  And yes, I'm gonna win.  My entry will not end up in garbage can.
And I always order when I enter.  Never did believe that non-orderers have
a chance.  That's why I'm haunted with piles of unread magazines all over
my house.

Keep those installments coming, Gib!

If I've been quiet about having WHTMINJ dedicated to me, it's not
because I'm not properly moved.  It's just that I've never had a
belletristic honor like this before, and I don't know quite how to act.

How can I get discreet mention of this into my promotion file?  Short
of sending copies of the dedicatories to the front office, which might
<reveal too much>.  Just an entry under OTHER in my CV?  How about
this format?--

I'm certain that you're not intentionally distorting Gore's
comment from the book. So, I assume that you simply have a copy
with a few hundred missing pages. May I suggest that you return
it and try reading at least the preceding pages if not the

The reason I believe that gas stations round figures to .009 of a dollar is
marketing. Buyer behavior surveys say that people are happier to pay

Greetings,

The debate is rolling again in the background.  I notice a couple of
things in Bush's manner.  Those who saw the debate will recall that a
young woman asked the three musketeers how the "debt" had affected them
personally.  Bush got out of the script for a few minutes and protested
that one doesn't have to have cancer to understand the feelings of
cancer victims, etc.  Then he concluded by thanking her for the opportunity
to "clarify" this (as if he had).  I think in this instance, and in a
couple of other instances, he slipped into his "press conference" style,
forgetting that he was dealing with real citizens as opposed to Sam
Donaldson.

I wonder if Bly knows that Confucius meant "person" by "man."  I don't
think women are usually invited to beat tom-toms and enter the sweat
tents in the woods with Bly and his buddies.  But that's right... Bly's
men are working on their family relationships by weekending in the woods

I have no basis for judging what "Bush supporters" would think, Jim.
There is the little problem that heavier taxation would make
investing here, rather than, say, in Poland, less attractive.  I
agree, it's not "sliming" to overlook that inconvenient problem ...
overlooking inconvenient problems is part of the art of getting

   and I spose you could put benwaballs and buttplugs in the same place,
but most would use them in adjacent orifices....

Premature, ggs: when *will* you learn to think things through?  Just

   Well, better than I expected, actually.  And as much as I like basketball,
you can only stand to watch so many spiffy plays and shots....which had
me wondering "wonder if that was take 53 or 93 in order to get that shot
made".....and it was too long....not just from basketball shots....coulda
been cut from 119 (i think) to about 89....and the hustle/counterhustle/
countercounterhustle was surely predictable, having seen other similar
movies....and he surely never had the REAL hustle down....cuz if its done
RIGHT the victim doesn't know he's been hustled....
