What makes you think smoking pot is a sin?  Some folk consider it a
sacrament.

Rogers, ken comments:
Hopefully one of those folks is piloting the jet your flying on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Such an ungenerous remark.  Many religious groups have sacraments
which would equally disqualify them from immediately piloting jets.
Including such 'innocuous' practices as extended fasting.  Your
ethnocentrism is showing.

I beg your <effing> pardon.  I am a confirmed, certifiable Mets fan,
just emerging from sitting shiva for my team, and I don't hate the
Cardinals: I thirst for their blood!  That is _not_ the same thing as
HATING them, y'understand.  Sports is profound rivalry, not hatred.  I
will never understand the New York baseball fans who root for one team
and feel obligated (therefore?) to express loathing for the other
team: whether that team is the Mets or the Yankees.  I want the
Yankees and Mets to play each other in a World Series before I am so
old that I'm asking whether the guy who made the catch in right field
was Robert Clemente because I can't tell him from Roberto Kelly!  (I
know, Kelly doesn't play right, but the name comes to mind....)

I am currently cheering for the otherwise envied Pittsburgh Pirates
(hello, Dr. Traven!) to stomp, crush, and maul the Atlanta Braves.
My kids, who are still young, cannot figure out their Old Man's
seeming act of treason.  "Dad, they beat the Mets!" they cried tonight
as I cheered when Orlando Merced drove one up the gap in left.  "No,
my little angels, the Mets committed suicide.  The Pirates did not
have to beat them!"  Someday, they will understand the distinctions
involved in Life which, as some of us know, equals Baseball.

Greetings,

My spousal unit now has an account on MCIMAIL.  I am forwarding
occasional gems from this list to her, but it's a sure thing she
isn't yet prepared for this kind of volume (and, being the sensitive,
delicate creature she is, she would certainly be shocked and dismayed
by the likes of NITEMAN, Country, and Howie-D, so I'm forced to shelter
her).  In the meantime, though, I wonder whether anyone is aware of the
existence of any lists or groups discussing cats (or dogs, for that
matter).

Those of you who wish to may post mail directly to Mary at her address,
which is 5516144@mcimail.com

Thanks,

   I, too, had "waste not, want not" drilled into me at an early age, and find I

   to re-using it, and end up throwing it out after one use. (It sits around for
   a day sometimes.)  I always fix the used sliver onto the new bar of soap, tho.

Well, thank goodness you don't use it again.  Aside from the fact that
teabags envelop an already inferior product, why don't people just have
plain hot water for all the flavor brewing a bag twice has!!  

Real tea drinkers don't use bags.  They warm the pot with a swish of
boiling hot water, add loose tea and fill with boiling H2O and let steep
for at least 10 minutes. If you pour carefully you don't really need a
strainer, but it comes in handy.  Cover pot with a tea cosy, break open the
scones or what-have-you and relish the experience.

The questions are:
1) What kind of TV program was _The Waltons_?
2) Who is "John-boy"?
3) What is the significance of "John-boy" in the script?
========================================================
    The Waltons was (hesitate to use past tense since the program
is still being shown in syndication) -- a program about a family
of 7(?) children, their parents and one set of grandparents living
during the depression in rural Walton's Mountain Virginia.  It is
based on the memories of the oldest son (and principal character)
John-boy, so-called because his father is also named John.  They
have very little money, grow their own food, run a lumber business
(family owns a lot of land on this mountain -- area settled by
ancestors) -- lots of what President Quayle would call 'traditional
family values' preached here -- probably would not be popular today --

Akio, if you want a few episodes I believe one of my cable channels
is still showing it and I could get you some episodes on tape for you
(assuming your VCRs are compatible with those here in the U.S.).

********************************
On to the regular gleanings --

10) UKTuG (Graham)
    	Guessing here, but I believe this is the United Kingdom TeX Users
Group -- TeX is a computer program used for typesetting text, originally
developed for typesetting mathematics and written by Donald Knuth for the
American Mathematical Society (not real sure if they were original
instigators but they supported his efforts and all their journals are
published using TeX) -- now used by many outside of computer science &
math departments and for non-mathematical uses -- I use it to generate
concert programs.

14) Attends/Serenity (Dan)
    	Disposable diapers for adults with incontinence problems

17) APO/FPO (Ruth H.)
    	APO refers to an army post office -- user need not know the
geographical location just the APO number

20) NSW government/XPT train (Carolyn)
    	Since Carolyn is from Australia, when I read this I assumed NSW
referred to New South Wales, one of the states/provinces (don't know the
proper name for the political divisions there) -- correspond to states here
in the U.S. or provinces in Canada.

23) Dan Rostenkwoski (John Wm.)
 	??? Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations -- one of
the most powerful committees in the House of Representatives (one part
of the U.S. federal legislature) -- in any case a long-serving very
powerful member of Congress.

24) WSJ (Marty)

I started on Lusianne while living in New Orleans just after getting
out of college.... it was cheaper because the chicory added made it
possible to make twice as much coffee from the same amount of grind.
Then, I got hooked on instant because it was so easy.  I have always
gotten great pleasure from economizing, buying the best deal on
whatever.  Tea I can't stand.  I always think I'm drinking weak
coffee.  My tc/sw, however, who does not tend to economize on
anything, saves her teabags and uses them three or four times.

It seems clear to me that here we have a classic case of tension between
the lust for firm, smooth, full-bodied young soap and the unwillingness
to callously discard the elderly soap which has been so useful, so
helpful, so cleansing and refreshing for all its life in our service.

Fortunately, the option of polysoapy is open to us.  We may without
guilt or second thoughts allow the mature soap to retire, to be employed
on only those less glamorous but no less essential tasks around the
