  Sure you can. Just use wildcards in the ordinary way. To grep for

blaha Zonk/*".

         9) Harry Lander/Secombe (Graham)

Harry Lauder is an ersatz Scotsman (ie not a real Scotsman - he's from
Glasgow, and hammed it up on the stage - what we call a 'stage Scotsman')
who was famous in the music halls about a hundred years ago.  Harry Secombe
(nee hee, Neddy!) is a modern Welshman of similar disposition who also
sings a lot.  Badly.  More famous to older radio listeners as one of
the Goons.

        18) To pass the conch (Graham)
In William Golding's "Lord of the Flies", the children hold meetings while
sat in a circle, and the one holding a conch shell was the only one allowed
to speak.  To allow someone else to speak, that person had to be handed
the conch shell.  This is the basis, incidentally, of the Cambridge Ring
architecture which it predates by several years.  In Cambridge, the token
in the token ring is often joking called the 'conch'.

        19) Contact card (Graham)

Keep your fingers crossed you never need to know what this means.

A (probably fictional) book of black magic spells.  Several libraries

A couple of years ago there was a small scandal in the papers about the
post office here.  Evidently a woman out west (Calgary I think) mailed a
letter to a friend in Nova Scotia, addressed in French, and had it
returned rubber-stamped "ADDRESS MUST BE IN ENGLISH".  This caused
outrage in the (tiny) Francophone community in Calgary, since the Post
Office is required to offer bilingual service nationwide. The
idea that someone had made up a rubber-stamp with this wording fueled
thoughts of anti French sentiment sanctioned by government.

The investigation disclosed that the woman had used N.E. as the
abbreviation for Nouvelle Ecosse (Nova Scotia in French), and
the post office had routed it to the US thinking it meant Nebraska.
Someone there stamped it - making me think that it probably is
official US post office policy that addresses must be in English.

Now why Nova Scotia should be translated into French is another
question - we don't say New Scotland in English, after all.

I didn't remember that that was why...I just grew up with the idea that
that was what you did.  When we moved to Alabama, my children were among
the few in the neighborhood who played inside in the air conditioning
between noon and about 4 p.m., but I had definitely taken the idea to heart.

I'm not positive that will be Faculty Council day.  Normally it's the 2nd
Friday of the month, and it's listed on this year's schedule of dates as
March 12.  Since that falls during Spring Break, however, I'm guessing it
will be changed to the 19th.  That's what usually happens.  I might also
consider missing the March 19 meeting since (1) croning is a once-in-a-
lifetime occasion, and (2) that will be my lame-duck FC meeting since it's
the last meeting of my 2nd 3-yr term and you aren't eligible for election
to a 3rd consecutive term -- the new members will have been elected by
March 19 and will be at that meeting to be introduced -- and lame ducks
don't need to pay much attention to new committee assignments etc.

Starkville is still fine with me as the croning site, though.  We'll then
have the question of where in Starkville.  My backyard?  The County Lake?
Somewhere on campus?  Hmmmm.  I know of a good place:  the Computing Center
machine room...  But being allowed in there would require some special
string-pulling.

I would suspect Fleance, but it might also be Donalbain.  Since this was

	Thanks, Nancy!  We've got a couple recipes for sugar cookies.  Maybe

Sorry, Adam, that you didn't know, but I tried sending you a private
message about it, hoping that you & Ruth might want to come in together.
I used the return address that was in your New Year's message from work,
but it bounced.  Can someone post an address that has worked (recently)?

Since we did not watch Brad's movie, we have a reason for another gathering.
Maybe sometime after Rita gets back from her honeymoon?

Close enough.:-)

I like "Down in the Depths [On the 90th Floor]", "Night and Day", and 
"Begin the Beguine" better, but it is a bit hard to rank them....
