Island or continent? 

They have Bacardi commercials here that are kinda neat. They list all sorts
of Carribean islands with "official" Barcardi drinks (yeah, right), and then
say:

The moral of the story is... You live on an island... You drink Bacardi.

Ok... so it is sort of stupid, but what commercials aren't?

Russia is now the largest country. One *FUCK* of a big place. Lotsa near frozen
Ruskies! Oddly enough, Edmonton (where I went to U) and Moscow are about the 
same latitude... isn't that useful trivia! It makes for nice long summer days
though...(I won't mention the short winter ones).

Canada and Oz have a few things in common. In Oz, everyone crowds in a few
spots around the coast, and the interior is primarily desert. In Canada, 
nearly everyone crowds around the US border, and the interior and north is
largely desert. Well, not all... :-).

Point 1: You don't like their laws? What is THAT supposed to mean?

Point 2: Perhaps you Iowans can't handle roads that aren't laid out
	in a nice grid and don't run straight for 14 miles?

Point 2, continued: OK, Mass drivers are wild, but I suppose that's

There's a famous social prognosticator from New York named Faith Popcorn.
I've seen her photograph on the back of her recently-published book, so I
know that she's too old to have had that name inflicted on her by her
parents; she must've come up with it herself.  That's fine and dandy by
me because it was a conscious decision, and because I can well understand 
how a catchy name would be helpful in her line of work.

What peeves me is the way the media gloss over the bizarreness of her name 
without including some kind of sidebar about how, why and when, and under
the influence of what drugs, it was chosen.  Is she a former hippie who
dreamed up the moniker while tripping and listening to Hendrix tunes?  Did
it float to the surface of her alphabet soup one day?  Or what?

It's interesting the way the news media tend to dance around the matter
of names.  Back when the Voyager was making its record-setting nonstop
flight around the world, the name of Jeanna Yeager was in the news constant-
ly.  The natural question was, is this woman related to Chuck Yeager?  Not
once did I see any kind of acknowledgement that she shares the name of the
famous test pilot -- not even in the aviation magazines -- much less any kind
of explanation as to whether the two are releated.  So I wrote to Richard L. 
Collins, executive editor of _Flying_ magazine, and asked, "What gives?"  He 
replied that Jeanna's no relation to Chuck, and added that
"This has been referenced several times."  Like hell it had.

It's not a matter of respecting the person's privacy, because they're 
already public figures.  People who have unusual names and are in the public
eye should be ready at all times to offer an explanation on demand.

About a year and a half ago, all my friends and I went camping at a nearby
lake for the long weekend.  We met several young women there, and proceeded
to get them very drunk.  One of them heard the call of nature, and decided
to squat 'n leave it (tm) in the middle of the road.  Little did she know
that the park rangers were sitting in their truck about 20 yards away
from where she was.  They turned on their spotlight directly on her, and 
didn't turn it off.  They ended up giving her a ticket for it.  She was 
quite emBARE-ASSED.

I don't think Worcester has ever had a single tourist as such. I don't
think it even merits a mention in Fodors. Factory outlets would bring
life to the city, I think. But I can't help thinking:

Peeve: Factory outlets. You call your store a "factory outlet" and 
people will come from miles around. Why? The prices aren't really
much better. Besides, "factory outlet" implies very few stores, but
in reality it's just another store chain. Wonder how long the trend
will last...

Peeve: The Centrum has the biggest concerts in New England, but there is
NOBODY I'd shell out $20 to see. All the club acts go to Boston or
Providence or Springfield or Hartford. Not that that would be cheap,
either.

2.  People who pick their toes.  Like my sister (what?  is there another?)

3.  People who pick their nose at the dinner table.

4.  Tripping on the dog.  When I do it, he squeals like it's my fault,

5.  When my mom gives the boy dog a girl haircut (at least she doesn't

6.  Hypocrites.  Like when people talk with their mouths full of food,
