Peeve: people who bitch about "lifestyles."  Anyone who worries
about other peoples' lifestyles has got far too much time on
his hands thank you very much.  The rest of us poor sods have
enough trouble worrying about our own.

I don't care what you fuck or why you fuck it and I expect you
to extend the same courtesy to me.  

Or I'll hunt you down and spear you in the kidneys with my

was being a nosy asshole and not minding his own business.  Eh?

There is only one problem with that.  You can't neglect the air
resistance!  If you want your fancy physics formulas to work in the real
world, you must not discard pieces of them.  Nay, they must be followed
to the letter, and if an effect is to be deemed insignificant, its
magnitude must first be known.

This happens every few weeks: I'll be sitting on the couch, watching the
news, and my cat, sitting nearby, will bug its eyes out and start tracking
something that appears to be in the air above and behind my head.

I whirl around, checking for moths, flies, gnats, and descending spiders.
There's nothing there.  The cat stares at the wall now, slowly moving its
gaze upwards.  I don't see a damn thing.  "What is it?  What!!!"  Is there
some kind of new stealth-insect that only the cat can detect?

I think the cat's just playing with my mind.

Which reminds me of the PV544 I saw during the first year of SCCA's sedan

	Now wait just a minute there. In a football game, there is at
least a significant chance of one of the principles suffering a serious
injury.  Inaugurations are much worse. When was the last time someone
was paralyzed while being inaugurated. One president died a long time
ago, but nothing in recent years. I doubt any president has ever broken 
a leg ala Joe Thiesman(*) during an inauguration.

ObPeeve: Joe went on to become one of the most annoying announcers
on TV. Too bad the injury couldn't have prevented him from ever
speaking again.

(*)For the American football impaired, Joe was the quarterback for the
Washington Redskins several years ago. His career ended when he was
sacked and had his leg broken in spectacular manner. Now that was a
games worth watching. The injury involved his leg flopping around in
all sorts of unnatural positions. Of course, the TV crew showed it
about a hundred time from different angles in slow motion. As I
remember, there was a great deal of blood and might have been a bone
shard or two visible. This, however, might just be my overactive
imagination projecting the injury I would have liked to have seen
on this event. I haven't seen the tape of this in years.

Hey! Waitaminnit! I gotta Datsun 510 that stalled in rain all over the place
until I finally fixed it, not just in intersections.

ObPuzzler: The car, a 1972 Datsun 510 Estate, would run fine in a light

bronc with a thorn in its scrotum and then die. I could pull over to the side

throttle, after which treatment it'd run OK, until I got back on the road.

It wasn't an ignition problem, as I found later.  The first listener who

Peeve: (with disclaimer -- I love those guys anyway) the Grateful Dead
always seem to schedule their shows around here on weekdays, which is
a pain for those of us whose concept of heavy traffic is having to
wait through two changes of a stoplight.  Of course, when they have
them on weekends, the large ancient vehicles with a top speed of about
40 tend to confuse the usual bay area traffic of Hondas and Mustangs
that can cross 3 lanes in less than a second.  Oh well, I've heard
it's a lot worse when they tour -- sitting for hours on a 2-lane
highway in the middle of nowhere, to get to a parking lot that holds
a thousand cars for an arena that holds 20,000 people...

Anyway, I have a show to go to, later on dude.
