I agree it was tasteless and horrible, although SNL makes fun
of everybody. I don't believe they singled out homosexuals.
The issue facing our new President is whether to let homosexuals
into the military and they attempted to capitalize on it. I think
they felt they could get away with this, because sadly, most of the free
United States of America is homophobic. If it bothers you then
write a letter to NBC.

There is some little I-don't-know-what in this which strikes me as

By the way, Don seems to be showing slightly different - dare I say

Natalie, I hardly live in a metropolitan area, but we have two cab
companies.  They charge $2.50 for anywhere in town, $6 to the airport, or
the train station.  (The airport is about 10 miles away, the train station
$15.)  I couldn't get a flight back from Kansas City after Thanksgiving,
so I've hired a car and driver, for $30 more than the plane fare. Part of
what supports the cab companies is the large elderly population.

Btw, I was glad I don't drive a car yesterday when I went out to our new
Walmart Superstore.  It just opened Wednesday, and traffic was backed up
w/ people trying to find a place to park.  I was able to slip in and out
without having to wait for traffic.

Subject:      Why You Shouldn't Clean Out Files When Tired
Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

I just did something really *STUPID*.  I've been in a Ra house-cleaning
mood lately since I have so much junk stored on it that I can't ever find
anything.  I just looked at my WORDS-BIOS/ directory and was thinking that
it was from back in the days when I kept double copies of important things
in case I screwed something up.  So I deleted all the files in the
directory.  Suddenly I realized that the double copy of that stuff was
kept on my own computer and that I had deleted that copy ages ago.  I used
the files in WORDS-BIOS/ every time somebody sent a new bio -- I would edit
out the headers, put it in that directory, and recombine all the files.
Now they're all gone.  <sigh>  I don't mean that your bios are gone from
ftp space.  That file is fine.  But I guess I'm gonna have to come up with
another method of adding to it.  I have a feeling I might even learn
something (something in addition to learning that I shouldn't delete stuff
on Ra when I'm tired -- Ra doesn't have cute devices like Norton Utilities
to undo such stupid acts).  What I may learn is how to use vi to poke a
new bio into the file of existing ones.  I've never bothered to figure out
how to do that since I've never really needed to.  It seemed just as easy
to poke it into the directory and cat file file file > combined.

But it was still a *STUPID* thing to do.  I think I'll quit tonight's
Ra-cleaning activities.

Greetings,

Mention of Rhodes, Celeste, and Voinovich reminded me of a recent article
in the Toledo Blade.  It appears that after several years of intensive
study and millions of dollars expended for research an international
panel has concluded that "adjusting" the relative levels of the
Great Lakes will be difficult to accomplish and might have adverse effects
on the environment.  This study was prompted by fears of flooding along
some lakeshores during the 1980s.  Hearings are now being scheduled around
the lake areas to explain the international panel's report to the
citizenry and ask for comments.

On another matter of Ohio interest, yesterday's Blade (I hardly ever read it,
but yesterday it was chock full of important stuff) remarked that the
recently deceased Chuck Connors once played for the Toledo Mud Hens.

Blomberg belittles wordsmith Updike's use of "reify" to mean "reduce a
person to his/her uses."  But what could be more abstract than a human
consciousness (cf. Sartre's "man is a use[-]less passion")?  And what
more reifying than to regard that person only in his/her instrumental
aspect?

As for "aporia,"  WSNID [Webster's Second New International Dictionary]
gives:

      (Rhet.) a professing, or matter about which one professes,
      to be at a loss what course to pursue, where to begin, what
      to say, etc.

_Who Killed Roger Rabbit_ is a movie that came out...when?...
about 3 years ago? It mixes live actors with cartoons.
The Red and Yellow Cars were the transit systems in
Southern California until the late 1940's. The Red
Cars were officially the Pacific Electric Railroad.
(PERY), interurban lines, running from downtown LA to
the San Fernando Valley, Long Beach, etc. LATL (Los
Angeles Transit Lines) ran the Yellow Cars within Los
Angeles "proper". The buses, which ran on other routes,
were part of LATL. I vaguely recall that you could get
transfers within lines, but not between...

I guess this movie is a prime example of what happens when people on the other
side of the "Gap" try to grok the other side's humor.  I haven't seen the
movie yet, but the Wayne's World skits on SNL are a scream.  The Dark Side
skits are funny too, if you go for that kind of humor.  Some things seem to
make that jump better than others.  Victor Borge is a skit-type humorist too,
and is definitely the previous generation [or even theone before] but he still
keeps me howling in the aisles.  Bob Hope, on the other hand, leaves me cold.
Can anyone else think of some good examples of this sort of thing?
