     Oh come on, you can't stereotype women like that.

     There's plenty of them that fall for the first guy

Sometimes when its late at night and I'm studying I make a connection. 
I run across a concept like generating functions which seem to appear
over an over again in various branches of study.  And I get the
feeling that I'm missing something.  Like, reality is trying to tell me
something but she's just laughing so hard for joy that the words she
says are only partly understandable.  Like, there's a symphony in the
apartment upstairs and the higher harmonics are attinuated by their
floor which is my ceiling that I can't hear the melody--only the percussion
beating out the rhythm which they all play too, and if I could only
find the door to the stairway I might hear it.

Ya know?

Which old country would that be?  The description sounds a bit like the
demonstration of the proper "skoal" technique as shown by Max Von Sydow
in a Scandinavian cookbook that I have.  

First raise your beverage (aquavit where the beverage of choice in this
case) to about chest level.  Stare into the eyes of your drinking companion
for a few seconds, then raise the glass to your lips and tip your head back
finishing the shot in one swallow.  Then lower the glass back the original
position, repeat the gaze and nod.

Q:  What is a 'boink'?
 
A:  Any publically announced gathering of soc.singles participants and
    lurkers.  Frequently these last for days and involve the flying in of
    out-of-town soc.singles celebrities.
 
Q:  How do you pronounce "Trygve"
 
A:  It's sorta like "TREEG-vah" except that the 'EE' is between a long e
    and a short i.
 
Q:  How can I learn to understand Drieux's posts?
 
A:  Drieux's posts are like Zen Koans--they're not meant to be understood,

A:  Nobody knows for sure--he was last seen on a cruise boat with the Swedish

A:  Nice guys do get laid; it's guys who whine a lot who generally don't.
 
Q:  I met a girl last week at a party; do you think she likes me?
 
A:  Yes, she likes you.  Either that or she doesn't; sometimes it's hard
    to tell with people--they're so, so, human.  If you'd like to find out
    you might want to consider asking her.
 
Q:  Just what is 'rule 6'?
 
A:  I'll have to get permission from Aahz before I can answer that one.

Touching of one's partner in public signifies whatever the hell it
wants to signify to those who are doing the touching! Who the heck
cares what other people think? If I want to hold her hand and she
wants to hold mine, it is not because we are insecure -- it is because
we like to hold each others hand!

Freud was not always right and I hate sidewalk psychologists.
Sometimes a cigar is only a cigar. I feel that inadequate intimacy,
whether in public or not, is a surer sign that something is amiss
in the relationship than too much intimacy. And if given the choice,
I would always prefer to have too much than too little -- it makes
for an interesting life!    :-)
