Jennifer, my good woman, the answer to your questions is because this is a
peeve-petual motion machine.  Our peeves are at once self-serving and self-
fulfilling.  One peeve feeds the next.  You've added grist to the mill.
If some of what you fed in kicks back into your face, remember to wear a
mask next time.

Or you could stand at a safe distance and just watch.

I move that we start pronouncing Douche the same way as Touche. For
example:

"I just got boned up the Touche by the entire rugby squad from Edinburgh"

"Wow, you're gonna need a Douche!" 

Makes perfect sense.

I second that.  I gave up putting extra salt on my food years ago
when it was supposedly good for our heart.  I did it for my heart
in the sense that Catholics might give up pea soup for lent, so I
haven't returned to my saline ways.  I really don't like things to
be salty.  In fact, I dislike the single most popular pizza topping 
in the entire world, pepperoni, for precisely the reason that it has 
too much salt.

A goat, eh?  I suppose you have a traumatic reaction to Greek restaurants
leftover from this childhood exposure.

I think the mutual net descriptions are going quite well.  If only 
everyone had Curtis's power of observation and description, GIF's

But why would you want to?  I read an article this week that said
that alcohol not only has a lot of Calories, but hinders the burning
of fat in the body.  So what percentage difference in your Caloric
content are you making by switching to diet?  Little, if any.  Scotch
has lots of Calories; if you want to avoid them do some other drug.
Don't do nutrasweet.

      Reminds of a story I once heard from the midwest.  It seems that at
the libraries of a number of small colleges in Illinois women's shoes had
been reported missing.  It turns out that a Professor of Economics at a
local college would drive to nearby schools, go to the library, and wait
for some young co-ed to fall asleep or walk away from her shoes, which he
would then take.  After he was caught, police found an Imelda Marcosian 
number of pumps and the like in his apt..  Somewhere around 4000.

Mold spores are the WORST. 

They cause me much pain, specifically sinus headaches (the kind that
feel like a brick is hitting your forehead when you lean over).
And they make my body feel like it consists of liquid mercury and
all I want to/can do is sleep...

Sinus medication and ice packs don't seem to help much.  
Maybe my only other option is to wait for it to dry up here
(or get cool!). 

I guess I may be waiting a LONG time.

Yeah, full agreement on this one.  Like those hunger strikers, in

I'm sorry Marianne - it's the frustration you know (Kev's gone to a
conference in France)

!Peeve;  Hopefully he'll bring back lots of nice bottles of wine. 
However, I haven't forgotten the last time he went to a conference in
France - it was the first time he'd ever flown which I found pretty
amazing;  Anyway, British Airways managed to send him on his connecting
flight back to Newcastle from Heathrow ok but they sent his luggage to
Buenos Aires.  

How the hell did they manage that?  It's a different TERMINAL!

Some Argy muchachos therefore drank 4 bottles of extremely nice wine and
smashed the other one for effect.  They also stole some of Kevin's SOCKS
(which have not, I swear, been subjected to the above treatment but
smell as if they have).  

Anyway, I was rather enjoying indulging in some rather vomitworthy idle
chit-chat.  Pleeeeze don't send me to alt.tasteless!!!!!!!!  They're
nasty there and have a penchant for gangrenous smells.

It doesn't take an engineer to do a lot of flipping channels.  My wife,
a history major, is aflicted with the malady also.  But what is worse
with her is that it can start up at any time, and is really anoying 
when I've gotten to the last 5 minutes of a movie an she walks into
the room, sits down, and desides to see what else is on (ARGH).

   Me: "What the &*#^ did you do that for, I was watching?"
   Wife: "But, you didn't say anything when I sat down..."

Like I'm supposed to?

By this time the climax of the ending is over...

You could have avoided this wrath by MINDING YOUR OWNING FUCKING

Ask 'em out, anyway.  The truth of the matter is it's all
perspective, anyway.  In the people I know and associate with
regularly, the set of people-taller-than-me includes one person.
The set of people-not-as-tall-as-me includes everyone else.
Breaking through that barrier of including both sets as possible
partners is the first important step.

>Heck, that's a foot and a half difference.  They almost need a stepladder
>to kiss the guy goodnight!!!

Now you've confused me.  When you kiss someone goodnight, you're
horizontal, aren't you?  How does height make a difference?

Even when us-tall-guys are standing, the amazing thing about the
human body is that it bends in several places to make up a height
difference.  It isn't quite as spontaneous, but getting bitten on
the nipple is usually a real good indication that attention is
wanted somewhere below.
