No, I am not. Stop trying to guess about what I am doing. More
generally, stop bullshitting your way through false statements.

Nothing etched in stone. I love traveling to new places, and NC would be a new
place (so would the 5th Circle of Hell, but I'll leave that for another trip).

Important question - what's the weather like in NC in July? Really humid, I'll
bet.

yeah, right, my tc/sw is really excited about the idea that everybody
would turn up at *her* house and snicker and point and whisper to each
other about what she *did* and *didn't* do on such and such a trip.
She just really can't wait!
Seriously, though, I agree (for once) with the pi-ugh about this.
East coast is *much* better.  I wouldn't even mind another trip to
Bristol.  The other one went so fast.
If it's Portland, *nobody* will see the MIATA!

  As Carolyn explained this over the holiday, the other four states

  Australia Day on the Monday following the actual calendar date so as

  Never mind 'irrevocable' or 'ecstasy'.  These are words without owners.
  But Hanes is a corporate entity (I forget which conglomerate it's a part

So far, I've never failed to find telnet access any place in the U.S. or
Canada that had a university (and surely there's some kind of university
in Portland), but it sure would be easier if the arrangements were made
in advance for all of us -- as Elaine did for us at Brown.  If we have
the croning in Starkville, you'll all have instant telnet access.

I think Graham's right - ( I would have replied to his message, but I
accidentally deleted it before I could) - Cluedo is the original name
of that game and it is of British origin. Why the American version
needed a name change is difficult to comprehend though?

That was fast! Croquet was right. And I'm glad that wombat is alive and kicking
again! :)

What constellation represents a hunter with club and shield?

You got a one - that gives you Geography or Entertainment.

Thank you, Peter; that's quite a compliment.  We can but try...  btw -
didn't get your coffee ration tonight, did you?  Poor dear - take two
chocolate-covered espresso beans and log in in the morning....

Peter the Damp lifts his voice above the Pacific mists to ask:

       religious bits in the inaug.?

        Don't be ridiculous.  They know he didn't mean a word of it,
and that it was just to placate the ignorant hicks who still believe in
such superstitious nonsense.  Those simpletons will believe anything.

        As there seems to be no newsgroup whose scope is perfect for the
        following, I intend to post it to several groups; but for the
        moment, I am not posting it -- I am simply including it so that you
        can judge whether or not it is appropriate for this group.

Maybe you should read the group first to see if its appropriate for you.
I bet your dog craps on your neighbours' doorsteps too...

Anyway, the group you want is alt.usage.english, and a large list like
this is part of the FAQ file which is currently under development.
Post your list under the heading 'Additions for the FAQ file' and they'll
be most grateful I'm sure.

Joan.

I can't believe this. And besides, "Peggy Noonan" rings a bell. Was she on
words-l any time?
