When was Steve Dallas a parent?  (That he admitted to.)

Peeve: I thought I knew *everything* about Bloom County.

!Peeve: This gives me an excuse to get all of my Bloom County books
and re-read them.

You sure do. We are on stream for four of these peacemaker subs. Them thar 
Argies won't be gunning for our Falkland Islands again!

Anyway wasn't it on the news? The first sub was delivered to Scotland quite
recently. 

But I suppose the news was snuffed out by the news that our wonderful
Government had decided that Colombian coal mined by children was better
than home produced stuff mined by Real Men(tm). And thus sack 30000 miners!

Good to see the American networks have their priorities right when it comes

Oh MAN does this hit it right on the head.  There are 3 stations in this
area that play decent music (I mean pre-1977 music), and *all* of them have
a pair of DJ's that just love to hear themselves talk and think that they
are great wits.  I have about a 20-minute drive to work in the morning, and
it's not unusual for me to come all the way in and hear just one song for

!Peeve:  I finally found the courage last night to tell Greg that
I can't be married to him any more.

Peeve:   Knowing that I hurt someone that I love and care about an
awful lot, but who I can't live with any more.  Seeing him in tears
and knowing that if it weren't for me, he wouldn't be crying.

!Peeve:  It didn't get out of control.  I was really afraid it
would.  A lot of our fights have been spiralling way out of control
lately, and the abuse we've been hurling at each other has crossed
the line between verbal and physical.  Greg doesn't seem to think
that's much of a problem, but then again, he's bigger than I am and
probably bruises less easily.

Peeve:  Knowing that I'm gonna have to pack everything I own into
boxes and move.  At least (hopefully) it'll give me some amusing
peeves to post, instead of this type of maudlin self-indulgence.

!Peeve:  People'll finally stop saying what a perfect couple we
are, and how well-suited we are to each other, and how lucky I am
to have found a guy like Greg, who has my sense of humor, and my
tastes in music & art & film, and who is intelligent and sensitive
and who puts the seat down.

Peeve:   The facial expressions of all the people who've been
saying what a perfect couple we are when they find out that we're
splitting up, because I haven't had the courage to talk to anyone
about our problems unless there was a computer between us.

Before too many more citizens pass this way to have a few ceremonial
thunks at Mr. Franklin's metaphorical noggin, let us pause for a
moment and offer up a heartfelt "Thanks, Dude!" to whatever mysterious
Agency it was that sent him here.  He has a long way to go to achieve
memorability, but the kid has promise.  It doesn't happen often, but
when a newcomer demonstrates the combined qualities of boorishness,
condescension, witless insult-mongering, and fresh-out-of-the-nutrient-
tank cluelessness, a Peevetown legend is in the making.  I can hear the
objections already: "He's no Jeff Mortenson, buddy, and Denise Caire
makes him look pathetic by comparison".  Well, yes, but these things
take time.

Hang in there, Steve.  You've got a chance to make a name for yourself.

I had email from one of them. It started promisingly enough. Words,

It didn't really work out though. They can simulate sentences, but they

They're about as useful as teats on a boar.  The only real advantage I
