Hello all,

Saturday morning I'll be heading out for a week at Dartmouth Alumni College.
I won't set nomail, since a) I have a good bit of disk space free at the
moment, and b) I anticipate being able to find telnet access while there -- it
is, after all, the birthplace of timesharing.

Obviously, I won't be keeping fully up-to-date or posting with my usual
frequency (STATLG-lers breathe a collective sigh of relief).

See you 'round...

I would definitely say "wait up."  Don't know why, but that's just
the way to express the concept.  Of course the partner of "wait up" is
"slow down."  Must be another Yankee thang, as is putting butter on
meat sandwiches (yuk).

From what I saw of the 'Bake pictures, there is a group of us who
could commit numerous crimes of varying degrees of nefariousness and
beat any police lineup ever thought of because nobody could tell us

Well, the power came back up, and so did our LAN, but something
between the mailer gateway to Internet and the backbone is fubared,
so that essentially means that as far as the Inet is concerned,
our mailer still doesn't exist. So therefore, until further

I take full responsibility for this omission.  I guess, in my east-

I would use "wait" and "wait up" in different circumstances.  For some reason,
the simple "Wait" sounds more like an order while "Wait up" is a request.  At
least, I think that's how I would use them.

Let's see...

I'm walking down the street and I see a friend walking in the same direction
a block ahead.  I would yell "Hey John...John, wait up," and then I would trot
or walk quickly to where he was.

Don't ask my why.

Affairs Newsletter....

"Recently Lt. Robert Staehle was recognized at the Governor's Mansion as the
University of South Florida's outstanding employee for the Public Service
Recognition Week.
  Lt. Robert Staehle received his A.A. degree from the University of Akron,
Akron, Ohio.  He has 20 years of experience in law enforcement.   .........

  "Robert Staehle has been recognized locally and nationally for his special
endeavors.  He assisted in establishing the Date/Acquintance Rape programs at
various university police departments throughout the Nation as a result of
USF's outstanding program.  Lt. Staehle has made signifcant contributions
to the development and implementation of the University's new Victim
Advocate Program.  This new program is available to assit all USF students or
employees who are victims of actual or threatened violence, including but
not limited to, battery, assault, sexual battery (date rape, acquaintance
rape, stranger rape) and attempted sexual battery.  His efforts to help
this program are exemplary."

Lt. Staehle has developed some programs designed for male only classes....
primarily in the date/acquaintance programs ....he teaches men to really
understand when a woman means NO...and I am told his classes are well-
received and effective ....but how to you measure that kind of
effectness?  Still, he is at least one man who does make a difference.

Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

Thanks, Bayla, for remembering WILL PENNY (1968).  Not available on video,
as far as I can tell.  Nor is that John Wayne/Maureen O'Hara Western
farce MCLINTOCK! (1963), which I've been waiting for for years.  One can
imagine the front-office maneuvering that must go on here....

There's a whole bunch of Westerns that are squarely in the genre but at
the same time outside it.  CAT BALLOU comes to mind.  Here are some others:

MCCABE AND MRS. MILLER (1971; dir. Robert Altman)
   Altman already a master so early in his career.  Warren Beatty and
   Julie Christie.  It's been 20 years since I've seen this one, but
   I like to think it would hold up.  I remember a wet, green, Pacific
   Northwestish setting, lots of mud.

ONE-EYED JACKS (1961; dir. Marlon Brando)
   Weird, brutal revenge epic with lots of Brando mumbling.  Beautiful
   location shops on California's Monterey Peninsula.  The revengee is
   played sharply by Karl Malden, a bad guy turned good; for some odd
   reason, his name is "Dad."

THE LONG RIDERS (1980; dir. Walter Hill)
   Best retelling of the Jesse James legend.  Strives for a kind of
   verisimilitude -- lots of blood and gore.  Noted for using real-life
   brothers to play the gang members:  the Keaches as the Jameses, the
   Carradines as the Youngers, the Quaids as the Millers, the Guests as
   the Fords.  Soundtrack by Ry Cooder!

TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1948; dir. John Huston)
   I could watch this one every day and never tire of it.  Gold fever
   in 1920s(?) Mexico; Bogart gets the bug bad.  Another reason Walter
   Huston is revered as a character actor.  Bandit Gold Hat is the best
   stage Mexican ever.  Even those who have not seen the movie know this
   exchange by heart:

      Hey, Senor.  We are the Federales. You know, the mounted police.
      We want to buy your guns.

      If you're Federales, show us your badges.

      Badges? Badges!?  We don't have to show no stinkin' badges!

thing, and the manager instructs us to return to our room and
wait for him there.  Serious business and -ggs looks at tc
with that I-didnt-want-to-do-this thing on his face and tc
is getting very indignant with these impudent third world
inhabitants.....
40)  In the solace of their room, -ggs and tc await the manager,
who arrives with the security chief and questions us as to where
we went yesterday, where the money was when we left, if anyone else
had been invited to our room, if we had any friends in the hotel
who knew we were going (to which tc gave a list of all those who
had kissed her hubby on the cheek, but had to admit that they were
either at another hotel or had gone on the tour with us), if we
were *sure* about the money..... THEN, the security officer began
to search everything.... opening every drawer and taking out every
piece of clothing, shaking every book, looking at everything we
owned.....  and all I could think about was the hotel towel in
the zipped up suitcase and how could little -ggs explain that?
(American Professor of TC Charged with Grand Larceny by Cancun
Palace...... on the AP wire probably....)   But, the mayan gods
were smiling on our union, because when he got to that suitcase,
he *stopped*, frozen in his tracks, unable to move as if struck
by lightening, and they *left*.....   tc reported that she already
had a story planned for when they found the towel (only the mayan
gods know what *that* was) and then she went out in the hall and
found a pile of dirty towels awaiting pickup and *stole* *another*
*one* reasoning that they were worth about $20 each so we were
even.  TC is a fantastic, wonderful woman and we now have two
lovely, plush, white hotel towels in our closet at home.
