From: Jenny Mueller-Alexander
      Reference Librarian/Business Subject Specialist
I have a student who needs 5 or more years of OAG fare data. We keep only the
current issue of OAG-N. Am. Edition of the fares. Does anyone have the
preferred years of 1987 - present? Any 5+ year run since 1980 will be helpful.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Subject:      economic bulletin board

I am not sure where I read this information, but I have just learned to
sign on to the "gopher" at University of Michigan which gives me access
to the files of the Economic Bulletin Board in Washington.  This source
is fantastic in the amount of data and text files which can be downloaded.

If you have not seen this announcement or have not tried to do so yet,
I suggest the following for economic and business information:

ftp una.hh.lib.umich.edu

Check with your individual institutions for the FTP protocol.

Have other libraries gotten a letter from Mead Data Central compalining about
"commercial" use of the database under an educational subscription. I hope
everyone will write to Mead to inform the company of whatever measures are
being taken to safeguared your systems. I did so and also tried to explain
that faculty research cannot always be catagorized neatly into "curricular"
and "professional." Perhaps if a number of us write, Mead will get the idea.
Frankly, I wonder if they knew what they were getting into when they decided
to offer a product to universities.

As for Damp Buddhist, you have the wrong materials; those, when dried,
cut into flakes, smoked for a day, then stuffed into tiny paper rolls,
positioned carefully around a hexagonally-shaped room, and lit, will

Well, geez, Dana.  You're talking about a guy who can actually FUCK UP
DAN RATHER'S BRAIN through the TV camera, and not incidentally, could
lead the MIGHTY ATLANTA BRAVES to their second consecutive national
league title and an awe-inspiring WORLD SERIES VICTORY.  Can you fuck

Rather's brain really necessary?  No, the real point here is the
Braves, and what each and every one of us can do, right in our own
communities, to ensure their GLOBAL HEGEMONY.  If that means brown-nosing
some glowing-eyed, spike-tailed infernal fiend (and I can only assume
that this gentleman's external attributes are commenserate with his

ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that Barry Larkin never, ever hits another double

Many people agree with.  The Hermanites are a small sect over here, but
their numbers are increasing rapidly, in spite of vicious, systematic
persecution.  I trifled with the idea of joining myself, but the sect's
dogmatic insistence on limiting the American consumer's choice of
breakfast cereals to Frosted Sugar Smacks and Quisp put me off.  We
Americans are very proud of the wide variety of Breakfast cereals
available to us; the Hermanites' obscurely-motivated stand on this
matter is probably a leading factor in the pograms now sweeping most of
the larger east-coast cities.

Sure, we've got a population of 65 million, but I know everyone of them

of towns/hamlets/villages, not _one_ of them is more than 10 miles from

Well that's that out of my system.

Subject:      Shave your kidneys, mister?

I'm still not sure what this list is for, but I have a question which is
bothering me and this may just be the place to get an answer.

I was in a 7-11 because I had the munchies and I wanted some crisps (chips
to you. And what we call chips, you call fries. Which just proves what I've
always said about America. And furthermore I don't think that any country that
could come up with 'My Two Dads' should be entrusted with nuclear weapons).

Anyway, I was looking for quantity primarily, and the biggest bag I could
find was something called "kettles Crisps, American extra crunchy style" or
something like that. I had to make a snap decision because I was standing near
some fishing magazines, and those pictures of men holding up huge, bloated,
bleeding fish make me aroused, and this wasn't the time or the place.
So I bought these things, and I wish I bloody hadn't because they were like
slivers of sharpened titanium or something. I mean _really_ hard and sharp.
I couldn't taste them either because my mouth was lacerated and all I could
taste was blood.

This brings me onto my question:

DO YOU PEOPLE HAVE SPECIAL _MOUTHS_ OR SOMETHING?

I think 'nistley' has a erudite, theatrical ring.

Whiplash? Sausages? It's just like being at my club!

Damn these skin grafts.

Have you the formula for whatever it is you're on? I've got this friend
who's a chemist....

Well, he would be if he wasn't a horse.

Tell me the purpose of this list.....NOW!
