No, Biff is a real person.  He was a co-worker with me at a summer job I had
in the summer of 1989.

>Summary: Can we say "Bruce wastes time", boys and girls?

No, for boys and girls are not taught things which constitute unwarranted
extrapolations.  Refer to my daily routine and then your point will have been
proven null.

I've seen plenty of real life, more than you could ever imagine seeing.  Rice
University tends to prevent individuals from seeing real life.

In other words, you were misinformed, for I do not clutter State College/
University Park at all.

You work there; it makes no difference where you were when you wrote it, for
Rice University is a living hell.  Everywhere within a 100 mile radius of
Houston is a living hell.  Perhaps you posted from the Gulf of Mexico.

No, informed individuals need not be booted in the head.  Informed individuals
inform the misinformed, which I see you are again.

DOA is irrelevant.  DOI is not irrelevant.  DOA has nothing to do with the
current discussion.

The only job you have is that of a typical bureacrat basting in his bunghole.
Nobody can prevent me from having a job.
