Actually, most of the pictures of me are these terrible things taken
at the top of some wind blown, usually ice-capped, peak.  None of
them are very good unless you are into the tired, poorly dressed and
very dirty look.  The fashion police would have a fit as well since
I wear loud clashing colors when I climb to make a helicopter rescue
easier should one become necessary (luckily, none so far in spite of
the various broken bones and the blown knee suffered while climbing).

Tom Chatt has the one picture of me which I really don't mind too much.
He posted about it here as the start of the calphalon thread (yes, I am,
in addition to everything else, into cooking).  He might be able to
be persuaded to send it to Steve for scanning, but alas, he is busy
elsewhere in the country right now and might not see this.  I will ask
him when he pops back onto this coast.

I like it better than the REAL slippery

It also doesn't seem to freeze up and need

Sargon is a fool and I ignore him entirely.  In Melmoth's *very*
*first* posting here (or, in any case, the first that made it to
my site) he wrote offensive, insulting things *about* *me*.  He 
later went on to express his Uncle Tom politics, and was criticized 
for it, but his stock in trade is a nasty viperishness.  I don't
particularly care for his brand of bitchiness, since he so clearly
puts no thought into what he says, so I've taken to ignoring him
entirely, too (except for one dig on ba.motss).  The Kentucky
Kreep was fun for a day or two, although he deserved what he got.

Brent this is you second mistake (like I should be throwing stones, but
you are just only a baritone!!!).

Multnomah County Library didn't come out against Measure 9.  The library
association did.   The county cannot take sides.  The wonderful
"Censorship" display in the library is coincedence.  It isn't the 
counties display it is hosted by the ACLU.  

Another library tid bit, periodicals, where I work, just got the copy of 
the Advocates 25th anniversary issue. Inside the pull out section, which we 
have always stapled to the magazine, there are several photos men and their 
nicely erect dicks!  Boy is our supervior's hair going to turn gray Monday
morning when she get's in!!!!  

And Toyota has a full page advertisement in it with two men, a car
and two dogs and the header is "Family Car".  Wow, I never thought
I would see that.

Oh, I get it!

There are people facing AIDS, and some of them are gay, so AIDS is a
gay issue and we should include it.

There are people dieing because they can't afford healthcare and their
same-sex lover can't get them covered by their company's benefits
package, and some of them are gay, so national health care reform is a
gay issue and we should include it.

It seems to work for me.

Well, maybe someone should point out that groups aren't being

plank then you have reason to go.

I was at the '87 march.  Believe me, you don't want to miss the '93

I believe it says I need to go back to Terre Haute and open a better
gay bar!  (Or, at least, a gay all-ages nightspot.  Or, at least, a
tiny record store where all the gayfolk can congregate.  Wait... I
tried that one, and it didn't work.  Never mind.)  :-)

Seriously, though, the tradition of gay system managers at Rose dates
back (not continuously, of course) at least as far as class of 1981,
even if I didn't know it at the time.  That last year, there were also
two operators who came out to me.  I look back at the previous
managers I knew from 1978, 1979, and 1980 and, if I remember
correctly, they're all quite happily married.

The sad truth behind all this, however, is that Rose-Hulman can still
be incredibly homophobic in places... what you'd expect from one of
the last all-male engineering colleges (soon to go co-ed) in the
country.  It's entirely possible that, 11 years ago, if Rose had had a
more tolerant attitude, this system manager might have come out then,
as opposed to eight years later.

As we're seeing here, though,us gay Rosefolk keep sprouting up all
over the place... what's going to happen when one of us finally brings
a significant other to those "Alumni Wives" affairs that continue to
annoy me every time I read the alumni newspaper??

     Excuse me if this has been covered already, but here is my understanding:

     "Faggot" is, in fact, a word of French origin describing the kind of
small sticks used as kindling wood to start a larger fire, of the type used
for public execution by "burning at the stake". The victims were accused
and/or admitted homosexuals, atheists, "witches", "heretics", and other
enemies of the church-state, prior to the Enlightenment.

Go on, admit it.  You posted that just to get a rise out of George
Madison.  And if it doesn't work, I'll eat my chocolate hob-nob
biscuit which an English colleague was kind enough to donate after a
recent visit to more civilised climes, and which I am keeping to

Actually I saw a thingy on waxing on TV not long ago (chez Alex, I of
course am too genteel to have a TV) and I must say I did prefer the
before to the after.  Though I am much too pure and innocent ever to
have slept with a man, I have definitely preferred not sleeping with
an hairy man than with a smooth, other things being equal, which they
never are.
