  I don't like that N.C. blue, either, but you have to agree that
  it's a bold athletic fashion statement, nicht wahr?

  Condolences, Natalie.  Hell, it's just football.  Seriously as
  Mississippians take it, at least they're not as irrational about
  it as the folks next door, in Alabama.

  And aren't the Maroons on their third- or fourth-string QB?

I'm late on this one, is this thread still going on?  There is a
company in Raleigh named Fails Investment Service, which is very
successful.  There is a counseling psychologist in Chapel Hill named
Dr. Reckless.  I once knew a dentist named Dr. Hole.

Well.....actually Dan, the BUCS lost....both teams were desperately trying
to avoid scoring, but the Sun Devils just tried harder.  After the fine
effort last week against the 49's (which in my mind the Bucs won), not
surprising to see then end the season in typical Buc fashion.  Oh, well

She was an opera singer; you tell me.:-)  She was a famous one in her day,
so finding foods named for her isn't too surprising.  I use melba toast
as a cracker sometimes; it's not too bad.  Zweibach [zweiback] is something

CompuBooks has it all, and they're exceptionally friendly people (and you
get 15% off retail, too).  GO CBK I think.

You may want to try the PC/Mac mail-order houses too; I know at least one
of them has the Krol book for sale.

  This is unreasonable on several counts. First, how could any
purveyor of tripe possibly wait for you to solicit the tripe before
delivering it?  That's not how things are done in this world. Second,
why should it be more difficult to apply a manual kill procedure to
religious tripe than to other kinds (which you don't complain about)?
Third, you are simply being too sensitive! We can't all go around
carefully sifting through our tripe for religious references before
sending it out just to avoid offending you.

There are quite a few things that we are not allowed to grow in our backyards

rhus tree; wandering jew; lantana; and, of course, marijuana, to name but a

Last week's MacWeek went into great detail regarding some of the
brain-dead features of the IIvx; I'd stay away from it unless the idea of
an internal bay is just too tempting. There are undocumented features
(bugs) in the way the video and stereo sound works, and the internal scsi
bus uses nonstandard termination, meaning upgrades will be more expensive
than standard Mac scsi devices. They made it sound like a LCII with a fast

Actually, it fits right in.  Did you light the black candles and kill the

I just hope you were wearing the black satin cape with the white lining;

No problem.  Just think of a worn-out Brillo pad.  Or don't you have those?
It's a pad of steel wool, all twisted and knotted; they're used to scrub

it's *very* difficult to comb.  I say worn-out because when they're old,
they get lumpy.:-)
