  In the whole period of convict transportation, The Crown shipped
  more than 160,000 men, women and children in bondage to Australia.
  This was the largest forced exile of citizens at the behest of a
  European government in pre-modern history.  Nothing in earlier
  penology compares with it.  In Australia, England drew the sketch
  for our own century's vaster and more terrible fresco of repression,
  the Gulag.  No other country has such a birth, and its pangs may be
  said to have begun on the afternoon of January 26, 1788, when a
  fleet of eleven vessels carrying 1,030 people, including 548 male
  and 188 female convicts, under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip
  in his flagship -Sirius-, entered Port Jackson or, as it would presently
  be called, Sydney Harbor.

Twice in the past week I've received wonderful gifts from list
people.  And it's not even my birthday!  I am most appreciative of
the gifts and of the kind thoughtfulness behind the gifts.  In case
others would like to know, my birthday is approximately April 15.
Surely Tushar is going to note that in his calendar...

Subject:      Dirty Rice Mix
Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

  A thoughtful wordsler, who shall remain nameless (doomo arigatoo
gozaimasu!), has sent me a genuine Dirty Rice Mix New Orleans Style
from Zatarain's, since 1889 the leader in authentic New Orleans
cooking. I am now in a position to state authoritatively what's in
dirty rice: rice, onions, salt, green bell pepper, hydrolyzed
vegetable protein, spices, monosodium glutamate, caramel color.
Accept no substitutes!

  As it happens, the nearby store where I buy most of my food offers a
"Cajun-flavored" chicken. When the translation is finished and sent off
to the publishers, I'll celebrate with a meal consisting of "Cajun
chicken" and dirty rice. There isn't any Jax to be had here, so I'll
have to compromise a bit. On the other hand Robicheaux, when he was an
alcoholic, drank a lot of Wild Turkey, and we do have Wild Turkey.

Once a man was taking a walk.  When he stood under a tree, a very
large, multicolored bird proceeded to shit on his head.  Someone said,
"You can't remove that birdshit or you'll die.  Sorry about that."
The victim was furious.  "That's...<ridiculous>!  I'm gonna go wash my
hair immediately."  He did, and of course, he immediately dropped
dead.  The motto?  IF THE FOO SHITS, WEAR IT.

Some words don't have origins, you know. Like the universe, they are
just suddenly there, with a bang or a whimper.

Webster says origin unknown also, but for the human variety it
gives the german word: 'schurke' meaning scoundrel.

I couldn't find any specific information on the sea wasp, but I don't think
it is a very large jellyfish. OTOH a Portuguese Man O'War is not a true
jellyfish, it is actually a colonial creature - a colony of many small polyps.

that a four bedroom cottage (well, "cottage" is maybe not the best word)
with 3 1/2 baths, jacuzzi, a/c two tvs, a microwave, a vcr, a view of
the ocean, and lots of other cool features rents for 1,050 bucks
in season.
Hey, sounds like the big chill or something doesn't it?

The first Mothers' Day (or is it Mother's Day?) that I was a mother my
husband gave me a huge plant for our foyer, one he had been eying for a
long time.  His is the green thumb in this household and I am the one who,
at that time, knew a rose from a daisy and that is about the extent of it.
My feelings were hurt big time because I knew it was for himself really,
and even his "but the best gifts are supposed to be the ones you would
like yourself" didn't sooth my ruffled feathers.  But I did remember his
philosophy, and for Fathers' Day he received a lovely dress I had been
eying for a long time.

AUUGGHH.  Please, don't inflict that on Hillary, even though you hate her
politics/guts/whatever.  That's the one aspect of the "beauty" regime I
just don't get.  The thought of periodically pulling out eyebrows from the
roots sends shivers down my spine.  Sadly, it seems to be all the rage now
- has anyone noticed the models in recent issues of Harper's Bazaar?  They
have been sporting extra extra thin eyebrows that look quite ghastly (imo).

The design consists of two lines of text. The top line is about 1.5 inches
hich, Helvetica Compressed type, saying "words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu." All
lower case--this looks marvelous in HelvComp, and the '@' signstands out
strikingly, due to the way this font works.

The second line is the phrase -DON'T SWEAT THE DETAILS-, written in a
brisk hand, all caps, a stark contrast to the control and form of the
typeset line.

All in all, the effect is not unlike what one might see in a used textbook.

Or that's what I think.

> Comments: Portland is first on my list because I've never been there,
            have wanted to see that part of the US for a while, and
            happen to have an airline 2-for-1 coupon good for any
            AC flight from Toronto to SFO or LAX, so we would probably
            fly to SF and meander up the coast to Portland.

            The other places are ranked according to interest and
            accessibility.  I've never been to NC either.

            I will post some thoughts on Toronto separately.

PS I know this thread is ancient history, but I'll go pop into the
Indian market around the corner if you really want to know the price
of Saffron 'round these parts.  I need some to make paella anyhow.
