	Hey man, come into the information age!  Though the University
of Lowell is fucked in many ways (not the least being subjected to
a hostile takeover by the UMASS system), they've been doing automated
class registration for years.  So did the University of Delaware
when I was there six years ago.

	Why are you *even* wasting time with lines?  I agree with
the students here.  Afterall, the entire purpose of the SAT's is
to determine whether or not you can fill out a bubbleform.

Fondly remembering the Blizzard of '78, when we didn't have school
for two weeks because none of the roads were passable.  Well, except
for us 'cuz we just hitched the horses up to a sleigh and went to
the store for everyone that way. My best friend Stefie and I were
very mature 10 year olds.  Well, ok, we were the only ones in the
neighborhood who knew how to drive horses.

Oh, Hurricane Gloria was neat too.  Except I had to work during it.
Alumninum siding has definate de-capitation potential during high
winds.  No electricity for a week kinda sucked, but, like, hey,
we survived.

Wanna hear more storm stories?  I got a million of them.. Last
year's Hurricane Bob was a big disapointment.  EFF didn't even
lose it's T1 (I know cuz I stayed online the whole time).

 Gee thanks.  *Dozens*?  *Women* only?  I guess I'll have to include
something to make it interesting to the men also, huh?  Like the time I
was carrying an armful of journals, some of which were in spiral
notebooks, and was making my way down the hall smiling profusely at all
passersby because they were all smiling profusely at me (we may be crazy,
but we're friendly) only to be met by my one true student friend in the

of those notebooks and your underwear is showing."

was Bernard3. Next Harwell and the Plane. I shrunk Bernard, put him
in black and white, and cut and pasted him into the picture with Anne.
He now lies contentedly on his pillow under the plane, as abh rests
her hand on the plane's beak.
Then I checked out the picture of Natalie's house with Honda in carport.
The scene was already covered with snow, so I didn't bother to
doctor it further. Am going to northern Vermont over the weekend,

I sit on the floor and pick my nose

Of dragons who dress in rubber clothes
  and trolls who do it in teams.

I sit on the floor and pick my nose

For a goblin who goes in for a few no-nos

And all the while I sit and pick

Of whips and screws and leather slacks
  Of frottages and stings.

I went to private school for most of my education, and it didn't

partly because it was Catholic education.  The undergrads I met at

>Dworkin hating men? ;-)

Thank you for that lovely introduction, Anne, but wasn't it you who pointed
out to me that given her appearance, her attitudes towards men don't matter
much?  I've only read two books, Right Wing Women, which I recommended to
Anne, and Women-Hating.  I guess I have to say that while it isn't clear to
me that Dworkin hates men, that it's fairly clear that she believes that men
hate women.  I find her convincing.  I also think that I missed the beginning
of this conversation so I have no idea what we're talking about. Oh, this *is*
like my bar behaviour!!!

No offense meant, Nancy (or Doris).  I was responding to the rash of posts
stating their intention to enroll their children in private schools.  I gave
the NE as an example, since that's the region I'm familiar with.

Bubbleforms?  I thought everything was done by pushing telephone buttons
now.  If students in Mississippi register by punching buttons on their
telephones, surely students other places have been doing it for fifteen
years.
