Well, none of us <admit> to it anyway....  Thunderbird was part of the
pantheon of rotgut wines that included Gypsy Rose (drink a bottle and
take off your clothes) and Night Train.  The best way to appreciate
them was to smoke some weed first, and only then drink the wine.
Drinking that stuff in a previously unaltered state was ruinous.  It
could make Mogen David Extra Heavy Malaga taste drinkable by
comparison.

It was typical Bush bumbling.  The intended phrase was
"A thousand pints of Lite".

To this day Miller Brewing is miffed that the money they
funnelled to the Republican Party in the late '80s was
for naught.

Fully one third of the recent rise in unemployment can be
attributed to the layoffs of people previously responsible
for product placement in political activity.  Even more
would be begging for money on streetcorners if it were not
for the recent successes of McDonalds and the American
Saxophone Council.

Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

  I thought I'd get Chapter 8 done tonight, but I still have four pages
to go, and I'm calling it a day. I talked to a fellow sufferer yesterday,
the translator of the second of the Robicheaux novels. He thought that
on the whole the most irritating aspect of Burke's style is his
constant insertion of vapidly poetic observations of nature.

  Mrs Burke: Did you get the wine on your way home, honey?
  Mr Burke: Yes, I went to the store on Broadway. As I parked the car
            the sky was pink like the belly of a freshly caught fish
            and in the distance the mountains looked like jagged
            ice cones. The Burgundy was more expensive than I expected.
  Mrs Burke: How nice, dear. How many bottles did you get?
  Mr Burke: There was a gray wetness in the air that seemed to push
            the willows into the ground. Five.
  Mrs Burke: Only five?
  Mr Burke: Yes, but don't forget the ones in our cellar, where the twilight
            seeps through the dirty window onto the floor like maple syrup
            onto a slice of moldy toast.
  Mrs Burke: Moldy?

  In this particular novel, perhaps the most unbearable aspect of the
story itself is the suffocating cuteness of the little girl Alafair,
who should have been strangled at birth.

I had to look this one up, Ruth.  Gene Barry starred in the 1953 George
Pal version.  I don't think I've ever seen it, but the Leonard Maltin
TV-movie guide gets quite excited about it.  Won the Oscar for best special

Elizabeth City is a relic.  Lots of old, run-down mansions from the
the days of slaves and servants.  Swamps and moss on the trees.  Lots
of charm and not much to do, but close to the Outer Banks and steeped
in a sort of historical <aura>.  The fish are tasty and the women
are lovely, as women are everywhere.
Elizabeth City has the distinction of being one of the cities
visited by -ggs on the second honeymoon that he spent with his first
wife five days before they first started talking about getting a
divorce, *and* one of the cities visited by -ggs on the first
honeymoon he spent with his second wife, the infamous tc/sw.
Neither, incidentally, knew about the <other> connection, thanks
to -ggs' sense of propriety, or rather, -ggs' brilliant but
momentary flash of good sense.
Elizabeth City, it seems, is a *historic* site.  Take the job.

  The following great principles apply, provided we are not speaking
of weird dialects in any of the languages:

  1. Most Swedes have no difficulty with Norwegian.
  2. Many Swedes will understand a Dane only if the Dane repeats every
     second sentence three times and avoids saying things like "75".
  3. Most Danes understand Swedish and Norwegian easily, but some have a bit
     of difficulty with Swedish.
  4. Most Norwegians have no difficulty at all with Swedish. They sometimes do
     with Danish, but not to the same extent as the Swedes.

  This applies only to the spoken languages. I think these great principles
are fairly accurate and easily enough explained. The languages are really
very similar, and the only stumbling block is the way the Danes pronounce
their language. People in the south of Sweden usually have less of a problem
with this. But there are many people who have settled in Sweden and learned the
language perfectly who don't understand a word of Danish.

  >Is it true that Danes and Swedes can understand Norwegian more easily than
  >Norwegians can understand Danish or Swedish and that Danes can understand
  >more Swedish than Swedes Danish?

  That Danes understand Swedish more easily than Swedes do Danish is
correct.  But the notion that Danes and Swedes understand Norwegian
more easily than Norwegians understand Danish or Swedish is incorrect.
Rather, as stated above, the Norwegians understand Swedish easily, and
tend to understand Danish a bit better than the Swedes do.

  There is an added complication in that there are actually two versions
of Norwegian, over which there have been fierce language wars in Norway.
But only the Norwegians themselves understand one iota of this controversy.

I agree that it will be almost impossible to live up to last year's standard.
One thing that has occurred to me, though, is that we don't necessarily have
to try to make it the same in the sense of a well-organized, catered event.
That was gorgeous, of course, but if we can't do it (e.g., if we decide on
a place without available or willing locals to do the necessary organizing),
we could have an event more like the pre-clambake night in Boston.  In other
words, if we make definite plans for time and place and get our bodies (and
spirits) to that place at that time, we can make our own event.  We could
easily take over a NC resort area, a hotel in Toronto, a whatever.  And we
could probably arrange pretty easily to reserve a room in a good restaurant
for an "official" event.
