>Now, that was the 3rd of February, right?

No, no, no, no, *NO*!
The 3rd of February is the scheduled date for the Board of Inquiry
(Walter A. Ericson, CAPT, USN presiding) into alleged misconduct in the
case of R. P. White, LT, USN.
This will be held at the historic and scenic old Hotel Del Monte in
Monterey California.
All are invited to attend as observers or to attest to his good character
and sterling qualities. It should be enlightening, if not hysterical,
experience and a good time is promised for all.

so i'm misanthropic and misogynistic in particular.  people disgust me.
i disgust myself.  i can't see how anyone can really like or love anyone
else, let alone him/her/itself.  there's always something else to it.  i
dated a woman once who kept making incisions in my veins and draining out
my blood, not even because she was a vampire which would have at least been
interesting, but because she wanted to make blood puddings.  another woman
loved me only for my collection of dresden -- not the porcelain but the bits
of corpses resulting from the allied bombing, preserved in rhum or vodka.
yet another loved me for my 1975 olds toronado and my omega seamaster watch:
both of them reminded her of her father, whom she secretly wanted to have
sex with, and when she came to me with a list of surgical modifications she
wanted made to my face, i realized that she wanted me to become her daddy
as well.  mass killings are probably the only solution, but i am too much
of a coward and too held back by shreds of moral qualms to go ahead with
them, and crazed killers rarely hit the people who deserve it most; there
are no innocents but some deserve that sort of demise much less than others.

ignore the foregoing.  really i wouldn't hurt a fly.

my dear boy, i think you are dreadfully wrong. most of the 'non-losers'
here don't think about being bizarre. they don't wish they were bizarre.
they just live their lives and write their stories. anyone who wonders if
they are 'really bizarre' or does things because they think it is the
bizarre thing to do is missing the point.

The mass noun for a grouping of cats is "clowder," as in
"a clowder of 10 cats."

Really.

"Herd" is for cattle & suchlike.  

Of course, metaphorically it still works, if your cats, say, stampede.

Which leads me into wondering the proper mass nouns for tb denizens.

very interesting tv documentary on the behaviour of the
jewish settlers in the west bank and jerusalem (btw, the
state of israel will not release data on the total number of
houses built in any year to the outside world, despite
the gouging of ten billion bucks from american pockets
last year, for instance. rather rude, if you ask me.).

the first snippet was a policy to restrict palestinians
building land outside their own villages. as the massive
amount of jewish settlement slowly builds a ring around
these villages, what one has is the creation of many
separate palestinian pockets. ghettoes, to name them truly.

the second little item dealt with a bunch of about twenty
jews who just walked into a fully furnished palestinian-owned
house in jerusalem one day, and squatted in amid the owner's 
jewelry, photos, personal effects, etc. etc., taking over
eighteen of the twenty rooms. the interviewer asked the jewish
leader what was going on. the man said that in fact they did buy
the house from an arab. however, the subsequent trial revealed
this to be an outright lie, and in fact they had been told by the
israeli ministry of housing to undertake this action.
this august body is financing many such groups in similar activities,
it turns out. pure monty python; pure fascism, too.

all this appears bizarre indeed, and, were it not for the human impact, i
would be grinning very broadly indeed. i guess the twisted lesson to be
learned here is that if you teach people first-hand about ghettoes and
fascism, they will be doomed to re-inflict these disasters on others
in their turn.

so, there is this one corner in the stairwell. it's not the kind of corner
that forms a 90 degree angle but more of and edge i guess since it would
make about 270 degrees. anyways...it is right next to the door and i pass
within inches of it each time i come down the stairs to the second floor.
i usually come bounding down the stairs and barely manage to stop right
before smash head first, either into the corner or the door. i have this
tremendous urge for quite some time now to just bash my head into the
edge. this would probably split open my forehead, which some of you would
consider *a good thing*. it's just that i come down the stairs so fast
sometimes i could just feel myself not stopping and then BANG! the end.
