I started to say it's not near the bake-pit, but I just looked again and
think maybe it is.  There's a little hint of the pit behind Price and Adam.
I have *lots* of pictures people probably wouldn't remember.  If I ever
get a scanner, I'll gif some of them.

Greetings, Jim,

If I only could,  would check my TV, but Ausbrook has advised me to
spend more time reading.  It's possible she now has a monopoly on
ABC and is the only person who gets it.  In fact, that strikes me as more
likely than the possibility that she gets only ABC, since this would suggest
her tv gets only one channel, and such tvs are rare.  But maybe she lives
far from a major media market where only one network is available.  I'd
check all this out if only I could, only I'm too busy catching up with
my reading.

Subject:      Riffles report
Comments: To: words-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

Brad's posting about goetta reminded me of an event in my freshman
comp. class involving "Riffles," the student whose spelling was
atrocious. I'd played a tape of an NPR interview with the editor
of the new American Heritage dictionary in which the words _spucky_
was mentioned as a regional variant (I guess it's a bulky roll).
Riffles lit up--he has a spucky every day. He was amazed that no
one else in the class knew what a spucky was. Evidently the term
is confined to Boston's old Italian neighborhood, the North End.
I think he felt quite pleased to have rights to this word. But as
of now he has failed to bring me a spucky, as requested.
   (I can't even get my students to have a cup of coffee for me
when I hurry in to teach them...)

Just in case anyone wants to know, there are two new books about what

this fall.

How to Get Him Back from the Other Woman, by Diane Baroni and Betty Kelly
suggests strategies for retrieving him while retaining self-respect.
St. Martins, Sept, 18.95.

for the other side......

Get Rid of Him, by Joyce L. Vedral looks at dead-end relationships
and how to get out of them for good.  Warner, Jan 93, 18.95.


Guess you pays your money and takes your choice.....both have major
author tours, all the usual crap......

Greetings,

Boy, did the admiral kick ass, or what?  Clearly, Ross has an eye for
quality.  I bet he'd pick some really good Supreme Court justices.
I ghas it made now, eh??   ee Pepsi-

Quayle fared better than I'd expected (easy enough when he only has to
memorize a very short sentence (Bill has trouble telling the truth).
Gore handled himself perhaps stiffly, but he seemed to be quick on his
feet; all in all, I'd say his performance was better than during the
1988 primary campaign.

I'd like to know why Al and Bill don't ask a very obvious question when
George and Dan accuse Bill of waffling:  Why did George switch from the
pro-choice stand he advocated prior to accepting the vp slot in 1980?
And another question: why did George reverse his stand on a critical
question of 1980s politics, that being the validity of supply-side
economic theory, which he did, after all, once call voodoo economics?

Yea, Cokie Roberts sure did!  Now, anyone who doesn't support both ladies, or
has the temerity to actually OPPOSE them politically, can be cheerfully
accused of being, ipso facto, anti-Semitic!  Ain't politics grand?  8-)

Side.  Left-hand, to be precise.

G (Still trying to live it down back home... - it was compounded by a little
accident some weeks later when I shortened my mini by two inches - a friend
has been rallying and his mapreader had called '90 left' when in fact it
was a '90 right'.  He ended up going straight on, at a t-junction, catching
a large flat boulder at the side of the road and taking it like a launch
ramp to fly over the dry-stone-dike and land in the field behind which was
incidentally about 5 feet lower than the road.  Anyway, I took my mini and
a few friends and we went out to see the site of this superb accident...
... and I ploughed into the same wall.  Fortunately from my bike experience
I knew not to turn and took it in a straight line hammering on and off the
brakes to avoid a long skid.  I *almost* managed to stop it before the wall
but not quite.  The car ended up a touch shorter.  oh, and while we were
there, we found my friend's hubcap in the farmers field which proved the
flying-over-the-wall story quite conclusively.)
