I didn't say Trudeau was *still in power,* fer cryin' out loud!  Mother
of sweating Jesus!  I know about Bill the Conqueror, too, (Norman, is that
you?), but I've never been accused of being around since 1066 because of
that!

No argument.  The first time I saw a photo of Barbara Bush, I thought she
was George's *mother.*

Too right!  I tried to give up smoking 10 times this year.  I have given
up giving up for Lent.  Unfortunately, to succeed I would also have to
give up beer, pubs, large meals and coffee*.  Otherwise the temptation
always overcomes me.  

*Not to mention illicit substances

However, I usually don't smoke anything unless I'm drinking, so at least
once a month I don't have any at all (:-)

Few people hit what they're aiming at with the .45, unless it's a match
grade pistol. The .45 wants you to use Kentucky windage. This only works
if you're familiar with the specific pistol that you're using, i.e. "OK,

Pweck, never.  If we caught a feminazi in this here group we'd run it (they
can be male, too, you know) out of town on a rail, tarred and feathered and
all.  (How do you run someone out of town on a rail, anyhow?  The only thing
I can visualize is a bunch of hefty guys toting this poor fellow way up in
the air by a twelve-foot rail up his ass, twirling in the wind like one of
those cheesy college-basketball pennants, but the expression dates back to
Victorian times, so I must be wrong.)

But they've been infiltrating the language, and this is lo que me peeved.

I know the feeling - even though I'm not as tall as Geoff (and probably
considerably less intimidating) I always get the impression that any old
folk I pass *expect* me to steal their wallets or mug them or something.
Of course, anyone who was unfortunate enough to see The Photo-Me Booth
Photos would probably react in the same way, but...

Another related peeve is the way we're always told it isn't safe for women
out on the streets. Well, OK, so there's some truth in it but the ones they
should *really* be trying to protect are young adult males. I'm ten times
more likely to get beaten to a bleeding pulp by a gang of twenty or so
glue-crazed casuals (*) while out for an evening stroll than any woman is
to be assaulted. The aforementioned casuals might make suggestive remarks
to any woman they pass but it's *me* that they'll try to turn into a human
pizza! It would be more accurate to say that it isn't safe for *anyone* on
the streets (with the possible exception of glue-crazed casuals).

(*) OK, so the average casual in Penicuik is 14 years old and about 4'8"
tall, but even twenty midgets can inflict a helluva lot of damage.

ObPolitiPeeve: the anticlimax of election day. After having the thing
forced into our heads for weeks now, I went down to my polling station at
7:15am this morning to vote. I was the only person there. I got my ballot
paper and went over to the booth to peruse it. Damn, no Natural Law Party
candidate. And I'd so much wanted to learn yogic flying. So I made my cross
virtually at random (I'm what is termed a floating voter - although I have
yet to learn yogic flying I really didn't give a damn about any of the
parties and ended up voting for the one I dislike least), put it in the box
and that was that. It took about 30 seconds and must rank up there with the
1987 election as one of my all-time least exciting experiences.

ObBusPeeve: being stuck in a 3km tailback which, when our bus eventually
reached the head of it, had *no cause whatsoever*. They'd just planted a
set of temporary traffic lights in the middle of the road for no reason.
There *were* some roadworks but they were in the layby and didn't block the
road at all.

of a sudden I have a total brain-fart and can't remember what the hell

You fucking pervert!!

Only ignorant city-slickers have this bizarre notion that beef should be
served rare.  Those of us who actually RAISE cattle know better.

The ONLY way a steak should be cooked is well-done.  If you do it properly
(which the English don't, admittedly) it'll be nice and juicy and still
cooked all the way through.  Such a steak will taste delicious.  A love
of rare meat is the mark of somebody who understands nothing about beef.

If you don't believe me, fine, eat it rare.  You're the one who'll get a
tapeworm or die of Mad Cow Disease, not me.

have been living it up in Ottawa since 1984 (however this may change...).

peeve: being away from peeves for weeks because work is all consuming.

peeve: being thirsty and having to go to the bathroom at the same time.

peeve: getting back from the grocery store and *immediately* running out
	of something. you know, you pull the last tissue out of the box...

peeve: the way grocery stores hide stuff with later expiration dates behind

peeve/not peeve (or: the duality of the universe): being too tired to eat
	dinner.

antipeeve: i shot a gun for the first time last week. a 45. didn't hit the

	the seeds. if you get the seeds sans shell, you eat them too fast
	and wind up with salt overdose. the shells force you to slow down
	your salt intake. ok don't believe me. see if i care.

related peeve: when your lips burn from salt.

comment on a different peeve that went by: had someone suggest that fidgetters

	brain/body busy in order to focus on what they really want to think

Excuse me?  I've been a nicotine addict for 20+ years, and I've
never carried around a little shaker.  What do you shake?  I quit
a couple of weeks ago, and *I* was shaking for a while, but I
got over it, and besides that I'm not little.

beer, and coffee.

have to try and figure out all the arcane rules and regulations
about smoking everywhere I go.  You guys don't realize that smokers
are in constant danger of being incarcerated, especially in 
California.  It's a far more dangerous pastime than drunk driving,
for example.  And even when you're not breaking any laws, there is
always some clown who does these loud fake coughs or tells you how
second hand smoke killed some friend of a friend of theirs.  The
worst are the ones that go on for hours about how you should quit
for your own good.  Thank god I don't have to listen to *that*
any more.

I take it Ned Beatty is the guy in "Deliverance" who gets to do
barnyard imitations?

"Mentally effeminate", my Aunt Bertha's purple...never mind.

BTW, Jeff, you forgot to describe yourself.  Don't worry, I'll do
it for you:
Picture a kid you might've known in High School, the guy who sat in
the back picking his nose and sticking the resultant green slime
underneath his desk.  At this point, he's wearing glasses (with
tape around the middle) and sketching his impression of Barbara
Streisand without clothes.  Nobody talks to him.

Now imagine the same kid a few years later.  He's enlisted in the
Marines and just finished boot camp.  For the rest of his life,
he'll have that weird, oddly disconcerting stare that comes from
having Drill Instructors shovel sand into your eyes every day and
then being required to attain a perfect score at the rifle range.

Now picture him about 10 years later, with contact lenses and a
slight paunch...but with that same stare...
