You know what struck me the most about Matt's post - somewhere up there at
the top which Kenn so kindly deleted so that we didn't heve to see it a
second time, Matt said that his post wasn't one of those anonymous
personals. Its almost like he actually caught on to the fact that something
about those anonymous personals was objectionable, too bad he settled on
the "wrong" part being the anonymous element. 

I have this sinking feeling that trying to stem the tide of these personal
adds is a losing battle. I mean somewhere out there amidst the 80,000 plus
readers of this newsgroup, there are probably people who are of a like
enough mentality with ole Matt and other posters of s.s personal ads that
they will actually respond to these ads. This may, in the minds of some
misguided potential posters, make the abuse and public humiliation that 
these ads induce tolerable. 

This is wrong thinking and this is why.

I want all potential personal ad posters (add ppap's to the FAQ Trygve) to
be forewarned that only a person who is scum will answer any ad posted in 
s.s. So if and only if you are willing to accept scum go ahead and post. 
If the responder is a woman she will be so ugly, mean-spirited, desperate and 
stupid that even her mother has given up trying to get her a date. If the
responder is male then his only purpose will be to find someone to pay his
bills, wash his underware, trim his toe nails and generally tend to his
every need. It goes without saying that he has to be completely unappealing
or he would not be desperate enough to answer the ad in the first place
since he knows that he will be competing with every first-year college geek
that's discovered that the net exists.

MOO of course

     It is precisely for that reason that people
who post personal ads should be flamed unmercifully,
lest other neophytes erroneously get the idea that
personal ads are acceptable since no one seems to

This one, at least, I have to agree with--shovelling snow is ridiculously
inefficient except for narrow paths and touch-up work.  If you've got a foot
or more of snow, it's much, much faster to use as large a trash can as you
can find (preferably with sturdy handles at the top and a handhold at the
bottom)--that way you don't have to bend over as far and can move a 
reasonable amount of snow with each scoop.

Trygve   (More of "Trygve's Household Hints" after this message.)
--
      Running a household isn't an easy job:  cleaning, washing,
ironing, putting socks in drawers and shirts on hangars--jobs that are
just too tough for a man to do.  That is, until now--with Pink &
Pecker's new line of "Do it Himself" household tools, almost any man
can do those difficult household chores nearly as well as a woman.
"Do it himself" household tools are made with extra-large handles to
fit the larger, clumsier hands of a male, have fewer delicate
controls, and come in a variety of manly colors, including camouflage,
woodgrain, lumberjack-shirt plaid, and safety orange.
 
The complete set of "Do it Himself" household tools includes:
 
   *  A "Do it Himself" Iron, featuring an extra-large 'shur-grip'
      handle and Pink & Pecker's exclusive 'no-burnz' built-in
      smoke alarm
 
   *  A "Do it Himself" Mop, the only mop with enough enough flashing
      LED's and large exposed lugnuts for a real man to use
 
   *  A box of "Do it Himself" laundry detergent, the only laundry
      detergent that smells like a man and still leaves in those
      important grease stains that prove his masculinity
 
   *  The "Do it Himself" cooking kit--no mamby-pamby quiches or sissy
      appetizers, the "Do it Himself" cooking kit contains 100 recipes
      for char-broiled steaks, baked potatoes, and man-sized TV dinners
 
   *  The "Do it Himself" sewing kit--featuring a needle the size of a
      pencil with an eye even a man could thread--plus thread strong
      enough to hogtie a calf
 
Don't forget--Father's Day is coming up soon.  Get your man his own set
of "Do it Himself" household tools.  He'd thank you for it, except that
real men just grunt when accepting gifts.  That's "Do it Himself"
household tools--ask for them by name.

I was slipping towards thinking like 'p1', but not long ago I saw a 
woman in a tuxedo and found it a bit disturbing. Which was interesting
to me because I wouldn't have guessed it would be so easy for a woman
to dress 'like a man' in my eyes.

There is a French film out now called 'The Lover', in which the lead
actress, a young girl, wears a fedora. It is an important symbol in the
movie of the girls adventurousness. It did make her seem more exciting
to me (I'm easily led, I guess). No wingtips for me, thanks anyway.
