There is also a WORDS-L rule that you have to send a biography and an
8 x 10 colour glossy photograph to Natalie for inclusion in the list archive.
This photo is then digitized and made conveniently available for all
WORDS-Lers to examine. This way any false statements you may make about
your appearance can be checked.
Oh yes - smilies are not allowed on this list :-) <--smiley.

No. It's gotta already be in gif form. I don't have a gif-maker. That
reminds me, there may be some gifs of Bernard and me in our WORDS-L
t-shirts if my gif-maker friend comes through. I fear, however, that
the details on the shirts are not going to show up. The pictures were
taken with a not-very-good camera, and Bernard's shirt kept falling off.

Are you for real? I'll won't see your answer until the a.m. but I want to
hear from Natalie on this. I'll tell you now what I look like. I'm 5'7", I
weight too much and have long brown hair. I consider myself average, only
because people tell me I shouldn't berate myself (did I spell berate correctly
and did I use it right?). I may just go to the picnic so if you go you'll see
for yourself.

Style, artistry, whatever happened to them ? Control your hot mediterranean

a decomposition of affine connections.) I do know a guy back in India who
used to flit around in our institute. You're just his type.
You needn't tell us your age, actually. Everyone knows you are an old one.
Best wishes to all your bitnet friends. Do stay and regale me.

(hey, stats dudes, do you have some measurements we can use as a standard?)
And, in Boise Idaho, the NBC station's local news just did a first...with
lots of warning....(it IS sweeps week, isn't it?)....they showed polaroid
pictures of their interview subject's bare breasts. She is one who had
problems with silicone implants, and showed the polaroids of one breast
with large, grotesque lumps protruding from the side, and others after one
implant had been removed (resulting in breasts of very disparate sizes).
Not exactly erotic or anything, but another "first".
The CBS station is doing "your cellular phone calls aren't really
private because some folks have 'illegal' scanners". BUT, the CBS station
is promoting daytime soaps with some of the most explicit teasers I have
ever seen in prime time on broadcast TV.

Lisa, in spite of Tushar's autoflagellant protestations, you should not in
any way surrender him. He needs your ministrations, but is too proud
to confess. I urge you to follow in Tammy Wynette's oh-so-melodious
footsteps and stand by your man. Such spiritual affinity flashes on the
erotic horizon only once in a harlequin romance; I am thinking of Heloise
and Abelard, Tristan and Isolde, Bill Clinton and the four black hookers
mentioned in the newest cover story of the Globe, and now: LISA AND TUSHAR.
This one, I predict, will be bigger than Elvis and Priscilla.

I love this group. You all are so interesting but, give me a chance to get to
know you before we play the dating game. After reading about all the phone
calls what's next? Phone sex? Oh by the way, just a general note, I called
Natalie last night because she was insulted when someone suggested she sounded
like Park Overall, she doesn't. I told her she sounded like my dads girlfriend
who was from Virginia but, I remember she is actually from the back woods of
Tennessee. Is there anyone else you would liketo see me with?

Good grief. It gets worse by the minute. East Tennessee or West Tennessee?
West, I hope. I have to confess, Lisa, that I lied when you asked me if
I had been asleep. I lied because I was embarrassed about being asleep
that early. Yesterday was a bad day. I went to bed earlier last night
that I have in many years -- maybe since about age six. When you called,
I was so sound asleep that I forgot I had an answering machine. That's
why you ended up talking with the real me rather than with the machine.
Something occurred to me earlier today that makes me feel better about
all these insults. Many people seem to think all varieties of their
native language other than their own variety sound the same. E.g.,
many people in the U.S. can't tell the difference between Australian
accents and English accents, although they are *quite* different.
Some Britishers can't tell U.S. accents from Australian accents. (I
was once taken for Australian while in England.) Three different
Illionoians have thought I was British. A bar-tender in Chicago
absolutely refused to accept that I wasn't from London. The moral of
the story is that you hear an alien accent like that of that idiot in
the tv show -- it's different from yours. You hear my accent -- it's
different from yours. So you conclude that they're the same accent.
THEY'RE NOT!
Sigh. If everybody talked like Brad Grissom, communication would be
much easier. He even has the right little touches like calling me
"Miss Natalie" at the end of his message. That's good Southern talking!

I am not at all sure that being from backwoods of TN is in any way better
than sounding like PO.
But I am equally sure Natalie will respond to this.
Wow, it's fun to have a newbie who can get in their and fling it and foul up

And I'll agree. Brad's accent is mellifluous and soothing. I was a
bit nonplussed to be called 'sir,' but as Natalie says, that's good
Southern talking ... as in 'mind your manners, son.'
Of course, after spending 6 years in Louisville, I also felt a bit of
familiarity with Brad's accent (unlike Natalie's).

Well, Lisa, it seems gtoal has identified the next step: mustberation. I
suppose this could occur in conjunction with phone sex if you an Tushar like.
I don't know why you're so insistent on getting to know us better. Are
friends any less friends because one has, just at last, found them? (ezra

Sorry, I didn't want to wake you. I don't know which part of
Tennessee my dads girlfriend is from, she's the one who told me it was a back
woods town. I agree with you though, I can barely tell the differance between
a Rhode Island accent and a Massachusits accent but I know that there is. I've
lived in both states and I am starting to pick up the differences. Being from
Connecticut, I don't think I have an accent at all but, I'm sure someone, maybe
even you, would beg to differ. I hope you were not offended by my referance to
the Tenessee accent remark but to me you sound exactly alike.

Are these relationships transitive (or is it commutative, or
associative?).
Is Dan Quayle a Marvin Gaye fan? Any evidence on this issue, MacPhil?
(I doubt that the late, lamented Mr. Gaye knew a thing about Quayle,
nor would he have been a fan of Smilin' But Vapid Dan.)

You're right. I forgot about that song. I also like Marvin Gaye. I

Actually, it appears Quayle is a Leonard Bernstein fan. Quayle's office
recently sent a fundraising letter to the composer, but probably won't
get a reply since Leo died over a year ago...
