Stressed?
nvon...@msuvx1.memst.edu
I read my horoscope in Real Astrology (Rob Brezsny):
Scorpio: In case you've never noticed, I'd like to call your attention to
the fact that the word "stressed" is "desserts" spelled backwards. What
that says to me, with my mystical turn of mind, is that the cure for being
stressed is to eat desserts. This is especially true at a time like this,
when your salty and tangy spirit, which usually serves you so well, is in
danger of turning sour and bitter. Lots of sweet stuff is my prescription
for keeping your disposition balanced and your taste good.
HotDamn...ohboy ohboy ohboy!

Yep; I think french fries can come on a plate--actually, now that I
think about it, it's been years since I've had french fries, so my
memory may be faulty in this regard. (Besides, I'm much more
familiar with groping for other things in the sack.)
(Not that I'm actively avoiding french fries--I just haven't thought
of them recently.)

We cannot forget that hallowed, but small, group of people who open the

My dear wife! I am shocked, nay, shocked and stunned that you might
take my remark awry! You are a _most_ compelling reason to live in
the South. You are a particularly compelling reason to live in Durham
(which was suggested the other day as a good place for me to move, btw,
by a complete stranger to the net).
You topped by cream gravy is an, um, er, never mind.

I think we need another Tboink. And soon. We must find out how cream
gravy compares to various kinds of chocolate and fudge toppings or
bottomings or something.

Or maybe she justs thinks there should be a second Diamond.
If thats the case, I'll second that.

I'm still looking forward to the possiblity of a Colorado Boink (Trygve,
is there a proposed name for this proposed boink yet? A good Boink's
gotta have a good name). I've never been west of- let's see, probably
Buffalo, New York, so it'd be an interesting experience.

Actually, we decided in your case that you didn't *need* a robe.
I'm still trying to figure out why mine came with a paper bag with eye
holes.

Dunno--there's always DenverBoink and MileHighBoink (where you can get
into the mile high club without even leaving the ground); but if you'll
be there, perhaps I ought to call it the DiamondBoink, since that'll
probably double the attendance.

Oh, that's all right then. However, I'm definitely holding out for
sandals with the Cabal insignia on the buckles.

Oh, hell. Now I *have* to be there. Hmm, it's clearly time for me to
figure out how to make some money. Anyone got any investment capital

Oh, that's fine. We wouldn't want you to get prickles in the soles of
your feet. However other clothing is unnecessary, since you're not expected
to be rolling in the grass (*) (**).

the hay without any clothing is _not_ a seductive idea for this

Can Kentucky possibly rival (or even come close to) France?
Reluctantly I would have to ask the same about England/New Mexico as long as
you don't stay too long in England.

Yes, actually, parts of Kentucky can certainly rival France. Ever been there?
Don't knock it. England is wonderful, but I would say that if you are
looking for spectacular, New Mexico is a better bet. This thread REEKS of
geographic elitism and it doesn't sound like most of the people who are
comparing parts of the States unfavorably to parts of Europe have spent much
time either place. I would much rather hang out in Lexington, KY, than in
the Pas-de-Calais. I have had some of the finest meals Europe can offer
but they don't come close in quality (or price) to the offerings of a tiny
little place called the Story Inn at a crossroads called Story, IN. You
like the Cottswolds, I do too, but I wouldn't say they are inherently
better than the Berkshires. Paris is wonderful, but it isn't Boston. ALL
of these places are worth exploring and this thread is just plain dumb.
