Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan,
There you go again with that typical, conservative stereotyping,
casting all of a species into a single mold, simply because they all
possess blow-holes. Not all whales are liberal, nor are they all tax
cutters. Rob Reiner, for instance, lobbied to have the ciggie tax in
California raised by 50 cents a pack last year.
Putting that aside, however, I would venture to say that far more
seals are closet liberals than are whales, their supposed affiliation
with the United States Navy notwithstanding. You're aware of their
two-faced effort to appear cute and cuddly, even though they're among
the most voracious of carnivores. Their successful media blitz to
stop the alleged clubbing of baby seals in Canada was pure tripe, but
the American people bought it hook, line, and sinker. I have
personally researched this matter diligently and can tell you that
there are no seals in Canada, they don't have any baby's, and - in
fact - Canada doesn't exist.
Sea Lions, on the other hand, are definite conservatives. In fact, I
would have to class them as rednecks. Their behavior is very much
like that of many males I witnessed in trailer courts in Texas. They
like to lie around in the sun all day, gobbling down any junk food
that may get tossed to them. Whenever a female wanders past, they
clap their flippers and bark. Most of them need a shave. And they
rut in groups with whatever stranger wanders by.
And speaking of groups, I don't think you'll find any spirited debate
here. The group is suffering from terminal nicey-nice. We have a
Brat running for President right now. Allen Keyes. A ranting, raving
conservative fundamentalist fruit-cake in a three piece suit. How did
that happen? Why isn't he being discussed? Where are the O.J.'s of
yester-year? Has the Shoe finally tap-danced into oblivion? Has
Harmon truly filed his final brief? Has Sara done her last strafing
run? It would appear so . . . a new day dawns. A boring day.

Yo, Jonathan. You are in the Seattle area also? And selling a house? I happen to
be in the market for a house. One minor detail, though. I want the house to be in
Auburn or local vicinity. If it's actually in Seattle, I'm not real interested.
Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there (too many people).

Oh, dear. This lively repartee is so far beyond my limited creative abilities that
I would feel almost silly making any kind of contribution. Gee, aren't there any
simple folks out there? I'm all for going back to nicey-nice if the alternative is
to discuss the political action committees of aquatic mammals. While we're at it,
aren't radical moderates oxymorons?

Remember that before poking fun at seals we sex goddesses have our
gorgeous selkies and they are a far cry from conservative..maybe a little
sexist at times and a little infuriating what with having to go back into
the sea for periods of time..but sigh.. I wouldn't give up my selkie for a
world of overweight whales or slobbish walrus or sea lions and so on. I
will take my selkie and keep him thank you. No self respecting sex
goddess can go without one.
As for Harmon, his caustic wit and irritating ramblings are seriously
missed. He is a serious instigator of great threads though.

And no one could clean out a house the way we do. We know how to check every nook,
cranny, cupboard, closet, and shelf to make sure nothing is left behind. When you

Jonathan,
You asked for it. You got it.
I take it things are well on the west coast Dan?
I really doubt the political characterization of sea lions you put forward. The
observations I've made, which are cursory at best, leave me thinking that the
species is much more closely related to the concept of bureaucratic inertia
rather than to any significant ideology leaning. They are definitely there,
generally in the way, tend to be loud when disturbed, but, otherwise don't do
much except eat and procreate. They CAN be dangerous if they feel threatened or
wish to procreate.
I must also take exception to the non-existence of Canada. While this would
explain the ongoing need to take a ferry or plane to get to Alaska, I have it
on good report that it is still possible to drive if you have a week or two to
spare. And the last call I made to Montreal, which occurred some time ago,
resulted in a lovely conversation with an operator who spoke only French for
some time. She so thoroughly enjoyed hearing my quite rusty high school version
of the language that she condescended to speak to me in English. While doing
so, she commented that to know Quebec is to love it. She was serious. Radical.
If, perhaps, Canada IS missing, you might look in Quebec.
As for the seals: I would suggest that the effort to reduce demand may be more
of an effort to make a breed of supply side economics work. By making demand
unfulfillable, supply increases in perceived value. This is by and large the
same strategy being used by certain groups normally found so far to the right
they have to look left to walk a straight line.
As for the group being too nicey nice? It does get comfortable doesn't it?
That's kind of scary. My life has been a series of events that ended in a state
of comfort. I don't think I'm supposed to be comfortable. At the same time,
what to do about it?
Yell FOOD FIGHT? Frustrating.
Maybe Debby could invite one of the folks in her department to the ng to
discuss the effectiveness of congressional client-relations in a post cold war
climate that fears isolationism while seeking to eliminate all contact with
reality beyond our borders. We could then beat up the person, take his/her
money, and buy a round while donating the bulk of the take to a PAC dedicated
to preserving fresh fish for future generations of radical moderates.
How's Carol? We haven't heard from you guys in a long, long time.

I have been wrapped up with trying to settle my mother's estate and with that
came the selling of the house that she and my father (also now deceased) had
lived in for most of the years after his retirement. It wasn't the house I
grew up in; they bought it one month after I married. But, it was the house
they lived in for half their marriage and the house they lived in the longest.
It sold quickly and I really had to empty it fast. There were so many emotions
involved: 1st- things I found - like the telegram telling my father to report
for active duty for WWII - which were just amazing - and poignant. 2nd - It was
really, really sad to let that final house, that final connection go. (I
refused to attend closing and did my part by overnight mail, fax, notaries,
etc.) and 3rd - I felt this absolutely frantic need to get a cleaning team!!!
I drove the realtor crazy. The buyer was going to gut the place and do massive
renovations but I still felt like I could not leave it without having a
cleaning team come in!! Talk about ingrained habits!!

Now, I have moved down to the beach....did not move furniture at the

Carol is good. She got an early retirement in November and has been
spending her days painting and riding her horse. Her last week at
school was capped with student protests and death threats, because she
expelled some students who were preying on minors, a la booze and drug
parties. This, after 15 years of running the college. Needless to say,
she is happy to be free.
I have to reiterate, there is no Canada. My family drove down the
alleged Al-Can highway in 1968 and there was nothing there but mud.
This was when I first began to formulate my theory that Canada was
merely a hoax that the United Nations was perpetrating upon an
unsuspecting, naive American populace. It's an imaginary Northern
Kingdom, rumored to be full of strange creatures, who speak like
Minnesotans, yet there's no real evidence that it exists. When the
invisible black U.N. helicopters picked up all of the draft dodgers
during the Viet Nam War, they had to have some explanation. Thus, "they
went to Canada." Your own phone call proves this to my satisfaction.
You call Canada and your call is rerouted to France.
Let me ask you this: is there a Canadian car? No. Canadian planes?
No. CD players? Brassieres? Condoms? No. The sole national product
of this supposed country is Canadian Bacon, which we all know really
isn't bacon to begin with. And, during my entire journey to Alaska, I
saw not one swine.
And, yes, I like your idea.

And my mom was a definite cleaner -- the last place she cleaned so well
the inspectors had a hard time finding anything; they leaned WAAY
under a sink and found a bit of dust and yelled "I FOUND SOMETHING!"
On "never getting used to it," I can still go somewhere, fall in a bed
and fall asleep; it doesn't bother me. If we sold this house today, it
would not bother me. Now if my mom sold her house she has lived in the
last 30 years, THAT might bother me. So I do have a heart!

Nicey-nice is not in their vocabulary. "In for the Kill" is more like
it! As for beating them up and taking their money, I am all for it.
It would be more useful elsewhere.

Unfortunately debby Celine Dion is part of an even larger conspiracy.
Shortly after DeGaulle threw NATO and the Americans out of France he felt
the need to keep his rabid nationalistic supporters focused on a convienient
"enemy" thereby distracting them from the poor quality of their automobiles.
Britain of course was a natural target, but sadly their automobiles were
even worse. Not wanting to loose this opportunity though, he then hit on the
idea of creating a non-existant country linked to Britain and America that
(and this is important) had no automobiles. Hence Canada. Since the British
are easily fooled he managed to convince them that they had indeed
discovered and populated the large mud mass between North America and Alaska
(see Dans' ALCAN trip posting). And also since there is no mineral wealth in
mud the USA felt no need to explore farther North.
To stir things up even more he came up with the audacious notion that within
this fictitious country there were FRENCH PEOPLE who were enslaved! (By the
way the ACADIANS of Louisiana are also DeGaulles' creation, which is why
they all talk funny and wear masks at Mardi Gras).
His masterstroke came with the famous speech in which he coined the phrase
"Vive LA QUEBEC!" (Quebec translates as "tastes like chicken" a useful
French culinary term).The French Secret Service then passed off disgruntled
French autoworkers as "Canadian" the most famous being Pierre Tredeau and
Jean Chretien. Unfortunately they were so succesful they were soon
underemployed which lead to schemes like blowing up unarmed "GreenPeace"
vessels in order to keep people from discovering that there are no Seals in
so called Canadian territory.
Which brings us to the master French deception-Celine Dion. Having failed in
earlier attempts to pass off such non-charismatic "Canadian" entertainers
as Gordon Lightfoot, Ann Murray and assorted other acts no one has ever
heard of as legitimate (with the purpose of lulling us so called "Canadian
Skeptics" into a false sense of security) the plan to pass a talented (and
therefore not necessary) French auto designer as an International French
Canadian superstar.
So far the plan is working which is why we are issuing this dire
warning...if you play "My Heart will go on" backwords you will hear the
phrases "My Citroen is mechanically sound" and "Renault Le Car...more than a
work of French impressionism".
Brought to you by the Committe to Expose the Canadian Hoax (eCHO).

Gawd, I wondered where this thread and reference to the selkie came from. Now that
I've read it, I'm all for the selkie being the, uh, mascot, er, "emblematic
personality," of a brat. For more than 40 years, I thought I was the only one that
thought of myself as a chameleon. In fact, I believed that I was such a chameleon
that, in my early years, I sometimes wondered if I had my own personality. (The
debate over "Who am I" never had more meaning to anyone than a military brat.) Even
to this day, I have to admit I will occasionally still adopt some of the mannerisms,
characteristics, or eccentricities of the people with whom I associate. Sometimes
those darned survival mechanisms just kick in all by themselves.
After all is said and done, though, it is still a toss up between selkie or
chameleon. If we dare set aside the issue of talley-whackers, I think the chameleon
wins. A brat's ability to adapt to the environment around him/her has always been
his/her greatest asset. I can't say that having the ability to take taloned strikes
at anyone ever won us any points (although I'm sure many of us have developed a
somewhat caustic wit--another survival mechanism). On the other hand, I do like
wearing fur.
As for a brat bug--why are we even considering such a thing? Insect lover I'm not,
but if I had to choose, it would be one of two bugs and one of them I find entirely
repulsive. First, there is the lightning bug. I say this because you seldom know a
lightning bug is around until it lights up. But when it lights up, you can't help
but notice it. I think brats are like that. Out of the need to survive, we
frequently take to observing our surroundings before opening our mouths. But once
we feel comfortable, we can "light up" and there is no missing us.
Second, there is the cockroach (told you it was repulsive). However, the cockroach
can survive anything, much like us brats. More to the point, it adapts to its
environment no matter where it goes. I saw one of those PBS documentaries on
cockroaches once and it said a cockroach is only as clean as its environment.
Presumably, then, if you live in a sterile environment you will have a sterile
cockroach. This does not mean, however, that the cockroach will be unable to
reproduce, only that it will simply be very clean when it does. Likewise, if you
live in a filthy environment, the cockroaches will be filthy. Frankly, I don't care
how clean an environment the stupid cockroach comes from, I think it is filthy--damn
things give me the willies just thinking about them. However, you have to admit,
they are survivors. Just like us brats. Did this issue get settled already and my
arguments moot, or is there still any room for discussion on it?

As near as I can figure, Celine Dion was actually born as the
illegitimate son of Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell. He had a really
tortured youth, knowing that both of his parents were living a lie,
pretending to come from a country which actually doesn't exist. Then
one terrible night he forced himself to actually listen to his father's
music, album after horrible album. He went completely over the edge,
had a sex change operation, and the rest is history. Herstory.
Itstory. Whatever.

Well, that's a really well-reasoned and thoughtful response to the Brat
insect issue. I'll have to do some thinking about all of that.
On the other hand, since it's OUR mascot, we could probably give it
whatever characteristics we want to. For instance, we could have a
cockroach that lights up. In fact, I think that cockroaches would
probably like that, because it would make it ever so much easier for
them to find their ways around in drawers and cabinets.
Of course, since it's a Brat emblem, we should also probably arm our
electric cockroach in some fashion. Perhaps grenades. Or missiles, for
all of the SAC Brats. Hmmmm . . . so a sort of a flying, Stealth
cockroach that lights up, but doesn't show up on radar. Needs work.
By the way, I still have that problem with the chameleon thing. All
those years in Texas and now in the land of the Eternal Hot Tub. I'm

Didn't see this way down at the bottom of deja. Nice to hear from you
again, too, Donna. No, not away, just very, very busy. Carol and I are
starting up a new business and there has been a lot to set up. Also, of
course, Carol retired, so we have more time together and less computer
time. Women tend to not like it when their partners sit in front of a
computer all day. Don't know why, some notion that it's not romantic.
Go figure.

Monarchs and Viceroys, royal colors, migratory, travel in herds, clouds,
groups, or whatever term applies to butterflies. Beautiful, transitory,
creatures.
Unfortunately, they begin life as larvae that look suspiciously akin to grubs
and they tend to end life all too frequently around here as grill grits.
I'm for leaving the insects out of the brat metaphorical lexicon. You just
can't use a bug's life cycle quite as well as a dandelion's.
I'm not much of one for using animals either, unless it might be some creature
in the genus naugahyde. I rode, sat, slept for so many hours on the skin of
such a creature that I think I may have developed a kind of symbiotic
relationship. I come in contact with it and I immediately go into a kind of
dance: squirm and slide, squirm and slide, slide, slide, squirm.

were later replaced by the even rarer bright orange.

ROFLMAO. Stealth cockroaches? I didn't know the damned things showed up at all
until you turned on the lights. However, cockroaches with their own lights would
make it easier to smash the little buggers. Nachos with Brie? Don't give me any
ideas. And as soon as you find those Birkenstock boots, be sure to let me know.
I'll want to order a dozen or so.

Well, now you've let the cat out of the bag. Or, as the French would
say, "Le pousey out of le baguette."
There are few people in the world who realize that Canada is actually a
Gaullist plot, and one of the most fiendish he ever concocted. He's
mostly remembered for his other accomplishments, such as
- installing turnstiles in the Maginot Line that could be operated by
Pfennigs
- coming up with the basic French battle plan of running away really
fast, so that the Nazis would be totally exhausted when they finally got
to Paris
- convincing the French that snails were actually, "the other white
meat."
- and, of course, his realization that American families travelling
through France would pay huge sums of money for stale bread and moldy
cheese, if the French just referred to the mess as a, "Continental
Breakfast." (Which, oddly, has somehow migrated to American motels and
is shorthand for bagels and cheerios, which I still haven't figured out,
but I'm sure that De Gaulle was behind it somehow.)
He's also remembered for adding certain phrases to the international
lexicon, such as, Cherchez la femme," which is French for, "The
Americans are women who eat moldy cheese," and C'est le guerre," which
means, "Say, Gary, have you noticed that the Americans will even eat
moldy cheese?"
And, this, of course, was the real reason for the whole plot. The
French had disastrously over-produced in their cheese industry in
post-war Europe. Their entire economy teetering on the edge of
disaster, De Gaulle was forced to try several bold strokes to alleviate
the situation. First of all, he introduced the only automobile made
entirely from cheese, the Citroen. While economically feasible, it was
soon discovered that it could never, ever be operated near microwaves.
Parisians were horrified at the sight of their fellow citizens being
turned into human nachos as they drove down the road. Despite renaming
the car, "Le Flambe' " it's popularity plumetted. This "melt-down" of
the auto industry led to further economic woes and the advent of the
phrase, "C'est c'est bon," which means, "Do you suppose those bone-head
Americans would eat our cars?"
Faced with total collapse, De Gaulle was forced to try his most
desperate measure. He invented Canada. As we've already established,
there is no actual Canada, BUT the imaginary country has one salient
feature: it's across the street from Wisconsin and Minnesota. American
border guards were soon mystified by the appearance of thousands of
"tourists," driving across the border in Citroens and grilled them with
questions like, "If you're from around these parts, how come you speak
French?" To which they would reply, "Oh, . . . uh . . . we are from
Quebec." In actuality, of course, the Citroens were being driven to a
secret plant located in Eau Claire, which is French for, "Oh, Claire,
can you believe how zee Americain border guards are possessing zee
stupids?" There, they were disassembled and melted down into rounds of
expensive French cheese, shipped to California delis, and sold for 20
times their actual worth. Which led to the advent of the phrase, "C'est
line, dion," which is French for, "Eat my shorts, Americans."
And that's the truth.

Golly, but I feel better now, Debby. I was beginning to think I was the only one

However, I think Dan Bob needs to explain all those "British Columbia" license
plates to me. If Canada does not exist, then where do they come from? Rats, ended
that in a preposition. Allow me to rephrase: If Canada does not exist, then from
where do they come? How do they fit into the plot? And where do all the people that
ride the Victoria Clipper really go to if not to Victoria on Vancouver Island in
British Columbia? For that matter, if Canada does not exist, then where was I
really when I went to Vancouver Island in 1972? I think Dan Bob has a lot more
explaining to do. (This should be fun.)

I don't know how long you have lived in our fair state of Washington, but
perhaps during a night of insomnia you have seen one of our local
commercials for Vern Fonk the Insurance man? (sadly this part is not made
up- Honk if you love Vern Fonk!). Vern specializes in getting auto insurance
for drivers in Washington who have, shall we say, less than perfect driving
records and can't get regular insurance.
Some of them are such bad drivers that even Vern can't help so he sends them
down the street in Ballard to his cousin Fern, whom having learned the fine
art of license plate making while a guest of the state in lovely Purdy
Womens Penitentiary, will issue them a so called "British Coloumbia" license
plate.
If you have ever seen these maniacs on our highways you know why even the
state police are loath to pull them over and demand proof of insurance.
Those that do are hoodwinked by the statement "We are from Canada" and
pursue the matter no farther due to the fact that the clever "Canadians"
insist their currency is less than half of ours and the fine is simply not
worth pursuing.
As to Vancouver Island that is simply a part of Washington state Walt Disney
bought in the early sixties and turned into a quaint English" theme park. In
order to avoid taxes on this lucrative venture Walt insisted it was part of
(drum roll please) Canada.

DeHavilands are Boeing(s) seconds, mostly small planes made from a blue
print some lazy SPEEA member forgot to enlarge (ducks and covers).
Sea Doos and Ski Doos are used by the Surete to track escaped French
convicts (see my earlier post regading Ann Murray et al) in the mudlands of
the North. And you people wonder what happened after Devil's Island closed.

I've been in Washington for more than 20 years now and have never before heard this
explanation of all those British Columbia license plates. Now that I know the real
story behind those plates, I shall endeavor to give them a wide berth for fear they
will hurt my new truck. As for Mr. Fonk, please tell me he made up that name. I
want to choke every time I hear one of his commercials. And it is nice to know
that Washington has some very nice real estate in Vancouver Island. Somehow, the
sky seemed bigger up there. Or maybe I just felt smaller. All in all, I would have
to say Mr. Disney did a fine job on that island.
