    marye. There ARE some real oddballs showing up now-people blabbering nonsense and hit-and-run insults. And now at least one instance of harrassment-OY! Am sure the 99.9999% lovely folk here will stick together and beware.********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

    heads up folks
    Regarding the chat room: when the new version went live, we discovered that people can access the chat room without being logged on to Dead.net. As it usually does, this led to some problems, mainly with drive-by types who came in and posted nasty stuff and vanished. We thought we had that security hole plugged, as it were, but I'm hearing more reports of strange posts from people no one knows, and I've just had a really alarming PM from one of the ladies here who was in the chatroom, ran into a person with a perfectly legit-sounding name, and was invited to a private chat by said person. No sooner did she get there than he commenced some fairly vile sexual harassment. Following up, I find we have no such user. Of COURSE. I have sent up an emergency flare in Jonathan's direction. But meanwhile, we encourage you to exercise some street smarts in the chat room. In particular, do not go into private chats with people you do not know well. Hang out with them in the public chat room to get a sense of who they are. I'll keep you posted on the technical side, but meanwhile, watch each card etc. Thank you. ME with the mod hat on

Having a little repetition problem this morning? Your bug come back:-) Was at Feria-got home at about 7 this morning. Was a great experience, though a pain in the butt to get home. Were in 3 casetas-one quite traditional, one just plain boring, and one where we spent many hours, an "open" one belonging to a group for open-mindedness and toleration, where the music was not Sevillianas, but a mix of ancient Spanish pop classics, and a whole bunch of more alternative Sevillians. Learned the basics of dancing Sevillianas, and after enough manzanilla-could even imitate the more talented halfway decently. Was a great night, but think was enough Sevillian Feria for me. Will go to one in Asuna in May with a co-worker, which is supposed to be smaller. Is supposed to be alot more intimate-so will see. ********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

The wife and I just finished watching Kingpin. I'd fortgotten how funny it is. Anyway, in the course of the film, there comes a point where one of the characters has to roll a third time in the tenth frame. I explained to my wife under what circumstance the phenomenon of the Third Roll In The Tenth Frame occurs and its many and varied possibilitlies (alright, there aren't THAT many). When I finished my discourse she said to me "Wow, I'm glad I don't know that much about bowling." Think it's time to watch The Big Lebowski again ;-).

I happened to look at the page that shows the topics all listed. Would you believe that this topic was created 4 days and 20 hours ago??? It's, it's, it's a miracle I tell ya!!! No, wait, it's Kismet. Well I must take advantage of this fortuitous moment in time. Please excuse me for a bit...

I had the sirius channel on in the background this afternoon. The topic was something like: 'Your memories of Winterland'. Towards the end of the show they interview a guy from the Bay Area named "Buddy". It's going to be rebroadcast on Tuesday at 5PM ET... Could it be? LOL

Back many, MANY moons ago when I worked the offshore oil rigs, I met an ancient gentleman who made no bones about his fondness for all things alcoholic (think he used the 7 days offshore to clean up). He told me the only thing he would never drink again was tequila. When I asked why he just smiled and said, "Tequila will make you take back shit you never stole!". . . Words of wisdom.

Instead, mix it with Nellie and Joe's key lime juice and lime infused simple syrup in equal parts. Also add 1/3 part Cointreau (or triple sec if you must) and shake with ice. Salt to taste if desired. Yummy! I once whipped up a couple of gallons of this for a party of about 40. It actually lasted almost an hour... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Tequila was awesome, (when I used to drink alcohol). I never had any problems while consuming that stuff but unfortunately, other folks I was around, while under it's influence, seemed to think differently. I came to the conclusion (once I came "to") that this drug shuts off one's brain but isn't nearly as effective doing the same on that person's mouth and feet. Apparently many different law enforcement agencies have confirmed this effect on myself and dispite my better judgement, I stopped (if I make it that long, it will be 19 yrs. on Aug. 13th, not that that really matters to me anymore - I do love that the day was the 13th). I still do milk and cookies, though. "Since you've all been such good boys and girls, I would like to take everybody in this entire audience out for milk and cookies. There are buses outside. Everybody follow me."

Ya well said, the only thing worse than drinking Ta-Kill-ya is throwing it up!!! Used to drink at a Kiwi Bar here in Shanghai and the Tequila shots were free!! Man i have woken up on buses, parks (with Chinese doing Tai-Chi around me), massage parlers, you name it. So with that being said, i do not drink Tequila anymore. This was a while back!! The comment above: “Tequila will make you take back shit you never stole!” Aint that right!! Good one.
