  I read your stuff and ponder what meaning there is in my own life. I think about you sometimes. Like when things aren't going my way and I wonder why I know you.

since you've already been "rescued off the island", um, is someone
twisting your arm to read stupid Usenet posts?

That explains why ya repeated it so much, Haddad.

No, I let you tell yer own lies, Haddad. Why should I simply tell folks
what a liar you are when you can prove it for me?

why not just stock up on "coconuts" in the fall and let spring melt
the snow?

  [G] Geno's cat Emma Peel         


Author: Cleverly done

Emma's in the shop tonight getting.... well, she's getting her regularity
regulated. We humans call it a bowel impactment, and she's having to
undergo intense laxative/enema therapy. I have engaged the best male
veterinarian in the USA to see to her needs. I can afford it because I am
an opulent, caucasian, conservative lower-middle class American male with a
license to carry.

Until tomorrow, everyone post well, and don't worry about all the cold
weather. Algor will fix it.

We're down to 33F tonight just 50 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. But not to
worry. February is our coldest month, and we are braced for it.

Me go now. zzzz
