The middle of my mohawk was really long (mostly worn tied back, with millions of different barettes & ribbons all the way down it), but when I decided to grow the sides in I just cut the rest to a very short bob. My hair is too wavy to be 2 different lengths & I looked like a crazy person.

So many heroes & villains are thrown onto the screen in Batman & Robin that it's impossible to establish any of them as characters. And that cheezy dialogue! There are parts of each film that I liked, and some installments of the Batman film series were better than others in my opinion, but overall I'm happy with the studio's decision to NOT make any more of these films. Speaking of flicks, we just saw "Dances with Wolves" for the first time ever, and I was repeatedly amazed by how much Kicking Bird resembled Joe Strummer. Lovely scenery, too :) Robin ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Nov 1997 22:35:32 -0500 (EST) From: RThurF@aol.com Subject: Re: Re: Alloy: Laserdiscs and Digipics In a message dated 11/11/97 3:20:15 AM, crackers wrote: <> HOLY CRAP, Kick-Man!

Incidently, I've printed out everyones pictures on a single sheet and have them up on the wall near my computer. And by the way, I think you bear a striking resemblance to an old highschool friend of mine Steve "Caveman" Dowling. He was one of ontario's best cross country runners in his younger days. It was really funny, when he'd run races he'd hold back with the rest of the runners just so he'd have someone to talk to and then at the last mile he'd say, "Well I've got to go win now. See yah." and he'd sprint like hell. The guy was increadable and there was many a track coach that was brought to tears when Steve said he was giving up running to become a hair dresser. Actually, Steve called the other day and left a message. He and his wife just bought a new house. I should call him back tonight.

First time I ever had a draught Guinness was in Washington DC, and this youngish very Irish-accented bartender "blessed" it for me. He made the sign of the (Catholic) cross with the spout as he finished the pour. When the foam peaked, there was a really cool shamrock on the top of my pint. Those of you with access to a keg o' Guinness can tell me if this is easypeasy or takes some practice. - -- Elaine Linstruth Palmdale, CA (USA) ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V2 #249 ***************************
