Those come from a comedian named Steven Wright. One of the funniest comics ive ever seen. You should here him do the act though, he sounds utterly convincing... He talks really slow and quite, maybe what Eeyore would sound like in a less bassy voice. Tim THANKS FOR NOTICIN~ Eeyore ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Oct 1998 21:19:21 -0400 From: mandabear4@juno.com (Mandabear four) Subject: ET: Guess What?!!!! Hey. You're not going ot believe what happened on the way home today. I was walking home after seeing my beau and I was walking, walk, walk, walk, groa, man my back hurts, walk, dumm da dee... and all of a sudden this car stopped and this guy opened the door. He's like, "For someone so much younger than me, you are sexy as hell!" I just kinda stopped and looked at him and then continued walking. So he's like, "No, really. You are really pretty." I was walking closer to where he was stopped in the road cuz i had to go by there to continue my journey. I was basically ignoring him cuz i didn't know what to do. He's still stopped and he's like, "That was a compliment. You are really gorgeous. I just thought I'd stop and tell you that. I'm not weird. I'm not going to pull out a gun or anything. I'm not weird. I don't have a gun." I kinda stammered out a thank you and continues walking as he drove off. Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!! That was really creepy. I kept thinking to myself why doesn't anyone else see what these creepy people see? I mean, I've been told I'm pretty before by a lot of people but their usually older men or family. I don't really believe it. I mean, I'm not looking for a compliment here but it's really weird. I just don't see it. What do ya'll think about the whole situation? Pretty creepy. <3 always ~Mandabear~ WBS ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

(they'll be shot otherwise) When sick, women aren't allowed to be treated by men, yet women are not allowed to work as doctors, so there is no health care for women. Most women are widowed or abanonded, anyhow, so it's not like they could even get to the heath care centers without being shot along the way. Oh, women aren't allowed to work or attend school. Anyhow, there's a great website you should check out, do a little bit of voting. here it is: http://www.feminist.org/home.html feel free to forward this to whomever. and here's a little news article: 20,000 Watch as Taliban Whips Girl The Taliban militia group punished a teen-age girl for walking with an unrelated man with 100 lashes in front of a crowd of 20,000 in Afghanistanís sports amphitheater. Taliban authorities accused the girl of committing adultery. The girl, known as Suhailullah, stood for 60 of the lashes and sat down for the remaining 40, without uttering a sound. Since Suhailullah was wearing a burqa, a head-to-toe garment, her age and the severity of injury caused by the lashes is unknown. ______ moonsong@ix.netcom.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 21 Oct 1998 20:05:48 PDT From: "ws r" Subject: ET:Nothing much Hey everyone, Well, I have finally finished cleaning out my e-mail after moving to Vancover B.C. It's nice to see my mailbox empty! (Oh, sam, that was basically my belated news) And I see I missed the nice lil' intro thingie (I geuss I'll spare you from sending one...) and a fight, the first real "Fight" I think I've seen since I've been on this list. Well, I geuss I best not say anything else since it kinda seems like everyone is stewing right now. Well, maybe stewing isn't the right word, but you guys are awfully quiet! I mean, I'm only getting three e-mails a day now (Or something like that, which is great for when your behind, but not all that stimulating when you catch up!) Gee, the more I write the less interesting this is getting...o.k, I'll get to the point...Damn, you know, I thought this e-mail was missing something... Oh yeah,has anyone ever read the short story "Father Forgets"?I read it awhile back and I found it quite moving. I think that you should look for it if you haven't found it. I think the author is called Learned or something. Anyway, maybe I'll just cut my losses and send it to the list next time I get a chance. (Since I've moved I can only write on the library computer, and I have a time limit-it sucks.) O.k, before I go, and I geuss I've probably sent half of you to your delete buttons already, I heard talk of a song called "Hands" but in my rush to clean out my e-mail I got delete happy and I missed who's song it was. Can someone forgive me of my ignorance and tell me who sings it, I have as yet not heard it. O.k, sorry to bore you, but thanks for reading, Sue P.S. Anyone ever watch a show called "Night Man" on T.V? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V1 #253 **********************************
