Most of the novel seems to be about women vs. the protagonist's childish illusions. His remarks on the subject are usually unfair (although he seems somewhat aware of this). Drew ===== Andrew D.

Male bedbugs and Anthocorine bugs use traumatic insemination, wherein the male will actually stab through the female's abdominal exoskeleton with his tallywhacker. Now that's gotta hurt from any perspective. And gerbils...don't even get me started.

Oddly enough, mine settled in Maine in close proximity to some relatives of rival clans back home and continued raping the cattle and stampeding the women here in the New World. We populated much of the New England penal system for decades. And speaking of cattle, my parents' neighbors have several of the big, shaggy, reddish Highlands cattle -- like huge Irish Setters with horns. Speaking of helping sheep over the fence, I did see where some guy got arrested this last week for, ahem, making what the state deemed nonconsensual whoopie with several sheep.

Mark Allen, you out there? You know, I hadn't paid any attention to the Rew dates, as chicago warn't on there, but I just realized my wife and I are gonna be in Philly until the 26th. We'll be staying with my brother in a little Brigadoonish suburb called Erdenheim, which I 've never seen on any map, and doesn't appear even on my phone bill, but which I'm told is about 10 miles north of Billy Penn's hat. Knowing htat, who can tell me where the Bishop's Collar is? dave ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 06:56:44 -0700 From: "Russ Reynolds" Subject: Wire question I know there are some Wire fans on the list. Anyone know the story behind "Map Ref. 41°N 93°W"? Ages ago I attempted to pinpoint that longitute and lattitude and it turned out to be someplace just outside of (I believe) De Moines, Iowa. I found that puzzling and went on to something else. Now I'm back at it. Is there a significance to this location? Equally puzzling is the fact that this song was left off a 31 song compilation covering their first three albums. Was that not a single, and aren't singles generally the FIRST songs to be considered for compilations? I don't get it. Whether or not it was a single it certainly ought to have been. What a great song! So screw the compilation...are those first three Wire albums still in print? - -rUss ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 09:30:48 -0500 From: "Brian Huddell" Subject: RE: Wire question > I know there are some Wire fans on the list.

Anyone who likes 154 might want to grab Colin Newman's "A-Z", which started out as the 4th Wire album before the record company rejected it. ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V9 #193 *******************************
