Yet still more answers: Last cd purchased: Neil Young, the new record and the four reissues (my old CDR boots of those four records are still up for grabs). Technically since then my neighbor gave me a copy of his new CD (Bedroom Walls/I Saw You Coming Back to Me) which was kind of free but kind of purchased through the fact that I've been loaning him a PA for a year or so. Latest bitch - had the same one for more than a decade. Oh, you mean like pet peeve, right? Still not a fan of cell phones. Favourite food groups: So almost all of them. Robyn fan since: 1987 (basically as long as I've liked pop/rock music of any kind). Most versatile word: "Uhdaah". At least my Number Two Daughter uses it to mean absolutely everything... that's versatile, huh? First psych pop album owned: Good one albeit hard to answer. As a kid I listened to some of my parents' records which might qualify, barely. Then when I started buying my own music I had full collections of Beatles and Byrds records pretty quickly, both of whom have some psych and some pop. But I'd guess that the first time I bought "A Full Length Album By the Kind of Band that Ends Up On a Nuggets Style Comp", it woulda been "Easter Everywhere" by the 13th Floor Elevators. Have you ever found a dead person?: No, although I did see a dead guy washed up in the surf also in South Carolina being hauled off by paramedics. The dead guy was from West Virginia. Last film seen: Theatrically: Finding Nemo; at home, The Big Lebowski for the umpteenth time (wife got it for her birthday). Number of Macs owned: one, possibly soon to be two (nb. PC's owned: zero, although I'm stuck with one at work) Number of records with a headless guy on them: Can't think of any. There's a guy wit a beer bottle neck instead of a head on the Minor Threat comp; that's the best I can think of. Oh, wait, my Pickwick LP of "Boris Karloff reads The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Best album by someone called Lys: Closest I come is an EP by the Lyres. ______ JeFFrey, whose double F's F everything up: >>Actually, I had no idea what medusa(e) was/were until reading other >>people's posts.

As in, "We played Utah State last week," etc.? I wouldn't even know how else to refer to the 'Skers. (Oh, well, I guess there's always "the 'Skers.") My biggest pet peeve is right in line with the above: I hate nothing worse than chatting with someone who answers a cell phone and carries on a conversation of any appreciable length, whilst I sit there and stare at my shoes, trying not to eavesdrop and wondering why I shouldn't just walk away. = s&th hooligan@apostate.com Q. At least once a day, my phone rings, and I answer it, and the person on the other end - the person who called me - starts the conversation by asking: "Who is this?" Is that rude? A. It most certainly is, because this person is committing the grammatical "faux pas" of using a pre-emptive connubial pronoun in an infricative phrase. The proper wording is: "Whom is this?" Or, more formally: "Just exactly whom the heck is this to whom I am speaking to?" - Dave Barry ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2003 12:35:34 -0700 From: "Rex.Broome" Subject: RE: What makes a feg start fires?

Okay, so here's a more personal one, although it has to do with the irritating habit of people dialing you on their indecipherable speaker phone and then switching to handset only when you pick up. And that is: godDAMMIT, my name is not Rick. I know I'm not saying that my name is Rick, because I know my own name and how to pronounce it. And everyone around me assures me that when I say "This is Rex", it actually sounds like "Rex" and not "Rick", but nonetheless half of everybody who's never talked to me before says, "Oh, hi, Rick, I'm trying to reach..." and then inevitably names someone else in the office who they could have reached more quickly through any other method than calling me for no reason, much less calling me and pissing me off by not paying attention to my name.
