Hey all! Kate: About your caveman dream... Interesting -- wery interesting. You say that these cavemen were screwups, and you had to point out their failings to them, hmmmm? Let me ask you this... do you have a special man in your life who is constantly attempting to do the right thing, but falls short? And you know that he means well, and you try to be gentle when you tell him what he did wrong this time but he still takes it the wrong way? For example: you have a fight. He storms off. He thinks better of storming off. He returns with tickets for the upcoming Hanson concert as an apology. You tell him this is sweet, but remind him that you hate Hanson. He yells that you just said last night while watching MTV that you "so love Hanson". You inform him that that was biting sarcasm. He storms off. And so on. Perhaps you were subsituting the guys from BFF for someone else in your life who actually does that type of thing (is well-meaning but misses the boat). Of course, if none of this rings true... maybe it *was* the foccaccia bread. After all, foccaccia is sometimes used in dream clinics to stimulate the cerebral cortex. Carrie: Is this new news? No more gummi worms? Is there something that you need to tell us? Did the TA switch teams, or have you found some other engineer to be your love? Do tell! Markus: So you lust after kicking my teeth in, huh? Is this a recurring dream? Tell Dr. Lyons all about it. But remember, I will just have to karaticize yo' ass if you ever try to kick my teeth in! I mean, come on... they're the only teeth I've got! You expect me to just lie down and take it, when you are obviously too used to having the upper hand? As if! This is one chiquita who will give as good as she gets! Hiiiiiiiiii-ya! Matthew: you are TOO funny! Making me laugh out loud in work like you did today is not nice. Especially when I have no way to retaliate. Of course, I could attempt to karate-chop you into submission as I will to Markus, but since you have more training than I do (yeah yeah, I know I know... anyone with one iota of training has more than me, I getcha!)... but what really scares me is that fencing stuff. I don't care if you have the little cork on the end of the foil -- it still looks much too pointy for my peace of mind! But here's a query for you... Wasn't Godzilla actually good? I mean, I thought he was always fighting *for* the Japanese in the Sunday afternoon Creature Double Feature! Not that I ever actually liked the CDF, it was just that it was the only thing on on Sunday afternoons. And when I say the *only* thing, I mean the *only* thing! I know I am alienating all you younger Filers, but do any of you older folks remember life before cable? When you woke up Sunday morning and all of the stations were off the air and it just had the testing beep along with the picture of the profile of a Native American Chief head (or should I be even more PC and say "indiginous person"?)? And then Davey and Goliath came on at like 7:00 am? And you had to actually turn the dial rather than clicking the remote? And there were only four stations on VHF (2 (PBS), 4 (NBC), 5 (ABC), and 7 (CBS)) and maybe another three on UHF (38, 56, 68)? Ahhhhhhhhh... the memories... Welp. That's about it for now... Wubba wubba wubba. - -Anne ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #109 *********************************
