It's more of an automatic response on my part -- ever since I went to Amherst College... I've had to explain that there is another college in the town that is much, much bigger. The absolute best is when people tell me; "No, that's UMASS Amherst... it's a university, not a college." I also get... "Oh, everyone I graduated with went there, too... Did you live in the Towers?" Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... It's why all us Jeff Alumni are conditioned to have a question mark at the end of our alma mater's name... "Where did you go to college?" "Amherst College...?" It makes for quite the nice lilt. :) Hope all is well with everyone! For those of you buying for small tykes... check us out at www.toysmart.com! (It also works for those of you buying for the small child in others, as well! I am a big fan of the Hoberman sphere, Zoob, Toobers and Zots, Bendos, yo-yos. lava lamps, Buzz Lightyear and all the rest of the stuff!!! :) Take care & good luck with your Holiday shopping! - -Anne ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1999 08:14:50 -0500 From: Dan Cohen Subject: Le Frak? Le Schmak! Glad that mailing lists are safe from all this penis enlargement nonsense on Usenet (although I must say, impressive use of mass-NNTP agents on their part, nonetheless)... Ah yes. It was definitely Amherst College, since Sarah, Gary, John, Sarah's roommate whose name I don't remember, and I had a hell of a time finding the gym, finally locating it by the tour buses and the load of preppy lacrosse players (devoted UMass students they). I remember Le Frak only from making lots of rude jokes about it with Jason Feifer whilst Leigh and his friends were off getting bad fast food for us all (and getting lost along the way, teehee). And cozy, schmozy, it was cold in there. While our boys are off the road, I've decided to become a Guster groupie, as they've got a million shows up here in the Northeast (Buffalo, Syracuse, Utica, etc.) all within reasonable road-trip distance for me, and I just saw them tear the roof off some bar in Rochester which further convinced me that Brian Rosenworcel is your god and mine. Am I wrong in this assessment? I didn't think so. Anyway, Matthew Sweet tonight. Yum. That's about it. - -Dan Leigh 13 wrote: > > > From: Anne Sawyer > > > Leigh! you are KILLING me!

Besides the fact that Biz, too, sings "she has electric boobs...her foreheads huge!" because Ive always thought that. My finger's bleeding, getting all over the keyboard. I must attend to it before I die. But I also own handsome boy modeling school now, and thats fab too. and I only now stopped listening to the fiona apple cd, which is quite the addictive little thing. yup, lots of blood. ~Elisabeth "this place is dead anyway" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V2 #320 *********************************
