Follow the bouncing ball... One *can't be -in-cheek about this! Nobody's by-ing no stinkin' brijes dat ain't already there for them to uze - spamming the globe for the thrill of Victoria and -gony of defeat. Being safe and sorry at the same time leaves the whole more character than perfection idea up the puddle with crick. Very few sitting at a round table will think about the copier used (human or not) to reduce the minutes. Attempts to *define obscurity are best left to the "artist". #30606 - 06/05/01 11:56 AM Re: A matter of fact   Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 6,511 AnnaStrophic Carpal Tunnel AnnaStrophic   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 6,511 lower upstate New York Helen parenthesizes: (AnaS, calm down, I am being tongue in cheek!) I'm fine. Just fine. Perfectly calm. The quintessence of serenity. Ommmm.....

Well, Sweet Max, you could: change your name to something unmistakable; or--pre-order your headstone so you can "edit" it! There's a popular--make that frequent--ad on TV here, whose "signature" line is, "What do you want on your Tombstone?" #30609 - 06/06/01 01:51 AM Re: A matter of fact   Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 1 Stig_the_weird stranger Stig_the_weird   stranger Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 1 Well, Sweet Max, you could: change your name to something unmistakable Will this do, O Queen of Hearts? #30610 - 06/06/01 07:33 AM Re: A matter of fact   Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 41 Rusty newbie Rusty   newbie Joined: Apr 2001 Posts: 41 Alice Springs, Northern Territ... "I don't care what they say about me, long as they spell my name right." Beg to differ. (a) I care truly, madly, deeply what they say about me (and let's face it AnnaS, don't we all, underneath); and (b) I hate it when they spell my name right - that's because on the rare occasion it is spelt correctly I don't get to add to my lovingly compiled collection (currently up to 42 and still growing) of mutations of my admittedly unusual, not to say ridiculous, surname. This week's favourite: 'Godslam'. I only accept, BTW, variants which are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, genuine fractured attempts at salutation, received in print. As I post this, they beam at me from the noticeboard behind this screen, reminding me of who I appear to be. #30611 - 06/06/01 10:46 AM Re: A matter of fact   Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 4,757 maverick Carpal Tunnel maverick   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 4,757 careful - nemesis awaits! #30612 - 06/06/01 10:47 AM Re: A matter of fact   Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Jackie Jackie   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 11,613 Louisville, Kentucky Stig_the_weird (stranger ) Tue Jun 5 21:51:52 2001 Re: A matter of fact -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, Sweet Max, you could: change your name to something unmistakable Will this do, O Queen of Hearts?
