Got another e-mail today, in response to a post I made. I'll tell
you all yet once again - if you have a reply to a post, then make it in
the appropriate thread, don't e-mail me. ESPECIALLY, don't send me an
e-mail and don't bother stating it's by e-mail only - that's very rude.
There is a small number of people on the group I don't mind e-mails
from. They know who they are. If you're not sure if you're in that
group, chances are you aren't.

Geez dude... it's just an email... get a grip. Long before there was a
WebTV everyone emailed everyone else about whatever the hell they
wanted. This was before "make $5,000 by 5pm" and "double the size of
your unit by 6pm" and "Dr Bungholi from Nigeria seeks your assistance
because he heard you were a man of worthy reputation". Back then we
were just damn happy to hear from people.
So, if someone from the group sends you an email that you're not
interested in dealing with... try this... just delete it :-)

If I'm remembering correctly, there's an Internet service where you
can send yourself (or whoever) a delayed email. Submit the email and
when you want it delivered... in six months, a year, maybe longer.
What if she sent one of those? Just be sure you don't discard it and
if you do reply, be polite ;-)

Well first, calling WebTV an "operating system" is like calling a peep

That said, he's happy with what he has. It suits his purposes and it's
not "sub par" anything. If I want to drill a hole and a $15 hand drill
does the job for me and I'm happy with it, why would I want to go out

Lordy, I do love this thread when it pops up again.
It is a sidereal phenomenon and is a precursor to the sure arrival of
another Robin's Butt thread.
I always enjoy those, too.
JOAT is a mainstay of the Wreck and, since he will not say it himself,
I will inform you that folks from his neck of the Carolinas only need
one pair of shoes - because they only wear shoes during the coldest
part of the year.
This would be from January 15 to March 1.
It would not be unlikely for a man to have one pair of shoes that he
used from the time of his birth until his inevitable insertion into
the Pineywood box.
That is why only size elevens are sold in that area. They are a tad
hard on the younguns but have a better's chance of being right on the
back end.

I had a cousin who lived in Willow, Alaska. Our family has a reunion
every two years. Many years ago, it was held in Sacramento, CA and his
two requirements were that I find a joint with Coors beer on tap and a
big man's store. He was a rather large person with 5 1/2 EEEEE shoe
size. One smartass offered to sell him the boxes. We finally found
something close in an Army surplus store. They were work shoes but were
black and had laces. He bought the last two pairs they had. The Coors
acually tasted good after that.

I'll bet that the last decent shoes that you had was GI - and no one
gave a damn about the wide.
Although it is just possible that you was wearing indian leather
before anyone else caught on.
