George,

 GP> My diaper is fine; speak to whomever I was quoting there. . . rtgw big
 GP> NeoLiberal(likely, or some such) crybaby; I'm not "Conservative" (or
 GP> "Republican"); I'm just grounded in reality(a reality that includes God
 GP> & the  moral laws He has given us)

  Too bad a certain political party voted Him out of their platform. As
for the diaper...it "DEPENDS". 

 GP> Hopefully it's up to the task of the self-jinx you just called in on
 GP> yourself!

  It's like "The Sysop's Curse". When the Sysop goes off on vacation,
their BBS develops "separation anxiety", and crashes 5 minutes after
the Sysop has left the premises.

 GP> Ditto with anything I'm using -- if it won't update automatically,
 GP> every night  at 01h30, I don't need it.

  I figured out the nightly maintenance glitch, so I was able to put
several doors back online that were removed just days earlier. I also
have added several IGMs to the local LORD II game, and sent you several
messages in there. It was DIFFICULT to get that Armor and Weapon of KCD
from Springfang's Lair.

 GP> Even so, I wouldn't spread them -- the butterknife stays in the
 GP> silverware  drawer, & stool goes for a forced swim. . .

  I had to order some "toilet hats" to collect a stool sample to
be sent off...but the Post Office lost the thing...or they threw 
it out.

 GP> Why would I? I don't work for them!

  Just like the stores wanting us to use the self checkout lanes.
It'd be my luck, that I have 1 carton of a dozen eggs, but I'm
not allowed to go through express checkout, as I have more than
10 items. 

 GP> Yup, but the laws of stadards & measures are Imperial based (MPH,
 GP> gallons, etc; milk in pints & quarts; cream in cups(or half-pints?) or
 GP> pints. . .

  And, we like our Imperial measurements. My late Mom had said when she
was in high school in the 40's, they were saying "the metric system
will be here before we know it". Yeah...we know how THAT turned out. 
That's like saying "we should support the metric system every inch of
the way". 

 GP> In weather, your rain is reported in inches (kind of a big unit when
 GP> often  you're measuring 0.01/inch, which doesn't translate well to
 GP> 1/16s. . .

  And, your plastic raingage can be different than an automated one,
or like the one used by the National Weather Service, or at airports.

 GP> Odd, as it's the South that made RC so big. . .

  There was a song years ago called "Junk Food Junkie". During the
day, the guy was Mr. Natural...health food all the way. But, after
dark he broke out "a bag of Fritos corn chips, Doctor Pepper, and
an old moon pie". Then he sat back "in glorious expectation of a
genuine junk food high".

 GP> & do you see Sprite, or you're too close to Atlanta to see anything but
 GP> Coke?

  Is Ocracoke Island where you can get Coca-Cola with your okra?? 

 GP> It was & so is our generation. It'd be simpler if people could wait
 GP> until marriage, as you have to be an adult to get married.

  It's true that "true love waits".

 GP> My adult step-daughter wanmts her mom & me to evaluate any future
 GP> wooers,  because she knows we've lived a long time(longer than her) &
 GP> know the red flags that she has no clue about. . . (or might not see if
 GP> she's "blinded by love"-- she's beyond the age of being hormonally
 GP> messed up by recent puberty).

  I filled out an "application to date my daughter", and gave it to my
in-laws before I married their daughter. 

 GP> Like the farmer said, after drinking directly from the goat's teat,
 GP> "It's all a matter of personal taste."

  Just nipple that one in the bud. 

  Did you ever get your QWK Mail working?? If so, I can send you a
bunch of punny taglines...although they may be in the QWK Mail Files
area on the BBS already.

... I've used up all my sick days, so I'm calling in dead.
