Weiss BITNET: weiss@psuvaxg.bitnet This guy sounds like a pencil-neck geek to me. Someone over at psuvax please stomp his face into the grating over a steam tunnel access. Thank you. (Actually, I used to have much the same attitude in grade school, but in high school when I actually spoke with a jock or two, they turned out to be just humans who can make their bodies do what they told them to do. This revelation shook my universe. I mean, discovering that a nerd-persona when applied to sports instead of academics results in a jerk-type jock. And that the rest of them were just people who were either detestable only because they were perfect (able to excel at anything, scholastic or whatever) or that they were jealous of things *I* take for granted (like being able to read a text in a few hours and actually retain useful information from it). The real strange thing is, when I finally got up the motivation to lose the 80 pounds of engineering I had gained on top of the ~20 pounds of casual excess I normally carry anyway, I discovered to my shock that I actually had latent physical talents, and that all the "jock" genes in my family are present in me too, even though I never did anything to make them activate. Gee, here I go spoiling Michael's day. He wanted a flame and this isn't NEARLY toasty enough. OK, I'll try... ) Y'know, I bet that if Michael ever had to deal with real live human beings instead of with the stereotypes he imposes on everyone around him, the culture shock of entering the real world would fry his tiny little brain and then he'd end up a drooling idiot fit only to play the "villain" part in a standard professional wrestling tag team. Wake up, Michael. Stop being limited by your terror of success. Go out there and TOUCH them toes, YOU CAN DO IT! Unless of course you really ARE a totally untalented twit of a pencil-necked geek, in which case it would be a good idea for you to marry a female geek and get a vasectomy, thereby improving the gene pool. (You don't have to actually have sex or anything challenging or physical like that, just use up one more geek-breeder.) ( Was that all right? I think I got the unfounded assumptions right? ) Hutch
