Ok, he needs a reality slap upside the head!

I've gone through many years of my life living on less than that & had no car,  no house, & no vacations!

It's not the big problem it used to be.

>> "Potty Training for Fidonet Participants"?
> They need that in the FLAME echoes.

Nah, "Flame" echos are for that -- so I have no beef with them & actually  respecvt them for taking it to wherre it's welcome & on topic. Better there  than in my echoes, or in here. . . Unless you're speaking of regular echoes  that improperly become flame echoes when not defined as such? Then, yes, a good instruction manual (STEP ONE: place head into the giant toilet bowl, STEP TWO:  pull chain)

>> "Great minds think alike"  (or is it "small ones seldom differ?")

Blondes do get a hard time. I only tease the Suicide blondes(dyed by her own  hand) because they actually believe bleaching their hair changes them in to  more likeable people)

"Blondes have more fun." -- yreah, only because they're easier to find in the  dark!

> ... Is French kissing in France just called kissing?

They actually used to call it English Kissing! But now just kissing. . .

I think here we no longer need to sauy french kissing, as that's the default  for those in a relationship -- you'd only find a "grandmotherly peck" to be  notable in talking about it (I don't think people should talk about it - no  kiss & tell, people)

I've never said, "Let's French Kiss, baby!" Maybe rtefer to it as "necking"  whjich implies a more passionate kissing session, that may include tongue play 
& nibbles on the neck, if she likes that (most did)

But, yeah, mostly, couples just talk of kissing & kiss appropriately for for  themn, for the situation.

I wonder what the Aussies call Australian Kissing? Or if they kiss any other  way? 

They refer to necking as pas.  In the UK, theru speak of snogging for a good  old fashioned necking season; canoodling is separately negotiated at the time  of the snog session.

One one sitcom or other (Maybe Roseanne or the sequel); an older sib advised  the  tyounger to steal 3rd instead of going from 1st base to 2nd as usual.  Oh, right, got it -- it was on That 70s Show, wth one of the basement crew advising Eric.

Now that we're done with having kids, either 2nd & 3rd base is usually the home run for me! ("ground ruled homer," perhaps?); I get full points for winning the game & so does sje -- can't get that at the World Series!

I still want to know how many Americans would've canceled their sports program  if ever rthe East & West were both won by Canadian teams (Montreal Expos when  we had thewm in the East & Toronto Bnluejays in the west--who you know play a  good game-- we took the pennat two years in a row('92 & '93)

You'd hear clicks all over the nation as the tv when off & people muttering,  "Huh! I never liked baseball anyway."

See, we don't mind when you win the Stanley Cup in hockey, as they're all  Canadian players anyway! ;)

&, I understand it, our football league is superior to the NFL for spectators.

Need some hockey style fights to pump up the ratings, though, I'd say. . .

Orrrr, hmmm. . .get a giant-ass lake & play football on it in skates!

I wish I had the money to set this up - it'd be a sure money maker for decades  to come! & only we have big lakes remote enough not to  be affected by the heat from port cities.

Your billionaire investors who like sports would have to invest to be minority  partners in our teans, as you'd not really have any teams (maybe one or two in  Alaska; & maybe one in northern Minnesota)

Hmmm. . then basketball on ice! *LOL*
