LOL! check the time stamp, crow... we posted simultaneous garchik items! <vbg> here's another SPEAKING UP AND KEEPING QUIET Fuming over cell phone disruptions, stage actor Kevin Kline plotted a revenge that didn't quite come off. "The plays of Chekhov are known for their pregnant silences," he says in the latest issue of Vogue, "but not with today's audiences." One night during a production of "Ivanov" at Lincoln Center in New York, Kline put a cell phone in his pocket. Had a call interrupted his performance, his plan was to whip out his own phone, hold it to his ear, and say, "Oh, not mine." Turned out he never had a chance to do the deed, as all through the house, there was quiet that night.

I like the new fashions. (The one on the left) Kinda reminds me of Roman military armor. I get so tired of wearing comfortable, flattering, easy to maintain clothing, I yearn for something different: A stiff, restrictive, can't sit or walk in it number that makes me look totally silly is just what I want this Christmas. I can visualize visiting the washroom wearing this outfit --- And Captain Hook thinks he has troubles in that department. The one on the right would be excellent for camping trips. The head cover would keep mosquitos off my face, and the bushy collar would keep small reptiles from seeking warmth in my sleeping-bag. A very practical outfit, just being marketed at the wrong time of year. (But since it's an Australian site, camping and Christmas seems to fit.) Cheers, PW. P.S. I visited a really big technology store today. I wanted to wander around and see all kinds of neat stuff. I was approached about a dozen times by staff who all attempted to engage me in conversation using the opening line "How are you today?", to which I responded that I was well. Well, I began wondering if I appeared ill or uncomfortable and these people were genuinely concerned. I finally confronted one and asked if the exact wording of his question was part of their training: It was. I thanked him for his candor. His honesty completely removed my desire to program their display PCs to "DELTREE /Y C:." at midnight December 26th, through Windows Schedule Manager.
