Re. pantywaist, google knows everything. <g> "The original sense ... referred to an article of clothing for children. This pantywaist was an undergarment consisting of short pants and a shirt that buttoned together at the waist. By metonymy, this children's garment was applied disparagingly to an older male who would never normally wear one" randomhouse.com So, are you saying you're one, or did you get your knowledge of history from audio books? <vbg>

I have to get serious about my workouts. It turns out I'm going to be the only American allowed to compete in track and field events and I'm gonna be one worn out dude in Athens. Just because steroids were the one drug I haven't done. <G>

KT - Reading is a great pastime. Take SI commentaries - I just read a couple of them for the first time and have to say I have not seen anything so hilarious that pretends to be about financial markets in a very long time. My personal favourite is this one, titled: YOU NEED TO BUY SOMETHING! -g- adserv.stocksite.com First I wondered if they are writing as part of an affirmative action program for the benefit of a mongoloid minority that really has no idea about the markets. Or about anything else, most likely. Then I decided that these must be pieces of satire, where the author is poking fun at the author by making him THINK he is serious. I hope that is the case, anyway...
