That is no biological clock, that is a service meter. It works by much like a validator at the bus or train stop.

Insert stub and it records your elapsed time and fee.

Just a Y2K GIGALO? --- or the ultimate Y2K Flim-Flam Man??? LOL!

Gigalo! Such a funny-looking, funny-sounding word! Had to look it up.
-- but it wasn't in any of my dictionaries. Found it in Roget's.
---- Gigolo! It needs "Olo" not "Alo" -- LOL again!

Here's end-of-century news from Japan.
-- True. Compliments of this week's The Economist:

+ Embarrassed by taking only six months to approve Viagra, an anti-impotence drug, Japanese health authorities at last agreed -- after 40 years of deliberation -- to recommend that the CONTRACEPTIVE PILL can be distributed to women.

Robert, I want to say how much I enjoyed yours and Cheryl's noodling over the primary dialectic here,ying, yang, etc.

I myself was considering that you really didn't mispell gigalo, that you had really meant

giga-lo

and I have been trying to think of very large things accompanied by flashing lower power supply buttons, like Trent Lott, for example?

Sorry, best I could do was come up with a prospective cartoon about giga-lo and nano-second (Bob and La Madeleine, nah,Trent and Ed Koch, maybe, I'm open). They could take swarms of cabs around Manhattan, report back on details of the general scene, dining, art, politics, favorite quotes of nyc cab drivers, the usual... Do internet chats live from Cafe des artistes...whatever

Quotes:
1. Best one liner: HRC. To McCaughey-Ross, who came bounding over to her table at a luncheon fete, "Mrs. Clinton, I am so honoured to welcome you to the city of New York". HRC's response: Thank you, I come here often.

2. Fran Liebowicz on Juliani's campaign to make new york safe for families:

Families have the whole rest of the country. They don't need new york."

Best,
Nancy
