If it weren't for those scary and unpleasant Americans invading Normandie in large numbers, it's likely The Beautiful South's lyrics would have been written in German.

I remember a children's story from years ago about a cat called Pushkin, which I thought was a great name for a cat. At that time I knew nothing of Aleksandr Pushkin (1799-1837), "considered Russia's greatest poet as well as the spiritual father of its prose literature" (accoriding to Wendy Smith's review at amazon.com). And I know no more of him now either. Anyway, then I tried to think of another word or name, beginning with 'pus' for the other cat, but the only one I could think if was 'pustule' which is probably NOT such a nice name for a cat. However, now I've looked in my little dictonary I think 'illanimous' would be better, particularly if one cat is more timid than the other, which would make it pus-illanimous. I know, I know, everyone hates a smart-arse. Sorry Slarv ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Aug 1999 17:55:34 EDT From: RThurF@aol.com Subject: Alloy: tiny bit of downtime for server on Saturday morning (8/14) Jeff has just told me that Alloy's server will be down this Saturday morning from 7am to 9am, US Eastern Standard time. There shouldn't be too much of an interruption for Alloy in general - posts made during those hours will be held in the backup server & then forwarded - but if you tried to look at the archives during those hours for instance, you wouldn't be able to get through. Just to let everyone know. Robin T ------------------------------ End of alloy-digest V4 #222 ***************************
