The boys -- they become "youthful

sexually molest the teacher. or the teacher's 4-year-old daughter. Hmmm, still on the far side of the line where disclosure is the only path.

25th and 50th wedding anniversary Poldark Maximus never considered his XXth wedding anniversay on par with the 1000th hanging ... until today. Useful comment on the conventions of modern life. He actually bought a XXth Anniversary card the other day for $3.00. He didn't see any cards for "Happy 1000th

There were internet discussion groups at 28K-56K, but that's it. That was 10 short years ago. We can all tell our kids we were there to debate the meaning of THE AVERAGE AMERICAN in cyberspace as the reality of it disappeared completely. Kids in Japan will be reading this
