Yeah, that almost works . The only problem is that you don't know

shit about sports riots. You seem far too willing to overlook the

little Los Angeles " celebrations " that took place barely two weeks ago.

I don't recall a single year that hasn't resulted in a sports riot

somewhere in the USA. Not to mention the school riots that took place

in towns too small to support a decent riot, those being Tucson,

Arizona, and East Lansing, Michigan, that nevertheless had kickass

riots.

And you totally missed the point.

I'm quite capable of seeing the shit in my own back yard especially with

other people the news media and papers reminding me of it on a daily basis.

And yes my high school had it's share of riots over idiotic shit. I've also

lived in two cities that have had the dubious distinction of being the

murder capital of the US through the years and subsequently attempted to

live up to the distinction. I was at the Disco Sucks Rock & Roll forever

riot during the double header at Wrigley Field mostly dodging LP's. So I

can speak first hand on the subject of asinine Sports riots.

I was pointing out that shit happens everywhere.

What I was doing J was the same thing that Pete, Joe and Bjorn did which is

ignoring their own back yard to poke fun at our'n. Overlooking some of the

shit in my own backyard was exactly what I was going for. Like Bjorn I was

going for humor. The muuuhaahaa should have been a dead give away.

One more thing. About the only thing saying I didn't know shit about sports

riots did was almost get you a shitty response..

I recommend a poke at Russia for diversion here -- new page at

http://www.geocities.com/bouglaf/putinbomb.html

--though the bomb and the band are " made in USA " . The USA used to do a VERY

classy H-bomb, though the Russians do hold the world record. Britain has

the record for dropping accuracy -- within 90 yards of target from 45,000

feet (about). Learn all this and more at Gallery Bouglaf, also featuring

ruthlessly destructive thermo-weirdo anti stepNazi humour. Britain has only

itself to blame for the US of A!

Sir, I submit that these men stand convicted of no worse crime than being

European (though the Brits might not agree on that one) and that, all men

being famously created equal, they are no equally badder than USAs. If

sentence is carried out on these men, Europe should place rigid cultural

sanctions on US bubble-gum for up to thirty years. Sir, I remain yours more

or less legally,

D. Houston.

Thanks I was a pre-teen when I attended. Had to call off the second game.

It really wasn't so bad except for the people that got lobbed in the head

Sorry, I don't think rioting is something to joke about. If you do,

then as I said you don't know shit about riots. Same goes for the death

penalty - its not funny.

Hi Joe.

You know, even if you were guilty you could probably get a jail house

wedding out of the deal. It's not uncommon here.

Re: EXECUTION of Pete, Bjorn and Joe

It was with great regret that I heard that I am to be executed.

Nevertheless I must admit it has a feeling of inevitability about it; I did

after all criticise aspects of the US political system, and I do understand

that an example must be set for others. All that I ask now is that I get

the same romantic options as other death row inhabitants, namely to have

some woman to correspond with, to visit me, and to marry me while I am

still alive and to declare in tv interviews thereafter that she is " sure I

didn't really do it " . That isn't too much to ask for, surely. Oh, and that

during my 15-year stay, whenever I go for a walk, someone says " Dead men

walking " . I've always thought that was a scream. Obviously they didn't see

the Romero movies.

I hardly think the LA riots compare with a bit of chair throwing

. These events just temporarily raise European violence to a

slightly larger fraction of that going on in american cities all the

time!

Just recently I met a very personable American guy was is apparently,

ex Green Beret. So far he has been intimidated by two British drunks

in quick succession who appear to have been bored with life. He kept

his cool on both occassions, commenting afterward that such behavior

in the States would produce a very different outcome. But is this a

virtue, or itself merely testimony to the greater violence of American

culture? anyway, apparently he is so disgusted with the behavior of

us limeys that he is thinking of rejecting a job offer of

UK directorship of a software company, which would be a shame.

I think the issue is *how high* thwe shit pile is.

you may be surprised to hear that our high schools dont have riots AT

ALL. at least, ive never heard of any.

as for school shootings - america is a different planet. By

comparison, our back yard is clean enough to eat off.

Regrettably, Pete, the Dunblane shootings prove we do live on the same

planet (not to mention Hungerford -- a spectacular and early gun-lovin'

nihilist's day out -- when was it? Late 1980s?). But yes, UK is a

comparatively safe place, thank God, and fewer guns in fewer hands has

probably got something to do with it.

Yours,

Hi Joe:

Would you mind wearing a Dr Who ensemble? Either the Jon Pertwee getup or

the Tom Baker will do. In the case of the Tom Baker just hold the scarf in

your hand as it will undoubtedly get in the way.

I wouldn't have the heart to go through with it if you did.

Then come over here, and I will splash out on exotic pizza (that is, the UK

variety). We can discuss what we will wear to our forthcoming execution. I

personally favour a white shirt and black trousers- I suppose a sort of

1800s beheading-royalty dress style. If you are really good I may even

provide plates...

You do realise that in my Dr Who form I could dematerialize or be rescued

by a teenage girl or something? Of those two, it would have to be Tom

Baker. I never really er, identified with Jon Pertwee, although in my

opinion he did have the best nymphet accompanying him across the galaxies.

And Troughton (the first Dr I think) was both too old and too early

but certainly scores on ruggedness. I will sort through my collection of

1960s/70s scarves (mens, long) to find something suitable. I seem to

remember wide horizontal stripes, and on a long scarf that is not a good

thing, but it may be necessary for correctness. I still think the I

outfit would suit me better though.

If you shoot him as Jon Pertwee, then if you wait a bit he'll turn

into Tom Baker!

Troughton wasnt the first doctor, he wasa preceded by an

alderly gent whose name escapes me. Troughton died at an SF

convention

where he was guest of honor, which is how my " change into " was coined

.... ppl joked that insted of trying to revive him, the Dr Who fans

waited for him to turn into Pertwee.

Pete

The first doctor was Hartnell. He was good, though I think Tom

Baker has to be number one Doc. I think the theme tune of " Dr Who " is the

most memorable of all TV themes -- would like a very long version of it for

" wallpaper " .

Best wishes

.

Oh I think I remember him now, vaguely. He wasn't very memorable, was he.

An old man with longish white hair and the look of someone who'd spent a

life in libraries muttering softly to himself. No wonder they gravitated

through more and more exciting and ever more youthful gents to eventually

arrive at the dynamic and thrusting son, by which time I had

long lost interest. Once you've seen him as a country vet, you can't easily

make him a Time Lord. It's obvious, I would think.
