I sent this to a few of you, and the response was too good to keep this joke to myself....
-g Never Choke in a restaurant in the South Two hillbillies walk into a bar. While having a shot of whisky, they talk about their moonshine operation. Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. And, after a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, 'Kin ya swallar?' The woman shakes her head no. Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?' The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no. The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth. As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to the bar. His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver' but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!' * I don't think ma had this in mind when she says you should always wear clean underwear when you go out. |

I read it fine. It's the 90+ extra lines of crap that came with the funny. Does OE hide all that garbage? |

OE does everything I ask it to do and it was free. MS started using HTML or Rich text in newsgroups, I believe. With dial up and 30 baud modems it was important to conserve, but today, I don't think it makes much difference aside from etiquette because not al readers can handle the characters. |

That said, it's not about news clients anyway; it's about HTML not belonging in text groups like this one. -- Blinky Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org Blinky: http://blinkynet.net |

No, it renders it, even when it does not belong in a text group. -- Blinky Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org Blinky: http://blinkynet.net |

I thought the story was very funny. I spent way too long in the Deep
South and wouldn't be a bit surprised if that happened... |

It is like advising people to use an umbrella if mud is being flung at them from a height. Saying that OE is a "better newsreader" (better than what?) is beyond ridiculous, especially with people using it - you including - regularly sabotaging other people's filtering and polluting the newsgroup with atrociously formatted messages, or with the lack of any distinction between own and quoted text. Compared to OE, even the WebTV "newsreader" begins to look kind of nice. Using OE in Usenet newsgroups is antisocial. ObFood: Moussaka. The recipe is from the most wonderful _A Pike in the Basement_ by Simon Loftus. "Zestó" means "hot". Victor Moussaka Many cookery books give recipes for Moussaka, most of them dreadful. My version goes like this. Slice an aubergine or two. Salt, sweat and dry the slices, then sauté until golden brown in just sufficient olive oil to prevent burning. Keep warm and dry. Finely chop a few onions, soften in oil, add finely diced leftovers of cooked lamb (_not_ beef), tomato purée, salt and black pepper, a little white wine. Simmer for twenty minutes. Stir in plenty of chopped parsley. In a shallow dish, lay a layer of aubergine, a layer of lamb, a layer of aubergine and so on. The custard on the top is the most important part, always wrongly taught. Grate a little very hard goat's cheese (or parmesan) into a small bowl of Greek sheep's yoghurt. With a fork, quickly and hard, beat in two eggs until it's frothy. Pour on top of the lamb and aubergine and cook in the top of a hot oven until brown and bubbling. Zestó! Serve with a few boiled potatoes and green salad. _Suggested Wine_ I see no point in drinking anything other than Retsina with Moussaka, but those who find this resinated white wine not to their taste could try a good but light Italian red; something like a really good Bardolino, for example. Young claret also goes well, but nothing too grand, or too old. |
