How can Dean McCarron be perfect? He has fallen short of a perfect BBS user
by not logging on often. I am the only one here that is perfect, pure and
innocent. Haven't I told you that a hundred times? Geeze. -=*) ANN (*=-

Because he's never pirated a program, never phreaked a phone, and by gosh,
would never read anyone's private electronic mail.

.... of Sandy. She puffs up like a hen and says " What the hell does he mean
'Geriatric ward'? I'm a spring chicken and beautiful too. What does he want?
- Marilyn Monroe or something? "
Just then the quarterback figure of Todd Reese hulks in the doorway. All
eyes turn toward him. Sandy made a lunge for him. He's mine! All mine! Stabd
stand aside!"
Ann quickly sticks out her foot and sends Sandy sprawling on her keester.
"That's what you think babe! I've had my eye on Toddy boy for a long time.
You keep your mitts off him!"
Todd smiles at this banter, but his eyes turn from the girls to the figure

Mrs. August, a pin-up centerfold that Whitey had displayed above his desk. 
Todd wonders what Ann must think of this blatant pornography on display in
her home.
 
Todd then asks the group, "Did any of you get a strange note to come over
here to Anny's house?"
 
The house began to shake and rumble, and a large, deep voice said........

Cliff, Ann, Sandy, Rod, and Toady looked at the toilet. The water swirled
with vigor. One hand grasps for the toilet rim, then the other. Crawling out
from the toilet bowel is James Hawley, all smiles (he loves a good joke, you
know).
        Ann quietly wondered if he was down there while she was relieving
herself before her shower. Her thoughts were interrupted when .......

Yes, our lungs are filled with fluid while we are in the womb. However, we
don't derive our oxygen from this fluid. It is true that the substance shown
in the film works on rats, but I don't believe it has ever been successfully
tested on humans.

 I watched Cocoon, the Return last night. It is one of those rare sequels
that is every bit as good as the original. A little fantasy neer hurt
anyone, and at my age, the prospect of a place where there is no sickness,
no death, does have an appeal, of sorts. It was enjoyable viewing.

I too have enjoyed the Cocoon movies and especially love the cast. Think
it's great that they show wrinkles and old age for a change and that old
people are human too! The only thing I didn't like - it made me a little sad
after watching both that there IS NO place like that to run to!

        Yes, the breathable fluid does exist.  The rat sequence was really
filmed using that fluid.  Not so with the human (Bud) however.    So far
this fluid has worked on some animals, but the scientist that tried it
almost died.
        
        By the way, I saw Abyss for only $2.50 at Bell Rd and 43rd Ave.
