Like I said, I dig (this). Like I said elsewhere, I'm a pseudobeagloid entity. My earliest memory, incidentally, is of digging in the dirt. Of such beginnings are geologists made. quote: I will be a student come September, in my nonfelinoid form. As they say, "Better living through Chemistry".
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Doc: we gotta talk. I just picked up the latest Granta, with its feature "Confessions of a Middle-Aged Ecstasy Eater," which only fuelled my resolve to -- ah, later for all that.

Hey, 'lance: that's what my no. 1 stepson does. (He calls himself a consultant too. )I guess I can see what you mean by this word: quote: I'm a pseudobeagloid entity
but can you tell me where it comes from? I've already bored people with several descriptions of what I do for money. It wouldn't be untrue to say that I'm a pseudoliterary entity: the streets of Toronto are paved with us.

I'm employed in a factory that makes Truck Wheels, from the little ones you find on pickups and SUV's to the ones you see on the tractor trailors on the highway, to somewhat larger ones you might see on cement trucks.I've been in the Quality Assurance department for most of the time I've been there. Fortunately, my actual duties have changed enough that I've learned a lot of different skills over the years. Since the quality and performance of truck wheels has an impact on public safety, I tend to take my job seriously. Oh, originally I took the job there to save for college or university. A few things happened in the mean time. But, I'm too old to be taking lessons now. I might give a few though. (slices the air with my ridding crop) [ August 08, 2001: Message edited by: Tommy_Paine ]

Why, just imitation of the good Doctor, of course. I dig beagles. Among other things, they dig. While Dawna Matrix wrote: quote: I'm a nanny, and someday I'm going to be a teacher. And then I'm going to teach...Lessons. (Cracks whip).
Hmm. I know I've lost my shining armour, DM (among other things, my heart is not pure), but... (trails off into his own private, sordid, but extremely creative thoughts).
