"last worders" here. Besides all *your* notes are going to get deleted as
trashnotes!

    Now, since those are Mike's first last words, should Mike not
    reply on the grounds that since they're his words, he wins?  Or
    should Mike reply on the grounds that since he didn't write his
    words in this reply, he would lose if he didn't?  And should
    others not reply on the grounds that I'm not Mike, or should they
    reply on the grounds that they're Mike's words?

    the last word is:
    
    zyzzyva (ziz'e-va) n. Any of various tropical American weevils of the
    genus Zyzzyva, often destructive to plants.

498.49CSS::PETROPHWhat part of eternity is this ?Sun Nov 04 1990 14:3126
	Can we first agree on the rules;

	o  A last word would have to be a reply to this Note only.
	    (ie. no references in other topics or Notes files, use
	     of U.S. or International mail, television, radio or any
	     other electronic medium including voice or telepathic
	     communications.)

	o  The topic is only valid for this version of Womannotes.
	    (Current version is V3.0)

	o  Moderators and their families are strictly prohibited.

	o  Massachusetts residents please add appropriate tax.


	Given the above I believe there are two scenarios for getting
	the last word.

	1.  Someone bribes one of the Moderators to find out when this
	    file will close, and we move on to V4.

	2.  A catastrophic event wipes out all participants except one
	    or two Moderators, who just happened to be transferring
	    backup tapes of the file to offsite storage at the time.

DougO goes home early... and doesn't note from home. As soon as the West Coast
noters go to bed, then UK noters show up at work.

	'scuse me, I really don't see how you can lump the UK and the ozzies
	together, they're further adrift from us than the west coast of US.

    Heather, who's picture is on Australian money?  If its *your* monarch's
    then that's how I lump ozzies into UK.  No, what I'm really confessing
    is ignorance about the terminology used to describe former colonies of
    the British Empire, who didn't break away quite so forcefully as we did
    here in the States...
    
    Thank you Charles, for "commonwealth".  That's the word I always forget.
    And did you get a rise from me?  See if I invite you to the not-yet-
    planned-but-intended-get-together for Barb Haslam when she's visiting 
    the next two weeks!  Janice can come, though.

498.77OXNARD::HAYNESCharles HaynesWed Jan 23 1991 15:368
Barb has my number - should we try to compete for her attentions? It would be
so malely typical of us... I hope any party for Barb isn't at YOUR place, and
I'm tired of the Tied house. Let's go someplace *interesting*.

Still not the last word.

498.79SX4GTO::OLSONDoug Olson, ISVG West, UCS1-4Wed Jan 23 1991 15:5616
    compete for her attentions? nichevo (never).  I'm actually floating the
    idea around, Dawn and Leslie know already, now you do, I may be able to
    get hold of Tony Purmal, there's a read-mostly (hi, Susan!) who may want
    to meet Barb...I was hoping Mary thebay::vaskas might grace us with her
    presence, since I've never met her either...and no, I hadn't picked a 
    place.  My apartment is probably too small.  Got any ideas, favorite
    restaurants for that size group?  And do you know any other =wn=ers in
    this vicinity?  (readonlys who want to be included send me mail...we're
    talking about getting together to meet Barb Haslam when she visits in
    the Santa Clara area the next two weeks.)

    nor yet the last word.
    
    
498.80OXNARD::HAYNESCharles HaynesWed Jan 23 1991 16:0222
Well Doug, I have lots of places on the Peninsula that I like. Kabul might be
fun, or Red Sea, especially if we have a significant proportion of veggies
along. Or I could give lessons in sushi snobbery. I think we should wait until
one of us hears from Barb, no?

By the way - dried porcini are relatively easy to find, my local (Menlo Park)
Safeway has them. Fresh Porcini are much harder to find, though Monterey Market
has them sometimes, as does DiMartini.

	But we were talking of time zones, and geographical locations, and who
	would be noting when.

	I can enlighten you to the fact that pictures on currencies have nothing
	to do with the time-zone in countries, or on the noting practices of the
	Digital employees in those countries.

	I hope this helps you,

    Heather, yes, we were talking of time zones and noting practices of
    Digital employees.  I'm in California.  So is Charles.  He said,
    following us Californians would be UK noters.  I said, you must mean
    the ozzies, 'cause after Californians, the ozzies are the next large
    contingent that wake up and go to work.  But I hadn't really thought
    one says "UK" to mean ozzies, 'cause there's a better word
    (commonwealth) to describe the relation of the UK and Australia. 
    Follow me now?

	in .69 you actually said:

>   "And Charles, those UK noters...does that include the ozzies? 

      Well, I thought that meant you were including the UK as close to Australia

	actually, there is a better word, however printing it here would 
	probably get me deleted!      :-)

Ooohhh, that might be fun to watch! I know that moderators can delete notes, but
I hadn't realized they could delete NOTERS. Wow, I'll have to watch my mouth...
(tricky without a mirror, ya know)

I had completely forgotten about our Australian and Hong Kong noters. They, of
course, would be next after those of us blessed to live in the Bear Flag
Republic - seventh largest GNP in the world. I can't understand why everyone
doesn't live here, but I'm glad they don't...

	-- Charles

(I was going to put in a joke about California and queens, but decided that
people who didn't know me might think I was being insulting... on the contrary,
the fact that queens can feel comfortable here is one of the reasons I love this
state, and especially this area.)

    Nice to know we are so easily forgotten :-(.
    
    We actually note way BEFORE you do in the US.  You see its 8:35am
    25-1-91 here already and it's still only Thursday night over there
    (about 6:35pm in some places I think??).
    
    So why don't you want us to live over there???  Must be that you care
    for us so much that you wouldn't want to take us from our paradise.
    
    David.
