    Haven't been in this file for 9 months now.  Just checked in today, to
    see what was up, and who was still here.
    
    I am still the ESG Purchasing Manager in NRO5.  And I still bowl a mean

    Other than that my new passions are GOLF....Santa brought me a set of
    PING ZING Irons which will be going to FLA. with me in 3 weeks.  I also
    took up downhill skiing last week.  My daughter and I am taking it up
    together.  Never too late.....especially at 35.
    
    Of course my other passion is my 2 daughters, now 9 and 6, and
    aging/graying dad mighty fast.
    
    Great to see those who are left.....Best of luck to all of us!

    Paul Mazur
    
    Been at DEC 5+ years.  Jan 22 is my last day at DEC.  I got a job in
    Kentucky. (UK #1 !!!) Most of you don't know me.  I've been a mostly 
    read only noter.  'Saw knows me well cuz we work together.  I mave
    piped up a few times in notes to talk about Buffalo sports, me being
    from there and all.
    
    Likes : The Bills, Sabres, Bisons (Pirates AAA team)
            Homebrewing (I am determined to get back into it in KY)
            my wife and three kids (Ryan (7), Rachel (3), Becky(1))
    
    Dislikes : Dolphins, Jets, Oilers, Bruins.
    
    
    So since I'm a short timer, I'll probably be in the notes a little more
    often.
    
    One thing to note:  I did predict a while back in the old Sports_91
    that the Bills and 49ers would meet in the Super Bowl.  I still hold to
    that.  I will make a further prediction: The Bills will win!  They did
    go undefeated against the NFC West this year.
    
    Another prediction I'm still holding to, but a little less confidently
    is that the Sabres will win the Adams division.  

    Pete Crouch
    At DEC for 4+ years (and determined to not make it to 5)
    Position: Finance Manager at ZSO in Bellevue, WA
    
    Likes: Seattle teams, except for the laughable Seachokes, UW football.
      Avid participant in water-skiing (went about 90 times last year),
      tennis, golf, skiing and running.
    
    Dislikes: When people put apostrophes in their team names (Bronco's,
      49er's, etc), people who can spell "lose", or "definitely".  People
      who continually point out the rules in golf, especially informing
      you when your shot is OB when you can see it sailing into the woods.

    First noted somewhere back in '85.  I got into it with a Lion fan when
    the got off to a 6-0 start.  That was when they were doin' the "Another
    one bites the dust" and it turned into "Another one kicked our butts."
    
    Anyway, I'm a Contracts Administrator in Minneapolis, MN.  Started out
    with DEC in Bedford, MA in '84 and moved home in '87.
    
    Likes:  Twins, Kirby, Gophers, Vikes (fair weather fan), Woofies, Celtics
    (not as much though, these days)  Baseball in general, pulling in games
    on radio.  Softball.
    
    Dislikes:  That no-good lyin' SOB bag of wind who left us high and dry 
    Lou Holtz, Dick Vitale, most tv football announcers - if I hear "he
    had the presence of mind" one more time...  Red Auerbach, Pro Hockey,
    the incredible waste of time on pre Super Bowl hype.  Pompous coaches.
    Cubs, Mets, ah hell the National League.  :*)  George Steinbrenner
    (took my Yanks away from me in '88)
    
    Biggest happening since I've been noting had to have been DiNsy's
    change from a Red Sox fan to a Yankee fan.  That was weird.
    
    Used to work with MrT.  Yes, he has left the building.  I haven't heard
    from him since.  Thank goodness, no more FatBob blah, blah, blah.  :*)

    Kev...
    
    (After reading more and more of this conference, I couldn't help but
    notice your 'remains' are scattered all over the place. barrump.)
    
    Anyway, 'Ptooee'is the last thing an ex-girlfriend called me, so out of 
    respect for her, I'd rather not use that, thanks. In college I used to
    get called 'Tak', until someone turned it around to 'Kat', because he
    could yell it to me easier from the dugout. That stuck for a long time,
    and even got printed on a symphony orchestra program. If the
    conference mambo kings agree, and there is no conflict with any other
    notes-entity, I'll resurrect it. 
    
    Now--do you guys hold me over a font and anoint me with pine tar and

    feel yer beLITTLEing them, although the world knows, when I started
    that infamous note, I had no harm in mind.  Did set the World speed

    Hi Kids,
    
    My name is Rick Ellis and I am visiting here in Geneva for about the 
    next 60 minutes!!  I just wanted to get in here and see if the same 
    old junky notes were still flying around mostly from Messrs. Way and 
    REK (WAG!!).
    
    See next note please.
    
    rick

    OK.  Since the previous note was such a roaring success, here we go
    with the goodies.  I left you all in September 1991 and wobbled home to 
    Canada for a few months.  Then I came back to Switzerland to get my
    money and set sail for Thailand.
    
    There I ended up liking a little hotel so much that I bought the lease
    on it together with a perverted English milkman (you know all about
    milk and mail men).  The address is:
    
    All Nations Guest House, Bar, and Restaurant
    P.O. Box 56
    77110 Hua Hin Thailand
    Phone/Fax: (66)-32-513781 (as of beginning October)
    Attn:  Rick Ellis
    
    (Hua Hin is about 200 kms./120 miles south of Bangkok on the sea.)
    
    Then I kept eating this wicked breakfast in a restaurant/bar in Bangkok
    and finally the American gent who owned it sold the lease to me EVEN
    THOUGH THE BLUE JAYS WON THE WORLD SERIES.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.  The
    address is:
    
    Eye Q Bar & Grill
    19/31 Soi Wattana
    Sukhumvit 19 Road
    10110 Bangkok
    Phone/Fax:  (66)-2-2544780  (phone works today, fax will work as of
    1-October.  Phone will default to fax if unanswered after 4 or 5 rings,
    so best to fax in the afternoon Eastern time as it is night time
    there.)
    
    See next note please.

    Hey, howzit Rick... good to hear from ya...
    

Rick, man, I musta been seriously into heavy drugs back then because
I cain't remember you.....  But that's okay, my long term memory is useless
and short term memory only lasts a few minutes anyway.   What did I say
my name was?

That blow-up doll comment was a low blow pardner....  I might just have
to come to Bangkok to settle the score 8^)

    Never mind 'Saw - forget the doll but bring the Jack or whatever it is

    Don't forget a couple of things:
    
    I am in THAILAND,
    the wimmen is beautiful and everywhere
    the big A is not a worry.  Don't believe what you read
    it is hot and humid
    beer costs less than two bucks
    it is always sunny
    I scream at all the sports live all the time
    If you ever go there we will take care of anyone from DEC who sends a
    fax announcing his/her arrival in advance, AND FINALLY
    you will probably never want to go home except to see family.

Claybone, I'm surprised at you.  You were a monstah DB...you should know
what it's like.

You've got the guy lined up in your sights, and you're almost beside
yourself with excitement because you know you're getting like a free,
unmolested shot.

You crunch the guy, driving through him, and into the ground.  You hear
the little "whoosh" of air going out of him, and when you get up and look
down, he's got a little snot running out of his nose (blood is better, but
tougher to get).....

The best is when you hit them so hard you can watch their eyes roll back
in their head -- that's SO cool....

Course, what goes around, comes around, as I often learned....

There's always a way around classified information....especially
space alien classified information.  Remember, it was space aliens
who killed Kennedy, and that was supposed to be classified information,
but we found out about it.....

Space Aliens are wily creatures and you always have to be on the lookout for
them.

I'm going to post this here for the benefit of Walt's co-workers when
he returns.  This will allow them to know if he is indeed a Space Alien:




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 YOUR CO-WORKER COULD BE A SPACE ALIEN, SAY EXPERTS ... here's how you can
 tell (by Michael Cassels of the "National Enquirer")

 Many Americans work side by side with space aliens who look human -
 but you can spot these visitors by looking for certain
 tip-offs, say experts.

 They listed 10 signs to watch for:

 1. Odd or mismatched clothes.  "Often space aliens don't fully
 understand the different styles, so they wear combinations
 that are in bad taste, such as checked pants with a striped
 shirt or a tuxedo jacket with blue jeans or sneakers," noted
 Brad Steiger, a renowned UFO investigator and author.

 2. Strange diet or unusual eating habits.  Space aliens might
 eat French fries with a spoon or gobble down large amounts of
 pills, the experts say.

 3. Bizarre sense of humor.  Space aliens who don't understand
 earthly humor may laugh during a serious company training film
 or tell jokes that no one understands, said Steiger.

 4. Takes frequent sick days.  A space alien might need extra
 time off to "rejuvenate its energy," said Dr. Thomas Easton,
 a theoretical biologist and futurist.

 5. Keeps a written or tape recorded diary.  "Aliens are constantly
 gathering information." said Steiger.


 6. Misuses everday items. "A space alien may use correction fluid
 to paint its nails," said Steiger.

 7. Constant questioning about customs of co-workers.  Space aliens
 who are trying to learn about earth culture might ask questions that
 seem stupid, Easton said.

 "For example, a co-worker may ask why so many Americans picnic on
 the Fourth of July," noted Steiger.

 8. Secretive about personal life-style and home.  "An alien won't
 discuss domestic details or talk about what it does at night or
 on weekends," said Steiger.

 9. Frequently talks to himself. "An alien may not be used to
 speaking as we do,so an alien may practice speaking," Steiger noted.

 10. Displays a change of mood or physical reaction when near certain
 high-tech hardware. "An alien may experience a mood change when a
 microwave oven is turned on," said Steiger.  The experts pointed out
 that a co-worker would have to display most if not all of these
 traits before you can positively identify him as a space  alien.


    

re: -.1

Walt's a positive on 1 through 3, and 6, 8, 9 and 10.  Don't know about the 
others as I don't work with him.  7 out of 10 must qualify him as an alien, or
he's morphing into one!

Warn Gin!  This explains a lot about the Waltman!

Flying Zamboni

>Warn Gin!  This explains a lot about the Waltman!

No, I don't think so.  I think she's the reason he's morphin' into an
alien... 

He was fine before he went out there....

    will be fine when he gets back to the East, if he really wants to go
    back.  Stranger things have happened.
    
    I dont need to be warned about Walt.  I know all about him now.  And he
    is far from cold when debriefed.  Quite the oposite.

That's the way it starts with Space Aliens... as buddies.  Next thing you
know -- whammo, you're on their ship and their sticking this big needles
into your cranium sucking out your brain juices to experiment with.

Then, they put you back into society to spy for them....

"Laugh while you can, monkey boy".....  then I'll know he's still

    Not bitterness; just dislike.
    
    But the list wasn't base on teams that pound the Cavs/Tribe/Browns

    Digital Consulting (currently on a Customer Site)
    
    Pretty much like all Pittsburgh teams. Dislike NY teams (my brother
    lives in NYC so I hear it from him). 
    
    For College teams... WVU is it (they should of been playing for the
    National title - I know thats another note).  The only 2 college teams
    I hate are ND and Penn State (yes, they usually beat up on the
    Mountaineers). 
    
    My wife, Karen, works for Digital as well (pretty scary having both
    incomes from Digital). We have a 16 month old son (Scott) who likes all
    the teams I root for and boos the teams I hate!

    re .253
    
    Graduated class of 1977, lived in Bel Air B dorm for 3 years.  Was
    sorry to see the old Varsity Grill (and the Black and Tans) bite the
    dust after I left.  Went to the Cottn Bowl on Jan 1, 1977(?)(we had
    Houston's QB in the end zone!)  Remember Brad Davis and Brian Majid
    (Shooot!)
    
    TWERPS! Ha, Testudo never flew when I graduated!
    
    
    UMDan

    Brian Magid!-Now that's a name from the past. What a shooter,he came
    too early before three pointers.
    
    That Cotton Bowl was a typical Maryland tease. They are blown away by
    Houston in first half-fall behind 24-0,score three quick TD's and have
    Houston backed up to end zone,but QB(Danny Davis) escapes sure safety
    and Houston drives 98 yards to clinch it 31-21.
    
    That Terp team was 11-0 but didn't get a lot of respect because that
    was the one year Penn State wasn't scheduled. The Terps' record against
    them is something like 1-28-1. 

	Danny Davis worked for DEC in Houston sales for awhile back in the early
80's. Had him on my flag football team.  We ran a modified Houston Veer with
some great success.

    	So Cad, were you THE line?  :*)
    
    Claybone

	No clayboy!  I was the blocking back and backup QB. Great combo, he'd
pull the defense to the sideline, flip it back to me and I'd hit the deep guy
on the fly. Not to many expect this old buffalo to be able to fling that Duke 60
yard's and hit some guy they dropped coverage on.


  Cadzilla2

I've been RONning (no relation to the estimable Cliff) in this file for
a while, but haven't seen the need to make a contribution til now, as
George Maiewski has held up my side of the Baseball Strike discussion
perfectly well (OK, the rest of you, start shooting).

I'm an American living in Munich, Germany since 1977. I came to Digital
as a part of the Philips acquisition (frying pan to fire, for a fact).
I'm a UNIX specialist working in the DC SIC Retail Banking, waiting for
the ax to fall.

My first loves are baseball and hockey, which I follow via videotape.
I get two ballgames a week in the can (one Giants, one White Sox).  My
best pal is a passionate New York Ranger fan, and we get all their
games through his brother.

I also follow boxing, to the extent possible (very limited coverage on
German TV), and of course football (the game played with the feet), and
was fascinated by the passion the World Cup aroused in this file (much
more heat than light, I'm afraid: "Soccer is boring, and I don't care
how many godzillion foreigners watch it" vs. "Oh yeah, well, baseball
is for girls").

I have a low level of interest in basketball and detest American football.
I still haven't forgiven the NFL for playing the weekend President
Kennedy was buried.

One thing this Notesfile has made clear to me is that I have evidently
lost touch with the evolution of the American language.  Really sorry
about the loss of Kevin Farley, who was making a major contribution to
my reeducation.  I will just have to concentrate that much harder,
trying to figure out what JaKe is saying.

This might be the most entertaining Notesfile in the entire Net, and I
hope to be around long enough to enjoy it for a while.

What good is a king without a crown.  No crown, no king, that's what I
think....

Hal,

I was bragging on ya down at my local sprots-bar/OTB/watering hole for the
past few weeks.  When you hit 10-0 people started to disbelieve your prowess,
so I sent them your picks from last weeks pool on Friday -- figuring to shut
them up...  Damned if I wasn't flooded with e-mail yesterday claiming 
The King went 2-10.  Tell me it aint so!

Yeah, there's good kings (Claybone) and bad-egotistical kings (Hal) and
quite frankly Hal might have made them picks, but even Dr Midnight, had
he ever been KoH, wouldn't have had this tood.....

I think Hal should even have to say Please when he axes for his crown....

Sort of reminds 'ya of Prince Hal as described in Shakespeare.

    I think ya should hold onto it until we find a king who is truly worthy
    of the corwn, either that or burn it in protest.

    	Yes, real American Gridiron.   
    
    	We were formed 11 years ago, and I have played since then.   From
    1987, every two years at the end of our season, we come accross to the
    States to play an Alumni team from Perry, OHIO.   We stay with the
    other players and their families.   So far we have lost all four games
    on four separate visits, but the last one we were winning right up to 3
    minutes left in the fourth Quarter when the heat & humidity finally to
    us.   
    
    	Every year we Import a couple of Americans, usually a QB and WR
    combination or DB.   We also have a couple of Americans from the U.S.
    airbase in Edzell that also play, but your only allowed 2 on the field
    at the same time (British Gridiron rules).
    
    	Its just a hobbie, I have to keep telling myself, but I take it very
    seriously lifting 4 times a week and football practice 3 times.   In

Not familiar with them -- only familiar with the Dallas Harlequins RFC on

    Dallas took their name from Harlequins, who are a London based Rugby

That's like the Wanderers took their name from the Dublin Wanderers.

I'm not sure that it is authentic, but I still have it.

    Actually, Arsenal are the most boring football side in the universe to
    watch. Most of the games they win, are won by a score of 1 - 0, usually
    scoring in the last two minutes of a game.
    
    They have an absolute muppet of a centre forward in Ian Wright, a
    coke-head on the right wing and a Dutch midfielder whose only there for

    father of Shawn Gallagher, a minor leaguer with the Texas Rangers

    Hi!
       My name is Gary Shields and I'm in security at DEC, Hudson. To say I
    like sports would be an understatement. I have, at one time or another
    played or coached the following sports: Baseball, Football, Basketball,
    Table Tennis, Pool, Darts, Bowling, Softball (slo & fast pitch). I
    started playing Golf 3 years ago and I like it but I'm not very good at
    it:). 
    
    Anyway, you'll hear from me from time to time.

Welcome Gary.

The real question is do you like figger skating?

TTom

    Yes, I like figure skating but I can't skate. And I'm still trying
    to understand Ice Hockey, which I play all the time on Sega but still
    don't understand some of the penalties.
    
     Other sports that I like but don't do: Stock Car racing (driving back and
    forth to work is enough), snow Skiing (the idea of me going down a hill 
    on two waxed boards at 70 m.p.h. just doesn't appeal to me) and Water   
    skiing (did it once but they tell me the object is to stay above the    
    water:).
    
    I guess I really only dislike one sport and that's Soccer. I just don't
    see what's so exciting about it.

What you need to know is that in reality, it's all up to the ref.  What might
be a holding penalty in the early first period almost never gets called late in
the third in a tie game....8^)

    
>     Other sports that I like but don't do: Stock Car racing (driving back and
>    forth to work is enough), 

For a nominal fee, and a trip to Charlotte, NC, you CAN drive a stock car.
They only let you get up to around 130 or so, but it can be done.  My brother
did it, and his overwhelming reaction was 

	"I don't know how those guys do it.  They're strapped in so
	 tight they can't move, and  you're always on the edge of 
	 losing it..."


    
>    I guess I really only dislike one sport and that's Soccer. I just don't

I'm convinced soccer is an acquired taste for Americans.  If you have played
it, you appreciate it more than if you haven't.  And it takes some time to get
used to the pace -- way too slow for people who love the fast dash of say
basketball.

The oddest thing is that Europeans love to bash us on baseball, how slow and
boring it is, when we say the same thing about their "national pastime...."


'Saw

    You know, it's really weird but I find watching Baseball to be about as
    exciting as watching paint dry. But I love watching it in person. Go
    figure!
    
    
    Gary S.

I like LISTENING to baseball -- you can be doing other things while you're
listening.

    Yeh but does Kim think you're really, really wierd to be "listening" to
    a baseball game.  I've definitely seen that reaction before from women.
    
    Now many women from the New England area know baseball but of all the
    sports it's apparently the strangest.

No.  She'd rather watch baseball live than on the TV, but she doesn't pay a
whole helluva lot of attention to what I'm listening to when I'm working on
something.
