Sharpshooter & Pyrate,

I'm still tryin' to figure out if you smear chicken grease on the joint 
does it increase the centroid displacement?

Recent conversation with son re: penchant of tolerably educated friends 
to chat over beers re: modernism, post-modernism, what is it, when did 
it start? Did post-modernism actually start w/ Descartes? I thought that 
Descartes marks the origination of Modernism and that Andy Warhol marks 
the advent and decease of the post-modern? While tweaking window sash 
refinish to suit our sensibilities we came up with the philosophy of 
Manureism.

Pre-chicken, chicken, post-chicken, post-post-chicken.

We can't wait to talk this over next time we see Joe Jenkins... who is 
now back from Mongolia where he had been wandering around helping the 
locals establish their humanures.

Recently read article by Steve Martin in New Yorker. Describes his early 
pre-professional career and his experience in the study of logic in 
college. His conclusion was to drop philosophy and pursue a career as a 
comic.
