-Re: Whats in a name?

That is really funny! It isn't true, is it? Or is it? Can't be, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! If it weren't for my computer and this list, I'd never get to read things like this! Can you imagine asking an old woman reader (or a young one) to read that sort of stuff to me? I enjoyed that! Bob and Harley

Pray that it had been truly secret, then I would not have my sanity assulted and my intelligence insulted with news reports of what isn't being allowed to the "Press"! First her child in church a top story, though more a coming attraction (I should have heeded the danger flashes in my head and unplugged my TV for a day!) of the upcoming nuptuals. Now we learn her gown - I'm sure it will be strikingly grotesque - might have been designed by this or that freak designer, and some famous someone else might be in attendance, and some renown hollywood actress may have been a Maid of Honor, and so on. And Sting sang Ave Maria, we knew he would - who more appropriate? We knew only one picture was to be "released". That too, I am sure will be grotesque, if not in content, certainly in the message it delivers: Jesus fed a multitude with three fish and five loafs of bread. This icon to idiocy has the ocean and the fields and she throws a crumb to the world. And sadly much of the world waits to receive it like a commmunion. Good God! Yes, I could have chosen to turn it off. But I was pissed that I was pissed enough to consider that and I didn't. Besides, we do not learn by closing the book. I learned that the news media is a puppet slave to some great dexterous all-controlling Hand. Now I am interested in finding out what body that hand is attached to.

NOW HERE THIS!!!,,,,or read,,,,which might be a better

Having known all the hype around the event,,,what did you
really expect??? You refer to her as an icon to idiocity,
then you reference this to the liking of communion of
christian faiths,,,,,then you argue the point amongst
yourself as to your decision to turn it off or watch,,,
which has me wondering,,,how did you get to view this,,,
socalled "private" event???,,,,OH!,,,,you got the gory
details from news reports,,,,,,lucky you!,,,when the rest
of the world,,,like you say,,is feeding off the crumbs of

WELL,,,,MR DICK!,,,I'm glad you kept us informed about the
misguided one. I hope all your efforts will save us from
her evil endeavors. I, myself, don't give a FLYING FUCK!,,
about what Madonna does, who she thinks she is or what the
rest of the conscious world cares about how, why, when or
where she decides to be public while trying to be private!!
I honestly hope you are not that consumed with happenings
some celebs that it consumes you. That's when it becomes
obsession, which leads to trouble. If you would try reading
your words before releasing them, you might get a better
understanding of what & how you're trying to convey your
thoughts & feelings. Your last paragraph is so
uncomprehensible that it makes the rest of your statement
pale and non-impactive when read thoroughly. I know I will
have replys to this response. Be they good, be they bad,,,,
I fear not, BECAUSE, I, shall live on to another day!,,&

Subject: Christmas Lockers Have a look-see in the Silverfoxes Clubhouse Locker Room at and follow the links to five silverfox Christmas Lockers: 1) "A Present from Santa" (Come and get it!) 2) "Santa Is Cummin' to Town" (Are you ready?) *****and a Clubhouse tradition (Namely, me!): 3) "Panty Santy" 4) "Panty Santy's Christmas Tree" 5) "Santa Baby" PLUS The first of a new series: "Lockers"! From the Locker Room lobby, click on the hand opening the locker door to enter. Then follow the link to our own Tantric, a returning star from previous Clubhouse rooms. He is appearing in the opening two pages of Silverfoxes Album 1. More pix will be added to the album next week, when Foxhunters Album 1 will also debut. The great thing about the Clubhouse Lockers is that all the guys are available for correspondence. Their e-addresses are included. There are plenty of silverfoxes AND foxhunters. They are all REAL people. Do you want a Locker? Why not? Get your camera and send me some pix. If you send enough and they are GOOD, maybe I can give you a nice pictorial. If you only have one or two pix, they will fit nicely in the new albums. There are hundreds of guys milling around in the Lockers day and night from everywhere. It's a good place to be if you want to meet somebody who likes what you have to offer. That's a big step forward, you know. But you have a responsibility, too, if you're just shopping. Don't lie about yourself when you write to them. Always tell the truth, and send them a picture if you can, so they can see you, too. Fair is fair. Do you get my drift?
Happy Holidays!
Subject: Hanukkah: Festival of miracles great and small Ben Boxer says: Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish subscribers! (CNN, 12/21/00)
Text:
One day, the Greeks came to a village to erect an altar and commanded the Jews to bring a pig for sacrifice. Mattathias, an old priest, was enraged at seeing a Jew obey this order and killed the man. Mattathias and his five sons engaged the Greeks in battle, then retreated to the mountains and began a guerrilla war. Before his death, Mattathias passed on leadership to his son Judah the Maccabee. Judah Maccabee's forces eventually defeated the armies of Antiochus, liberated Jerusalem and reclaimed the Temple from the Greeks. At the Temple, they found but one small cruse of oil, enough to last one day, but when they lit the Temple menorah with it, the candle burned for eight days -- setting the length for the observance of Hanukkah. Hanukkah begins on the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev. The most frequent translation of Hanukkah is "dedication" - that is, the rededication of the Temple after its desecration by the Greeks. Hanukkah's role evolved over time from a concentration on the so-called miracle of the oil to a military focus on the victory of the Maccabees over the armies of Antiochus. Jews in the United States, influenced by the festival's proximity to the Christian celebration of Christmas, made gift-giving a part of the tradition. Its closeness to Christmas also lent Hanukkah more importance in the Jewish festival cycle than it had outside the United States. In Israel, the festival's association with the Maccabees' defeat of the Syrian-Greek armies resonates with many who draw comparisons between the suppression of Jewish culture during that time and during more recent times. The major ritual associated with Hanukkah is the lighting of a Hannukiah, the name for the menorah (candle holder). It is lighted each night of Hanukkah after sundown. One light is added each night until all eight are lit.
The festival has no prescribed meals -- though
eating potato pancakes called latkes is a tradition
-- but many people have parties or invite friends
over to light the candles, eat, exchange gifts and
play dreidel, a top bearing Hebrew letters
meaning "a great miracle occurred here/there
(here in Israel, there elsewhere.)" Subject: For silver foxes that will visit Crete in Greece next year
Hello all, John ------------------------------ End of silverfoxesclub-digest V1 #85

The story has its beginnings two centuries earlier
than that victory, with the conquest of the Near
East by Alexander the Great and his Greek
armies. On his death, lesser leaders battled for
control of the area. Eventually, the land of Israel
came under control of the Seleucid dynasty of
the Syrian region, ultimately ruled by Antiochus.
In 167 B.C., Antiochus ordered everyone under
his rule to follow his path into Hellenization --
assimilation into Greek culture. For the region's
Jews, rituals such as the observance of the
Sabbath and circumcision were outlawed. The
worship of Greek gods and the sacrifice of pigs
replaced traditional Jewish worship in the
Temple of Jerusalem.
