This The Season
Throughout the day I hear the "thwickety-thwackety" of flip flops over the near silence of the library.

This sound would drive ynamiynami nuts.
But sometimes that sound signals the passing of conspicuously under-dressed young women, some of whom are worth looking at.

I love looking at those braless big-boobed babes wearing those semi-see-through mesh shirts walking around campus wearing those shorts that are so small their buttcheeks are exposed.

I'm a perv! I hope my wife isn't reading this. ;-)

I'm in turmoil about that whole connumdrum. I'm strangely more tolerant of the thwickety-thwackerty noise coming from the female intern's feet than from those of the hairy male intern.

Hairy - I mean this boy is hairy, the Chewbacca (sp?) of the intern world.

Some of the hill interns are hotties though - You can see Senator Perv's office made the decision on academic prowess alone.

Ditto TomT. My office overlooks main street Cody. Summertime is great!! Over the 3rd and 4th of July here there are parades every day. I stayed to "answer" the phones, which never ring anyway.

I brought up my binoculars to watch the "parade". The owner came in to watch the parade too and thought it was a great idea to bring the bino's up to see the "parade". Little did he know that I was watching other things.

I saw a girl in flip flops last week who had these real hairy legs and then she raised her arms and I thought I was going to throw up. Her armpit hair was longer than mine. Yuck..and she wasn't even french.

Ooooo, lookin' down on the cleavage, er, uh, parade, huh?

ynami, I was a messenger in D.C. in '80.
Washington has women from all over the world and some of the finest.
The finest of the fine, though, were in the House and Senate office buildings.
Gee, isn't that curious?

AMERICA'S GREAT NATIONAL PASTIME
(Skip Battin and Kim Fowley)

Skip Battin - Lead Vocal, Bass, Piano
Roger McGuinn - Harmony Vocals, Acoustic Guitar
Clarence White - Harmony Vocals, Mandolin, Acoustic and Electric Guitar
Gene Parsons - Harmony Vocals, Drums


One of America's great national pastimes is drinkin' a Coke
Takin' a smoke, tellin' a joke
One of America's great national pastimes is playin' ball
Takin' it all and thinkin' so small

Ah, but the great taste of Coke has refreshed players
The hot and the tired, the weary and the sore
The great taste of Coke has refreshed players
The hot and the tired, the weary and the sore

One of America's great national pastimes is chocolate fudge
Carryin' a grudge, bribing the judge
One of America's great national pastimes is poisoning rain
Acting insane, inflicting pain

Ah, but the great taste of Coke has refreshed players
The hot and the tired, the weary and the sore
The great taste of Coke has refreshed players
The hot and the tired, the weary and the

Instrumental (Mandolin, Piano and Electric Guitar)

One of America's great national pastimes is her worship of speed
Planting the seeds, takin' more than she needs
One of America's great national pastimes is cutting the grass
Grabbin' some ass, living too fast

Ah, but the great taste of Coke has refreshed players
The hot and the tired, the weary and the sore
The great taste of Coke has refreshed players
The hot and the tired, the weary and the

Teva makes a pair for about $20. It is you basic thong sandal. Did I say thong?

Opie, TNF makes a pair but they don
''t weigh any less. I've seen them on sale everywhere lately. STP has the chick's version for $30. I got mine for $18 last year at EMS. They're over a pound. =(

I found a comfortable pair in STP some time ago (but they probably don't make them anymore, but Anyway): Merrells with nice wide neoprene straps and fastex buckles... non-skid, non-marking soles. Great for sailing as well as stream crossings. Could be lighter, I guess.

It is a discussion...
about the moral degenerosity of the Democratic Party...

Yo Opie...forget those cheapass teva's. I recently got a pair of Chaco's...the ones with the snowtire Vibram tread...killer sandles and you can hike in em too. I sent my Asolo Scramblers back to STP and have been living in the Chaco's. GREAT sandle.
