Co., Everett, WA Lines: 28 Well, I have finally gotten all of my Dave Barry articles keyed in, and will soon begin posting one each week to net.jokes. I have 14 of these articles, two of which I have posted before, but I intend to post all of them in a series, for those who are interested. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Dave Barry's work, he is a humorist who writes essays on topics ranging from childbirth to roller-coasters to personal computers. His pieces are generally a few hundred words (60 or 70 lines for you inveterate net-wits |-), and are good clean fun, though I should warn you he is sometimes cynical, and *always* disrespectful. Please: as I post these articles, if you have any commentary, either send them to net.jokes.d or to me - I am not the author, however, and will not reply to flames based on their content. Two more things: THING 1 - A question: if you know where Barry is writing these days, will you please let me know? I'd be interested in subscribing to the publication. THING 2 - A request: if anyone else has any of these gems tucked away, send a photocopy and I'll key it in ( or *you* key it in and send it to the net!)
