608.0. "Deception-Not the Perfume!" by USAT05::SANDERR () Sat Dec 02 1995 08:11

    Looks are deceiving.  Don't judge a book by its cover.  What's in a
    name?  
    
    These expressions only begin to depict the somewhat infamous game of
    hiding behind n mirrors.
    
    The jury's still out.  Are you being deceived?  Have you ever judged
    someone before really knowing them?  When is a name not a name, or when
    it is really not a name but ina a name that is never close to the name
    you thought?

Yes. Your typing is improving.

    Unfortunately, it is doubtful that you will improve thus sparing us all
    from your great dullnitudinous babbling.
608.3POLAR::WILSONCstrive to look better nakedSun Dec 03 1995 00:1414
    I always judge people by the way they look, but my judgements are not
    written in stone. A certain amount of prejudging is neccesary, it acts
    as a filter. Otherwise I would go up to talk to everybody i see. I
    choose those people with whom I wish to speek by their appearance. I
    always go for the freaks, you'd never catch me chatting up some guy
    with $500 leather loafers, a $3000 Armani suit, serenghettis, you know
    the type. Of course I might approach him if their was a certain look in
    his eye, so it's really a 'got to be there' sorta situation. But yes I
    do judge people by the way they look, I think it's something we all do
    and the silly liberals have led us to believe that we shouldn't act
    that way.

        I can only hope this means you won't be pestering me any time soon.

    Pardon me, I seem to be taking a bout of Topazian Disparagementitis.

    I try not to, but in your case I'll make an exception.  Go away.  And
    don't leave a forwarding address.

    Shawn, that was a blatant ripoff of my trademark. You will be visited
    by three goons in three piece suits shortly.

    	Hey, did you ever [tm] that phrase?
    
    	I think not.
    
    	And besides, it was a TRIBUTE, not a rip-off.  Someone had to
    	continue the tradition while you were out.  [And welcome back,
    	BTW].
