    planet or peanut?

    
    Don't worry Oph, you fit either way. :-)

  what's this?  nothing about knowing more famous musicians than
  you can shake a drum stick at?  hmm.

    phew.  i am relieved.

    
    Depends on whether it's a qualifying or disqualifying consideration...

    	Well, number 4 counts me out.
    
    	di, you sound bitter.
    

  .6  aagagagag!  <wiping away tear>

   by the way, i'm disqualified on several counts. ;>

    no way!

    
    You two! Is there no end to the $#!+ you're willing to give
    one humin bean? :-) :-)
    
    Listen up, you're not getting this. It's not to decide whether
    you fit according to my list, it's to say what would be
    YOUR qualifying/disqualifying characteristics.
    
    For example:
    
    	- Must not be bitter because some other little fart face
    	  got the gig.
    
    See?... easy.

  >  Listen up, you're not getting this.

     okay, so what you're saying is that we're disqualified under
     #1 then.  Karen?  are you as crushed as i am?


   

    We already have a note for what makes a quality boxer........

    
    #1, BTW, refers to the "Marvin the Robot" character in Douglas
    Adam's "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"...

    to do is..."

    > We already have a note for what makes a quality boxer........
    
    Well. Then take me out and shoot me now; life just isn't
    worth it anymore...

    Same here... shoot me too...

    Android.  Marvin The Paranoid Android.  It's very important not to
    call him a robot because he gets a terrible pain in all the diodes
    down his left side.  My fave quote from Marv was when he got left in
    the restaurant at the end of the universe:
    
    	"The first three million years were the worse.  Then the next three
         million years were also the worse.  After that, I went into a bit
         of a decline...."
    
    

    I personally liked when they passed Marvin on the way to God's last
    message to creation.  He informs them that he's done enough time travel
    that he is officially 3 times older than the universe itself and during
    that time he's had everything replaced.  Everything except those diodes
    that cause him pain on his left side.

Or to that effect...

    >	- Must have a brain the size of a planet.
    
     Preferably a working one. ie, one must be capable of independent
    thought.
    
    >	- Must have a great sense of humor.
    
     A sharp wit is especially favored, but even an appreciation for the
    same will qualify.
    
    >	- Must not be noticably anal retentive.
    
     You can be anal retentive, unless that's all you are.

     Limited exceptions can be made to this rule, dependent on other
    factors.

     Sorry. No exceptions. :-)

     Regular bathing is a must. Preferably in water as opposed to eau de
    toilette.
    
    I'll add to the list the following:
    
    Must have an appreciation for non-technical things. Art, music, unnamed
    agricultural products, food, etc.
    
    Must be able to carry on a conversation without instilling a sense of
    "omigawd, how'd I get stuck talking to this person?" in others.
    
    Must personally identify with at least 3 of the following terms:
    
     passion, compassion, honesty, responsibility, character
    
    Ego must fall short of boorishness. (At least most of the time.) :-)

	- must be capable of insulting someone in at least 2 languages

	- must have the ability to insult someone with a compliment

    I don't need Ban.  I already bathed in toilet water.  And it was bloody
    hard fitting in that toilet, I can tell you.

        Perhaps you're a leper con.
