As we discuss the anadromous zones of the threadfin shad in the father
reaches of the Elizabeth River (at the Hague) in downtown Nawfawk.....

(A digital map could be made available. However see Point 1's rebuttal).

Navy men may often have a discharge. But aside from this, it must be noted
that East Main in Nawfawk has no more bars. All it is now is mirrored glass
walls where one sees neither owls nor Rachel. This was reported last summer 
when I was there on a factfinding mission; hunting the wily HazWaste site.

(See alt.animation.warner_brothers: there may be a call to the WB
board to retire Porky Pig. His st-st-stutter is not P-P-P-P-C.
I ask, why should it be? Mine isn't...)

Touch my anadromous zones. Please.
