I seem to be very sensitive to cigarette smoke, it apparently irritates me into sneezing and coughing at a very light exposure level, and even a #3 (per Joachim's definition extension) household would produce LEGO that I would probably (...)

On occasion, I bring my Robots to Night Clubs and Bars or (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)
