About the time I was annoying math teachers with Apple ]['s, I was also realising my dreams as a burgeoning writer. I showed some of my literary spewings-forth to some of my friends, who showed it to some of their lesser-known friends, who showed it to some even more obscure folks; this generated what you are about to read. Or not. The Slosh is split into sections, nominally entitled 'chapters'. They include 1, 2, 3, 17, 37 (VGA Graphics Version), size nine, and a whole pile of extruded aluminum slats. There is no spoon, nor is there a Chapter 11 nor any Epilogue. Live with it, buy your own 80's CD's. Depending on what number you put in the box above (hint: contemplate the difference between zero and one), you may or may not find more stuff below.

To further divide The Slosh, each 'chapter' is separated, at essentially neorandom intervals, into sections. Herein exists a list thereof, along with their titles:

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 4

Chapter 5

Chapter 6

Chapter 7

Chapter 8

Chapter 9

Chapter 10

Chapter 11

emu 3 June 2000 (I'm baaaack, and I'm married. So there!)

This is the preamble to the introduction to the beginning of something (that we know what it is but we aren't going to tell you. Yet. We will, but right now we are just telling you that we WILL tell you, at some future point.)

Optimists say that the glass of water is half full.

Pessimists say that the glass is half empty.

And then there are those people who say it's bone dry and swarming with leeches... the following is written and read by that sort of people.

Know then, that this is The Slosh, and it is what it is, and isn't much of anything else.

    TTTTTTTTTT               SSSSSSS

(dontcha love ASCIIart?)

WARNING: No Surgeon-General would bother to read this nonsense. Seriously though, we use some very explicit language and some that is irritatingly vague, so if either is bothersome or offensive to you, please, read no further. Oh yeah and we use a lot of technogibberish so those not electromechanically tended might consider us some sort of verbal cyberlitterpunks; we prefer to consider ourselves cyberliterarypunks, and prime punsters. Those silly enough to brave the dangers of the shti contained herein may find small treasure or pleasure in the following pages. It is a sizeable chunk of my life, tied up in words and thoughts; and much of other people's lives as well. Some might say that it is counterculture's representation of life in this era (or perhaps another long since past or even yet to come); others might consider it a grand vindication of the human condition. Personally, I see it as random musings by several confused teenagers-turned-young-adults trying (with some success I might hasten to add!) to find themselves, or at least a facsimile thereof (I don't ask to be infinitely rich... N rich as N approaches infinity would do nicely!)

The Slosh is sometimes an icon of its age, or one seemingly gone gone (though in reality just round memory's corner); other times it is a beacon of hope and light to those lost in these dark times. In any event it seems to be a function of time so perhaps in a while it will go away.

Editor's notes, 27 March 1997. Here we are again. Yet another new year (YANY.) At one point I just voted VI just oatted. Squatonomo just farted. Geesh, wipe up after yourself, nardbreath. Apologies and explanations for the new look and terminology are in order. As a point of reference, due to unfortunate circumstances and the general weirdness surrounding my living arrangements as always, the CompuPro that The Slosh lived on is gone. Permanently. The PC (this week: P5/133) I use is now the home for TS. I realize I said I would never go the PC, but now I must. I'm sorry. Prototwack.

But with the new machine, we get a new look; for I now have an HP LaserJet Plus, which, though big and ugly, has fantastic-looking output. And it's fast: we can dump the whole Slosh in about 15 minutes, when it used to take an hour or so on the Panasonic. Mind you it does bad things to the server (this week: NT3.51SP4) from which the printer hangs. But don't tell that to the hyenas.

Heh. As mentioned in other places, the Plus finally gave up the ghost. Built like a fuckin' tank, it was, and it just wouldn't die, even when I wanted it to :-). Okay, cool ... it's been replaced by an LJ III, with JetDirect (internal!) and 4MB extra RAM. Anybody know if it will go to 9MB? The printer server at the minute is in fact NT4SP3 this week, but hey, Canadians speaking German, you know?

The fonts are heinous (hyenas?), the speed is amazing, and I even have a WordStar for this PC. Not that I use it anymore; heck, from 8 July 1996 to 20 March 1997 I tried the antichrist - Microsoft Office's Word 6 (err, with the advent of more bits here, Word 7 on Win95SP1). As so much of the incoming documents are Un*x-formatted, and I so often need to output to a text file for the web version of this file, Word may well be a convenient solution. As it worked out, I'm actually going pure HTML now, editing the chapters with EDIT in a DOS box under 95 (while running Netscape as well!). Heh heh, do THAT on a CompuPro (well, spose if I ported Lynx...)

So maybe then, in the cosmic scheme of things, the PC isn't all bad, and The Slosh can live on it. At least for now, it has to. It and I have no choice - regardless of where it lives and where it prints, still, it's a lot of work. And though Windows is irritable, the P5/133, the S3 PCI SVGA and the Seagate 2GB are SO sweet!... (when they all work!<g> But what a FutherMucker when they crash. Goddam Peecees make my peecee my pc pants.!)

And we even got our own domain -- check it out, http://www.slosh.com, 'cuz it's how The Slosh is published now, period, end of story, no more fuckin' disks or turnip squiddly grodite-soups!

WARNING! DANGER! ALERT! NOTICE! CAUTION!

PLEASE READ! DEAD PIGEONS! NOTE!

Emu, take a letter. Zog needs chocolate. And beer. But not chocolate beer. That would be bad. Excuse me Egon, but didn't you tell me that pissing in the beer was BAD?

Dear Grandma. I am glad to hear about your return from the Zarquon. How is the left foot full stop. My testes are so much less inflamed now. Caagh. Dear Mrs Noodle. I am writing to you from prison, yes, the Noodle Prison. Better than the Noodle Prism. Less noodles become distracted that way. Refractory noodles are a pain in the rainbow. September gurls... I find it interesting that we're both caught up inside a big noodle. Yours is your husband,; afro-dizzy Ack! Proto squidly quack.

Interstellar cheese from the armpits of Alpha Centauri our closest neighbor besides Ralph up the hill. Ralph is not armpit cheese from Alpha Centauri. By the way, please take out the trash. There is no cheese in the trash; No Seņor Molino there are no bazingas in the trash. The bats are out of my head. So is the beer. The difference between a pun and a poon is a joke that smells bad. Spells bad. Aaron Spelling? Tori Amos. Rampage Nods. Zog Nods? Egg Zog.

It has more alcohol. Rum in EggNog. Half a pint of Old Crow Bourbon. Okra bourbon? Oprah Winburger. Fat gwahk aaah! Elderly robot? No, Kathleen Robinson. Burp! A Cuisinart is not a queasy nard; if your nard is upchucking the last thing you need is pure A. Hurray? Pure energy. New lay. Nolan is not gay. No no no seņor Bazinga the molinos are in the toaster owen now. That's another thing from the seventies. Better than Rampage Nards. Where on the Ox do you find the Oxnard? Petula Clark??? Petula CRL.COM? Rampage Noodle.

Owen is an anagram for Newo; and an antigram for cheese. Graham Chapman please? Owen would explode if we showed him the Slosh. Very messy. Owen exploded, not the slosh. Though it is too, but not as much.

Twelve years ago my dick fell off; since then I've been playing with soda. Soda crackers. Well then. Allrighty then. This stuff is awful I should try a different bottle. Kathleen Robinson is not Kathleen Sullivan. NO SPANDEX!!! Damn that's a lot of semicolons. Enematic bliss?

In fact, in gfact, with ghovbercraft, you just kneel. Bow wow before the one you bark, you're going to get what you reserved. Kitty litter, Mark Mothersbaugh. I want Belana Torres dropped on top of me. How many times can I mis-spell B'lana Tores in one document? Under no circumstances should one search conceptually for Klingon names in this document. Underwear no circumcisions would fun birch contraceptively for Spawn Forth in this procurement.

Cheese Johnny. Like Johnny Cash. You change it like Johnny Cat. Put cheese in my armpit. Different kind every week. Munster one week, monterey the next. Like the Random Stool Color of the Week. Like chocolate pudding. I like it, but I'm not used to spooning my armpits. Armpit is an anagram for ratmip, like ratnip. Wally? Rats climbing the walls of Jeff's head. As the rats eat into my cheese! Do they go to prison? Jail bait? Nolan watches TV with the MICE group. Having two authors is okay, as long as only one is sober. Zong explode with delight. Zog is sick. It's random call back day. Mrs Smith, is your son still gay? Little goat shrine. Licked glib shrike? Prince, or the symbol thereof, is touched by the accordion. Bill - beat the shrike. I shit on catholic hills. In Oakland I prey. Streaming again - the soundtrack of the tape drive from hell. Shatnert! With his hair. Bad bad bad bad. Who could stroke off on the erps? They're SQUARE!!!!

I live in a cubical quad. Fullstop. No more charging. Ranking fullstop. Start to play their you know song. It starts with a german accordion monster. Intestinal gas. L'Trimm Industries. Blow the goad nugget. That's ghoad nugget to you sir. Instrumental to Rampage Man's success is his instrument. Very red. Volare! Will says we'll all say something.

This is THE SLOSH - a high school project gone putrid. Please note that the same Constitutional Bill of Rights that gives us the right to publish this also requires us to tell you the following: you may find this publication personally offensive; this publication may contain adult material and offensive language; it may also contain obscure references to orange scirrocos. You must be 18 years old to read this (unfortunately you would understand it better if you were too young to read). Started as the brainchild of AF Shephard (dremu-at-slosh-dot-com) and Steve Dick (faust-at-rmi-dot-net), THE SLOSH was eight years old; this is still the premiere issue. (It is continually being updated. All revisions are "tagged on" to the issue, although not necessarily tagged at the END of the publication.) There are several other contributing writers, supervised by the Honorable Dr Emu, Chief Executive Censor. Any article submissions which are not lost, become property of Dr Emu, or at least his floor. Whence they eventually get sent to the home of the Great Green Arklesnoozie which isn't what you thought I was gonna say.

Thanks to Dr Emu, the Quam was then running Concurrent Dos (and Donts) on his C-Pro. There must be a better name for Communications Central. The Quam is open for suggestions. Now, I think I will entertain you with some rather morbid (pathetic / empathetic) former essays written in Mr. Kennedy's 5th Period (or was it 6th?) class: xxx (that's all folx)

ABSTRACT

(In fact, very extremely abstract!) [AS IN SUMMARY!]

In the beginning there was a little nonsense, and it grew. Seventeen women are mentioned by name and inference to their physical characteristics. Fornication is mentioned, and so are squids. Weirdness is a pseudoreligious Jihad of insanity and inanity. Foreign languages and times long gone (HIGH SCHOOL!!!) are viewed in a lazily nearly drug-laden perspective. (But we're clean! It's the rest of the world that's intoxicated!) And so forth. Many quotes, much gibberish. Foul language and fowl (word)play. Yet it forms a path of meaning when viewed in the long term, and in the Big Picture. (Wait, who let A. Whitney Brown in? Geeshdarn SNL is everywhere these days! - Emu)

Which is really electronique cyberbunk. But is required reading for those desiring to join the nonexistant organization centered around The Slosh. Those interested by reading this object could get a brain transplant 'cuz they obvisouly need one; or you could find Dr Emu/AFS or Ymos TU/SVD and talk about issues recurring in our lives today. It probably wouldn't make it into The Slosh but it would pass the time.

So enough of my yammerin'... Ladies and Gentlebeings, wihtout all that much further ado I present you:

THE SLOSH Vg.abc (Rev date is backwards does anybody remember last night? Me & my sunburn are confused!)

Fuck, another 8" disk. Use em as dildoes before I use em as data holders. Should I use pencil this time? Yes dad.

Death by cheese

THE FOLLOWING (and the preceding and everything else in fact in this document) were filmed in OrangeVision, as used in hospitals and certain Adam Ant videos: Don't you ever stop being dandy, showing me you're handsome. Don't you ever lower yourself, forgetting all your standards. Whatever mon. And now, the rest of the shit:

Many and in fact most of these words are by the Emu formerly known as AF Shephard, the whatever currently known Steve Dick, and a great many test questions were developed by a team of quams headed by Jeffrey J Feil, Esq. Others are not (either words, quams, or by any of the above.) Basically Emu types them, or at least imports them from the quantifiably obtuse emails he receives, but then that is what I do. Really then it's sorta my project with a fair lot by Ymos TU (who is Steve generally) (thanks dude - much appreciated!) and Jeff who is busy quamming right now, and as he's tied to the chair and screaming for a beerbottle to pee in, let him be. Other short bits are by other short people, although they're odd too - both the people and the things they said. Especialy Miss W.E. of NHL who were being (not heboing but whoboingbing Cherry) vaguely important at the time (I was stupid enough to think the LOML but then ... ) causes great weirdness on my part. She dumped me. :) We is past tense, past relaxed, we're past. Gone, no more, nada. I have Tiz now so all is well and good. The Slosh is good, the Slosh is all, the Slosh is like unto the Quam. September gurls [sic]... you get the idea. I just thought I'd say that. She has done many things for me and many things to me and I have enjoyed most of them. Whaevah. Shit, I think. As opposed to shit I think or shit I, think. And much is contributed but that's all we say meccanik dancing oh we go Too. And he drove a pickle. The Pickle, specifically, not just any pickle but The Pickle. Why it is a Pickle when it is blue and not green and not a discomobile I donno. But tis. Not Susanna Hoffs. And it isn't a Pickle anymore but a Pontiac. Eggsightmen? Quam is very test-prone, not testily- prone, and so we have many exams, and queries, and test. Bresticles however there are none of. None to speak of anyway, as opposed to none to not speak of. Hmm. Jeff wrote a bunch of stuff anyway. The difficulty with The Slosh is that things mentioned in it change too quickly, or at least more often than it is revised, or at least revised well. Nemmind. Such as it is, poor grammar, apologies to JKDominik et al. You shoulda seen the technolitany about the hard drives the CPro used... talk about subject-verb disagreement... even Grodo (see below or above or someplace else) doesn't disagree that much, except with concrete.

Antirevisionistic policies mean we/I change very little of what we know/is known as Slosh though it may need change or editing; solely on the premise of being hardheaded, argumentative and Slosh-prone. Yes, we're lazy; but we're also interested in preserving the thoughts (if not the deeds and the waste byproducts) of yesterday that we might recollect them (or at least collect them once) accurately and in their entirety -- and not later change them in our minds or forget them wholly. Unless it involves the computer The Slosh lives on, since it's too damn often the machine changes more often than the document.

The computer is the ultimate medium. Unforgetting, unforgiving. And boy! when you fuck up a word the spellchecker lets you no! (Obviously I don't use my spellczecher and haven't invested in a grandma-checker!) Instantly eraseable words, sentences, paragraphs, pages, entire documents. Shit, I didn't like that. RM *, ya know what I mean? Instantly editable, I meant changeable... what blond put the white-out on my monitor? The true artist is the console cowboy, the VR cyberpunk, who knows -- to the limit -- what he AND his machine, can do. And pushes himself and his machine to that brink, holding both by sheer force of will on that razor's edge of precision and power and performance...

I am going to kill the Shannen Doherty look-a-like in my art class. I should be a bit more global and kill all the bitch-celebrity look-a-likes in all art classes but that'd be too tiresome.

Settle for shouting a Jeep. Jouting a sheep?

Trash Dicksplash, the most heavily armed sex turnip this side of the Andes, sneezed. Which was tricky, because it meant that the IRS man would know where he was--time to move on to another toadstool. Even with that much weaponry, getting into a firefight with an IRS agent was always a bad idea. Somebody would end up hamburger--safe bet it ain't gonna be the taxman. (George Harrison, anyone?)

Mind you, between his electrosymbiotic plasmatic 'Wendy Olean Williams' electrical-tape-and-shaving-cream-on-the-nipples body armor and the Blake- Stone-Number-Five-Grenade-And-Pizza-Flamethrower-Launcher, moving wasn't such an easy proposition. He had, however, luck on his side: the taxmonger had to push all that paperwork to move at all--though move he did, for the wheels of civil service turn, even if but slowly.

eureka.

Steve says I am not so much an author (or editor as I prefer) as a zookeeper. I'll have to keep that in mind. This document at times lived on a CompuPro. It was a toaster in comparison to the PC, but it was S-100 and ultimately weird. It ran Concurrent DOS 5.2 which isn't MS-DOS but isn't CP/M and is sort of both but neither. MP/M which is multiuser (as are C-Pros inherently Jeff) and CP/M-16 and MP/M-16 'cuz it had a 16-bit CPU (sometimes an 8086, sometimes an 8088, sometimes a 80286 or whatever) not a blasted 8085... though I did have (but didn't use) 8MHz Z80's with 64K slave RAM and console I/O onboard --or-- 80186's with 512K slave RAM and two console I/O ports. Whew. More technolitany: The hard drive(s) changed regularly, but were always MFM, and almost always big and ugly.. ranging from 5MB to 80MB. The reason it/they changed so often is that I sell them, or got tired of it/them, or it/they exploded. Ah, there's the agreement Miss D. (Mizz D --as in Ms D-- ? Misty? Oh get off it mon.) And then they come back to me and all is weird again. Seagates, Miniscribes, Micropoli. Micropolis's? And what of one Quantum, two Quantums? Quanta? Quanti? Quinta? Aaargh.

On the premise that I've bitched about machinery too much I won't mention the seven or eight PC's I've used since I've had the CompuPro... nor the Commodore 128D that came and went and came again... messy, that Commodore... I once said that they (the-objects-which-are-not-CompuPro's) are NOT and will NEVER be homes for the Slosh. I love WS3.3 dearly and I MUST have a use for the CompuPro. I Lied.

I LIED!

The Slosh is available... no small remuneration is required. Bring Emu some IBC the next time you're 'round these parts, and check out the very self-same web page you're reading now...

Of course (I always say that, don't I?), the turnip is in a misguided groove, which groove must be recut to be straight in order for the turnip to travel properly. This is a side effect of the timing constraints of trying to count 50-70uS in compiled C... mixed in with the fact that my C compiler is crappy. Mix notably. That and my receiver is shitty and the signals are weak. You try picking up low power near-microwave signals at any kind of distance. So why Manchester NRZ? Why not? It's got built-in clocking, it's tough for non-nerds to decode... I suspect the whole thing is a ploy (or a plot) by James Earl Jones and the NSA to convert hackers-phreakers-nerds to tie-wearing officious paper-pushers. Just a theory mind you... at least I'm not Robert Redford. Bish? Pish-wah. That would be bad. Life could be extremely weird. MLA my left asshole. Sleep = true, Gyermek = air conditioning.

I have seen them. I have seen them. I have seen them. (Three times.) And they still have fake blond hair... redheads who give up their identifying characteristic are giving up their creator's gift to them... and have given up any respect others with that gift would have for them.

Redheads. American Indian Scottish ones.

So I prayed to the gods that, now that Wen is gone, that someone would provide me with a replacement. Reasonable? No, of course not. This is me we're talking about.

Short, maybe 5' to 5'-6", shoulder length plus red hair, around my age, vaguely technically inclined, prone to laughing at my jokes, solidly built (Wen's mass or higher) and vaguely Bejoran.

I did not request this in any seriousness. Hmm. Collateral damage. The gods are out to get me. Current requirements are therefore 5'-8" or higher, redheaded but short - no more than shoulder length, still laughs at my jokes but doesn't know a computer from an electric fish tank, and vaguely Australian. Goobah.

GOOBAH. Goobah, man, perfect perhaps except for the strings attached. The lacerations along one's back... ah the joyful memories. And joyful mammaries. What lacerations.... they were.

    News from the front:

    First Place goes to Adolf Snickerdoodle, who single-handedly fought democracy and lost to a pair of clever pigeons from Galt. Pigeons have been known to migrate as far south as Ripon, but the Galt area is more attractive due to cheap nesting. The National Association of Migratory Fowl (NACGW) has pressured Congress to move the equator up to roughly 40 degrees N, through the center of the Galt town square, as pigeons seldom migrate south of that line. With the pigeons winning the Equatorial Bird Pagent every year since its conception, officials argue that it only makes sense to move the Equator. Governor Wilson has already moved the California border north to Fresno, stating "If that don't stop illegal immigration, you can call me a liar."

    And the noodle did spigot a disdainful teardrop as the cyrillian cheese curd enveloped the horseradish sauce. Saith the emporer to the mightly curd, "Doth thou requireth the spigot? Dost thou not wear thy garment of the cheesecloth?" And the emporer did squeeze, and the feces did punt. Removal of the feces was performed by a noodle in disguise as a pair of butt- pliers.

    And he didst plunge thy purple butt-pliers into thy anal crevace, pulling out thy infirmity and cleansing thy stained pants. To remove fecal wormwood is to release the violence which has inherited the system.

    Bogus Question

    ESSAY [12 points]

    An acrobat walks into a dentist shop to buy some flowers for his balloon. Thinking he asked for flowers for his "baboon", the hungry police officer behind the counter asked the man, "What flavor nosecheese would you like with that?" The man replied, "I don't want any bajingas. I am not Seņor Molina! I am a number! Twelve! Twelve! Twelve!"

    Q. How many times does the acrobat have to shout "Twelve" before the Burger shoons through the trees?

    (hint: 4+6=12)

    1+1 4 schoolz. 2+2 4 fops. 4+4 4 fornication.

    "Here, you need this," he says as he hands me a copy of T.A.G.C. Meontological Research Recordings. "It is a moral imperative, and," he continues, "it's really neat." I haven't quite figured out if T.A.G.C. is designed to annoy me or really screw me up. Forty Hertz, ten kiloHertz, "LSD"s, "CIA"s, what gives? So I take the compact disc and purchase it. Two weeks later, I finally read the manual that accompanies it. Okay.

    The BROWN zone is for loading and unloading only. There is no parking in the EROGENOUS zone. (All this and bowling a 64, too!) So I (quam) seem to have created a new tax shelter in the form of a Government agency:

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ---

    DEPARTMENT OF INDUCED PARANOIA

    This is an interesting Government Agency, created for the sole purpose of convincing people they are being watched. Files are created on everyone about everything. Specific portions of these files have been blotted out with large black markers for no apparent reason at all. Portions indicating which hand is used for lifting the fork, how many pairs of socks are in the top drawer, etc... may be striked out with a large pen. Because of the Privacy Awareness Act (huh?), the Government must reveal all documents pertinent to an individual.

    The D.I.P. allegedly has millions of agents assigned to watching everybody. In fact, your next door neighbor may be in charge of everyone on your street block. How do you know that we all don't work for the D.I.P.?

    Now the part about the tax shelter: The IRS accepts it, because they are convinced the D.I.P. is watching them, too. When querying for information, all they receive are tax forms with large black strike marks. They don't question it. They can't question it. The D.I.P. does not recruit, so don't even think of trying to join. The D.I.P. selects individuals much in the same way as the CIA: kidnap first, then serve the draft papers. All individuals "selected" by the D.I.P. are assimilated (sorry, Borg). Hmmm. I seem to have stepped on my meter... and a Western-Digital VGA card (37).

    Peeping, snooping, nosing 'round
    Someone's always watching me.
    Using everything they've found
    Welcome to the D.I.P.

    Information, database
    Everyone's inside.
    Shredded papers, cuffed briefcase
    The Government's on your side.

    Paranoia is induced
    To almost everyone.
    Hope your lifespan's not reduced
    Hide your only son.

    What's Jeff smoking
    He really did it this time.
    Is he only joking
    Or is there truth to this rhyme?

    Hmmm. I think the reader is tired of the term Lech Walesa. I am proposing a change to the name: Zontar --- No No No. ...to the name: Les Aspin. He's another government guy, and doesn't offend Independence, Missouri. Neither do black crows or radishes (radishi. radii.) The orange septic tank (not to be confused with Michael the happy Sperm Whale) decided to move to Connecticut, but not before eating the rice. Les Aspin. It has a ring to it. Almost as ringy as Carl Sagan, but there's only Millions and Millions of Les Aspin (versus Billions and Billions - C.S.). Oh heck, they're all donuts. Enough dough talk.

    So the key responsibility ("prerequisite" to you Delta people) to writing for the Slosh is that you must be in a really really weird state of mind. The State of Mind is just north of... the State of the Mined - Michigan. Proposed name: State of North Michigan --- No No No. That's more of a State of Bad Football Teams. Grab the reigns, Doris, we're going in. Simple addition: Terri Nun, and carry the one. So what does one do with a 51.415 MHz crystal? There are too many floppy disks in this world; we must develop a smaller hard-drive.

    Well, Emu must be really impressed, as the Slosh grows to well over 100 pages. I am convinced that the more one contributes, the larger it gets (and the grodo price gets cheaper for a printed version). In fact, if one can complain as I do, the only gripe I would have is that each new portion is inserted into appropriate parts of the MIDDLE of the Slosh. This way each revision must include the WHOLE document. Keep in mind, that the Slosh is near-approaching double-floppy proportions.

    JOURNAL OF AN INFESTED HERMIT

    DAY 1: Moved into first cave. Lots of room. Empty room, less the spiders. I hope no-one finds me here. Must be careful about smoky fires during the day. The itching is beginning.

    DAY 5: Ran out of Hydrocortisone cream. Scratching. Must not think about it. Hung a new grass tapestry near the cave door. Changed the leaves in the bed.

    DAY 10: More than one week ago, I shunned society and instead founded my own culture. Starting to have second thoughts, but must not think that way. The bugs seem to be getting larger and more profuse - Darn that itching!

    DAY 14: Finally two weeks. They say that if you can stay for two weeks, you can stay a lifetime. But I'm so bored that I bite my nails down to their roots. It's harder to scratch.

    DAY 26: The itching has turned to burning, and specific zones are red as radishi. Mixing water with wild goat milk to form a synthetic HydroQuartOfMilk (generic Hydrocortizone).

    DAY 44: Tweezers would sure come in handy. Blaming everything on the goat. The rabbit died this morning.

    DAY 48: Tried to use this journal for advertising, but can't find enough Lumberjacks to make it profitable. Favorite tree was cut down by Brian the Lumberjack by mistake. (The tree was cut down by mistake, not he was a Lumberjack by mistake.) The bugs are receding along with my hair for the winter.

    DAY 55: Even the journal is becoming too boring. I feel sorry for the future readers of this non-inspirational literary work. Must either run out of paper or die soon.

    DAY 58: Losst mi dekshunary. Penn iz out uf in-

    DAY 59: Found the dictionary - the goat took it. (See DAY 44)

    DAY 60: Evicted from the cave. Moving back to Denver. The bugs can't wait.

    The following sentence has been typewritten in a special secret font approved for use by the Department of Induced Paranoia:

    and six British game hen. In fact, they tend to harmlessly play badminton until at least the fourth episode. Reruns, reruns, reruns.

    The point being that I say I'm always wrong, but she says that's right? Oxymoron anybody? (Digger wrote that, not Quam) Likewise, if I say I always lie, that may be a lie in itself? (Get a modem, I'll find it).

    Turnips on parade

    Yes, it's true! The 19th Annual Turnip Parade will be held this Sunday, at noon sharp. Thousands of turnips from around the globe are expected to participate in the 3-hour display of vegetables. According to Pilgrim P. Noodlebert, Parade supervisor, this weekend's exhibition is "very turnippy indeed". But it's not all fun and smiles with this Sunday's event. Also entering the Parade will be a platoon of Veteran Turnips, injured during the War. It will be a celebration of joy, but also a moment of rememberence, as turnip lovers everywhere give thanks to the Turnips of America.

    So, here we are. It is now later (with not quite so much rat in it). Emu has moved to Mom's, and evidently, my brother seems to be moving! I must apologize ('apologise' for you British types) for not contacting anybody within the last few days, but I seem to have contracted a rare South American disease called Laryngitis. Since I can't talk, I can't answer the phone. Well, I could, but the caller would only hear "whoor whoor whumm braaaach!" Not too exciting. I seem to have just enough voice to keep my D.J. life alive. I have missed 4 days of school, and I'm falling behind in Calculus. Calaculusitis -- inflamation of the Calaculus. It seems that I write these little tidbits at night. This is all too much like a Doogie Howser episode.

    So where is Locke 407, anyway? The Delta Registration Booklet Thingee lists Locke 406 as being the office of Jane (K.) Dominik. So Emu says that I (Quam) should just show up and knock and say "I am the Quam" or "So how's the Slosh" or "turnip" or something. Since I do not know this individual at all, I would rather presume to introduce myself in a more Quamtypical manner: show up wearing a black suit, mirrored sunglasses, an earphone in the left ear; holding an aluminum briefcase handcuffed to my left hand; knocking; entering the office; plopping the briefcase on the desk; saying nothing as I open the briefcase; handing JKD an unlabled floppy-disk from the briefcase; jibbering some code word; and disappearing thereafter. Yeah, yeah, more Cloak and Dagger junk. And I don't even know if she's that cute!

    So I've figured out how to deal with Lawsen Lew: when he approaches you and begs to interrupt you with some asinine trivial comment, just keep him busy. Stop him mid-sentence, and say "Lawsen, I need a 37.5 ohm resistor. Go get me one from the back room, okay? I need one for my hovercraft, which I will show you as soon as you return." This will keep him involved for about 10 minutes, whence he will return with a potentiometer adjusted for 37.5 ohms. Then you must tell him "No, Lawsen, I need an accurate 37.5 ohm resistor. They're back there. They have 6 color-coded stripes on them with 1% tolerance."

    So now I've been trying to think of some new type of mini-sequel-serial- novel to write. The Adventures of Lash Hotflash seemed too repetitive (not to mention that it was tending to sound a lot like SPOOR HEROES). So it's time to start anew again. I'm thinking... Missing Persons just isn't releasing my creativity. Maybe I should try TAGC...

    MALCOMB THE PARAPALYGIC INVALID - rejected because there weren't very many plots which could be created from inside a bedroom.

    THE WORLD OF CEMETARY MANAGEMENT ACCORDING TO DENNIS SCHLESINGER - title too long.

    BIZARE ACCOUNTS OF DISAPPEARING DENTISTS - nobody cares about the outcomes.

    THE ADVENTURES OF IDENTICAL-TWIN MAN - too hard to find stunt triplets.

    TINY TIM IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY - Dicken's Tiny Tim returns to life in 1995. His polio has been cured, and he begins to lead a normal life at age 7. Tim is then just called "Tim" and is rendered useless by the modern literary world. He is then killed and buried again.

    THE WITCHDOCTOR FILES

    Okay, we have a title now. Now to develop the overview. Here's a witchdoctor, taken fresh out of the Sudan, thrust into modern day Topeka, Kansas. He isn't accepted very well by the residents, but cures the mayor's daughter of a beguiling athlete's foot fungus. He is given an honorary M.D. Practice and solves crimes. Michael Dorn guest stars as Makali, the tribal chief. Musical guest star Lynard Skynard performs in Sudan to convince Dorn to release the magical princess from captivity. Towards the end of the plot, Dorn is killed off, as is Ricardo Montauban and Hollywood Squares host, John Davidson. Bill Shatner's hair does a Cameo and saves the witchdoctor from being killed. The witchdoctor now solves crimes in the Sudanese jungle.

    THE PINBALL CRUSADERS OF LUNAC VII

    Well, it's a title, anyway.

    And what you give is what you get... that will be a start. WYGIWYG (wiggy- wig) saying something about Majel Barrett. Or the Jam... Paul Weller was it or was that my English teacher no that was Gary Weller-san who say Work Steadily And EARN Your A... having earned my B I guess I worked with some hesitation or at least some lack of regularity perhaps I need educational ex-lax. Castor oil, Sam's Choice, etc.

    I'd been Witnessed before, but only by psychos on my doorstep. Perry Mason never calls me on the phone. And now Raymond Burr is dead... only ever lost one case, proposed to his secretary five times... not a bad deal. We'll miss you both, Raymond and Perry.

    However, with a five dollar bill clinging loosely to my genitals there was nothing for it but a complete slappendectomy, wherein all aspects of slapstick coomedy are exised from the body and replaced with small bits of Leonardini da Vinco's left arm. A little-known female cousin of Leonardo da Vinci, the other LDV was in fact a victim of the even lesser-known disease called triplo-schitzo-dye-your-red-hair-blonde-emia, as discussed somewhere else in this document.

    The crotch-pack now comes in a number of flavors... as can bolt on the head, like the venerable RatSnack headlight, different from the headlice that so many of its constituents seem to have. Or as can attach to your feet and flail as you do... spazz and jazz, just for the hell of it.

    I know, we'll put horns on our helmets, and call ourselves Vikings. And we'll get a skinny boat, and put points on both ends, that'll work REALLY well, yeah! (Thank Mike... but a REAL man would just piss on it and keep going.)

    I mean how many of you ever dated an apple... without the cucumber it just never seems to work. Sexually, as a man, what are you most afraid of? CUCUMBER MAN is a REAL MAN's worst nightmare. Shta.

    So what's the point of fleeping the green trash, whacking the toad fish, flushing the hightech battery storage unit, keying the keyed keyboard; when the machine recognitive cycle is out to dry who is to say when the termination will be; for the end of the interpreter as we know it nigh; predictibility is relative for kimonosecs, the study of Nipponese dress modes. Tough harsh highly competetive world where today's Fromkin is tomorrow's pumpkin, which is different from pup-kin, the brother of a baby dog, or sister we must not be politically, racially or otherwise incorrect. I'm sure you've had them before. You decide. Points are the end-all to human existence... what's a card?

    And what's a blonde and why do they want to put the (e.g.) water (fill-in: turnip, question, hairspray) there? (Fill in: Those goddam Romans, you Mr Zeller, AOL Customer Services, Mr Enos, OBE.)

    Vex your own felt needs I have my velvet Elvis... cut-rate word definitions: research=to look again (re-search).

    However more important I think are the paper penguins, pernicious in their pornogrpahy, prying with their peddling popsticks, perambulatory processed pygmalion. Or the quadratic quintessential quasimodo quackeroos. Or the rabid rambunctious rutabagas. Or whatever weird whacky weedeater way-out wascally wabbit images come to mind.

    Careful where you put that thing, Seņor Molino: I have no bazingas.

    I cannot remember who I am, I cannot remember where I am. I cannot remember when it is, I cannot remember where I was, when I remembered.

    But nevertheless I know

    (Good, Garth, that was a haiku.)

    The rutabaga has slid, the angle has collapsed, the whole world has gone obtuse, leaving (not Lee Ving) me in a swirl of uncertainty, unerring unknownness, all due to one thing and the search for it, and the love of it, and anything else besides.

    ODE TO SCHOOL

    So here I sit
    Taking my daily shit
    For an hour a day
    With no bloody pay
    From the teacher I take
    Notes of on what he spake
    And try to remember best
    All this shit, on the day of the test

    It's a cold day in hell that Laughlin doesn't laugh, Gyermek doesn't say Vell Good Mornink Ladiez ant Jentlement, and Buckley doesn't complain about something.

    God I want her, I can feel it stirring in my shorts. Either that, or somebody forgot to put the chinchilla back last night. Oh shit!

    Search for the bomb shelter. I suspect not, my good man. Those lights are off for a reason, with good intent and of sound body and mind, I undertake this most awesome of undertakings, as undertaker for the undertakee, I truly. Brigadier General Left Nut Presiding OBE, Miss.

    I'm sorry, I have a col. That is not an emotionally happy vehicle. Give up man, it's parked forever. In a continual state of being on track 00, kinda like sector 0-0-1 or more like 7-Zark-7 or 867-5309 Jenny. Having never called her I only suppose that's her number. Emu!

    ODE TO WOMAN / ODE TO JOY

    For a day without stress
    Over the shape and content of her dress
    I would give all I've had
    'Twould be good and not bad
    For the shape that I'm in
    She has only a grin
    And the cause of it all
    Is my need for a ball
    Or perhaps just a lifelong, platonic friendship.
    Cough/bullshit! bullshit!

    Wanted, one new or slightly used bomb shelter. As used in hospitals. Will pay top dollar for one with woman-denigratory posters, built-in prawn-O- vidz, or other method of avoiding contact with the female persuasion for long periods of time.

    I'll show you muffler

    Or was that sex the wax tadpole or have I seen too many bumper stickers. Great advice, bud. Next time watch out for the tadpole.

    What is the red spot outside your car door? Strawberries? No, I've been pouring my heart out.

    Why think when you can coagulate? Why AT&T when you just puke?

    These and other deep intellectual queries answered next week on

    DORKS R US (1-900-NERD-SEX). Blargh.

    The common yak, or ant-shooter, often sits at the top of trees, having flown there on its giant wings. It does this because its favorite food, lawyers, are often to be found in the middle of trees, arguing about anything at all; and there the common yak or ant-shooter may eat to its heart's content.

    Almost like monkeys in a barrel, only lawyers in a barrel. And there's no barrel.

    The common fish, or bull-shooter, often sits at the bottom of the trees, having fallen there off the common yak. (Ant-shooters generally carry with them a bevy of of bull-shooters on their backs.) The fish does this because its favorite food, pieces of lawyers that fall out of the mouths of yaks, can be found there; and the common fish or bull-shooter may shoot to its heart's content.

    Is that a PowerBook? No, it's a powerjoke. A lack of power actually, ininclusive of the battery. I wish I could say something funny. And something other than "Campbell, you make me LAUGH!" Actually, I've said a number of things other than that and it doesn't seem to have done me any good. Women! Aargh - pass the beer nuts.

    No more married ones, ones about to be married, Anna Nicole Smith lookalikes, whatever. (Women, not beer nuts. Married beer nuts are fine.)

    Frap trimmer. Electrical frap trimmer. Debased electrical frap trimmer.

    It's a new month and a new mentality for us all here at The Slosh, though of course you probably won't notice because it probably isn't a new month for you. Enough, therefore, with the propensities and dispensities with the formalities. To business! (...I thought that was a toast...)

    ** In fact it's a new year and a new place, a new face and a dirty trace. Somebody clean that scope screen! Who pushed the trigger control? Neeeeigh. Tankubuckleeesan. Different from (<>) tancu. Ucnat, ucnat, blugley. MIDI shmidi, titty fritty, oh crap I give up.

    This early in the morning the Jamaican cicadas were not whistling their "tweedle mon let's smoke this morning mon" song; even the Persian crickets were quiet: nary a "Do you require a spoonstraw with your Slurpie?" to be heard. (START AGAIN) They better photocopy something. You notice they aren't worried when they can't take credit cards, but when the photocopier goes down the indians go crazy. Must find a supervisor!

    INFORMATIONAL UPDATE

    Information is no longer what it used to be. This information booth is out of order, and belongs two up in the queue instead. Perhaps the Persian cricket, not to be confused with the Jerusalem cricket which actually exists, is at fault here. (START AGAIN)

    TUESDAY

    ...There's no choice / I can't hear your helpless voice...
    ...Pack up and drive away away / Pack up and drive away...

    Which all adds up to what, an art student? I think not, greenboxing or otherwise, that frogs must stay where they are, and the slimy things underneath there too, as opposed (or oop-spooed) to thereto. 47% of all people make up slightly less than half the population. Da diddly froop froop. The use of slides increases with the use of slides.

    Statistically speaking, the percentage of people doing any given thing at any given time varies with the number of people actually engaged in the act, thinking about doing it but putting it off until next week, or saying how dreadful it is while wishing they were doing it, but can't because it's so messy. Unless that activity is statistics itself; in which case nothing about it can be predicted statistically, as this particular variety of numbers game is not recursive.

    But could be incursive or at least in cursive. Except of course for the fact that it is printed on an HPLJ+. I hear the Egyptians have a SphynxJet now... (You're in the land of the little people now) Dink dink dink dink dink dinkjet... Manhanttan Island was bought from the local American Savings office for some blankets and a handful of trinkjets. Every man needs something to believe in - I believe I'll have another drinkjet. (START AGAIN: That joke stands a whelkjet's chance in a supernova.)

    Pagers are like paragraphers (only larger) which are like sentencers (only larger) which are like worders (only larger) which are like letterers (only larger) which aren't like any other kind of shit at all. This Shit = The Slosh. Slosh-at-large (and fuck howdy is it EVER large as of late) editor and shouter Dr Emu says, "Buy Me Grodo."

    Do not touch the felt crotch... felt though it may have been, it wasn't, formal wedding gear and all. Which is like a landing gear or an entrance belt, or an exit exam. Leave In Silence thank you David Gahan does that sound right any DM people out there?) Yep this thing is cathartic for me, gets it all off my tit so I don't go out and kill anybody.

    At the end of an otherwise blank page lies the inscription: "Because there's nothing left to say." Is there now.

    Left what. Off came the lid... pack up and drive away away, pack up and RUN AWAY. From what to what because of what for why mon. Dammit it's those Rastafarian cicadas again, different from their PWEI cousions the Rasta Cicciolinas, etc. Wax the vexed CD player.

    And who will have won / when the soldiers have gone...

    Which of course is all meaningless... camcorder bastards are tweedling.

    EOT = End Of Topic. I am afraid that I will end up (no!) EDITING (aargh!) this most sloshostrious of documents (I'm sorry!) because of the extraordinarily high content of personal bitching contained herein. Especially in this particular subset, SL1093A.EMU, there are many emu- feeling-sorry-for-selfs and emu-complaining-about-his-love-life-or-lack- thereofs, for the most part with little or no provocation.

    PROVOCATION = Vacation in Provo, Utah. Provo-cation. Get it?

    So a new page and a new ideal, but the same girl and a strengthened sense of morals (and yes! I do have some thank you Mr. Sicko) Fuck! I thought I was done. Perhaps I am yet not.

    The only question being then when do we get a damn cursor? Curser, cursee, cursive, curative, cure-all, quiramos.

    And then we have the CDROM's. DoubleSpeed, DoubleSpace, SpeedSpace and DoubleDouble. 686 million bytes of pornos. Pretty amazing actually, that much sleaze in such a small package so cheap. Then of course there is the question of Asian Girls Volume Twelve... but nemmind. DoubleGirls, twelve tits, instructive videos free with every purchase, punt the bruised water buffaloid.

    Some tips on how to give away your sarong (and Why The Slosh)

    TS is generally my saying that this is not my sarong. Whose sarong it is is uncertain but it is not mine. "Hey, home-parking-permit, do you want this sarong?" "Yo, fuck off, mother." Such are the joys of life here at Delta.

    So I go to the Laserdisc place and they're closed. Not just closed, but gone. The empty windows, the guards at the door with guns, and the fifty- yard barrier with barbed wire, dogs androving IRS-ATF agents leads me to believe that there's not much in the way of business going on here.

    Reviews of The Slosh:

    "What a crock of shit"

    - Man on street

    "Well I think sex on TV is overrated - I mean you keep falling off!"
    - Pepperpot on street, rigged

    "I feel a good sit & read coming on - have you anything to read?"
    - Man on street BEFORE his daily sit & read

    "Best book I read this morning whilst on the toilet"
    - Man on street AFTER his daily sit & read

    "Only book I read this morning whilst on the toilet"
    - Same man on street etc etc

    "What the fuck does this mean?"
    - Another man on street, irate

    "Que simboliza?"
    - Third man on street, this one with sombrero

    "Fuck off and get this shit outta my face!"
    - The authors of The Slosh

    Recently there has been a rash of complaints about the quality of the additions to this document, The Slosh. In retrospect, however, since the complainees were either those denigrated herein, or were merely disgruntled ex-customers of the local RatSnack, their opinions can largely be discounted (as can many RatSnack products!) Nevertheless, we here at TS Central feel compelled to respond.

    So anyway, we are on our way to the great electronix place in the sky, Mike Quinn E, and the radar buffalo reports a sky warning in the storm.

    THE MORNING AFTER

    ...Why is it that tacos get soft, and soft tacos are no longer soft? This means something. Perhaps it is some sort of sign, that tacos, like love, need extra work and care that next morning. Or perhaps it is merely a sign that fast food must be eaten shortly after it is made and not much later.

    Perhaps. One ping only please Vasili.

    Feets too big bras too small. Life is arguable. What's it like flunking a linguistics class, sort of like tossing a coin down a well of veritable lack of despair. Oh! I'll send an SOS to the world... message in a pothole.

    And the tree bone is connected to the FAT bone is connected to the partition table is conected to the media descriptor byte is connected to the... regurge! regurge! Since 'C' functions can be recursive, I am considering developing an interface language wherein functions can be either precursive (calling themselves BEFORE they are defined -- see EXAMPLE 1; or regurgatory (ejecting themselevs from memory -- see EXAMPLE 2.)

    /* Example 1: precursive code */
    #include <everything.h>
    prototype main();
    alpha main();
    beta main();
    release main();
    main()
    {
    int i;
    i = refrag(0xBEEF);
    refrag(i);
    }

    /* Example 2: Regurgatory code */
    #include <nothing.h>
    pornotype main();
    main()
    {
    writeblk( int i; for (i=i; i<i; i>i) i==i=i;, stdin, stdout, stdthru);
    }

    That's all folks.

    As you've probably guessed by now, my contribution (I, the Quam) has been dedicated to the Humpback Whale. The Humpback Whale has large webbed feet which it uses to climb tropical species of the eucalyptus tree. With it's large powerful beak, it can maul the largest rodent and swallow it whole. The Humpback Whale dines on various species of insects as well as rodents. During the eighteenth century, grain farmers would release a few Whales into their fields, as they devoured hoards of locusts. Provided they have been "paper trained" at an early age, Humpback Whales make excellent pets; they bond well with children.

    Well, summer vacation is upon us, and I am not sure if I should start a new mini-novel. I could just jibber continuously, but that wouldn't be very nice, now, would it? These last two lines, so far, have not needed justification (however, the last one did). What does this mean? Who cares? Rudy was a vegetarian. He wasn't born that way; he just seemed to hate meat. One day... (start again!)

    Pets. Everyone loves 'em: dogs, cats.

    goldfish, prunes, pigeons. But unfortunately, these "best friends" are too often ignored. Man (not man as in sexist male, but mankind in general) has responsibilities, and sometimes forgets that these cuddly cute objects of companionship need attention. He (sexist statement) leaves for work, returning a half-day later. What are these animals to do? Little does the man (nobody in particular) know that these small cuddly Richard-Gere-like bundles of fur are plotting against him. It was somewhere south of Pleasanton that one particular group of neighborhood neglectees decided to do something about it.

    "All right! Settle down!" The hedgehog seemed to be facilitating what appeared to be a bad CBS Sunday Night Movie of "Animal Farm". "I know you're probably wondering why I called you all here." A tremelo of voices soon settled down to a low murmer. "We are all pets of the neighborhood, and some of us have proposed that we need to do something."

    "About what?" The question came from a pigeon on the sill of the backyard window.

    Of course, without his woman no megahero would be complete. And though Dicksplash was certainly not a megahero (girls always told him size didn't matter, and then snickered - go figure!) -- he, too, was incomplete without his Olivia Wendell Neuter-Jodhpurs. Shortly after the priest ralfed a turnip, after trying to read her name without laughing some seventy-nine times, she died at the altar; perhaps then you will understand why I hesitate to mention her again -- and why Dicksplash couldn't stand soggy tacos (then again, perhaps not. It makes no difference.)

    This week Dicksplash -- Fred to his friends -- was rebuilding his warp drive (not the wrap drive which he rebuilt last week.) He was tired of toting a net behind his spacescooter to catch "the parts falling off this spacecraft are of the finest Braunschweiger manufacture" bumperstickers as they melted off his engines' cooling ducts. And he was happy, sitting there on his floor inamongst a pile of flanton injector pieces scattered around his feet as he swore unspeakable swearings about the treegzbuster (Mark II!) he had on the bench in front of him.

    I will take almost anything and put it into the Slosh. I am, after all, editor. Little else will be said and much was removed.

    Not to seem too fuckin commercial about it all... but people ask questions that that lot should or at least might answer. Besides, something free is worth what you pay for it... something that costs money or monet or grodo (yitch!) must be good. Rampant American consumerism at its best. And The Story costs more (though it is bound copies they are selling... perhaps we should bind the Slosh -- or at least bond it. Bandaid? Bond-age 007? Never mind.) Bind. Consume. Integrate.

    I think that covers the zoo-keeping aspects of The Slosh so anyway. But I said that already. In fact, almost all of The Slosh has been said before but never all in the same place (except older revisions of The Slosh. Sha!)

It may take me several revisions before I remember to add your stuff. I often lose them. But try me - the longer this thing gets the less I have to do with it.

Net result of all of that is that she wears funny clothes and too much makeup (I have this on authority from someone else I won't tell you who haha) but anyway... she has been seen. Hey ho.

    Welcome to the SLORY or is it the STOSH, either way, you're welcome to it cuz No one else will touch it. (Oooo it's so gooey.) Due to minor during an unanticipated editorial phase (Hey Vicemeister! EKLOHNND f'kkuytv 'I' ZWnnAQ! [a personal curse from SHAGGYTHOTH to you]) this and other associated manuscripts have been barred from using the appelation the STORY (TM) and since nothing is barred from using the appelation the SLOSH (WM) this must be marginally something else. Excreteplanations out of the way, AAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH! And so with Han/Harrison having been castrated at least twice, Shaggy sick with indigestion/b (THEY having left the marshmallows off his pizza [TWICE!]!) (YES THEM) and with Ensign Crusher finally having learnt the meaning of wide dispersal, it was left up to the lowly Schmoo to continue the Quest.

    OK All right but one of these days POW! Right in the quester! So the Schmoo was globbing (slithering, blolloping?) along with Schmoette beside him (first ingredient of a good story: SEX! But if you're reading this you probably know that.) Both of them were being careful to avoid any place where the evil KLEENEX (BillyunsIdle_) might be hiding. (A sad fact of life, Schmoos, even female ones, look amazingly like large globs of male ejaculatory fluid _seminalfluids_notseminars_SKLOT_.)

    And thence to self-exposure

    The doctors tell me I'm crazy. Insane. That's why they keep me locked up. But that's only their excuse. I'm really a genius, and I don't mind saying so myself. They see me as a dangerous scientist, but they tell everyone I'm delirious. They even try to make ME think that. But I'm too smart for them. They're scared. Waiting. Waiting for me to make my move and escape. But I won't. Not just yet. I think I'll play with 'em for a while... make 'em squirm.

    I guess it's around eight o'clock, and I'm becoming quite hungry. So I join the other sixty-two crazy people in the sadistic ritual called "breakfast". Breakfast is coming soon. I can tell by Maurice's face. Maurice is that big fat guy over there. He drools a half-gallon of saliva just thinking about food. He senses when food is about to arrive. It's his seventh sense. As usual, I wait for Maurice to "water down". At last, his mouth foams and a clear, bubbly slime oozes from his jaw. The kitchen door opens.

    We are all seated and served. Bernie sits next to me. "Quam," he says. "The Quam has provided! He gives us plastic fish with no tails!" Bernie is one of the most eccentric among us. He turns to me and says, "Where is the Quam? Are YOU the Quam? Are you... PLASTIC?!!" I stare at him, calmly, and decide to humor him.

    "No," I say. "I am not plastic. I am... a PROSTHETIC SPORK!"

    "AAAAAgh!," cries Bernie. "No! No! I need plastic! I must defend the Quam!" Bernie grabs his spoon and repeatedly spoons his head. "Bad fish!," he screams. By this time, two "guards" in white linen escort Bernie out through the green doors. Not satisfied by the puny breakfast rations, I eat the rest of what was left on Bernie's plate. Ahh. - buurp! - I feel much better.

    "Thank you, Quam." - buurp! -

    I might add (fuck that - I will add!) that this is now called THE SLOSH as that is what it is. I am no longer a misogynist I don't demand and amn't pissed at women soft admirable as they are. And it makes noises such as doors do not. As I prepared to regret myself from slumber and flower vans, this was read to me by myself:

    Why do we call it Slosh and not Slush or ShitInGeneral or TroutForBrains or whatever... 'cause the noise that a mostly-empty-but-still-no-leeches Coke makes when you shake it and stick in up into a ceiling fan, thinking that you are the Statue of Liberty; that noise is not Slosh. It's what happens when you jiggle the can hoping more Coke will magically appear 'cause it's the last cold one in the fridge and it's four in the morning and... Lucky IS open! Yes! I am saved! Thank the caffeine gods for twenty-four hour grocery/VCR repair places. Though they may not be 24hr no more. And floorgin sneezinhoopie.

    Why did the Roman Empire collapse? What's the Latin for "office automation"?

    When caught throwing a paperwad in my Calculus class at Tokay, I was told to write a 500-word essay on why it was a stupid thing to do or some such shit. Load of it anyway. So this I wrote to my Calc teacher/pedophile:

    TREE-BASED PROJECTILES IN THE MODERN AGE

    Or, why the Emu is a bad boy.

    Reprehensible you say? Hoo boy, it taxes my limited intellect and vocal subsystems just to say the word. Perhaps it means re-prehensible. Which is like re-prehensile. Which means said tree-based projectile was again prehensile (as in a monkey's tail is prehensile the first time)? Actually the root is prehensile-able which means that said tree-based projectile could be made to be prehensile again. (Thus the RE prefix.) Enough lexicography - my fingers tire of meaningless tirades.

    So - said tree-based projectile is found to be offensive by Mr. D. An opinion which he is in a position to be welcome to possess. And I am in a position to behoove. (Excuse the malapropisms possibly inherent in this most illustrious of documents but I am without reference material and generally senseless when lacking a dictionary.) Now that that has been made sufficiently unclear...

    Gee, okay so I had only four minutes to go and why couldn't I have waited and appeared to have turned over a new leaf and be a nice kiddy. Excuse #1: Even I this most illuminatingly expediter of explications cannot do some things overnight (although Federal Express supposedly can.) Granted three months isn't overnight either so perhaps... Excuse #2: Well I think that I am out of excuses at this point and shall therefore go on to discuss a few major key differences between Buddhism and the effect of gamma rays on man in the moon marigolds.

    Then again perhaps I won't. At this point I have used some 295 words, some of which are different, some of which are the same, some of which are short, and some of which are long (and therefore generally misused.) Let me remind you at this point that I in fact did a close approximation of diddly squat last year in terms of work and thus hardly belong in a calculus class... hold on, shut up AF. Methinks I would prefer calculus to a braindead class so perhaps methinks I would like to stay where I is. Hmm.

    This being the obvious the supposition then to be formed is that I will do my homework (which in itself a first) and generally contain my youthly exuberance and cease and desist from being a little poop-head and generally shut up and calm down. Yes I think that might be a good idea - and I have a strong feeling that that is what Mr. D wants to hear me say or he will kill me on sight having had to put with some nine months of this sort of thing last year. A plight so terrible, the only imaginable fate that could possibly tend towards being similar yet worse would be being stuck with me all the time - a bit over 18 years at last count. [Actually 21 now but that's besides the point. Christ I been "writin" this lot for a long while.]

    And I appear to have come up with a great many words while listening to good punk-metal tunes by Dresden on the front side of my Vandals (which is even better straight punk) tape and wow, I can shut up now.

    Chill out dude, it's only the first day of the first quarter of the first semester of the last year of the rest of both our lives. Yust imagine the possibilities for insanity during the rather large remainder of the year.

    "Sane"? I don't sany "Sane". Just me cuckoos around here. (572 words).

    Sha! I scare myself almost as often as I scare others. Without that in mind, a funny thing happened to me on the way to reality this morning. As I prepared to awaken myself from slumber a Twinkie came to me in my dreams and screamed "Energizer". This caused me to to feel great consternation and constipation as to the fundamental coherence of the universe as we know it. That is why I believe that it isn't. Or doesn't. Or for that matter even exists. Odorg? ouy knaht oN!

    Lash continued to swim towards the shore. Partly because of his natural instinct of survival, and partly because someone owed him twelve dollars. Things went through his mind as fatigue began to set in. He thought of nothing of particular interest, just things. You know, the - did I leave the iron on? - things. Was the cat fed? Was I fed? Doesn't that shark over there owe me twelve dollars? SHARK?!!!

    Life is a kumquat. You're either picked too early, or you fall on the ground and rot until you're eaten by ants or maggots. Preferably ants.

    Dead people don't talk. But the mumbling under the floorboards can sure keep you awake at night.

    The shark encircled our super-hero as he treaded the murky waters of Nigel VI - (A rather pissed-on planet orbitting the more familiar Rigel VI). Now the sharks of Nigel VI are far worse than their puny relatives on Earth. Although they have no teeth, many unfortunate souls have been "nudged" to death by the giant noses of these nasalar sharks. (Not to even mention their constant pestering to wash your windshield.) So without describing the eating habits of the Aldeberan Fruit Bat, we now leave you with our pathetic excuse for a dentist - Lash Hotflash, super-hero.

    The shark edged closer to our hero as he swam faster and faster. Lash felt a sharp pain in his lower back. This pissed him off more than it hurt. Having been "nudged" in a soft spot, he would be bruised for at least a week or two. Just as Lash was to receive a fatal nudging, the plot changed. It seemed as if the tide receeded a few DOZEN feet in a matter of a few split- seconds, leaving Lash, his predator, and a few thousand squid plunging a few dozen feet towards the empty, mudlike, sea-bed. (If you've ever seen a few thousand squid stuck in the middle of a muddy desert, then you know that they can become quite pissed. But that is not the problem at the moment.)

    Strange things, the tides are. One split-second you're swimming laps around Lenny-the-Person-You-Swim-Laps-Around, and the next split-second you're sludging through the mud. Flash-tides are quite common throughout the galaxy, actually. Mostly because Nigel VI's orbitting moon is almost a thousand times larger than the planet itself. The celestial "tug" on the planet is an understatement.

    Now semi-permanently stuck in waist-full "mirk", Lash waited patiently for his twelve dollars.

    Lash adjusted himself and left the dental assistant. Four years had passed since four years ago, and Lash hardly felt older than himself. Having escaped the narrow clutches of the Birthday Bandit, Lash was lucky to be 37 once again. (VGA Graphics Version). It wasn't until two years later that Lash turned 39. But that would be more than a decade in the future, as Lash continued to continue his quest... his search for the ultimate Rice Krispie Treat --- uh, bladder.

    Simon picked his nose as the class watched. Simon had no pride, no self being, no... self. Simon was a fish with fingers. If ever an underwater creature had digital prosthetics, Simon was it. The only thing Simon really did was pick his fish-like nose. Did I mention that Simon had a nose? Oh, yeah. Simon had this nasalar protrusion protruding right above his beak. Yes, he had a beak, too. This was the only way he could eat insects. Yes siree, Simon was the only flying fish with a nose, fingers, and a beak who liked insects. More like a moose. His antlers made him out to be more like a moose with scales. Simon sat and picked his nose again.

    The very first Grot-Box was something called the WeatherCube. It was a pretty neat little box. It had an antenna to make it look like a radio. It also had a switch. An interesting device, it was; complete with a circuit board full of phony components. When you depressed the switch, it even made a static noise. And it only took a red Enercell to power it (9V). Most existing Grot-Boxes are supported by flashing lights, but this one relies on sound. All in all, it is a very good (although expensive) way of doing a whole lotta nothing.

    It's a rainy day in Tangier. All the Bushmen are crying "Way-oh Way-oh Ooki Ooki Day-Oh". The birds are singing. The tigers are chanting. And little Haruki is learning to build cities out of the versatile papiya root. It's a pleasant day, indeed. The spaghetti flourishes this time of year. It's long stems make even the clumsiest cook a veteran chef. Trolls go into hiding near this time, and the roads are free for travel once again. Yes, it is a wonderful day. Radio Tangier is playing my favorite melody. I hum it as Haruki strips the bark from the papiya. I lend him a hand, but he is not sure what to do with it. Haruki begins to remove the root. The ants crawl amidst the dripping sap, and all is beautiful in Tangier. The river flows rapidly this spring. It will not be stagnant this year. The gazelle graze nearby on the plain; some drink from the river. You can see the fish in the river where the river is calm. The neighbors fish with spears. All is bountiful in the Tangier. It is a bountiful day.

    Dr Emu notes that "Dammit, Jim, I'm not an author, I'm a caretaker." Of the Slosh that is, making him more a zookeeper than a writer. Which would explain the theory that says this was written by monkeys... but we know that one already. Anyway, Steve, here 'tis: Dammit Jim, I'm a dildo not a macrobiologist.

    One morning on my way past whatever it may be that Steve is in now (an organization of professional murders? nevermore said the emu (he couldn't afford a raven!) / a popular concept lately) I supposedly appeared unto him (I say he had a hangover and was dreaming having been stoked on onionsauce) riding on a Twinkie (sexual implications!) a 16' Twinkie at that (my Twinkie is longer than yours, eh!) which (the Twinkie) was wearing a convertible Turbanmobile (ah s--- [shit] them already?) and (I think I supposedly did this but I'd rather the Twinkie did) screamed "I am a fish egg watching a chainfighting dogsmoke in a submarine, oh yeah, and Energizer!"

    Hormones? Pthwptpt spit. Shmormones. Which are not Mormons, shmorons, porons spaces or verticular digs. And what is Steve doing to my VCR... and will the head need to be cleaned afterwards. I know that Steve. You answer it. In fact, to be, largely, indeed. For yes, why but not, cough. Sneeze. I have to buttox. But that would give me a tape recorder in my... cough. Sneeze.

Nonplussed, doubleplusungood, nar while the stroking was David. For being, I am, eternally. Commas.

    At that time in the morning Steve found it entirely explicable and his brain was so fried that this seemed perfectly normal except insofar as Steve jas no conception (oh? pregancies?) of what normal is that could be recognized by any member of the human race. Except for those who are losing said race by a bumblebee. Steve replied "GSYHIAP!" which left the Twinkie very confused (you're not by now? wow? wow/now/bow/wow/how scrambled) and left me (supposedly me but I say Reagan) punching his hand into the Twinkie's back pulling out handfuls of cream, and spitting it in all directions. Steve continued onward totally untroubled and unworried about any sociopathic implications of a homicidal blender.

    Quam Time with William Shatner

    Laturnipa Jackson was bought out by late-night cable Infomercials.

    I didn't expect to receive a Christmas card from Bill Shatner. After all, the Hair is a full time job in itself.

    Bill: Should we send a card to Jeff?
    Hair: But I need a trim!
    Bill: Maybe we can send one later.
    Hair: But I'm getting blow dried later.
    Bill: Maybe next year.

    A whisper to a SCREAM, a whisper to a SCREAM. We are the dawn children... as opposed to me, Don children. Never mind.

    Amidst the dull dreariness of our boring everyday lives, there lives amongst us a silent minority. No, not Eskimos, American Indians, or Dentists. This unique culture has gone for centuries undetected until recently stumbled upon by New York City fur trapper, Jay Douglas Whitney. Jay explains: "Well, I was out trappin' coons on West 125th. I set the traps and left. An hour later, I returned to check them. Sure enough, I had caught me a funny lookin' critter."

    What Jay saw was none other than a rare breed of Americans--the North American Urban Witchdoctor. Practicing medicine for centuries within the unexplored region of Central Park, this curious species occasionally leaves the "jungle" to investigate modern society; bringing back tales of adventure and Metamucil. These cannibalistic headhunters live off a main diet of stock brokers, but occasionally will snack on a lawyer or two. Thus, the Witchdoctor Empire seems to revolve not around paper money, but vast accumulations of Rolex watches.

    Policemen patrolling the Park were unaware of any underground Shaman activity. According to Lt. Bruce Pavaroni, NYPD, the skulls and human remains blended in with the common genre of 20th Century Manhattan. "They are not considered a threat," states Pavaroni, "unless they change their diet." City officials are currently undecided whether to give the 143 Medicine Men "citizenship" status, even though their political interests will unlikely cause any impact when voting on domestic issues.

    According to the NYC Department of Health and Welfare, the Witchdoctors will continue to remain in the remote regions of Central Park. Plans have been made to educate and civilize this tribe, but city officials fear confronting them, as Public Officials are a Witchdoctor delicasy. When asked what the future holds for the tribe, Chief Shaman Otagooni replied, "Oog, soog. Ahni tong suk. Danoobi frim ogg, William Shatner."

    No, I don't need a personal psychic. I already know how gullable I am, and how much I am going to pay you.

    Cheesy fight scenes. That's what you get when your stunt actor is sixteen. In response to Captain Kirk's statement, "We can increase that capability [booster] on the order of `one to the fourth power'" (episode "Courtmartial"; .VOC file available), scientists now say that they can now measure this mysterious quantity. So just how much is 1 to the 4th power? Could it be the same as the square root of 1? Could it be 14 to the power of 0? What about 463 to the power of 0? Any number divided by itself? No. No. No. 1 to the 4th power is exactly equal (within .000359%) to 72.88885. Scientists have been puzzled for years at this strange equation until the invention of the electron microscope. Now scientists can always rely on the fact that 1 to the 4th power is a constant 72.88885, providing the ambient temperature is 44.001 degrees C., Mount St. Helens is dormant during the winter months (Washington residents only), and you've had one too many marguaritas. Before the electron microscope, physicists could only approximate the quantity of 1 to the 4th power. They knew it to be somewhere between infinity and negative 6. They were right on target. Leading scientists have also proposed names and symbols for the newly discovered quantity. ANSI is expected to adopt one of several proposed names this month. Among the names to be chosen for 1 to the 4th power: the "Shatner", "Bill's Constant", "Bad Hairpiece", and "This Is What Doughnuts Do To Starship Captains". So in conclusion, the audio booster amplified sound by 72.88885. [72.88885 whats is another matter: 72 etc watts, decibels, donuts, very fine jellies, warm hamsters snuggling in your gonads at night -- dandy until they nibble, reminding me of a girl I once knew... -Emu]

    Then there is that T.J. Hooker thing. I have never been able to figure out why the LC Police Department had more than 6 or 7 officers. T.J. himself would play cop, detective, interrogator, judge, and jury in a single episode. Can this possibly be what goes on in the average day of any given police officer? I can only have the utmost respect for any officer who puts in 12 hour shifts on a job where he/she shoots or is shot at every 20 minutes, is involved in 100 mph car chases every 16.3 minutes, needs a firearm to arrest a jaywalker, beats thugs and gets the answer he/she wants, and drives CODE-3 (lights & siren) to make a phone call. We should be mailing these public figures letters of gratitude after watching one sole episode of T.J. Hooker! If only my favorite officer looked like Heather Locklear, I would be committing crimes more often.

    If everyone had an infrared remote control for his/her brain, would that mean psychiatrists would have Universal Remotes?

    Also we may care to note that English classes are a contradiction in terms in our country although we would not know the phrase "contradiction in terms" without language (in this case, English) which, surprisingly enough, is enhanced by English classes and not the Stockton Record. So we may feel that Life itself is either in contempt of the great court in the sky or that it is merely nonexistant because of its contradicting itself. This we cannot prove. Mr. Weller. Is. Not. Carl Sagan. Carl Satan.

    We just wanted to say to Ms Jane K Dominik at Delta or someplace resembling it, a little or a lot, but as don't have time (Garkbit, MC, Great Poet Zarquon) we won't. (But I will. HI!!!)

    Psychiatrists say that one in four people are mentally ill. Check three of your friends. If they're okay, you're it.

    We now had this to say about something else:

    Title

    Or, our fourth quarter Chemistry Project like This One... what we don't know about computers can't hurt us, right?

    In recent years there has been a growing realization that computers are very much more than fast automatic calculating machines for accountants and scientists; and a deepening concern has arisen about the possible consequences for their ever-widening use. This concern has been sharpened by the advent of the micro-computer. Some of the consequences raise problems that involve economic, social and political considerations which lie beyond the specific expertise of computer specialists. It is important, therefore, to promote the closest cooperation and understanding between all who are engaged in designing or using computer systems, or who may be affected by their operation.

    Actually we're just some poor slugs who are unlucky enough to own seventeen of the damn things, and we really don't know anything at all. How we got this mind-bending topic anyhow is completely and utterly beyond our twistedly futile myopic dessicated little brains. So we didn't actually do any real research, or indeed rent any sources. (Rent, check out, whatever the verb is. I told you we're dumb.) I honestly think we're much more qualified to discuss how rancid our socks are after forty-seven days in the closet. We did not buy this paper from a term paper service for $25. No, we paid $2! In fact, the rest of the essay was collected from random mutterings on a local BBS, and so therefore might make absolutely no sense at all. I hope not anyway.

    Without further ado, our quarter project.

    Our quarter project

    (Told you we didn't know anything!)

    In the beginning, there were Tubes. And the Creator said, Let there be Light, and there was Light, for the Tubes generated much Waste Energy, some of it Light. There were Univacs, and Maniacs, and Income Tax. And this was the First Generation of Computers. Yet these were but Toasters. And the Creator said that was good, but He wanted better. So He created the Transistor. There were IBM's, and Altairs, and the Three Bears. And this was the Second Generation of Computers. Yet these were but Calculators, too big for any but King Kong's pockets. The Creator was displeased. He saw that the transistor was lonely, and He created millions of them. This was good, but they were too great, and consumed much Electricity, and exuded much Heat, too much of both for the Creator. And there were IMSAI's, and PerSci's, and Economy Size. Yet these were but Kludge, so He let there be Integration, and many Transistors were crammed onto one Chip. And this was the Third Generation of Computers. But in time the Chips became too great, consuming and exuding, and these could not Crunch Numbers. The Creator said that it was good, but He wanted better. He decided to make Very Large Scale Integration, which meant that all those chips together had to be doing something, and in this case they were making Microchips. And this was the Fourth Generation of Computers, which can be used to write Chemistry Projects like This One. And Computers were small, and powerful; and Microchips were invading the Household, and the Business, and they were Everywhere. The Creator looked upon them, and He was satisfied at last, and He left the Fifth Generation of Computers for the Japanese to Build. The Fifth Generation would be truly Powerful, for it could write Chemistry Projects like This One for Us, but the Creator would rather have Us write our own Chemistry Projects like This One.

    And that is our Computer History 1A class for today. Tomorrow's lesson: After the Microchip, what about the buffalo Chip? Is there a life after Chips?

    Yet even with the First Amendment there is the minor question of censorship so as that we cannot discuss how English classes relate to "contraception in terms" and like phrases, eh. Neverthelesss, it is in fact history and other social science classes like government and economics (which teach, respectively anarchy and being broke) to also explicate unto our sieve-like brains (yes my Buick was eaten by aliens) exactly what constitutes First Amendent rights wrongs lefts and Freds. Also other classes teach Ten (Fifteen according to Mel Brooks) Commandments but that is another pile of slosh's predicament to explicate. What comes next in the following sentence: (Noun) (Verb) Cheese (Slosh)?

    LATEX BABES OF ESTROS (SQX)

    Who exactly is 7-Zark-7 anyway?

    I was just thinking again. The longest books (novels) ever written--War and Peace, Gone With the Wind, etc. Why? Who could be demented enough to think that a good story has to have 1213 pages? I have yet to encounter a person with intelligence that has read such a novel. You'd think that the authors were sending these things to Reader's Digest: let's see... 38,000 words, 11,000 lines... that's 1.6 million dollars we'll pay you for your contribution. Oh, thanks for your subscription. It's almost as if they think it is some sort of contest to see who can write the longest book. Sorry, no encyclopedias allowed! A real contest -- a conQUEST -- would be to write the SHORTEST novel possible. The shortest story possibly conceived, including the introduction, plot, climax, and conclusion (English 1A). That would be a committment. You wouldn't even believe how small the shortest story currently is. It is so small, there is no way to measure it. The complete book: "A." is 57.1 times longer than this story. It is impossible to describe with words. You can only perceive it as a sort of feeling or idea. It's science fiction with a complex plot; not for the intellectually weak. Done thinking.

    Lash diverted the funds until his divorce was final. As he entered the magic poppy, Lash could only remember how beautiful Heddi actually was. That face... that hair... that... hair... It was too late now, and Heddi was no longer his. All Lash had was his ego and a box of Metamucil. Orange flavor Metamucil.

    It must have been a few days later that he stumbled across a smart-ass. He asked it if it had seen the largest, most gigantuous bladder in all the universe. But all the smart-ass could do was fart; typical of the species-- not very sociable. Not being able to understand the smart-ass, Lash left him with no audience. But the smart-ass was able to point him in the right direction (under much difficulty, mind you). The end of the quest was near.

    Years of scientific research has concluded that the "TURBO" button on specific computer systems has no effect when using a word processor. Years of scientific reasearch has concluded that the human brain has no effect when using a word processor.

    Einstein's theory of relativity... Darwin's theory of evolution... with these two theories combined, I have come up with the ultimate concept of human existance: Darstein's theory of evolving relatives. Of course! This explains what scientists are not able to. As your bloodline transcends down the family tree, each "branch" undergoes a specific degeneration. E.G.: If you had a great-grandparent that just happened to be an idiot, then your family is gradually going to degenerate to a clan of idiots, unless there is a freak shifting of the chromosomes. Then your descendents may skip straight to morons or imbuciles. This theory may explain the "Uncle Howard" at Thanksgiving Dinner. This should not worry you though. It is possible that the chromosomes may abruptly shift BACKWARD in as little as one generation. E.G.: Your kids having been bred by an idiot, may possibly be exceptionally smart and land a prize on Star Search. This is only a theory, mind you. No conclusive evidence has been drawn. You draw your own conclusions.

    As to the reader who wrote and asked if eggplants could be bred into a species of super-intelligent explosives... it is highly unlikely. I have been performing tests on the combustion of unwanted vegetables, and personally concluded that fruit (especially the citrus variety) combust more readily and efficiently. In fact, self-combustion among fruit is quite common. How many times have you passed through the orchard and come upon nothing but a peach pit? Again, you must draw your own conclusions. By the way, the fuzz found on most peaches was intentionally put there by my neighbor, Ralph.

    That statement will apppear again and was originally, as you just saw it, "Thank you Carl Sagan. So. Well. Maybe. Perhaps. Indeed." Also, Mr. Chris H. Fluetsch says, "How do you spell billyuns?"

We shall transfer it to the C-Pro when the unit is up. So why were there never any female Sleestacks? I don't know. It is Tax Season once again, and I never felt better (butter). Incidently, if you ever decide to work work for the big T-Corp, be sure to register with a phony SSN. Case point: If you work for the Roachmeister, you WILL PAY UNCLE SAM. No tax refunds. At all. Ever. By the way, the price of dead chickens should rise once I get done with my post-tax-season buy-out.

    Well, it is April once again. Spring Break is upon us. And like millions of other college students, I am spending this week at home, broke, and on my last box of milk bones. Spring sucks. I think there's a term paper due next week, but I'm afraid that I'll worry about it, so I don't think of it. I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go. Jump around. There's a box next to my 5th grade sock in my desk. It has a blinky light in it. It blinks when you flick the switch (a lot like a girl I once knew). Has anyone priced Okra lately? Amongst its two uses are artificial snot and innertube repair adhesive. In the greek language, Okra is spelled "distufdasteslykcrap". No wonder it isn't very popylar (popylar) in greek. (Incidently, I find it much easier to put -[sic]- after each misspelled word rather than hit the backspace key.) I [sic] pleriboos [sic] Yunimm [sic]. (Retraction goes here.)

    Amongst the other neat and really neat stuff is an interesting subwoofer box I seemed to have made this week. Sounds great. (As great as a Realistic Subwoofer is allowed to be.) Due to a slight miscalculation, I seemed to have barricaded my sock drawer with this gigantuous [sic?] bass box. (Another incidently: Make sure there are no AC outlets where you plan on putting anything larger than a red 9V Enercell.) Amongst the other not-as- interesting-as-my-sock-drawer escapades is the drawer across the room from my sock drawer. 29 8-track tapes. If you do find that more interesting than my sock drawer, please send me 4 million dollars and I'll make sure you get it. If there is indeed something called a jellyfish, why hasn't anyone made fish jelly? [sick]

    It also seems that this semi-okay Wildcat BBS service is missing all of its GIF files. Directory 36 is now some kind of OS/2 thing, and directory 43 is now Health/Medicine -- on second thought, maybe directory 43 IS the new GIF directory. But any trace (not tracewell) of a GIF (besides anti-interesting GIFS) has disappeared. [dic] [Incidently, you used to have to press the [shift] key on a Commodore to display the [brackets] [].]

    Something of interest, it seems, is this miracle of the 50's -- the transparent Scotch Tape. Up until the mid-50s, tape was clear and shiny. Then (almost overnight) the tape became clear but not shiny. I thought that's why Scotch called it MagicTape. But I asked a magician friend of mine why they call it MagicTape. He said it was because magicians use it to tape the bunny-rabbit inside the hat. I dunno. (This cell is for the tape that is clear AND shiny. That cell is for tape that is clear but is NOT shiny. Over there is the cell for not-clear tape that is drunk and DOES care.)

    I feel the need for chocolate CoolWhip. My recipe calls for 2 spoons of Chocolate CoolWhip with a dab of ice-cream on top and KWIN plays too much disco. Why is it that nobody ever throws out old dry ball-point pens? I seem to have a drawer full of them (or drawer-full of them, if you will.) So many dead pens, and I'm saving them. As if there will be some kind of dead pen shortage in the future, and I want to capitalize on the idea. As if one of them will all of a sudden come back to life, and to think that I would have thrown out that 29 cent pen! [bic] Amongst them seems to be a hi-liter pen that still works, but turns from yellow ink to brown in about 3 weeks. The package says it is ideal for phone books. Excuse me, but aren't the yellow pages a bit too yellow for a hi-liter? The only reason that I can see for using that pen on a phone book is that you can see what you hi-lited three weeks from now when the ink turns brown.

    It's 1:31 A.M., and I'm trying to write an article report for psychology class. It's at this time, I write a letter to the Editor of the Slosh - a.k.a. Dr. Emu (Chief Executive Censor).: Dear Sirs: Keep up the good work. I am presently trying to write a report for class, and I must admit that the Slosh has been extremely useful. For years I have had trouble writing for assignments, due to inexperience. Because of the Slosh, I have begun to write rather precariously (I don't know what that word means, but it sounds good) well. It is at the college level that instructors want to see creativity and thought in papers, not dull phrases copied from the encyclopedia. I know my instructor will enjoy my paper (with the exception of a couple "ooop ooop ooops (spoo spoos, too) and frap maxi zoom dweebies). It is for that reason that I write this precariously written letter. Sincerely, Brig. Gen. A. Martin Witherspoon, Mrs.

    The fifth grade sock is back, again. No, his name isn't Lech Walesa, but it nevertheless is a sock. It has a hole (the sock, not Lech Walesa). Not a very big hole, about the size of a pencil width. One grass stain, slight filth. It was a Tuesday when the sock started for home after the graveyard shift. Six city blocks had been traversed by the time the sock reached his domicilistic habitat. The sock was rather stupid, so the story ended abruptly. Lech Walesa is a registered trademark of Poland (I think.)

    If it wasn't for CTRL-Y, you would be able to see the line I just typed. It was because of the line I previously typed that CTRL-Y came into existance. Necrophelia? [sic] [gif] [sick] [ucla] Is a red battery worth more if the plastic hasn't been removed? Does the bubble gum lose its flavor on the wankel rotary engine overnight? Achtung -- Ouchtongue.

    Four score and several terds ago, I decided I wasn't going to fish for silverware. It seemed important at the time, but now it seems so distant. As for the silverware, it is best left unspooned. I think it's time for another quiz, since I haven't insulted anyone lately...

    ENTRANCE EXAMINATION

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT BRIAN'S HOUSE

    1. The reason everyone wants to graduate from Brian's House is:

    2. You lose your homework, but your lab partner has hers already completed and ready for turn-in. The assignment is not due until the end of class. You:
    3. Brian's House is:

    28. When dating your lab partner, you should:
    No purchase required, absolutely no obligation -- it's just our way of encouraging you to visit our store. To get one FREE battery each month, simply present this card to salesperson or cashier holding the magic inflatable flammable fish. The magic inflatable flammable fish reserves the right to limit any warranty's limitations. This does not, however, apply to any dead pigeons. Female stick figures. Interesting. Just when you thought all of your reports were turned in, there seems to be a term paper due this Friday. No problem. This leaves Tuesday to get the books, Wednesday to think about reading the books, Thursday to scribble various notes out of the encyclopaedias, and Friday 1 A.M. to 7 A.M. to scribble the paper and jot down the books you didn't read into the bibliography. Whew.

    In fact, that was the Internal Revenue Service (be wary of strong drink: it can make you shoot at tax collectors and miss!) and not the International Record Syndicate who do The Alarm and The Three O'clock and all sorts of other weird groups but that's beside the point. So perhaps I will rap now. Keep in mind I'm serious about what I say - when it comes to business I just don't play. My rhymes have to be smart, stabbin' you in the heart, they don't call this boy the Emu Doctor just for the part.

    It works better if you plug it in. And if you grease it first.

    This may also be proven not to exist which really doesn't mean anything and so Jerry Falwell also doesn't come into the picture since he too does not exist. Nor does UTFO who I stole that rap from. Now for the deep part. Wooga wooga. Waaga wagga. Weega Weega. Wiiga Wiiga. Wuuga Wuuga. Wyyga Wyyga.

    If you're feeling good, don't worry. You'll get over it.

    I own all vowels ha ha Vanna. Black White or otherwise. Now we must have some serious reality genderchanges with ice cream as the sole successor to our sociobiologically religious unstable blender. Kinky. What the hell. cough. Okay so I don't know what I'm saying either - who cares if yer reading this you gotta be nutso anyway. Thank you.

    LSD melts in your mind, not in your hand. Nobody is sayin nuttin about dem fuckin MandMs. (More C or just CaPiTaLiZiNGggggggg)

    We may also notice that the political infrastructure of the current indigenization (not a paragraph) may not be what they seem - though what they are has yet to be seen except by certain individuals who have since become stranded on a desert island with a sheep fanatic. Get out the buckets now Marge! This is the meening of EEP OPP ORP AA-AH!

    Credo quia absurdum est

    (I believe because it is absurd).

    And so here we are again, punting hrd drives or drving hard punts or possibly punting line drives down the end of the road. Aaron's hard drive is single, and that seems to be the only single thing around here, as if that might or might not actually deal with anything thatmay or may not exist.

    Remember, Emil Durkheim may not have known anything about Stephen Hawking, but he sure did know something about SUICIDE in Europe, which may or may not actually have anything to do with a) Europe or b) Suicide or possibly your mother, etc.

    Remember, I'm the only person who knows who Emil Durkheim is, so this must be Chris. (Actually I listened, whilst half-asleep, to a religion-class lecture about the dude, and he's (he was) a social scientist or some such like Kant and such like.) -- Emu

    Weather is here, wish you were beautiful!!! The sky is too clear, life's so easy today. The beer is too cold, The...Death to all Borg, unless they aren't, or something. Here, hold this, no, like this... So, my train of thought left the station of life too many years ago, so there you go.

    We may or may not be old, but we certainly are older than we were yesterday, except for those of us who lived backwards until today, or something.

    That was a meaningless space, meant to signify the meaningful space that we take up with our lives. We breathe, we eat, we kill, we feel emotion unless we don't, and then we get on the USS Crazy Horse, but we do not admit it, etc.

    Isn't this rude? Money is only an object to those who have none. Call 1-800-LLAMAS4YOU Don't inhale. So who's sorry that they voted???? Nice tie. Don't snarf on your tie that binds, because people are tying each other up. Polish is a really cool language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Professor Scott would hate this program, because it doesn't microjustify, but then again, he believes that all nubile women exist primarily as breeders for middle aged men, and young men exist because they make a high grade of Marine.

    Don't hit your hed on a cealing fan, because it fucks up, or down, or something. Don't think for yourself. Think for someone else. Don't toush my monkey. So What's love got to do, got to do with it?????

    Now, Karl Marx, who won the English football cup in 1959? Bad luck Karl, it is in fact Westham United! Now Mao Tse-Tung, what was Jerry Lee Lewis' biggest hit in the US of A? Thank you George but in fact it was not the Flying Lizards. Sex Machine, what? Rather (Dan!), it has been informed of us that the Emus are soon to stage a coup (chicken coup? No, emu soup!) Now this tells us something (seriously now folks ladies and gerbils we are on Planet Erthsky now) about the fundamental nature of the people amongst which we live. Really. I kid you not. Well, just a little bit. Some bum rolls plead. Now the sound of a ruler being vibrated off the edge of a desk. Also of Bill The Cat (not necessarily but possibly being vibrated off the edge of a desk) Thpppwppwpwpwwwwwwt isms.

    Lions are growing like yellow roses on the wind

    Cabbage: a familiar kitchen-garden vegetable about as large and wise as a man's head.

    If we prove that something does not exist does that prove it does not exist or rather merely that we do not acknowledge (ack!) its existence on another existential plane? (plain?) Therefore, it can conclusively be proven that nothing in fact exists and that therefore it IS true that this is entirely slosh and in fact made by an extremely tired or merely fluffed and mayonnaised beyond belief individual (me!) and thus I can stop this and go home and enjoy myself and you won't have to read this any farther and I'll finish this when you finish reading it which is never and so everybody will be happy for the first time in history which in fact is a fallacy and a contradiction in terms itself but that is another pile of slosh's predicament to discuss and so thus I shall finish writing this. There is the minor consideration that nothing can be conclusively proven. PS: Intel's Extended Memory System (BART is Bay Area Rapid Transit to The Simpsons!) actually is EMS for EAT MY SHORTS but only on alternate Matthew Hollings.

    With a rubber duck one's never alone. With a rubber one's hardly alone.

    Tin fact the currant indigenization is pretty weird for the raisins, troubled though they may be. Scream at grapes. Or rape window screens? I scream for Dr Pepper mostly when I drink it I throw up I knew many Pepsii like that Ompey hey hey hey Find a little bitch gonna leave her in the ditch Gonna have a few fits gonna chop off her tits.

    Or dump a load on em. But thra, sney, floooooooooooooopk.

    Adios amigas y con quien te acuestas seņor P----- if it is M----- you shall die a thousandth of a death by beatings with 42 wet noodles and of course we must remember Special High Intensity Training and also the Fall Underwater Cuckoo Kicking In Non Green weather! Notice some slight similarity to N---- "Don't Stand So Close To Me Mr. D" (--------). But Steve said that. FMT2.

    Death is Nature's way of recycling human beings.

    MERRY TWINKIES AND A HAPPY BUD LIGHT!

    Matrimony is not a word, it's a sentence.

    That was installment ONE of Zang Tuum Tumb's not-at all-related ex-mother- in-law's fish-heads song.

    Ban the bomb - save the world for conventional warfare.

    ADDENDUM THERETO and THEREFORESUM sorta well anyway. This is not to say what AF is actually tired, merely that he claims to be so or that he in fact is physically so while under the mental destabilization of nudity? Would that I was.

    When all other means of communication fail, try words.

    And let us throw tactical nuclear emus while we are at it. And let us remember those days in which we excused ourselves with a religious enthusiasm. And let us remember the cabbage. And the lettuce. Ha ha ha ha ah. Peek-A-Boo! I can smell you. And I know you're a Schmoo! So put your hands on your toes! And pick your nose! Who knows where the nose goes? Peek- A-Boo! (Hans Franz Beersteins girls I once went out with and Fletch ate pizza to aargh did she ever like me even or waz I jus coot? Now noisms.)

    I am gratified to say I can answer, and promptly. I don't know.

    Power supplies are among those devices considered hoopy, as are people and of course mechanical organs. Prosthetic toes and such. Now does an EMUlator discomboggulateski an EMU or is it merely a sentence such as Norton Juster's "I am"? or Rene Descartes' "I think therefore I am"? or Ambrose Bierce's "I think I think therefore I think therefore I am"? or Monty Python's "I drink therefore I am"? or any of all of those things which Steve mostly wrote with bits by me and other people? or for that matter any of the other 673 words that somebody disgusted above? Preak a Foo - Kiss a schmoo - Boot a shoe - hey 4q!

    Oh, dear, where can the matter be?
    When it's converted to energy?
    There is a slight loss of parity.
    Johnny's so long at the fair.

    [In reference to the above, parity is not conserved in macro-particles either. And I put three socks on this morning... and on my feet, too!]

    The thought of meeting you makes me weak in the knee. Honey pie.

    That number which, when multiplied by, divided by, added to, or subtracted from the answer you got gives you the answer you should have gotten.

    Are you finished now, AF? is a good question and I think I will answer it now since I must go stick my head under a faucet and see if oil spleeks out. Yes I am leaving, talk to you in a later lifetime, and/or when I reload this and start typing deleteriful nonsense again! John Cleese. May sneeze.

    All I ask is a chance to PROVE that money can't make me happy.

    Eye fell wonferdul, ossifer.

    Aktwale I fell like shti but that's between me and Stacy Fidanque's Franchise Tax Board.

    Drawing on my fine command of the language, I said nothing. Besides FTC and FTP ... forget the consonants and the powels. Plimsouls? Lemon curry?

    Oh give me a locus
    Where the gravitons focus
    Where the three body problem is solved
    Where microwaves play
    Down at three degrees K
    And the cold virus never evolved
    Home, Home on LaGrange
    Where the space debris always collects
    We have so it seems
    Two of mans greatest dreams
    Solar power and Zero Gee sex

    Look, I apologize that I keep disappearing and coming back but you must realize that even I supreme studmuffin asshole Fred could not do all of this garbage at one time (it's taken me some years to promulgate) so every once in a while I shut up and then return to spew forth boll weevils once again. Doormats. That was instalment ninety-seven of zero-ized Gary Numan Elsewhere- specified number of episodes.

    The probability of forgetting something is directly proportional to... to, uh.... Dolby Surround Sound.

    It is too bad that this little Tandy laptop that I tote about cannot have the Slosh on it. Something about it having only the 720K 3.5" floppy to its name and the boot stuff and WordStar (yes! 3.3Pro!) take up too much space. If I could tote it around (yes, I know, more than one floppy disk would do) then I would be forced to show it to people... and that would be bad.

    Besides, this has to be the most evil keyboad in the whole world. It's so finicky about which characters it wil accept and which it jst ens nto obvlin. Irritating habit, that. Makes you lose your train of thought, or at least derail it.

    Slow, too, but cheap. And here at EmuTech, that's what's important. Cheap!

    The damnedest thing about XT's is that ya gotta load all these device drivers... RAMDRIVE.SYS to get a drive C:, one to speed the video up by bypassing the BIOS or some such, one to speed up the CPU by dicking with the DMA timing for the DRAM refresh, eek. Tha and of course ya gotta load them all into low memory, and allocate your RAM drive there (256K of conventional RAM down the drain!) 'cuz there is NO high memory on an 8088-class machine.

    Now that I have finished complaining, and set up clever batch files to provide me with relatively quick operation, by putting GWBASIC and WS onto the RAMDRIVE, the screen update is still slow. AARGH!!!

    Anyway, no more comlaints, that's Jeff's department. And Eric Idle doesn't like the pill 'cos it's nasty.

    With PACMAN, DIGDUG and ZAXXON I'm never out of six-letter executable files, and with GWBASIC and WS, I'm never without a useable computer. Until the battery wears down. At thirty bucks a pop I shan't get two. 'Sides, there's an amazing Emu gizmo which'll connect this thing to the electrical system in my car for MUCH longer use cycles. Heinous hyenas?

    Admiral Wankel. Admriable wanker? Emu out, Star Trek's over, time for bed.

    I am the death chicken, or at least the death cricket radar detector, much like the Salvation Army Air Corp, wherein they drop Santa Claus' on you shouting "Merry Christmas!" from great altitude, resulting in many dead Santa Claus wanna-be's, and a lot of flat innocent passerby. Flat-chested reindeer are different, Jeff. It uses the special 9-wolt battery, as advertised by Walter Koenig on TV. The death cricket, that is. Chrip frap turnip, I am the death cricket. Please Jimmy to me. Oh Madonna, oh Madonna, oh Madonna Cleavagetime.

    Shall we determine which of the six possible locations for the horn activating mechanism. The fire exinguisher is between the hamster's dope pedals. It's what you push to get the dope in the weird rats-on-pot exeriments. No-one else will do it, therefore I must. Pass on the right, kill on the left, crush down the middle. Drive over Volkswagens, anyone?

    Dope man, dope man, as long as he gets paid. And then there was the alleged dash-mat. Five-dimensional stereo or a stove. Makes no difference. Ron would have killed himself by now, whereas The Kid just strangles himself with the nearest Steve Vought. (That incidentally was brought on by Aaron saying, "Jeff I need an object: slimy, preferably at least ten feet long." He responded with, "Steve Vought"?)

    Only there's no modem, and there's no bus. Kinda like the death turnip, only there's no death, and there's no turnip. What is that computer for? We have said this before.

    Can anyone say picofarad? Aargh. 25 September = UC Davis. GIF = good.

    Advice to nerds looking to get laid... take a social science class. Humanities and anthropology are good, psychology is okay but you get the kinda skanky nutso chicks... linguistics and the "soft sciences" yield bountiful harvests of cute chicks with huge "tracts of land"... also lots of hairspray and plastic faces but if ya look around... it's amazing how much good honest American tits & ass are out there begging for a nerd to grab them. 'Nuff said.

    This is MobileSlosh, TS on location in West Forum, SJDC. It's 9:26 and nearly time for Gyermek's Art 1A: History of Art from prehistoric times to the Renaissance. Oh well, more sleeping. "Vell goot mornink ladiez and gennlemen." "Look at za pretty pigturez." And so forth. This after Herr Zeller's pep talk as to how wonderful Delta is and how wonderful we will be after he turns us from girlie-men into real students... this after the same speech six, maybe seven weeks ago in his summer session class. Such is life. Then we have Chris "Mathematica" Barker and finally Lyle A. "Buckwheat" Buckley. 14A Troubleshooting with only a soldering gun and some Freon to your name.

    Advice #2 for girl-getting: Art classes. "Nine-sirty." Thanks Stephen. Tons O' blondes. And no psychopathic Japanese students, invariably late to class, making funny sounds and giving pears to people. Such as can be found in the electronics lab, Budd 221A thru G. Other more feminine things can be found on Budd 2, but their boyfriends are generally very large not-girlie men who hurt us nerds. 'Nuff said, eh? (II) (Chinese)

    "All summer long, locked myself in this room, didn't come out." Lawson has turned into Imo Phillips. The question becomes one of, have you seen both at the same time in the same place? I think not. Perhaps they are the same person. Kinda like Ronald Reagan and Leonard Nimoy, or Alison Moyet and Randy Travis. No, no, they just sound the same, not look the same. Same, but different.

    Go figure. C-435 is NOT as it appears, a hole in the wall. Question then becomes one of what happened to C-302, L-324 or whatever, and so forth. Not of course that my opinion involving women should be adhered to in any way shape form or manner - the only reason I got one is cuz she chased me down - contrary to what she will tell you. What does she know? End of gripe.

    Actually, Buckley will someday be a "God Rest His Soul" just like some other instructors, since deceased, who shall remain nameless (Victor Ybarra). Having your wife beat you, bludgeon you, to death with a hammer is NOT, I repeat, NOT worth a girlfriend. Especially if she's as ugly as I hear. That and she was a student -- BAD TASTE CENTRAL!! Instructor fraternizing with students is one thing, but screwing them in their offices is simply poor judgement. What was that about pirots carulizing elatically? 'Nuff said (III).

    And now, Radio Four will explode. And the Universe will explode for your pleasure. Drinks will be served, writs will be served, and Garkbit will Darkbit, take-ways and flargle out de doo'. and Mozart don't go shoppin no mo'. You'll never meet someone Brahms again and Handle - my handle is Dr Emu. What's yours? [Well it's better than I admire your oddly distributed fatty deposits - may I come in?] Or, if I were to tell you that you have a beautiful body, would you hold it against me? A: Very tight B: Not so very tight or C: Go stick your head in a pig! (GSYHIAP!)

    The generation of random numbers is much too important to be left to chance. Three.

    I don't think so, man - those lights are off on purpose

    As I sit here waiting for school to start, the only thing that comes to mind is the theme song to "Big Valley". Wednesday, 7:50 A.M. Shermer High School; Shermer Illinois. There is nobody here this early. Somebody give me a clipboard so I can look like an Amway Salesman! As I take a seat on a nearby bench, I notice some of the more intelligent graffiti scribed into the wood: "BUS SYSTEM SUCKS". This was obviously written by one of the more rational juvinile thugs, worried more about the cold walk home than shooting at police cars. Waiting for his ride home on a cold winter night, he managed to scribble "Bus System Sucks" in a last effort to keep warm. This may explain the burn marks, his second-to-the-last effort to keep warm. (Something about fire-resistant paint.) Other nearby graffiti defilement includes the word "SLOCK" (origin unknown, although it does appear to be some form of vulcan modification) and "SHUT UP!", containing the "infinity" symbol under the exclamation point. I'm not even going to mention the usual passion-driven profanity that is also contained within these parts. A year ago, the score was 4 to 7.

    S T A R T R E K : The Next-to-the-Last Generation. These are the voyages of the Starship DoorPrize. Its trite almost-ended mission: to seek out new life... and buy it. To coldly bowl where no league has bowled before! PREFACE: Captain Wesley Crusher now commands the donut-class flagship Enterprise. Upon his sixteenth year as Ensign, Starfleet Command decided it best to promote him to Captain, lest he be seen at the Academy another thirty years. Lieutenant Worf, Ship Security Officer, suffered a nervous breakdown and, in his elderly age, thinks he is a dog. His illegitimate son, Alexander, was killed at the age of 23 by a litter of bunnies. Jean-Luc Picard spent 6 years as Admiral of his own Ferengi Kwik-Stop. He eventually bumped into Dr. Beverly Crusher, and died soon thereafter (still a virgin). Dr. Crusher, realizing her son turned out to be a boring intellectual twit, faked her death upon Wesley's incarnation as Captain. She now resides on board a Romulan vessel, selling medical secrets to ex-Surgeon General C. Everett Koop. Lieutenant Commander Data, still in mechanical perfection, was eventually replaced by the Pentium (tm). He still resides on board the Enterprise, but only performing dishwashing and other repetetive tasks. Commander William T. Riker is Captain Crusher's First Officer, still remaining on the Enterprise despite many opportunities to become head of Starfleet Command.

    Holly Hallstrom. Slosh entry for June 14:

    How do you spell Whhorffff-q-ekek? Whorf, Worf, Wohrf, Worfh, Rufus, Wrfho, Orowheat, Noodlenose. Flipping through the channels, I usually don't stop to admire the latest trend on the Home Shopping Club, but I thought it best I mention the sales strategy of these "salesmen" (not gender specific). It seems that this realllllllly neat-o 486 computer system (SX or DX? Who cares? It's a 486, and according to the guy, it has "extra stuff up the wazoo!") "...Thirty... three... Megahertz... (pause) Now that's total quickness! (pause) ...with Windows three-plus-one Plus (and I thought Windows NT was something important!) ...and Windows-Works 2.0 (note: the very knowledgeable salesindividual cleverly pointed out that Works was an important accessory that allows you to have graphics and play games.)" Now here's the clincher - "...comes with 4 ram (pause) expandable to 32 ram." Note the missing clause "Megabyte". I think that's the reason they sell these top-of-the-fish units so darned cheap! They don't tell you it's Megabytes! They actually come with 4 bytes of brand-specific ram (the other 4092 bytes must be purchased specifically for that computer brand and run approximately $2000 a SIMM). / Enuff cheap shots.

    Orowheat. The "O" on the package actually looks more like a "C" than it does an "O". Crowheat. Interesting. I'm still trying to prove that my high school Government teacher was a Klingon. Two problems exist:

    A. Proving high school Government teachers to be extraterrestrial life forms is very tough indeed.

    B. Assume he is a Klingon, and has been proven guilty by the school board. My diploma would be nullified. I'm not going to take Government from a Ferengi the next time!

    The buck never got here.

    It is a proven fact that everyone has a GIF file of NCC-1701-A,B,C,D or E. It is also non-coincidental that no-one remembers how these GIFs got into their GIF directory.

    Thank you for purchasing WinBlat! WinBlat! features the latest technology in hard-drive "punt" detection. Here are the features of this latest revision:

    / Currently the fastest punt detection system available. (Less than 5 seconds average seek - 386/AT Systems).

    / Automatic detection of ALL types of known punting conditions.

    / Safely prevents punting damage of most IDE/SCSI/MFM hard-drives. (Data recovery rate of 99.375%).

    / Easy to mount hardware. (OPTIONAL)

    / "Always watching" TSR constantly looks for punting conditions while system is running. (OPTIONAL WITH HARDWARE KIT)

    Hard-Drive Self Destruction

    With hundreds of destructive computer viruses in existance today, it is a suprising phenomenon that a fixed hard-drive can "crash" all by itself. The average hard-drive is subject to hundreds of thousands of read/write/delete commands throughout its lifetime. Like any other delicate piece of machinery, hard-drives need maintenance. Problems occur when too many file commands have been executed without the proper "clean-up" maintenance.

    Files should ideally be stored in consecutive memory sectors. When the computer looks for the next memory byte of a file, it logically should follow in sequential order. Problems occur when bits of a file are scattered throughout the hard drive. The hard-drive may overlook small bits or even delete them. This condition is called file FRAGMENTATION. Various user utilities are available to correct this situation if caught early enough.

    The destruction process:

    STAGE 1: Files "disappear" or no problems encountered. The files don't actually disappear, but data will not save properly in the File Allocation Table (FAT). If there is a mismatch between the FAT's indicated file length and the actual file length, the file will be deleted from the FAT. The file is still there, but must be recovered using special FAT-Recovery utilities.

    STAGE 2: Lost Clusters. When running CHKDSK or other disk utilities, this message may be encountered. This means that there are missing portions of a program that are NON-RECOVERABLE.

    STAGE 3: Programs "lock up". Program files take a few extra minutes to execute in the early stages. In the latter portion of STAGE 3, programs may lock up the computer and not run at all.

    STAGE 4: FIXED DISK DAMAGE! Overly-neglected hard-drives can be ruined all together when this STAGE occurs. If nearly all files are fragmented, the vector pointing to the next memory sector may be corrupted, pointing to invalid sectors. E.g. - sector 23112 points to sector 12117, which points to sector 4167339 - WHICH DOES NOT EXIST (on drives under 1,000MB). Normally, the FAT reports such sectors as INVALID and attempts to reread. However, in hard-drives which have been overly-neglected, FAT corruption may occur. This can cause the drive head to attempt to read sectors OFF THE DISK! IF the drive head slides off the disk, the hard-drive is DESTROYED PERMANENTLY.

    page 4:

    The WinBlat! Punt-detector

    What it does:

    To prevent your hard-drive's head from falling off the cylinder head, we at BlatSoft have designed a security system to PREVENT PERMANENT DESTRUCTION. Upon startup of your computer, the hard-drive Controller makes a sweep of your hard-drive to verify that it exists in working condition. WinBlat! receives your drive data vectors at the same time the controller does. If your controller attempts to read off the cylinder head, it is safeguarded by the File Allocation Table on the hard-drive, which renders it invalid, and a Controller Error occurs. If, however, the FAT is corrupted (see page 3, STAGE 4), the Controller will throw the cylider read/write head off the disk, destroying the drive. This is where WinBlat! comes to the rescue! Since WinBlat! receives your drive data vectors at the same time your Controller does, WinBlat! confirms that these vectors are valid (the vectors are preset upon installation of WinBlat!). If these vectors are not valid, the following occurs:

    1. Invalid data vector - head attempts to read off disk.

    2. Just as the head reaches the edge of the disk, WinBlat! FORCES the head back on the cylinder.

    3. The Controller tries to read off disk again.

    4. WinBlat! continues to FORCE the head back onto the cylinder.

    THIS CONSTANT FORCING OF THE DRIVE HEAD IS KNOWN AS "PUNTING THE HARD-DRIVE" AND PRODUCES A LOUD "KLUNKING" NOISE WITHIN THE DRIVE.

    WHEN PUNTING OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY TURN OFF THE COMPUTER AND HAVE THE DRIVE SERVICED, USING PROPER F.A.T.-CORRECTING PROCEDURES. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX THE DRIVE YOURSELF UNLESS YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE FILE ALLOCATION TABLE.

    Although PUNTING is not healthy for the drive, it does prevent permanent damage to your hard-drive.

    That is, the GSYHIAP part not the RND# bit. personally I think she is going to a funeral. That chick is too weird for me. I kid you not. Why such a truly offensive piece of male chauvinism is CUTE to her is entirely beyond me, but, then again, she's female, why should I understand what the boingbons goes on inside her head espeically considering I cannot understand what goes on inside mine. She is also full of s--- [shit] (at least until she excretes!) And she says she does but Joe Isuzu (David Leisure is his name!) says that since he's an actor, he's on TV and he lies that he should run for President - if he picked Vanna White as his running mate they'd sweep the polls. Sorry for the fact that that all made sense I apologize and are you a fish anybody? Freep the Poles? Seven.

    Bust a move. Bite the apple. Get it on the way back. As my friend Beaker said when we surprised he and his girlfriend out in the woods on our backpacking trip, "Go Away!" Remember, a kiss is just a kiss, but a good blowjob can last all day. If we're all here, we can't all be there. When in doubt, pull out.

    Hey bud,

    Yer a truly weird fucker. Thaz life tho. Ever see a movie called PUMP UP THE VOLUME it's got Christian Slater who's really JD from HEATHERS. Point is, "Talk Hard!" This from a guy named Happy Harry (hairy?) Hard-on. Mine's named Frank as that's my middle name and he's my middle leg. Makes sense.

    So I go to school and I fall asleep and the teacher wake me up at the end of class and gently kick me out. I don't have them funky-ass dream sequence shit I though I heard you telling me about in that letter-oid thing you sent He. Becuz of that. Thaz life tho.

    So I wrote this program... it read all of the words in the Slosh and in all the Berlin lyrics and some other shit and now spits them out randomly in an attempt to make poetry-type shit. Thaz life tho.

    Tell Erika that she deserves a better bum than you and that I am that. Thaz life tho. Lie to her some, play her "Somebody" and "If You Want" and "Lie To Me" from Depeche Mode's SOME GREAT REWARD which I know you have the tape of 'cause it's got PEOPLE ARE IGUANAS on it. Thatz life tho. Beat her soundly about the head and clitoris for me, would you? Thaz life tho. Tanx.

    So who needs condoms but for wind socks on you car and bike, right? Thaz life tho. I read the cartoon you sent me about a virtual reality suit and thought, Republicanism. Also I read the newspaper clipping about UCD students going to BYU and the Mustang Ranch and... I thought, not for me. I already got my speeding ticket. Nice CHP ossifer, don't bite. Thaz life tho.

    So anyway I got four computers that don't do shit 'cuz I haven't given them a butthole to do it with and a girlfriend I been going with for close on a year now and (get this) 1,000 watts in my car and a need for a job. I sent my resume off someplace yistiddy. Didn't even know I had one didja care I donno life's fukd. So sometime I und mebbe sum udders we go cum and c u, wot? Onestree I rite butter thun tickels shunfrines.

    Send me yer phone number you twit so's that I can avoid calling you.

    Why fuck around the bush? Poke, Peek, Load!

    Aaron etc etc you read all that

    ("Thaz life tho" was conceived, written, produced and shitt on by...)

    Oddly enough, I have none of: That car, that job, that girl. All are either better, worse, or different. Not necessarily in that order.

    Semantically it resembles thus:

    if isalpha(c) printf("%c",c);

    With some declares and shit. #Define Shit_Brown_Color.

    So anyway, three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn lies, and Statistics.

    Four kinds of homicides: Felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy.

    Five kinds of elephant pantyhose but I won't tell you what they are.

    Okay, so if you think that I am writing this you are wrong. It is just some s--- (shit) in my head. That marginally realistic-type completely-f--- (fuck)ed-over piece of sack of s--- (shit) sluttest trash can dirt bag bitch! over, I can do something interesting even if self-satisfying, boring, stupid and efficacious towards women (whatever that means - efficacious that is! not women though I understand neither I know what the word women represents now, better then ever before.) Even by now nerdly as I am I think I think I know I think what women I think are I think. Eh.

    It's really a quite simple choice: Life, Death, or Los Angeles.

Which is fine because sake does nasty things to Martians and their digestive trax. Also their cardiovascular and respiratory systems but that's women and not their efficaciousness for you. Or Me. So well indeed. No Carl Sagan. Eventually I will learn how to type and spell and also stop using that So. Well. Indeed. Carl Sagan this! Brouhahaha hahahahahaha hahahaha hahahahah and there.

    Now, no fileswitching nor bankswitching, protected mode or not, nor underwear nor PMRC protecting you from things they find offensive can keep me from loving you. Hating Me. Riding in my Emuzoid car. Sorry heat Rubbermaid butt.

    AMAZING BUT TRUE: If all the sand in Northern Africa were spread it out it would completely cover the Sahara Desert.

    Various editings have been made as far as words that individually in theory could offend some people. Ideally of course I would have deleted them (as certain PMRC-type are not interested in being protected from things they find offensive; rather, they are interested in protecting everybody else from things they find offensive.)

    When in doubt, do the right thing.

    Steve points out that these are Variations not by Penthouse but a manic depressive kitchen implement. 'Tis Slosh due to that being what it is.

    Snark spark sprak Vreeom. Spu-DRAMs, frip-trams, shit I'm late. But at least not bleeding but from my thumb not butt.

    If you knew what you were doing you'd probably be bored.

    Nevertheless, in keeping with other marginally more serious journalistic tendencies, I have modified these so as to contain the same meaning; as a matter of fact, you know what the words are, by looking at them, so what the difference is between "f--- [fuck]" which is what I have been using and "fuck" I'll never know. Hmm.

    This is Part (n+1) of q, THE SLOSH

    (Where n is equal to the square root of the reader's shoe size multipied by the cube root of the nearest negative equialent of their I.Q.)

    Or, AF is tired - and Steve is saying Variations of a Manic Depressive (SVD is bloinged again).

    I might add (fuck that - I will add!) that this is now called THE SLOSH as that is what it is. I see you, Ronnie (ha I got yer name right for once it must be imprinted on my cortex or something).

    AHA!

    Don't you feel more like you do now then you did when you came in?

    That is to say, it was over now (which was then) and has actually close to nothing (that is to say, it was actually nothing but has proceeded to be close to nothing via whale feces) to do with the procession thereuntofore to now in which I am still continuing while nevertheless being over - over my head with my heels being healed by the flying chiropodist if you datch by crift. Or is it splatch by crypt? I dunno. Who the aark aark aark aark aark aark aark Come se dice oops?

    Be different: conform.

    Well, you who is reading this (you who? you hoo!) may find a total lack of creativity in its recent additions and wish for a return to its original style. This is the last intelligble thing I will say for a while, in keeping with that philosophical nightmare. No more fish, no more fishwords nor fishwars. Now watch carefully, because for at no time will my carport leave my word-processor. Oopsky poopsky and troopsky - Boys Scouts excreting in Russia? Gawd I have no Leslie.

    Say Melanie, why won't you go out with me. Oh yeah, him and the other. But he's gone and maybe all she wants is to be friends. Oh yeah, what's "JJust friends" anyway. Now I can live without sex that's not really a big deal (orificially or otherwise) but what's with the hugs, the kisses, the meanings of being warm of a cold night? Or hot of a warm one? Or really flaming hot of a hot one? You see? Man needs woman like he needs another hole in his head but more! MoreMoreMore.

    Oh I dream of a world where the TP is brown and the shit is white!

    The other dream I have, my life-would-be complete-when-I-did it sort of thing, is to douse myself in much Jello gelatin and then set fire to it.

    Course it wouldn't burn! What do you think, I want to hurt myself!

    I like work: I can sit and watch it for hours.

    That kid was nothing to get happy about. Anyone can buy knighthood these days. The king's son gets everything. A new horse, the nicest armor, a great big strong lance. What a weenie. So then that dragon came along and got tricked by a virgin into capturing her. Actually I knew that "virgin" and he was tricked twice, because those goods were damaged! But that stupid dragon had to go and get himself killed right in my front yard. So I shot the prince. End of story. Oh yeah, the virgin went on to have a long and successful career as a Molly Ringwald stand-in. Life's funny that way.

Speaking of which, Van Halen is just the time shift of the brain of King Charles the First, who lost his head over the English Civil War, which wasn't very civil at all, because a lot of people died, which is always a major bummer, and that's something that Pres Bush (Busch?) needs to learn, because that might blow the froth off his beer (better than off his boar) an calm him down while he's wasting energy and oil by running that goddammed speedboat of is all over the Atlantic Ocean like the total ultraweenie that he is. Today's word is weenie, my friend. Remember that.

    Too purple, I think

    "Nine and a Half Weeks" will hopefully teach me something that I can take back to Erika so as to create a situation in which... well, never mind, because you are more likely do be doing that sort of thing in an adult and mature fashion much sooner than I am. And if you weren't, I'm not the sort of guy to **** and tell anyway, which is one of the things that so many large mammals find so attractive about my sister, who is not one of the smallest mammals in the world, not being a shrew, though some people say she needs taming. But I wouldn't want to be the guy to do it, even if she wasn't my sister, which she is, although I may have mentioned that before to you, if my brain isn't totally dead, which it may be, and, anyway, i haven't said anything important (nevermore said the emu) and all I'm doing is wasting energy and time, which is making us go to another country and kill lots of Arabs. Even though that makes some of us very happy, namely a young gentleman by the name of Michael P. Warde, a fine Catholic boy whose primary goal in life is to kill as many people who aren't white, Anglo-Saxon, Catholics. WASC!

    The theory of what comes up, must come down applies to penises. Peni? Also entropy... you come closer and closer to being unorganized, actually orgasm, etc. (Similarly Emu-esque I think)

    I hate knights. They just think they're so fucking awesome, you know, although all they really are are rich little daddy's boys with their father's horse and armor. And they think that makes them so Goddammed awesome or something.

    Well it don't.

    I'm sitting on my little mule down at Sumaria Grilled Dragon and up rides one of them there knights in shinning armor, just like out of a book, and, sure enough, he's got one of them there virgins sitting in front of him, though, by the way he was pawing at her filmy white dress I figured she wouldn't stay dragon bait for long, if you know what I mean, and I'm sure you do.

    So anyway, I'm minding my own business, you know, just kicking back, sucking on a muckshake (with real swamp muck, no less) and he walks over to me. Like killing some poor dragon ain't enough. Now he's got to pick on the little peasant.

    Well, I ain't having none of it, so I stand up and say "Yo, homeboy, chill way out, ya know." And he just laughs at me.

    Shit. Thaz life tho. Which is to say Chris is a knorklebutt. (This is definitely me again not him)

    If God had intended for Man to walk, He would have given him Feet.

    Another Chris, this one a Bla-Ack-Squid (Well, ya know) has this to say about something else again:

    GLOBGUTS: I am to be a fornication! Squick, bleed over my pants and frog lips to dine upon my sisters fun horny eels. Spider pants crawl over my eggs.

    Which is whatever. I should FAX this beastie to SixAM as that would disturb great quantities of people to no end but we knew that didn't we.

    Okay. No fair. Not anymore. Wait for the Grape Festival. Now you don't know about that but it's from an eariler time when I wrote about stuff I liked as opposed to now when I just write stuff (I didn't even say bollpucky but a more tasteful thingie - but what the fuck, have some luck, take the pluck, plunge doesn't rhyme here.)

    So like, I was following the Ho Chi Minh trail, kind of like the Yellow- Brick Road except Mr. Fred Rogers was not to be found. It was post-WW 3, all fifteen minutes of it. Here, an SLBM from Russia with nukes. Ah, but we can out-MIRV the commies and hey! wow! we're all blown to bits, (viz, oral sex!) except me since I was in pieces anyway the nuke sort of reassembled me. I seem to have a few more legs than normal (try seventeen) but hey! I'm not a mutant, really I'm not!

    And this dude (who incidentally didn't look like a lady sorry Aerosmith not to be confused with Run-DMC for obvious reasons walk some other way - away from me) comes up to me and says Buy a watch bud? And I said no I'm not from Oregon but all I wanted was a Pepsi and she wouldn't throw it at me!

    And this yellow submarine came up and stopped next to me on the road. So I extended my electronic positronic bioflonic quamblepeefic THUMB and they gave my a hitch-ride. Wow man, all my friends had survived the WW3 poofz, they were all there except for the ones next door (sorry you-know-who-you- are's I guess- it makes slightly more sense which is an Ideal I am trying to Achieve. Obviously I don't know Ideals from Worm Feces but oh well back to the main lack-of-story-line)

More caffeinated thingies than I had ever seen including the famous mid-year post-final pseudointoxication which a few of you may remember with varying levels of clarity.

And it wasn't even not-Wednesday. Rutabaga! What fun. And this Orange Scirocco came up, fast, slick, and rockin the Pistols. Gawd I loved it, especially when I thought I could write decent thingies unlike nowisms. Well, they can be good but still, two Punch and Judy yours!

    I'm prepared for all emergencies but totally unprepared for everyday life.

    So anyway we were riding along on this Scirocco on this Submarine on the Ho Chi Minh Trail on our way to see the Wizard Harley Davidson Greenwood. We represent the William Morris Agency. Damn this is getting weird but I ran out of ideaz IDEAL!!!!! NOT ACHIEVED!!!!!! AAAAGH!!!!! I am upset at myself for not achieving an ideal, a goal I had set, the thought that this most long-winded of hitchhikes, could actually (literally and in the lack-of- story line) get someplace. It must be Someplace, it's just that I don't know Where.

I eat the fruit that bears the tree and gargle in my fetid fish. The bones that catch and the fly's that don't zip. What a concept. Who wants a button there? Certainly not a vampire. That wouldn't be proper now, would it. I, I have been and I am and I will because of the darkness of the oriental matresses. Tako, that's octopus.

    When we last left Lash Hotflash, our famed superhero was blasting through the galaxy leaping from planet to planet on his quest for the ultimate bladder. Upon reaching planet Gall of the Gonad Cluster, Lash downed a Megabeer and proceeded to Prissy's liver. (more to come)

    ...Lash Hotflash gave a flush and athletically hurled the galactic septicbomb. Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Lash's beautiful, but dangerous sidekick, Heir Heddi, prepared for yet another facial rinse (not to be confused with fecal rinse.) She wondered how she had become mixed up with such a lavish super-galactic space warrior. After all, she had always considered Lash's present bladder quite adequate.

    Heir Heddi wiped the moist tinse from he Nunn-like face (not to be confused with Nun-like) and stared inquisitively at the large wall mirror. It stared back. She stared harder. It stared harder. Finally she gave and said, "Hell with it," and prepared from another facial rinse; never fogetting her passion for Lash and personal hygiene.

    "Dr Emu's Guide To... and the Art of Making Microwave Food"

    A trilobyte in two faeces, a parody of truth itself, by one each illustrious ostrichoid wannabe. Foma all, ifn you ask him, but no-one does and no-one certainly reads Vonnegut 'round here. Except Fletcheroo and Wen. Chapters are equatatble to Foma (inasmuch as they are the same) even without the Vonnegutisms. But it's so poetic and meaningful and whatnot.

    PRELIMINARY COPY. NOT FOR RESALE.
    OR USE AT ALL FOR THAT MATTER.

    LET THE NONSENSE... BEGIN!

    The sun rose. Not that this was, in and of itself, unusual. In fact, it was terribly regular, and altogether too boring.

    "Sunrises are known not to be even remotely interesting. If we could find a way, we'd get rid of the damn things. Thus far they see, to be inevitable. Perhaps someday science will be of some help; until then, philosophy must pinch-hit. That is to say, a sunrise is to life as phlegm is to chocolate mousse. It does not imrpove the flavor."
    -- Foma 12 (Emu's Guide To... and some other shit.)

    However, this particular sunrise is in fact at least midly interesting because it opens a day in which, well, we'll see aboutt that. Suffice to say that is at least mildly interesting.

    It must also be noted that without sunrises there would be no sunsets, obviating the need for Mark Knopfler, firebreathing pizza dragons, Boeing/Boing 747's and kissing beautiful women-peoples. Just say, "Wen'!" Urk.

    The sun rose. Not that this was, in and of itself, unusual. What was unusual was that, on this morning, our marginal heroid Emu woke up. Or rather, that he awoke with the feeling that suddenly, inexorably, it was all going to be all right and the dolphins could go home now. Exactly why he thought this, especially the bit about the dolphins, is rather unclear.

    He woke up that morning, remarkably, for it was the first day in may moons that he had successfully and painlessly been up before noon, making it morning without mourning. He was up without the thereunto-regulatory brainsplitting headache, that feeling of being run over by a bulldozer with a major highway on top of it. No staggering about?

    No, "Gee, why's the floor moving so fast?" or "What fool put a carpet on the wall?" or "Door. Doors are to walk through. (Thud) No, through. Not into. I suppose opening the door first, as in Infocoms, would help. (Crash) Fall through. Preferably walk through, but in a pinch, fall through. Ouch!" Perhaps this really was his lucky day.

    So our marginally heroid (well, how about protagonist - grammar teachers like it better and it's shorter!) left his house with ease and was able to traverse the roadways to his destination with similar facility, due to his suddent and inconmprehensible clear-mindedness. Unfortuneatly for whatever antagonist I invent when the time is ripe and falls off the tree (time grows on trees didn't you know) he was stricken with a similar case of bloody- mindedness and therefore traversed to his destination (where else would he go now?) without deviation in thought or in Action. Dreams into comma. And eventually he will have arrived there, freeping as described in the Next Paragraph, with the love of his life at his side, muttering into his shoulder. This is known as Good, for he has said this before, that This Is Good and that It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This.

    In the meantime they listened to music, a sort of cathartic (and his preferred listening levels, butt-shaking) self-pompous pride. But it's a good idea, it keeps your head from getting fat from thinking and makes you rap when no-one is looking. Or at least humming Beethoven's Fifth.

    I drum to the beat of a different rabbit and He is Leslie Nielsen.

    Beer commericals with breasts from hell - I knew a girl (but you'd be happy to know blarghly that I didn't forklift Kate.) Sna.

    Bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah, I wanna be fellated.

    Bah bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah bah, I think I just been Kated.

    Steve wants to say this before I said that. Fuck, what?

    Why do rabbits have breasts almost as large as beer bottles? Why ask yeast infections? Drink Butt Wet!

    As per the Great Kat goddess etc etc. The strength to believe in oneself cannot come from outside; it has be generated within. It's a bit tricky, this Catch-22 situation; for the only way to get that strength is to have it to begin with. Still it takes but a glimmer of selfesteem, of ego, of saying FUCK IT ALL, I AM ME AND THAT'S IT DICKWEED to make this perpetual machine of life move. And that is the point at which you're ok. Now occasionally one loses sight of the "real truth" (that more bullshit than bullshit ever be) and more importantly lose that will to be yourself and start trying to be something you aren't, or let people push you around or turn you into a fish or whatever.

    But I said that

    And so on those occasions you have to remember to set the spark of selfbelief aflame, to say I AM SOMEONE. Do it! Take the jump for after you do you will remember how easy it is to believe in oneself when one does. See? I told you not to listen to me. I'm full of shit -- true shit, granted, but shit nevertheless.

    That over with, we examine now some of the relevant aspects of the amazingly mysterious yet terribly boring dichotomy between colorless digital RGBI amd TTL-level monochromatic cathode ray-tube controllers.

    That over with, we discover there is a difference. Some dichotomy... there is a video signal, composite sorta anyway, on the monochromaticism thing. Eh. But they both use vertical and horizontal synchronization signals and so on. Polarities!!

    That off my chest we discuss monosymptomatic cat-oid reigh troop comptrollers...

    That over with, we now examine my head to see if there is anything in it. That over with, we now examine how it is. Can run. Do run. Hershey squirts. Budweiser? The precise relevance of this passage is arguable, but it was included so as to make people think that this really is a religious document, which is to say it talks to God when it climaxes... what'dya think, I get this stuff off circus posters or cereal boxes... actually I write it but canna talk about that now can we?

    That over with, we now examine some of the primary similarities of use of sunglasses during pregnancy and the rising dearth trade. In dolphins. Really!!

    That over with

    Greetings from The Quam!

    Page 33:

    Lash finished off the last of his Bungleburger and hopped back into his landflipper. He realized that Heddi was gone now, but it was by choice. His choice. Had he given up his quest, the beautiful Heir Heddi would still be at his side. But then what? No hope. No dream. Lash started the engine and flipped away, continuing his galactic search for the ultimate bladder.

    Page 46:

    Although it seemed a trite silly, Billy-Bob Splurgeon ate the whole thing. His stomach was full, but his pride was empty. He ran out of the bar. Lash followed.

    "Hey, just a minute there," Lash said impatiently. "I didn't get your name."

    "Whaddya you want? An encore?", replied the troll.

    "No. You seem to ingest some strange delicacies. I was hoping you could help me. You see, I'm looking for a bladder."

    "Bladders are a hyperdime a dozen. I think you need a gastricist, not a troll."

    "But I'm not looking for just ANY bladder," Lash explained. "I'm looking for THE bladder. The largest, most disgusting bladder in the Universe!"

    "The name's Billy-Bob. Come with me."

    Page 78:

    Lash battled the hungry Slomslut as Simon sat and watched. By the time it was over, Lash had overpowered the dentist, rearranging her mandibulic bridge.

    "Where did you learn to fight like that?", asked Simon, out of more breath than his mentor.

    "Tao Signus Five," replied Lash. "The Three-Nosed Swamp Yeti."

    Simon, convinced that the dental Slomslut was indeed incapacitated, removed the brass key from the leather teddy. Following Simon out the door, Lash Hotflash, galactic Super-Hero, stared at the key in Simon's hand--wondering if he would ever see Heir Heddi again.

    Next Issue: "If it's not too big, Simon, it's definitely too dangerous."

    In fact selfassurance is brought through selfanger. There are two way to change any situation. The first is to change the situation; the second to change the way you want thr situation to be. And it is at that point that one must make a decision, for one of these methods may be terribly painful, or neither of them may work.

    Ping snot. Samantha Fux but who as opposed to buttfux. More than one.

    I'm thinking of something orange, something orange... can't guess what it is? It's a purple.

    One can blame other people for the way things are, but 'tis nto a method bent on solution. Anger at others breeds contempt, dissent and Cracker Jacks. Anger at the self, for your innate inability to deal with the situation as it is and resorting to counterproductive anger, properly channeled into positive action (or positive-lock brakes - breaks?) and destructive things like genocide of cherubs is the answer. SMT38.

    In Fig. 18-26, the rectangular wave out of the relaxation oscillator drives the integrator, which produces a triangular output waveform. Similarly, the square wave of Fig 22-6b has half-wave symmetry because the inverted negative cycle exactly duplicates the positive half cycle; this means that a sqaure wave contains only odd harmonics. This keeps the gas and vapor slightly ionized to permit easier arc-over during pulse transmission, and it also protects the receiver crystal. The usual cause of erratic oscillation, or no oscillation at all, is excessive loading on the oscillator output by the succeeding stage of the circuit, insufficient feedback or a sluggish crystal. So far, everything seems fairly simple. The complications arise when more sophisticated data encoding schemes are used. The point is that a waveform with amplitude distortion contains a fundamental and harmonics; the strength of the higher harmonics is a clue to how bad the distortion is.

    So I'm sitting on the beach, minding my own eucalyptus tree, when the Battlestar Galactica Council of Twelve starts to pelt me with green snowballs. I screamed hideously at them, as to confuse them. About this time, a well renowned author (well-endowed author?) and mother of three asked me for directions to the nearest baseball field. "I'm sorry," I told her. "I haven't the faintest iodea where your husband is." The Council of Twelve soon became the Council of Eleven as one was murdered by a passing freight train. [Thomas Dolby.] Not to mention the expense of Molly's wedding. So there I was, on the beach.

    And the ascetic monk-heads have fun, and it all works out in the wash.

    Viz, you wash your wallet. ATM cards die. So do credit cards (actually, old credit cards never die they just exceed their limit) Ones and Fives stick to things, kinda like any female family member's undergarments hide in the drier and then cling to yours and nobody notices until you're tryin to impress some young nubile and discover exactly WHAT you have sticking out of your shorts! Tens and bigger bills typically disintegrate to fuck up the economy, more so than the small change becuz unlike the small change they're worth something. Change itself (nickels and quarters and shit like that) just falls out into the washer mechanism and shorts out and starts fires. Combination washer/drier/frier/fire, friar?

    Wretched, isn't it? this sense of humor and interrupting anything approaching a storyline (did you notice the disorder fo the chapters and foma mirrors that of my own life? Poetic and shit intit.)

    Speaking of change, specifically the monetary variety and not the liquid variety of which I and ewes are not like Elmer Cogen (wow! so much like the Slosh you'd thnik it was or something 'cuz one it wasn't it was EOTUAWKI or EGT or something eso) speaking of change, change is something that I appear hellbent on. Keyword here is. Complancency upsets me, distrubs me, disrupts my life and I seem to take rapid and irrational action activities to avoid stability and predictability. This was not written on this not-green piece of paper of Steve's. It also says something about the shaming of the true, the screwing of the tame, and other Shakey's Peerisms which are not Pizzas, are not what will be discussed later which is the distancing of the close.

    I have this theory (which is to say... here hold these... Did you see that...) that one of the Sloshclan will get a locker on campus and those SJDC inhabitants who see fit to join us can just leave us addons there if they don't have a modem or the BBS never gets up. Ideas / contributions / suggestions / whatever?

    Lyrics, dude, recite her some lyrics. Suffice it to say that there are many levels of human friendship, too many for this chronicler to comprehend. But he isn't complaining, oh no. In fact, I think I like Sebastian a whole lot, dents or otherwise. Dent / dents / dense / tense / tents. Round objects and object recognition. As opposed to objectivity which I've neer had. Im biased: .6V applied across the collector and the base and bass and fish and apologize to somebody's mother second. Sha! I am happy and I LET GO. She likes the night life, baby.

    Someday I will understand this, in the meantime, philosophy will have to pinch-hit. And phlegm will reign as the sole sociological successor to our disturbed grape blender. Well, Okay, It Is Slosh And I Am Using Capital Letters Again, like Mount Evertest. Poetry and shit intit.

    Shit like this doesn't just Sort Of Happen, despite what hard drives make Steve say. Why ask maybe. Sex is. Sna, toing. Sna, toing. Sna, fuck that. NO MORE TOING you're telling me that I'm screaming at somebody else's girl and she would cry but for the fact she wasn't. Potatoes.

    LET THE NONSENSE... CONTINUE!

    So our protagonist has changed cars and now drives a VW Squareback with fubar'd EFI. Ground defects I'd say. Please do not ask where he lived (so as to get where he was going with a car that wouldn't go) as will become more and more weird momentarily. But he went back to his riceburner with the kilowatt earburner of a soundsys. But whazzitU anyway?

    Upshot of all this being that he split for warmer climes. Not warmer limes, warmer climes!

    Shut up Wilbur and load the futon torpedoes. Yes!! small Oriental bedweapons, unlike small Oriental bedwetters.

    As Nike and my T-shirt say, LET'S DO IT. Proverbially and figuratively speaking, for, though I appreciate your eyes moving over this, dear reader, as there are a great few of you (readers and not necessarily eyes) you could very easily be not my type, or indeed even gender or species. Plus, I'm taken. Quite taken with the girl.

    This shti it pretty werid, I no, but tha's cuz life it too. Eh.

    And so the story continues. In what way I am unsure, for I am not always comfortable with this Slosh-oid style of writing. I am uncomfortable with much in my life then, and I said I felt that it isn't as it should have been. Couldn't claim to know how it should be, merely that this isn't it.

    As always in my long discussions with myself (which I often install into computers -- mine and other people's -- so as to retrieve these thoughts later and gneerally destroy minds with them) as always I must explain my seemingly rap-oid streams of profanity. I like 'em.

    Scizburgers. Skitzborghers. Shit for trousers. I could easily hate myself for thinking the things that I do but then I suppose that's why we think these things - if anyone else did we'd be obligated to kill them. Indeed it's good that we don't else we'd all be dead since everybody seems like a bug now and again. Okay, eh, get off the case of what a poor turd you are (self-pity? pelf-shitty? shelf-twitty?) since you can't deal with women. Learn! (Shyore, right!) Shelf-titties, best kind. Fit shelfbras. Medieval fashions. Sha.

    Either that or beat them regularly and avoid the whole freaking out and wanting to become a monk syndrome. Neat idea.

    I hate when the power goes off and all my good idea are lost and it's a pisser - great ideas along with bad flow like feces into the great cosmic toilet of the computer's Write Only Memory Block, or WOMB> Glass plate in your stomach, womb with a view.

    Grease that... oh sorry, wrong document. ^K^Q anybody?

    Quote from the Dark One is a good name. Face it! Give into your fantasies. Better yet, give in to mine!

    That idiotic smile, that fun of being, that feeling of all is right and so on, is brought on not by the actuialy doing of the fun thing(s), ejoyable and tactile and good-tasting though they may be, but by the promise that they will be done. I know this.

    Whupsan a whupsan, jan jan jammerin, yabba yabba ding ding. Delta hey max 9. We will be fine. Apollo 9. Even though NASA say, way out of line.

    Driving, f'rinstance. There is no way in hell I could survive doing these things whilst driving. I would die a happy man, yes, but I would die. And I am opposed to that as I am a young man, old and dessicated thought I may feel, there are a few things I have not yet felt (notably, Japanese sea breeze on my face and NOTHING anatomical like which is surely -- Shirley! -- what you were thinking.)

    So instead of dying I drove. Snuck a few now and again at stoplights and such, but by far, not the seriously intense bussing, come up for air every five minutes bit. Probably just as well... after those brownies I suspect both of respective breaths would have been a bit off. But hey, I loved her, and she seemed to love me, for whatever reasons, so who's to complain? Fuck em with a chainsaw.

    And that is it, I discovered. Rather than messing about with the removal of clothing or the drumming upon of extremities, more fun and less morning guilt is to be had from the promise (definite promise!) of what is yet to come, becuz you is being restrained from it now.

    Worm feces

    What a concept, driving as a contraceptive. More cars on the road -> more accidents and smog -> more dead people (and less sex) -> population drop. More cars -> more Japanese people with money -> less of America American-owned. Less sex -> more productive people -> must be doing something.

    Therefore America is okay. Not that I believe any of that paranoid

    'Tis a probable tingn that all teenagers think their parents spazz too much, that they are conservative maniacs, that they are insane overprotective squidheads. Not so. They aren't kidding when they say they care.

    I used to feel that way about my parents too. I often do now. And then one day I says to myself, "Self, what am I thinking?" What I thought was that my parents had changed, that they were cool and left me do what I wanted to and so on. And then I noticed that they were the same people as before only they trusted me. So I never told them about the time I was arrested.

    You can lie and cheat and bypass yer folx all the time (and I still do, have to in my view) but 1. They is still family and 2. If yer straight with them it'll work out. It did for me - they stopped bitching about school when I actually did something about it (and graudated!) and have stopped bitching about my life and room and car now that I have done some things about them too. Aargh always more to do though.

    In fact once you get beyond the triviality and shortsightedness of being a turdhead chile-person (not Chilly, that's Honey-chile like rhymes with aisle) an go on to be a suave sophisticated adult person like me... har har. I know. What soapbox he asks innocently.

    Okay so it's whatever but it can be true.Be straight with them - don't tell them to trust you and then lie and cheat and go behind their back... act straight and expect the mto trust you (eventually they will - they must!) and then cheat and so on and don't get caught... which is easier to do when you're trusted. As a matter of fact, it has to work out 'cuz it's okay once yer okay. Have I said this before?

Topless dancers (they have no top, their bodies start at the waist and go down which could be interesting and I don't know about wasting but hey!) alright Christine FINE be like that. I just had them lengthened they go all the way down now. BUCKLEYITIS!

    I am an optimist. From where it is, music is mostly all right, or at least in a healthy state for the future, in spite of the fact that it may sound as though it is being held hostage.

    You know they wanted me to be on the Academic Decathlon this year. Actually I may go due to donuts. Possibly also due to unclothed women. But more likely donuts. Actually I didn't even tho' I should've. Oh that Christine would A. Be rude to me

    B. Be fun to be around and not like a dead cold and very fishy..... fish.

    C. Sexually fun and **** my brains out and not sleep with nonMormons.

    eh

    To do ten intelligent things not my ting. To do do do Da da da da is all I want to say to you you're living in your own private Idaho get out! get out of the state you're in! and then there's something about potatoes - figger it out yerself. On the ground like a wild potato. Gee wild Idaho. Leads you straight right through the gate that opens on the BLUE. The bottom of the bottomless BLUE.

    Let's not even consider that the Spud Boys themselves, searching for a REAL potato are supposedly Idahoans themselves! Wow, hey. What what.

    So, this is not really, well, I don't exactly know what. It started off with an extended bunch of nonsense posted on a wall in my sophmore English class. That's at the beginning, mostly. And then I added to it. And then I put in bits of stuff. Then I added some more. Then I showed it to Steve who wrote some more. Largely, the content runs to nonsense, with a little sheer weirdness, tiny quantities of political humor and innumerable badjokes (but the occasional funny one.) Also other people's stuff, snatches of songs I listen to and...

    Sna freep, freep sna. What's new. I show you an extrema you NEVER forget. Life's like that - sign some cards, pick yer nose, get yelled at. So hey, we talk, we be, we write. Often we have sex.

    marshmallows

    long-winded truly meaningless speeches by the author. Me. It is a reflection of me, my thinking and typing styles, my habit of sitting in front of the keyboard and going on and on and on and on and... not really finishing sentences or ideas but still keeping in with that Fish. Oh yes lots of repetitionisms of strange phrases, generally not worth the time & trouble to read. Occasionally, it can turn to a more interesting and marginally meaningful punto de vista, if you will, but it does this so rarely that I have to give a thumbs sideways. Goodnight.

    [Now we will ignore my self-ingratiating generally long-faced and saddening poor- downtrodden- AF- isn't- life- the- shits- for- him speech and examine the fact that he has added onto the end of the 42- times- already- ended- thingy and is generally ignoring the premise of 12.3.79;5/37/88 and not keeping with that fish and... but he's not anymore he took it out eh. So don't worry about it. Without reason anyway. This mightn't be all that bad. If it gets stupid I'll start singing Spinal Tap songs. Big bottom - talk about bun cakes my girl's got em - big bottom - how could I leave this behind. I think I will shut up now.]

Who it is I'm not sure but I must know some dumbheads. Oh I know. That Emu fellow - he's sorta odd ain't he? Wears Cadet Zippo shades and the whole thing. Must be him. Put a burning cross on his lawn. Anyway, Emu Twit-Wit Petwurt Pervert weirdisms.]

    [You might also notice that long-winded bombasticity malapropisms inherent in Twit-Wit these slight interruptions which occur when I cannot think of anything to write so I switch and think for awhile while not actually thinking about what I am typing and just saying things and writing in my head what I am about to do in - hey! Pump you up!]

    And now for something compltely similar: Twit-wit. Now you may think that I am strange. This is true. Now you may think that I drink a lot of Coke. This is true. You may think that I don't really know what the fuck is going on. This is true. You may think that I am getting bored again (this is true) but you know what that means... AF will write again.

    A man in a grey suit whispers, "I'm calling"; pack up and drive away.

    I wear my heart upon my sleeve

    We live in an ever-changing world. One of Televideos and Wysi; of meatburgers and televisions; of sex and violins. Whatever.

    So like, if my feet are wider than your feet and your feet are wider than my feet, how many feet does Mr. D-------- have? Or how much feces does the average blue whale donate to his favorite charity in one Venusian year? This is highly indicative of roughly nothing at all. If your name is Christine, are you really that weird? AAAAAAAAAAAGGH! If you have a snee, and I have a snee, do we have to sneeze? Hoo boy, what fun are puns.

    Pee nuts. Free butts. Good sex and damn! she is sexy and I love her. Which is but is not what I said before. Just a little snack on the side... DEATH MUST ENSUE!

    And what logarithms are poems. What? AF are you feeling okay? AF? Yoohoo are you there Mr. Parrot (he's resting) wap wap wap (he's stunned) he's dead (wrestling) shuffled off this mortal coil (forum) gone to meet his maker (playboy) passed away (fred) dead (nurse!)

    You know, this fuckin thing is long.

    HMMMMMMmmmmMMmmmMmmmmMmMMmMmmMMmmMMmMmMMMmmMfmmM.

    It's over now. Which was to say then and not now due to frog noses - Hey wow, Mr. D ------, con quien te acuestas? Okay but that wasn't supposed to make sense. Where do I go from here to a better state than this? Well, don't be blind to the big surprise swimming round and round like the deadly hands of the radium clock at the bottom of the blue. Look, it's not my fault if that didn't either (make sense) cause that's what the guy said, I think. Anyway it's a great song, go out and buy it. But remember that that mini-LP has a remixed front-side from album 2 but rerecorded back-side from album 1. They calim they were only remixed - I think they are out-takes or shortened versions or something.... Mesopotamia! Get out of that state you're living in your own PRIVATE IDAHO! And now for something completely nonUkranian. But Chris Blackwell produced their records so this must mean something ' = REM.

    It's worked so far, but we're not out yet.

    What is about blondes that irritate me so? The only way to be wanted (at least a little) is to be rude (not too rude) to drive them away so they want it... but don't if you try to get them to admit it. I thought it was just that Catholics teach good girls to tease without giving... but Southern Baptists too? JTB!

    DEEP THOUGHTS.

    To write, is to find your own pen, through the ink of the person sitting next to you, but when the person leaves to go to the john, then you've lost your pen. It is said I have a pen, but my pen has no ink. Hence my long hours of Hallmark haunting, trying to find some ink and turn my pen into a sumpremer [yo!] writing utensil. But there was my pencil sitting in my desk, and it sank into my paper, at last bringing weird drawings to life. Oh ye pens who have made me crazed and rather loony, from pencils and paper, eternal doodles.

    Respectfully submitted,

    W. Enright

    Weird doodler at large.

    Follwing this most (well, something good anyway) prose is a picture of a round stick figure (if such can be imagined) which I cannot possibly reproduce on paper (with a computer anyway). Somehow I will, but, my apologies, Miss W.E., your most illustrious of illustrations shall have to wait for me to figure out what to do. In time!

    Thankyoo Miss Enright. Really. That might make a bright awakening intro to this otherwise dark, gloomy and generally downbeat piece of sodden negetivism. On that note I will further explicate.

    Trick is, to have a car you gotta have a job; and to have a job you gotta have a car. CATCH FUCKIN 22! And you gotta shave yer fuckin beard. Miss W.E. donno whattiz like to lose so much facial hair (I hope not anyway. Dammit, I'm fairly sure. And don't call me surely/Shirley!) So anyway, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    Aagh.

    Why scribble when you can just... type? Justypit. EmuComp. Whaevah.

Weddings sure as hell aren't. Watch her bleed to death. You've just killed the bitch with the bitchfork. Doesn't it feel good?

Jay Leno is on Channel 3 with some boring lady who buys stupid stuff on Hollywood Boulevard. Channel 4 - same show, but someone singing. 5: "She was running so smooth... I blew a gasket."

Arsenio is on Channel 10; Tia Carrere is the guest. Everybody was Kung-Fu fighting... She's married. 11 is fuzzy. 12 looks like some weird scrambled cable channel. Channel 13 hosts Nightline again.

Channel 64 is selling necklaces for 10 bucks, hosted by Ex-Radio Spark salesquids. By now, M*A*S*H is on Channel 2.

    And now for a thousand-word short story on essays. Or is an essay on short stories? Or a short story writen by a drugged maniac? Who knows, who cares, here it is:

    SPOOR HEROES!

    Somewhere in this galaxy lies a small green binary star system. It is disregarded by most as being uninhabited, but this is in fact not the case. The occupants (who are all lizards and are named Raymond) go around for most the day saying "Neeble." This has nothing to do with the story.

    Elsewhere in this galaxy lies another small sun, this one trinary and very purple. Its inhabitants are known to exist, primarily because of their foremost characteristic. This is, of course, the fact that they attempt to sell Swedish throwing rugs (not throw rugs, throwing rugs) to any civilizations that they meet. If the civilization is not yet advanced enough to desire Swedish throwing rugs, they make it desire Swedish throwing rugs as fast as is Blartveldly possible (incidentally, they are called Blartvelds.) This also has nothing to do with the story.

    The story so far: Smark, ceratitis capitata, and Aglyft, vulpes hoopis, are making their usual rounds of the galaxy in their spaceship (it is called the Qurg Byrg, which is not strictly relevant, but quite interesting because - never mind, that is its name and we can talk about why it's interesting later) when they notice evidence of a severe Twinkie infestation on a nearby planet. They fly in to investigate. (We now pause for station idenitification. This is your Spoor Heroes cartoon network.)

    I see you, Ronnie (ha I got yer name right for once it must be imprinted on my cortex or something).

    The Blartvelds were sitting at their dinner tables one evening, comfortably imbibing their favorite slime, when huge numbers of Twinkies fell from the sky, brandishing weapons and screaming, "We come in war. Take us to your Hostess!" This of course caused great consternation among the now-invaded Blartvelds. Would their world be overrun by small creamy disgusting junk foods? Will they ever eat healthily again? Find out in the next episode of...

    THE SPOOR HEROES!!

    SPOOR HEROES will return in a moment... We apologize for the interruption - we are experiencing technical difficulties. Beeeeeeeeeeeeep!

    [Commercial break / station I.D.: You are watching WYRD Tau Ceti-Orion]

    Soon Smark, Aglyft and all of their multitude of friends landed on the planet in an attempt to rid it of its Twinkie problem. Spreading out across the landscape, Smark and his intrepid band of mercenaries ordered the Twinkies to surrender immediately if not sooner or suffer Smark's speciality: Twinkiesquishing! The offending terrorist cakes informed their attackers that they had taken Blartveld hostages and would kill them if any of the Qurg Byrg dudes tried to mess with them.

    But Smark, always the wise bug, was able to materialize himself, Aglyft, and Dreamu, their avian sidekick, inside the compound where the hostages were held. After a battle that would put Rambo and Chuck Norris to shame, they saved the day (only to be stuck with the chore of wiping squished Twinkies off the walls for hours!)

    Back on the Qurg Byrg, our heroes, all from different planets, were having talking in their common language, Zimfrandsky. They wished to have a vacation, but could not decide upon the place.

    "Wartleporp. Vark vark aardew. Ug doo beqwao. Retslemfga!"
    "Narkle - woisn pwufh t wjwyrere ueydghg dhcp e udhsya: epw. 9846!"
    "Jeo gaep e mebgtra ensje. Tagv eheh reoeopa / eihfdrol. SYS64802!!"

    SPOOR HEROES will return in a moment... We now return you ta rga that was not scheduled and is just beginning; welcome to INTRODUCTORY GYNECOLOGICAL EXPLORATION with Dr Emu

    [Commercial break / station I.D.]

    Hey kids - try new Megabytes cereal: crunchy little computer chips and flavored magnetic tape shaped like binary numbers!

    In case you, our listeners / watchers / readers (depending on organization of sensory organs), do not understand Zimfrandsky, here is a translation:

    "I think that Jolt is a good neoCoke. I also think we should visit Beqwao [star #TY2354]. Whatdya hear, whadya say, rat phlegm head?"

    "No - it wasn't there the last time: remember it moves occasionally. I say we go to #9846!"

    "Oh come on now you ensje [an ancient word specifyig the interchangeability of your head and the "out" end of your digestive tract.] Let's head to Rio / and have massive fun there [a quote from a nonexistent poem.] Try #64802!!"

    In the end they decided on another choice: Earth. In fact, they had never heard of the place but when they requested the computer for the "weirdest place in the universe", it responded (after some deep thought), "EARTH." They figured, hey, why not, if it doesn't have Swedish throwing rugs, so what, it may have iguanas that say "Neeble" to confuse the zooologists.

    In fact, Earth was inhabited by iguanas, but more interesting to the Qurg Byrg folks were the following facts:

    These facts caused Smark and his menagerie of buddies such paranoi[m]a that they rapidly set about to change the systems there. What they did at first was attempt to help a rebel faction, the dolphins to take over the Earthly humanoids. Unfortunately, this did not work,as the dolphins kept on leaving fishbowls with weird people everywhere, which the mercenaries thought bad public relations and thus never got anywhere. All of this too has nothing to do with the story.

    SPOOR HEROES will return in a moment... You are watching WYRD Tau Ceti - Cygnus Minor

    [Commercial break / station I.D.]

    In fact, the story I was planning on writing dealt with this weird Martian kid. He sits around, listening to his mother (yes kids have moms on Mars) yelling at him to clean his room, while he must type and type and type slaving away over a hot keyboard, writing a short story for English. He cannot mention the Jartravids, yellow submarines or even orange Sciroccos, so he is left to sit around counting words and hoping he hits 1,000 without xctually having to think about what he was writing....

    Smark and company found that although Earth was not actually a terrible place to visit, they wouldn't actually want to live there, and they took off to save another world from the horrors of Twinkies invading innocent worlds everywhere...

    I apologize for the face (fact? face? about fact? about face? mace? mact? AArkAArkAArk!) (I suppose anyway) that you have had to read it and I hope you have suddenly realized that I rarely shut up and this could go on forever or longer so your best bet is to keep reading it. Ha ha ha ha ha Finnegan! Bally heyho so I assure you: Whatever any of that was supposed to mean. Some of it is just outpourings (outporings? outborings? outhouses?) of emotion on my part. I feel very strongly about many things and so you see them often. Other things I am apathetic about and they pop up too.

    As a matter of fact, a great very many things are discussed in some great depth in this document. Some great depth I am not sure which great depth. The Marianas Trench? Counselor Cleavage as we seem to call Deanna Troi aka Marina Sirtis. Ahaha that is the Marina trench. Eekleberries. The Trinh Luu Tribune? The small nude women tribute to.....

    (A great many Very things)

    Basically though I just hate letting the thing remain constant for any great length of time, to irritate people who say My version is a week old in't that current and I say No it itn't currant. Wha sna sha. Whoop snorp.

    Food, water and SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX

    [This is Chris again, Mr. College, Mr. Wow, Mr. I spend nine thousand dollars a year to be abused. Sound good? Sound familiar?]

    Anyway, here I am, just trying to be me. I gotta be me. I gotta be me. Time to watch Sean Connery. Let's take poor Cindy down a couple of notches.

    Fuck 'em all, let God sort them out.

    Remember, don't fuck the woman you love. Make mad passionate love to her instead. Unless, of course, you don't want to, in which case you shouldn't.

    We're old and we're getting older. Twenty years of our lives and what do we get? Nothing. We're still us. We still don't get to fuck the women we really want to fuck. I still think Miss Beck (Mrs. Craig?) (I'm going to be nauseous) made a very bad mistake. Oh well. I'll just have to find another rich chick with mental problems to fuck and drop, just as a way of releaving my tensions and cares.

    My problem is, I love too many people. Or maybe I just want in the pants of too many people. I'm not sure I know exactly what love is, but I'll probably find out before I die.

    Sorry, this isn't too terribly Sloshy. I'm just musing.

    Fletch out, Capitan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am afraid that that is a detriment, for this continual jumping from one subject to another (much less one author to another but that's why we ask for reader additions!) with total abandon for the minds of the readers is downright rude to them. But it's the way I think, bouncing back and forth until I am satisfied that there is nothing left to discuss - when there is more, I return back someplace and reexamine things; when I am done, well-

    And so, Bastian, Doc, SS, Sabrewind, Spike, Medik, Maniacal Mustang Man, The dieter, John of the Philadelpia RHPS, soitan Slutty Slitchi - and many others went on to have many wonderful adventures. But then again, that's another story...

    Music segue

    And in the end
    The love you take
    Is equal to
    The love you make
    Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
    But she doesn't have a lot to say
    Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
    But she changes from day to day
    I wanna tell her that I love her a lot
    But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
    Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl
    Someday I'm gonna make her mine
    Someday I'm gonna make her mine

    Dr Emu and a great many others (if not many great others) such

    Perhaps I need to (1) rethink my views on these things. Or find another shopper. Hmm.... but the music is the same... which isn't the point. More interesting, which side is represented? Who is addressing whom? Who is hurt? Who's causing the pain? (The answer, I suspect, is that both hurt, both cause; it's once of those PrintArtist 'SatanGrafix Yin-Yang thangs'.)

    And even more critical, is Fletch right when he says that the lyrics for "The Metro" are written from her side, but the video from his? Hmm. Gender interchangeability at its best.

    Thanks for listening, folks. I'll shut up now - in a fit of blind arrogance.

    And so the fish rose its mighty Fin of Death and whisked off a head or two. "Nucklepie!", he said, as he spat engine oil all over the dentists. Soon, the dentists were not only covered in engine oil, but the cream cheese started stalking them as well. Only time would tell if the cream cheese would really attack the dentists. Murder? Not really. Just a concerned member of the freezer section.

    Of course, when one sets out to attack dentists, it's a good idea to come prepared. In addition to the Fin of Death, every fish is equipped with surgical tweezers, in which the blue wire is held far away from the red wire.

    After that, it was only a matter of proper flossing before the dentists would succomb to the evil clenches of the cream cheese. Rinse?

    Quest for fire

    Sometimes I think I wish I was an ancient caveman on a quest for fire. Searching for something to burn my neighbor's bum. Something to burn the hair off my head and make it smell like someone just burnt the hair off my head.

    I wish I could relive all the "Og"s and "Ootah"s. Be able to start a new language by changing the "O" in "Og" to an "X". "Xg" which would mean "to accidentally swallow a large bone and choke on it until blood pours from your throat into your lung and drowns you." Kind of like a hemorraging pneumonia.

    A caveman's life was much more risky than the life of humans today. Today we worry about what color socks to wear as our hand puppets. Or worry about which restaurant we get to fake an epileptic seizure in. A caveman's life revolved around survival. Eating food which wouldn't kill you. Sleeping where the dinosaurs wouldn't kill you. Finding shade where the sun wouldn't kill you. Poking the right woman who's husband wouldn't kill you. The quest for fire.

    Yes, sometimes I wish I was a neanderthal precambrian psycho slut with huge breasts, begging to feed the prehistoric world. Just waiting to abscond with the right Zog or Tog. Getting to pick the best of the litter, or at least getting to litter the best pick. Indeed, I wish I were a lesbian cavewoman, sleeping around with Zog's wife. Safely knowing that Zog would not have to worry about another mouth to feed. Rugged, fearless, and being tied up and whipped with dinohide. Oh, what it's like to be a homo-erectoid feminine beast! Brandishing all her sacred glory to the new world.

    Again, the quest for fire. The inspiration which drives us all.

    Foozle my woozle; ponch fiendish goat droppings

    In light of another work week yet upon us, take this time to reflect on

    last week and decide what you'll do differently this week. Here's some help...

    So the goat comes up to the farmer and asks for a Tamale. But the farmer does not have any Tamales. So he says, "No, I don't have any Tamales." The goat looks at him in disbelief, and says, "I think you do. And I'm gonna prove it!" The goat grabs the farmer by the scruff of the neck and throws him into a nearby bus depot. Immediately, the farmer is attacked and consumed by several Conway Twitty impersonators. The goat rummages through the farmer's wife and finds six full Tamales. He turns toward the impersonators and shouts, "See? I told you he had Tamales! They were hidden on the farmer's wife!" So the impersonators worshipped the goat. They called him "Petunia" and other snide words of pigeon droppings. They even sacrificed vinyl to him. Not music, just clothing.

    It's Dance Fever with Denny Terrio! This week's guest star is Bob Menchaka! Oh no! Not Bob Menchaka! Swoons around the dental hygeniest.

    Sung to the tune of: Ode to a Goat With Tamales

    Bottles and oughttles and noogies for lunch
    Spit for the shotgun and give it a crunch
    Dashes and colons and ampersands thrice
    Make for some yogurt and cream is so nice
    Dasher's on Prancer, and Vixen's so cute
    Orgy on top of the Tower is Yoot
    Spinach and lettuce and cauliflower zoo
    Bazingas and tamales and enchiladas, too
    Cremate the donkey and spit out a lung
    This ain't no song, son, it ain't even sung
    Wheezer and ice cream and fishsticks on ice
    Cremate the donkey; cremation is nice
    Whirl 'round the mustard and whirl on his fish
    Give him your number and he'll make you a wish
    Charles is a Bronson and Mel is the cook
    Work on my phone and I'll write you a book
    Sing a silly song but don't answer it Grimm
    A bluebird is dying, but he said "It's dead, Jim!"
    Fleas and the roaches but not my pet squid
    This song is now over; aren't you glad that I did?

    Tom, if you are still reading this, it's way past your bedtime. Go to bed and eat a fishstick or two. Pass the gravy, though, but be sure not to put it on top of noodles. Use gravy on top of meat only. Podgourney Weaver? The BlancMange? Scottish kilts?

    No, I'm not drunk. When I'm drunk I make several typographical errors. Ask anyone who receives my email when/if I'm drunk. NOw is not the time for all good men to come to the aid of the nuclear halibut in training for the 72 Olympics. Midas? Where's my muffler! Muffy? Missy--I mean--Mom?

    That oughtta keep you going for a while.

    Happy Monday.

    My foot is asleep

    And soon shall be I. Therefore I am my own foot. Which makes eating an odd proposition at best. More cereal I do believe.

    And then comes the sig, and the cigars, and the Sigue Sigue Sputnik, and the bad Leo Kunkle impersonators.

    One in three, man, one in three.

    Warp the wrap and hasta banana.

    Laundry and summer weather

    It is hot, at least outside; it's not refreshingly cool in here, that's for sure. The laundry closet (it's not really a room, too small) is sweltering; fortunately, I pop in, do the dirty deed, and get out again.

    Hmm, something sexual there. Never thought of a drier that way before.

    I don't think I will again.

    But I wash the damn clothes anyway, just on the premise that it makes an evil day (Monday) a little easier to deal with. Clean clothes a clean slate make. Good shorts and a comfortable shirt and you can take on the world.

    Conversely (and yes I DO wear Nike) if your clothes are last year's and a bit tight around the gut and your undies are the sort you home you don't get into a car accident because then what would people think of your mother... well, Mondays can be REALLY shitty, instead of just a lousy stretch to get through them whew I'm glad that was over.

    Took the little Tandy laptop out for a spin; I never use it, really, now that school's over. To think that people pay four and five thousand bucks for one of these things, little dinky, expensive, turnips. At least mine only cost me $250 all told.

    I coulda been a phreaker, but I'm just a dude who answers the helpline phone. Could be worse, I could be on the other end of the line.

    Or in New Jersey. Worse yet, both.

    And I think, I could be married, and starting a family, and getting home from work to the wife cooking dinner and watching TV and screaming kids.

    After I clean the vileness from my throat, I thank the powers that be that I am not there yet. I may be fat and old, but I am still young and burpish, if not sprightly; and there must still be out there somewhere my New Zealand airline stewardess.

    (Yeah, like she's going to be home more than a biology major. Oh well.)

    Such is life of a Sunday. The car is rewired, the ElFish are spawning and animating (do you animate when you spawn?) and everything else can wait until another day; it is not of import.

    Peaceful reflections

    "grep" is a combo of editor command characters. It is from the command

    :g/RE/p which translates to "global Regular Expression print".

    I mean, after all, why not? Everyone else does; it's not like they don't. I thought she was of age. I was young, I needed the money. There were only two photographs. How was I supposed to know that her husband was the guy behind the camera? And that her lover was in the next room? With a handgun?

    Some days life just ain't fair.

    A bit of philosophy from Old Man F:

    Just call me your little Angel. Yes, I prance around the house in my sister's underwear early in the morning. But that doesn't mean I'm wild. It means that I really care about how my genitalia sticks to the ceiling. Strange, you say? Queer? Nay, my plastic fish. Undergarments were made to be worn. Once! Twice! Thrice before washing! Washing removes the original intent of the creator. Washing removes the natural instinct of what it really means to be a woman. Washing removes the sin! Flaaarg, I tell you. Flaaarg to cleanliness!

    It's not an accepted behavior in the world, but cross-dressing is a religion in some towns. The town I grew up with shunned such natural human instincts. But not the town of Life. Nay! The town of Life flourishes in such behavior! To be able to feel fresh and tingley. Not just because of the crabs, either! I'm talking downright feminine hygiene. To truly experience nature's filth is a benefit to all of mankind. Even the dentists. Make that dental assistants. Yes. Many.

    Do not fear me. Do not hate me. Accept me for who I am and what I behold. And what I behold is Sis's nasty remnants of what society has shunned for generations. Get in touch with your feelings! Get in touch with your dirty laundry! Or someone else's! Benefit from all that it can do for you. Live in other's soiled passions. Wash if you must, but by all means, LIVE!!

    -- Underwritten by Sisters of the world. Yours and mine.

    Late night Slosh (Real life eats strudel)

    Yes, it's Late Night with The Slosh. Once again, it's our host... Levar Burton!!! I don't know why, but I find myself writing more stuff for The Slosh. Maybe it's because life is so simple and uneventful? Maybe it's because I have earthworms coming out of my brain and they're talking to me in sweet voices, whispering "write for The Slosh... it's an aphrodisiac". As the worms eat into my brain!!!!!

    Rebuttals. "Why is it difficult to find men who are sensitive, caring and good looking? -- They all already have boyfriends." This means something. This is important. Big House to Head Cheese, over. Plans have changed; Rabbit reports that the Jester has fallen out. Meet me at the Purple Slurpie at midnight to discuss terms. No more needles.

    There's something odd about an Ammurican tradition of stuffing spice up a chicken's ass, calling it the pope's nostrils, and baking it.

    And the auto parts places are closed. Weird.

    Uhh... not surprising. Her kind of thing. If I was more into

    it would be fun. Except of course I suspect I'm still on the bottom of the list of people to sleep with.

    You may have moved up a notch or two now that you're married, you know. This might be Your Chance ;-)

    It's sorta like Charlie & Buster (yes, our cats ARE our children, what of it??). Buster's NEVER gonna be a normal cat and sit and cuddle, or really even let anybody touch him.

    Charlie at least is jumpin' up on the bed and sitting, but he runs off if you look at him sideways ;-(


    ...anyway, point being, we must recognize small steps ;-)

    I was thinking Thursday about where I am today (specifically, where I was then, Tiz cooking and so forth) versus where I was, say, four or five years ago, in Walnut Creek, alone and fucking bored on Thnaksgiving and getting yelled at by Xpy's mother (long story, lol!)

    That was Xpy, btw.

    The Internet is boring on holidays -- only Swedish and Danish people post on T-giving, I discovered back in WC, and NOBODY posts on Xmas.

    Not even the Jewish and the Islamic.

    Ari says "hi" and licks you. Don't take this too personally, cuz Ari licks anybody, and generally without notice!

    This thought has been brought to you by the flying monkeys and the Poppies.

    Guess what we saw yesterday?

    You have the patience for the right person to come along. You seek advice from people you care about and respect. But then you busy yourself with opinions from neanderthals and attempt to pluck the wings off flies using only your sexual organs and a full pincushion. Your biggest disappointment was learning schizophrenia qualifies only as a hobby and not a fetish. Remember, the promise of latex paint will never be fulfilled.

    Yes, umm, well. You, umm, yes. Well. Indeed. So. Thank you Carl Sagan.

    John gets a call from his blonde girlfriend, Buffy. "I've got a problem," says Buffy. "What's the matter?" asks John. "Well, I've bought this jigsaw puzzle, but it's too hard. None of the pieces fit together and I can't find any edges."

    "What's the picture of?" asks John. "It's of a big Rooster," replies Buffy.

    "All right," says John, "I'll come over and have a look." So he goes over to Buffy's house and Buffy greets him saying, "Thanks for coming over."

    Buffy leads John into her kitchen and shows him the jigsaw on the kitchen table. John looks at the jigsaw and then turns to Buffy and says, "For Pete's sake put the Cornflakes back in the Box."

    Damienne points out , "I don't get it." (She's trying, unsuccessfully, to pretend blonde-ness.) Well, imagine this cardboard box with a picture of a big red cock on it ... Oh, nemmind.

    "You mean, like the pasta?"

    No, more like the pasta chef. If he's sunburned, err, where "it counts." How the fuck is either a rooster or male genitalia like pasta??

    "Never seen Peenie Pasta?"

    I don't play those games. I keep my dongle out of hot water.

    "Russ had a box of gummi penises once..."

    A random passerby in the office says that "No matter what university you come from, that's GOTTA hurt!"

    What kind of animal exactly is a nipplelope? (IOW, more conversations with a wanna-be-blonde.)

    "I know I'm psychic 'cause one day, I was thinking of the word "the", and right after I thought it, someone used it in a sentence! Can you believe it?"

    Precognition is the easiest to engender.

    "So... postcognition is harder?" Check a guy's shorts when you say "post-cognition" and see how hard he is.

    On eating vegans... You know, they sell pasta shaped like... Rice cooker? I didn't know anyone sold pasta shaped like... I try and avoid anatomically correct food. Ah! A vegan! Oh no, I'll eat vegetarians too. I'm not picky. That's nice. Unless you're the vegan. And for those of you listening at home, nope, that's not a threatening statement. It's just a sort of random, unexpurgated resemblance of tasty wafers of bat vomit. Blondes aren't my style, as we know; I thoroughly prefer redheads.

    More dork-bell-bashing, or the perils of political correctness:

    <story> Here's another one for someone's collection, from Gavin Esler's book 'The United States of Anger' (Penguin paperback, ISBN 0-14-026927-4 if anyone's interested; p75):

    'During the 1993 seige of David Koresh's compound in Texas, I travelled to Waco airport to meet the family of a British member of Koresh's Branch Davidian cult. I knew that the father was flying to Texas in the hope of rescuing his son from the compound. I was told thjat the man was middle-aged, black, and from the English Midlands, but I had no othed description. While I stood at the airport with other British journalists waiting for the flight to arrive, a white American television reporter, who had also been tipped off about the incoming relative, sidled up to me.

    "How will you recognise him?" she asked.

    "Well, he is British and black," I replied.

    "Oh," she said, "he is African-American."

    It is now regarded as politically correct to refer to black Americans as "African-Americans". But this was a *British* man who happened to be black.

    "No," I protested, amused at the mistake. "The man is *not* African-American. He is British."

    "But," the reported persisted, "you *said* he was African-American."

    "No, I said he was British and black."

    There was an embarrassed silence as, slowly, the last glimmers of common sense tried to reassert themselves. The journalist was adrift in the new rules, desperate not to offend anyone, yet managing precisely the opposite.

    "Well," she wondered, "could I say he is African-British?"

    Before I could answer, behind me a British voice called sarcastically, "Maybe you should try African-West Indian-British. Just to be on the safe side."

    </story> So, someone who shall remain nameless pipes up with, "Anyway, they're not black at all. They are brown."

    And I counter with, "What, Brits? They're only brown as the final stage of being exposed to California sun -- first bright lobster red, then a sort of maroon, and then finally a crispy brown as their skin flakes off...:

    She replies, in her usual bombastic fashion, "Sounds like Kentucky Fried Chicken."

    Yes, except there's no Kentucky in Britain, only Frye. The chicken, of course, crossed the pond.

    Reminds me of an issue involving BBS' and telnets; Kwak, you can comment here: "It's like a modem and a door, only there's no modem, and there's no door..."

    I knew a girl like that once. No modem, no door. Everyone else knew her four times at least. I'm thankful I only had the once; less chance of disease that way.

    Another one-liner: "A girl with no modem and no door? So how did anyone get in?"

    Well, *I* wouldn't be the one to know... but the writing on the wall (of the men's room, next to her phone number) enumerated a series of possibilities:

    And now she explodes: "It is odd that people (esp. women) are judged by non-religious people) with religious-based judgments. Did you ever call the number."

    Not sure where religion entered into the picture (or the young lady in question for that matter.) It is certainly possible that, at times of extreme, umm, happiness, she might have cried out (to quote "The Martyrdom of St Victor") something akin to "Oh Lord, this is fantastic", but I would imagine that such would be as close as religion would get to this particular hypothetical situation which I reiterate my lack of direct personal knowledge of.

    Who is religious in your accusation/observation, who is non-religious, and who is making judgements on whom?

    Uhoh, an outburst this time: "She was judged for her sexual behavior. This sort of thing didn't happen to women until religion took over Europe and England. Because people do not realize their history, they judge people and write things on walls about them! That's my point on how religion entered the picture." Any time someone has to clarify by saying "That's my point", you KNOW they're babbling ;-). Ah. So people have been writing about men on public restroom walls for centuries then. How long have public restrooms been commonplace?

    Moreover, I can't speak to the writings about men on restroom walls since I rarely frequent ladies' restrooms (and then only to run in, flip up all the toilet seats, and dash out again.) Perhaps men are similarly judged. Still smells like a matriarchal dominated society to me. Or something out of a forgettable Star Trek (TOS) episode involving Bill Shatner without a shirt.

    Another random spattering: "Matriarchal dominated society? When? Where? Can I get tickets? Is it because "The hand who rocks the cradle is the hand who rocks the world?" Bill Shatner withougt a shirt? Yeesh! When I was in kindergarten, I though Spock was much sexier."

    It's the ears -- granted, they're satanic ears, but it's the ears.

    One final inconsequentiality: "Public baths and restrooms were common in Rome, where plumbing was first invented. There is even grafitti among the ancient Pyramids of Egypt! I have never seen a guy's phone number written on the wall of a ladies restroom nor any derogatory remarks written about males - just other females sometimes. There's a lot of "Joe Shmoe is fine!" And "T.S. + S.N. forever!" and stuff like that.

    ...and things degenerate. When doesn't that happen? <chuckle>. WARNING: I will fully admit that the above is edited slightly, for brevity, but I guarantee that it contains all of the surrealism and uselessness originally present in both sides of the conversation. I will also admit that some parts of the thread, particularly the remotely realistic ones, were dropped, as they have little or no place in The Slosh for that reason alone. Noodle.

    And the big chuckle, for me, about all of this is that the "I knew a girl like that once" business is just me bein' stooopid. Ask Charman or anybody who knows me outside of GD -- I say this in response to almost anything, a bad habit I picked up from me poppa. There actually is a specific woman I knew in school who this is modelled after, but it's truly all just a bunch o' wordplay.

    As is so much on GD and indeed, the world. Perhaps this should be a lesson to us all, or perhaps I just need more rootbeer.

    Turtle Wax Questionairre

    Thank you for purchasing another rather clever idea from Johnson Wax, Inc., PQFP. Please answer the following questionairre by circling the choice which best describes your penis:

    1. The instructions for applying the wax was:

    2. The celebrity spokesperson in your box was:
    Marty Mouse. Technovermin for the modern microphone. Gateway 2000 is actually Gateway 2048 with the parity RAM installed. I'm a talking SIMM. I'm a Stack Overflow candidate.

    With the next Presidential elections nearly upon us, I feel it appropriate to congratulate the dead Presidents which have martyred their lives for the sake of new libraries established in their memorial. Twelve books later, Congress is still holding a Cinnamon Roll vote. This is about as political as I'll ever get, thank you very much Fletch, but I cannot bear to think that our beloved government is enacting in my favor. Did you know that "government" is an anagram for "veluptuous goat"?

    So Snapperhead is not on our happy list. Ask Vince Kim if Marty is in my pants. The Amazon not only flows through the middle of our department, but it also smokes more than the Nile. Snapperhead just bought a new shovel in order to dig himself a deeper hole. Snapperhead just found out the meaning of the word "no". Can I borrow *your* CDs?

    Looking out the window across the everpleasant valley of I-680, I see that they've finally established the FOP lane. This lane is furthest on the right, and must be used by all FOPs. In addition, *only* FOPs can use this lane, and speed limits cannot exceed 20mph during peak hours. When using this lane, the radio may be played on the AM band only, and volume not to exceed -25 dB at 3M. Why the driver would be 3M away from the stereo is beyond me, but that's H.M. Government. Signalling into or out of the FOP lane must be engaged at least 2 minutes or 2 miles before actually changing lanes. Vehicles capable of exceeding 55mph are strictly prohibited. No wigs.

    But Egon, I thought you said using pickle juice as an enema was BAD?!

    Oh, it's another tiring late night where I'm listening to the same music over and over and over again, El-Fish. Wynonna Judd is not Winona Ryder. The question is... can Pete tell the difference? El-Fish in Germany.

    Your New American Neanderthal

    Installation Instructions

    Opposing Thumb Model: Skip to step #12

    1. Open your box. You should find inside...

    2. Thaw your caveman, using one of the techniques described:
  • Method A: Using the ice pic, club your block of ice until something growls.
  • Method B: Using the block of ice, club Levar Burton until he stops growling.
    3. Once your caveman is fully thawed, you must awaken him. Do so by gently patting him on the back with the palm of your hand. You may encourage thawing by using gentle grunts and "oooh"ing noises. If it grabs your hand and starts eating it, you have thawed too quickly. Make sure you don't have the Opposing Thumb model, and proceed to step 6.

    4. When your caveman gently awakes, you must prepare him for vocal speech. Do so by confining him in a closed room with a parrot or mina bird for 6 hours. If he mimics the bird properly, you should notice that he will pronounce vowels before consonants. If he mimics the bird improperly, he should be nesting and laying an occasional egg. Again, make sure you don't have the Opposing Thumb model, and continue with step 5.

    5. Test for Opposing Thumb model. Many individuals new to the Neanderthal experience may not be able to properly identify his/her model. We find it curious that many customers are suddenly killed after not following directions consistant with the model they own. In order to prevent accidents from occuring, it is now time to verify which model you have.

    Proceed.

    12. If you have the Opposing Thumb model, you are now joining those of us with the 5th Finger model. Please follow instructions carefully...

    It is now time to instruct your caveman to handle duplication and minor office tasks. He should be able to perform the following tasks successfully right out of the box, but may have a few bad habits which need to be broken. If you followed instructions properly, you should still have the hand- grenade supplied in the kit. This is an effective habit-breaking device. It's also a good way to test hand-eye coordination.

    Tasks which can be performed by cavemen:

    Tasks which should not be performed by cavemen:
    13. Your American Neanderthal should now be ready for feeding. Please don't defer from the following diet:

    5th Finger model: shrubs, leaves, grubworms, Taco Bell.

    Opposing Thumb model: Perrier water, Thai or exotic food, ginseng, wheat germ, BMW's, tennis, fake girlfriends, Daddy's estate.

    14. Music. Your caveman comes equipped with Dolby C HX-Pro surround sound with vectored Planar speakers, all backed by a 1000-watt 4-channel amplifier. Due to the very high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), it is unnecessary to worry about hiss emitting from your speakers. You will, on occasion, hear cackles, burps, or other grunts emitting from time to time. This will be corrected in future models, when the HomoErectus model becomes available.

    Warranty: Your American Neanderthal Caveman Kit comes complete with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If your unit fails to operate due to a manufacturer defect or miscalculation during evolution, we'll replace it with another like model. Sorry, no upgrades. If your unit fails after the warranty period, you may return your caveman to us for a copy of El-Fish or Winona Ryder, whichever grunts less. (At our option.)

    Another quality product from the Pirate Squid Shop-At-Home Club.

    I'm going to take all my clothes off, smear my body with apricot jam and then put rice cakes in strategic places, running out into the street and throwing myself at the birds.

    The Slosh (Mobile), Volume 12. While waiting for yet another fifteen megabyte download from the UseNet, and watching an Interfacer IV to make sure it doesn't explode (why read current ratings when you can just try it and see... a watched IO4 never cooks.)

    Huh?

    The only truly irritating thing about the Mod100 is the 40 column screen.. the keyboard, though a little small, has the best feel of any portable Tandy, damn near any portable, I've played with. But the screen is so weird that I gotta nix the TAB's I'm so found of at the beginning of paragraphs.

    The brightness leaves a litle to be desired but that is to be expected in a first generation LCD display. Hardly frontlit even. While I'm complaining I might gripe about the weird layout of the cursor keys, but if I was industrious I could switch them. What's the point? At least it has differentiable backspace and delete functions, albeit on the same key.

    The IO4 is still going, go figure. Typical fuckin CompuPro. Magic, that 74LS hi-rel all-socketed stuff. The other really cool thing about the micro-laptop class, is their extreme portability. (Shit, typing one-handed is effectively the same as typing two-handed with all the errors!) They're small, comfortable on the lap, even in a classroom situation... or the bathroom. Yes, it's Slosh on location from emu's John. Is that Emu's john, or John's emu, or Will's llama?

    And this thing understands WS control codes... by and large. ^W and ^Z are ^KR and ^KC respectively, ^DSEX works, ^T and ^B are top and bottom of the screen... hard life, eight lines and all that, might wear your fingers out. Maybe I could get used to ^DSEX again instead of the funky keys. Hmmm...

    'Course, it would Landmark at 20,000 millionths of a char/ms, but what the hell, it's fun. And cheap. Best kind. I knew a computer like that once...

    To study or to play. And so the conversation turned... Visual stimuli. Now if only I can figure the connect between this and WordStar, and stop hitting the Caps Lock instead of SHIFT...

    Whenever you sell a hard-drive to someone, it must contain The Slosh somewhere thereon. Also, same with taking drives to Quinns. ;)

    the tv

    well...

    I either need to get a .doc file from one of you on how to work the tv and stuff now or clean my room and hook mine up in my room =)

    After pressing buttons that *seemed* logical enough and getting one station on the tv and another one comming out of the speakers, I decidide that it was official and the television had outsmarted me. Having two sets of remote controls on the table was a nice added touch too, btw. =)

    also, i'm ASS-U-MING there are not enough remote controls to turn off whatever it was that got turned on. I was able to get the tv and one of the vcrs to turn off (i think) without getting up, but the rest had to be done the old fashion way.

    [mental note:] when aaron and jeff say they're "planning on re-wiring the vcr and stuff", don't leave home and go to vacaville. Stay home, follow them around and take notes. =)

    The search is on for an official mission statement for the Cranial Spigot Factory(tm). What do they do? First, we must define what a cranial spigot is. Obviously, a factory is a place that creates and manufactures cranial spigots. I would guess that a cranial spigot is anything burped by the brain. (As opposed to brian burping after a lot of Taco Bell.) So the Cranial Spigot Factory is a place where brilliant spurts of random jibber are created.

    Just thought I'd check your nose for VESA compliance, sir. Have you sneezed into your mouse driver lately? No? Upgrade your nose to an 8.20, or have snapperhead hand-master his dongle.

    Pointer problem solved. I think the whole issue is one of flipping goats. If you'd named your variable Rory Innes instead of squeegle, Petula Clark would not have spent Lorne Greene and would instead have added her own e's, Petulae Clarke.

    DESCRIPTION "butt"

    Could you clarify? You both are acting ridiculously! You NEVER add mule squeezins to dead cheese. Only when the cheese is live do you need to worry about coagulation and then you just need to stop talking to it! Talking to live cheese is dangerous and will keep it from clotting until it dies!!! And of course it wasn't in casepoint. You think I'd trust live cheese secrets to the public?!!?! Mule squeezin's? Hell, chile, when I were young, we had to add mule dick cheese to the squeezoins just to keep em from frying in the hot snow. Never eat rutabaga on any day of the week that has a 'Y' in it. Well, as I recall, I kept stirring and stirring, but the dead cheese just wouldn't clot. I finally did get it to work, though. Had to add a pint of mule squeezin's. Sorry, I forgot to save that one as an unresolved.

    DESCRIPTION "Dead cheese won't coagulate"

    How do I explain it? "Ma'am, some crazed Brit says you have to move your computer to the north side of the room so cosmic rays don't touch your cd- rom drive."

    Uh-huh. Next time, tell him to call a doctor.....

    DESCRIPTION "customer has bloody nose"

    Unless its the computer with the nose bleed....

    I'm a talking burger. Please talk to me! si me quieren hablar, por favor hablame in mi cara. Quinta is not in my car. No, Seņor Molina. No hay las Shroooms. Hallucinagin. Metamucil again. Insane in the rogaine. hmmm...i knew about the noodle and the burger but the spanish tv...i've only seen you watching that...not the other one. i think you're hallucinating again. Oh, believe *me*, sir. If you think I'm off my tree, imagine another person screaming "burger"outside your door... mumbling "noodle" in the kitchen... watching Spanish TV programming...

    <a href="http://noodle.jeff.org" align=left_noodle> You don't know what you're in for!</a>

    [sigh] just yet another to add to the collection of evidence that will back me when she comes for a visit. pst...shannon...come quick while jeff's not around...see what he's really like. [gasp]

    <snicker> Hey Nolan, did you wear a hole in your right glove again? </snicker>

    Oh, you don't know the half of it! There are some residents in Nova Scotia who not only have fallen in love with Rampage Man, but desire to become Rampage Woman!! [idea] these emails would make a great "see what he's really like" message that could easily be sent to certain people in Nova Scotia. [eg] The heat cooks the noodle into pasta sludge. Needing awnings, bleeding yawnings. Yanni's bladder. Son of Sam. My pool has been pissed in, film at 11. Sweating steady, and not even a bed. A waste of a deep breath. Noodle the burger, hamburger's helper.

    El Gran Juego De La Oca! OCA! OCA! OCA!

    heheheh....hey Beavis....he said "oca" ..hehe...hehehe...this is cool

    Feel the CONFIG.SYS. Nuke the cheese and reminisce about the donut fuzz. Remember the Alamo!!!! How much Etchant went to Miller. JEM??? JIM!!!! Where's Jerrry when you need him. Who needs Jerry? Flub the wangboot? Boot the Wang and Chung the fork. Niddle. Replay all nuns. Finnish suns with bouillabaisebowls, head off the removal of the entree. I play nerfball only mit Matson Wills swill. Freed the edge, thrice, wax the whacked appling. Apply the dentist whose protected cave newt guns down the line. 970.FISH.FUN. Needle. Reply to ALL! Reply to NONE! Finish the son with the baseball bat, and remove his head entirely. Nerf Olan is not Mills Watson. Empty the fridge before 3 and feed the wax apples to the dentist for no cavity protection under the gumline. Fun line? 800.FUN.FISH. Noodle.

    Pidgin, meaning reduced language, or pigeon, meaning the bird. No others.

    Don't hit me with the yawning hammer. Hitting Jan Hammer is like hammering MC Fish, localising the locus of loci intesting the contest of retesting the lizard's lizardly dastards and bastards. Noodle! Feed the fish, Zarcon. Don't hit them with the blue hammer. Hitting fish is bad in the eyes of the fishee. Fish are like swarms of locusts, infesting the digestive tract of the lizard's noodle.

    The plims are in my soul. Stale pilgrim farts can be found on Plymouth Rock. Cape Cod? Cape Canaveral. The pilgrims came over on the Discovery.

    Frontal weirdity and scrodal froodity, purple nudity, noodle noodlity. Candy blandy, weightbox pirntops.

    Ripping yarns and tipping barns. That's the life for me. Wherewith the nowadays have been, rewarding and cording the wood of sanctity. Lurking below the dynamic wind tunnel, the airflow has proven its viscosity as it creams the putty against the spoon. Swimming, eating, repairing the torn wallpaper. It thrives off intelligence, and the lack of formal training makes it purple.

    And they switch, oh how they switch. They pine downwards into the bit of descartes, and swipe sideways unto the snow that feels for them, yea, it feels for them. Thrice and nice the rice doth burn.

    It feeds the notion that the teeth are are larger than life, indeed, are incapable of being any other. The displayed directory information is invalid and the forthcoming shall not be. Yet we spake the whensoever, eekles.

    Belittle the whittled apron sleeves. The monkey retards the heat with it's mighty beak. Circling high in the sky, it hurls its wrath down onto the people of the dental orifrice. Speaking clearly, the tongue sprinkles dew into the sky.

    Yea, though I walk in the shadow of a noodle, I shall not fear it. For it cannot hurt me, if I wet it down enough. Thou can preparest it with olive oil and a touch of garlic for a splendid revenge. Surely, it is possible that indigestion and irritation may follow, but it may well be worth the risk, to be with the noodle. I must learn to not open messages from you with the subject "Free Beak Inside". What a pigeon surprise. The noodle guru chases me with a metal spork, yea, and chases me with a plastic spork in the other hand. You can't handle the spork! I fondle the spork that the fondue may be sprinkled. Star spangled danny elfman noodle butt. Or "free exploding penis" .... yeah.....that too. No, but I left a wombat in there, with a welding torch, and a flaying bat. Do you have any of these?

    Owen may or may not be nuts, depending on the version:

    Yes, it's true. I'll miss both of you, you shining age spots of rat turd on the orange face of n00neVlEWt. I'll stop by your web page, download all the PSQ paraphernalia, even slander you to Blackwell if I think of it.

    I'll be around. I'll be in touch. I'll be out to lunch.

    I'm puzzled. No wonder I haven't seen either.

    Black rectangular coffee table

    Like, Duhhh, of course it broke out, poor little black table. It was tired of being a stepping stone for literary types, putting their grubby birkenstocks, (or feet) all over it. It broke out, valiant little table, now it is freely roaming the stairwells, feasting upon the errant few who in their aimless wanderings, have the extreme misfortune to fall into the wells. Beware the bitter little black coffee table that has found it's

    Ahh, I can see the light now, wow, whats wrong with my hand, anyway, anger against tom is not good, I think it's a little too prevalent around here, now stop it... What happened, did I forward one (not so) funny e-mail too many? My lower back is killing me, do you have any advice?:~{

    Hmm, this is gibberish, I don't understand. Have you been hitting the catnip? Inhaling mothballs, matzo balls, ...

    Dear FedExWife

    I don't see why there is a problem delivering the SplintFelon program to my toolshed. The shed is visibly marked "Sacrifice Chamber", and is entirely accessible from the swamp.

    I spoke with my next-door newt, and he informed me that his elbow fell off and was unable to locate the package you alledgedly left on his front TV Repairman.

    According to your offer in the Daily Spider, I am entitled to the free Boron Disk to accompany my Argon graphics.

    Dear Mrs MacGruder

    Your PlintAltist package has been delivered; look under the eavs of space #37, as you were not home, so the Frustrated Depress deliveryman left it in the space next door.

    Please do not request your free Bogus Graphics Disk, as they are too bogus to be delivered to a trailer park.

    RE: Squid bladder alert!

    I see....I see...I see my skin turning white and my eyes turning red. I feel the urge to build an igloo. I can feel myself shrinking. I can feel myself becoming left-handed. Oh wait..it was just gas.

    I forsee a resurgance of the Pirate Squid Club. I see new ground being forged. New steel being traversed. (Wait, those were mixed up) I see the Pirate Squid Club regrouping and rising from the ashes at Theatre Square. It will rise to new heights here at Cal Plaza (at least 4 levels higher). I see the Pirate Squid Club ruling once again.

    Or, maybe not

    As the fly steps into the outer rim of the nasal cheese, I am reminded of the dental bridgework my uncle once gave me. Twice he gave me the knowledge to fight sewer bats, but I never appreciated the skill until now. Battered eggs and bittered dregs Mister Spock is not Doctor Spock.

    Weird shit you can overhear whilst Nolan is on the phone: Hit CONTROL- BLADDER, ma'am, pick the one about DEPENDS. Skoodle pop. Whack the noodle bop. I am groatonomous stop. I could tell that to the lady on the phone right now and she'd believe it. PORNSTAR GONDITOS to bring up the casket. Skoodle pop. The noodle prison calls. Bruce Dickinson is my copilot, yea verily, and Patricia Ford follows me with the KY jelly for miles and miles. Lo, and the emu spoke, and what he spoke was Truth; and the brethren and folk they recognised it as Truth, and welcomed it. They stroked and they strolled, and they spread the Truth that the emu had spoken. And they would later be known as those who spoke the truth of which the emu spoke whilst they strolled and stroked. Phucl, man, must be them blue M&M's. Maybe they're not in 256 color mode.

Only people named John can use the Happy Mac; the free turnip inside is just too "It works on my computer" for otherwise. More as it fails to happen, sklot.

    ...so I'm in the fourby newsfroup, and they're talking about "FORD: Found On Road Dead" and "Friends don't let friends drive Chevy" bumper stickers, and some guy from AOL pipes up with:

    If some girl tried to kick my ass, I'd be like, "Hey, why don't you stop
    dressing me up like a mailman, and making me dance for you while you go and
    smoke crack in your bedroom and have sex with some guy I dont even know on

    Can you associate this with fourby's? LOL! Fucking AOLer's!

    Phenol.

    Ingestion of even small amounts may cause nausea, vomiting, circulatory collapse, tachypnea, paralysis, convulsions, coma, greenish or smoky-colored urine, necrosis of mouth and G.I. tract, icterus, death from respiratory failure, sometimes from cardiac arrest. Average fatal dose is 15g, but death from as little as one gram has been reported. Fatal poisoning may also occur by skin absorption.

    Phenol. It was the greenish or smoky-colored urine that got me hooked.

    John Lennon was killed because he saw a UFO! Inside of his last album cover, in the liner notes, it says "I, John Lennon, saw a UFO on..." and the date (of which I don't remember). The Establishment was scared that if John Lennon started to go public with this, people might actually believe him, so they killed him. At least that's what I saw on TV!

    And no, Jeff, Aaron didn't say that. Fuck off.

    Chapter 6 is all about John Cleese, or rather, to be more accurate, it isn't. There is no Chapter Six. There is no John Cleese.

    The switch is in the underbrush. It is following me. Stealthily it chases my shadow, mirroring my every move, from bar to bar and from couch to couch. It swings through trees and maps network drives behind my back, passing flying ledges as if they were standing naked. The switch hunts me with cleverness and passion; it has patience, for it knows it will attain its objective. It will own me one day, Abyssinians or other. It has strength.

    And styrene, and strychnine, and cheese. Lots of cheese, heinously immense quantities of it actually. But I digress, for it is noon in Hawaii and I have to run, again, to avoid the death of the wallplate that invades my senses and pervades my co-manufacturers. Someday, I will prevail, through superior regenerative skills, and some tidy metal-working, but until that day ninety years and five dollars hence approacheth, the devil must soak my skin will turpentine.

    I made a bumper sticker for my Suburban just for tailgaters:

    Important News About Canada Trip!

    Today's topic of discussion will be Calista Flockhart. First up, why the goofy name? It sounds like something a porn star would have, but she doesn't look like a porn star, not blonde enough and too skinny and not remotely enough plastic.

    Next we have the whole dancing baby thing, tossing spears and ringing bells and beating midgets and date rapists.

    In conclusion, I wish to spittle.

    A Lesser Known Mexican Holiday

    Today of course is Cinco de Mayo, the Fifth of May, where Mexico celebrates its independence from Spain. It's a very important time for the whole country. But we should not forget the lesser holidays, which really are of equal import to the country.

    There's the Cinco de Marzo, and the Cirque de Soleil; definitely the Cinque de Marzipan and of course the Cincabamos de la Noodlabamos al Portero de los Angels de la Mar, por la Manana. All of these are of critical importance to the Mexican on the street, Seņor Molino. He has enough gas and gastrointestinal fortitude to remember the Fifth of Fourth (or is that a fifth of Forth?) as different from a fifth of Scotch or the income tax situation in Guam's guano farms.

    Fooled you. The froob is the key; the Froob is All. All revolves around the Froob as the entirety of it All is Froobcentric. When dealing with the Froob this is the thing to remember. Froob.

    Macaulay Culkin hunts me down with the strength of nine men, and a really big Indian named Smegmatic Blur. Or was that the band he was in? It would make a really good name for a band, like Crucial Taunt or Stupid Dead Bunnies. In any event, I fear the day that I find a band called Smegmatic Blur, for then I would have to sue them for all I was worth, and that ain't much. But I have a Tiz, and a Z, and no TI's, which are all good combinations. ScanJet the ScanProt for unprotected jets, or inkspetznatz, or Nick "The Man" and Roxanne. Barbi my white butt.

    Truths:

    Cats are disturbed by:

    ARE YOU THE FUCKING CHUPACABRA???? WELL THEN TAKE THE FUCKING CRACK PIPE OUT OF YOUR JAW AND SPLIT THE FIREWOOD BITCH!!!!

    because that isn't right. Is a firewood bitch a statue of a dog made out of oak? Yes, only in the same way the a Gillian Anderson is an Irish truss for shoes with duct tape.

This is only a test. If this was a REAL emergency, you would have know about it, trust me. goat. pump the goat. you work too much. sneeze the disk drive. format the cheese. windowz is not in my startup fodder. touch the bruse. eeeeek.

    I was thinking Thursday about where I am today (specifically, where I was then, Tiz cooking and so forth) versus where I was, say, four or five years ago, in Walnut Creek, alone and fucking bored on Thnaksgiving and getting yelled at by Xpy's mother (long story, lol!)

    The Internet is boring on holidays -- only Swedish and Danish people post on T-giving, I discovered back in WC, and NOBODY posts on Xmas.

    Not even the Jewish and the Islamic.

    Ari says "hi" and licks you. This thought has been brought to you by the flying monkeys and the Poppies.

    it's odd. there are all these little guys with saxophones. they're wearing ties, but they're not the right kind of ties.

    they are very un-mod, non-ska. with some skinny ties on these skinny kids, and those saxophones, they could be belting out The Specials or English Beat or even whassat, Might Mighty Bosstones. very Skankin' Pickle.

    but the ties are wrong. weird, huh?

    "And in the beginning, the goat was good. This was, however, not enough for Seņor Molino, and he sought out the largest bladder in the band, who was named Bob. Bob had no teeth, and sucked applesauce through a straw, but Bob could play the banjo like no other bladder.

    Mind you, Bob had no personality either, even after repeated yet failed transplants. This might explain his voting structure, or his penchant for wearing women's pantyhose (on his ears), or not. This is the Way Of Such Things.

    And it came to pass that the bar was not passed, and much inebriation was to occur, and the Unique Gourd Shape was copyrighted, and all that Seņor Molino had to fall back upon was the back of his couch. Which, fortunately for him, was equipped with the amazing Sens-O-Matic butterscotch lever, allowing him the pleasure of Carmen Electra whenever your sick & twisted little mind stops thinking about things scatalogical and switches to the forefront of medical terminology."

    we saw same yesterday.

    I have never bought anything at REI for remotely its intended purpose. I have "beaners" (unlike your students -- "caribbeaners"? "carob-beaners"?) holding up lamps, and for lifting the top off the truck (project in progress) ... but never for rock climbing or camping or kayaking or the like.

    Did you say, "KAYAK STUMP FUCK"?

    I've heard of felching. Have you heard of "snowballing"? Russ was the first person I had in mind as a candidate. Have fun you two! Need instructions? Sure, preferably with an instructional video. Just as a hint, does it involve deep anal fisting? No, that's called "Deep Anal Fisting". It needs its own special word though, doesn't it? I suggest we call it "Mannexing". My understanding of snowballing was passing a... um... fluid between people by way of mouth. Except that the fluid is specifically not a mouth-originated fluid. Oh hun, the sauce is excellent. Here, try a little of mine... Ooh, sounds fun. Can Russ and I do it with Red Adair and Gene Kelly? I've had dreams of felching Keanu Reeves. No, really. Not Gene Kelly, though. That would be gross. Especially now that he's dead.

    Children: The ultimate contraceptive

    Teeth coming out take precedence over a good long cuddle.
    Homework takes precedence over dancing nekkid in the bedroom.
    A stubbed toe takes precedence over that romantic bath.
    Crying and sobbing take precedence over sex.

    ...very scary. One of your pages almost freaked me out. Your writing is really similar to some of my random spewing/writing. At first I thought maybe one of my friends posted some of my writing... Yikes! The style is almost too similar to mine. It's almost like you ran my stuff through a filter and replaced words here and there... Your "chapter 11" reminds me of some programs I wrote to autogenerate bizarre sentences. I also wrote a program hat would generate and define new words, some of which became commonly used words among my friends in highschool.

    Hmm, a la "grot"... defined by and used by me buddies. But also from "The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin", which fortunately is so obscure that nobody else knows ;-)

    I urge you to consider professional help, if the circumstances of your life are such that they would cause you to consider The Slosh in any way familiar to you. Or not. Or something. Thank you Carl Sagan.

    Seriously, umm, thanks, I guess ;-). I keep meaning to put up that front page that the Bible is missing (did you knwo that -- it's missing the cover page: "Any similarity to any persons or situations is purely coincidental and unintentional...")

    ...anyway, that might keep the lawyers from picking my bones, or at least in the bone-dry-and-swarming-with-leeches area.

    You know, in retrospect, I think the "key" to Slosh-ing, if you will, is self-referencing... use one phrase of yesterday's paragraph so that nobody, including yourself, has any idea of what actually is being said, other than for some reason it tickles the funny bone.

    or has to do with one eighteen-year-old's total inability to get laid. Hmm. Well thanks for putting up your stuff. I look forward to freaking myself out a little more as I read the rest of it.

    As long as it (1) doesn't make a mess on the rug and (2) doesn't annoy the neighbors, heck, it might not be legal in Arkansas, but then, neither you or I are in Arkansas.

    We're out of Huston. You're lucky, Nolan, as the Ryu's decided that normal wear & tear of the walls included your boogers or whatever the hell you left behind ;-) And Jeff, I'll be sending you-all the bill for the hazardous material disposal fees of the remaining chili beers, and the Puck.

    The County hazmat place takes car batteries, old paint, and such, but they don't take nasty cheap alcohol, and they didn't know what the fuck to classify the Puck as. Bastards.

    Finally met the Ryus, btw. Nice people -- he's very, well, Japanese, and quiet; she's, well, everybody's third-grade teacher. C'est la vie -- I don't envy the poor mofo who tries to figure out the rat's nest of chopped RG62 93-ohm coax under the house ;-)

    Uhh... I spose. Sounds like a lot of people in kilts though. which could only be worse if they were on stilts... unless of course their swordblades fell off, leaving only the hilts with the people in kilts on stilts. Then if their girlfriend left them, they'd be jilted... perhaps she had a lilting voice... she might not dissolve, but she could milt ... or knit a quilt... 'twas so dirty, was filled with silt ... like the pinball game, and it always beeped tilt... or perhaps the flowers would just wilt.

    KNOW ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW???
    
    
    stumpfuck and crack in bottles I ran across a copy of the slosh at another site (A poorly formated, 405K TEXT FILE FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!!! with fab ASCII art:D - Oh to see the old text-based days of the internet come back and destroy the heathen blinking-add-banner) They had a link to an older PSC omepage made in about 1996.

    And all somehow related to SimCity -- it's the kid named Pat in Alaska, I bet. *He* never returns email. Oh well.

    BTW, it's "PSQ" for Pirate Squid Club. I don't know either.

    You can find the PSC on http://www.warmhaven.com (really -- if you don't believe me, try http://www.value.net/~psq if that makes you feel better.)

    You can mail Jeff on jeff-at-warmhaven-dot-com and ask him about LDS.NET. Gleefully offended I started doing searchs and found slosh.com but I thought I was at another outdated site for an organization that no longer existed.

    Slosh does not exist. Those are boogers hanging out of your nose.

    I was crushed. The mystery was way cooler than the knowing. It wasn't much but I had a set a virtual message in a bottle adrift in an electronic sea. But at least the message was in the appropriate sloshy style.

    I would imagine that some folks would tell you to stop shopping for clothes on ebay.com and perhaps get out of the house now and again while that big yellow thing is afire in the sky. At the very least you might consider sexual gratification that doesn't involve kitchen implements.

    And so now it's today and here's another message.

    Today is not. Did you know that we *all* engage in time travel?

    Yeah well everything's differnet. Calls aargh. Callers aargh. The rooting instinct, is that which causes babies to instinctively seek out the mother's breast, eagerly lapping and biting, clamoring for milk. Some never outgrow it...

    Uhh, you all should spend a little less time downloading GIF's, and a little more time... Anyway, I'd really rather not know what your hair and William Shatner's hair do when they're together. It sounds like the root of your problem...

    My hair can beat up Bill Shatner's.

    And Jeff, I meant to include Ponch in that mast response. Sorrty

    I have no idea what you're talking about, Tom. But I think my hair's been insulted. ;)

    Hmm, the only response I can muster to such a swipe, (boot disk administrator) is that labels are bad, they are a tool of the man, to keep the ambitious down, to lock out youth, squelch creativity, and encourage the kind of mindless, cookie-cutter, advertising/marketing/"public relations" defined society that is composed of shallow automatons, and general stupidity. Pro wrestling is a perfect example of this. But I digress. Your hairs look fine, in a 1987 sort of way, and as far as MY "title", what it is, and what I do, are probably not on the same map, but I'll never tell...

    Sorry, Tom. No, I can't say that I took the article. After all, I had high hopes of having an Admin Assistant shave my head, too.

    Hey. Aren't you an Admin Assistant? ....

    Dammit, I'd better not find that one of you kids took down the wrestling article in the kitchen. I didn't even get to read it yet. It's just not fair, they take the interesting stuff down too soon...

    Not sure of its fateor what its purpose might be
    It flounders and flails outside of the sea

    That some time soon it will surely stink

    You sick muthapoppy!

    Uhh, sorry to bug y'all with this, but I'm becoming a little concerned. I notice that I'm drinking a LOT of water lately. Should I be alarmed, I'm not becoming a fish perchance?? Hmm, I have noticed some thin openings behind my ears, I wonder what it all means.

    Hey there beautiful people, do you ever wonder if people are just naturally scattered, or just never learned to write? Hmm, maybe I'm taking this English major thing too seriously! May the orcs bewitch you. TP

    Oh how I like to spelunk in the 1-2-3, deftly, I avoid the trees. I like it best undermound, safe from the threat of falling pez, and the putrid, ripping sound. I keep my nits about me, in case I stumble upon the great wooly Gnu, who prefers to lure the unwitting into games Uno, whilst sipping his cesearean tea. One must take care, venturing into the dip forest...

    The toad and the hermit sat on the beach. The latter said to the former, "farmer, have you a ladder?" A fish nearby heard the scuffle and deposited the maritime board of directors into the vomit. "Please don't swim too much. The vomit cannot sleep well." The vomit slept. And sleep it did, as it slipped on itself and ate the blue hemorrage without mustard.

    The purple people's chins may curl if cheese that's curdled is swallowed hole, though weaving bobbits grate the nerves, it is rightly so to sate her thirst. For tempers flare, whilst the boss doth glare, and the day keeps slipping away...

    The deep fried pez chuffs are capable, (under stripped laboratory conditions) of inciting high speed rhythmic gyrations, congruent with the yodeling of the boy scout oath, particularly among younger, impressionable sluts of the 1-2-3 toed variety. They (pez chuffs) are highly variable, volatile, and should not be administered in conjunction with pheromones, hormones, or strawberry quik...

    Yes, well, I met a goat on the net yesterday, unfortunately, it had Tourettes AND shin splints, poor goat. He said that the noblest aim in life, which one should strive for, was to be Hasidic, and acidic...

    Ahh, but far rarer still is the 1-2-3 toed slut. The mere rumor of it's appearance makes the Lotus butterfly couch potatoe look as common as a field mouse, (or Print Artist user). It's beauty is such that it shames even the most sublime of sights, (a 6-pack of Zima, and a bucket of rotisserie gold). As the egghead herself said, "Nothing Compares"

    Which leads inevitably to the question, "What should one do" if one is of the unestimable good fortune to stumble across a 1-2-3 toed slut. First and foremost, one should give thanks. A sacrifice of some sort should be sufficient, spill a Zima, or offer up a sno-ball. Once this has been done, then only the most ostentatious display of conspicuous consumption could possibly attract a 1-2-3 toed slut. But if this fails, cry not. For the sight alone is a far greater thing...

    The Lotus butterfly couch potato is a rare beast. More unusual than the Lesser Spotted Ooja of Upper Sandusky (Ohio), more beautiful than the Olden Golden Beer Drinking Goat of Mishagi Float (Florida), and less often seen than the Manic Exploding Harvest Fish of the Eastern Hills of Nebraska.

    The Leading Edge Mouse is another example of what a fine thing nature is, and why the three finger salute is inappropriate for small children. We touch all of these smoking trees with the fork. Three times I have ventured forth into the sound blaster environment variable, and each time I was ejected for not bringing the DAT.

    Batch files are most often eaten by these little boogers; especially their brake-dancing behaviors cause us no end of upset over these very issues. Jesus himself is often seen skiing with Elvis, five times in the month of November alone. Though of course he wasn't alone - he was with Elvis.

    In the past has been know to keep company with the Dreaded Stranger On An Ostrich, although neither of them have a break-dance move to boast about at the moment and one can't help but wonder that maybe if Jesus Christ had gotten laid a bit more often Planet Earth wouldn't be so uptight at times.

    Even so, fun has never proven to be hard to find.

    Isn't 5W overdoing it? Space limitations is a concern. I would use SMT if it would only handle the current.

    You'd have to to current limit them anyway, so sure, use 5W carbon-film resistors coupled via chokes to the Vqp line.

    Just an output BUS (D7-D0). I suppose I could use pull-up resistors on the LEDs. Would that help?

    Faah... you saw that ribbon cable! Transistor in put is squat, but LED's are tricky... if you run them at 50mA like I do (not really!) Which BUS?

    Not too many, but I want something that can handle the input to a 2N2222a or equiv., yet drive an LED so I can monitor the BUS. I might also have to run the BUS a good 12 inches, so the more current it can handle, the better.

    Overheard this morning

    I swear I heard Brian say "I am the interface goat" to someone on the phone.

    Well, maybe he was saying "I am the interfaith coat". That would make more sense to me.

    No no no. I'm sure he said, "I am the Trans Europe Express"

    (No, Emu. No 'I am the walrus' jokes!)

    A guy installed a new hard drive so he can get 15 colors or 512 colors on his monitor. Can you imagine this guy is a Packard Bell customer :)?

    The Forbidden Zone

    Leaves your laptop so clean you could eat off it. Due to my recent exposure to the film "The Forbidden Zone", I thought the best way to evaluate it is to have others evaluate it for me. Feel free to score yourself. As there are no incorrect answers, feel free to massacre your own brain (Grandpa).

    1. The film "The Forbidden Zone" is a film that features:

    2 The now-famous musicians that performed the musical score to this film were known as:

    What? A bag of peanuts? You must be slarthied! The peanuts are really the offshoot of a flying lemur foot.

    The lemur foot is on video, and it is a game where you put on a concert. You can put in your own favorite music cd. Then we digitize the waveform and sen it to a star about to go supernova. It will then explode, but I will shuint the energy into a garbage can shaped like a capacitor. Then I'll try to follow the road to a little house in the desert. There I will find a small, shrivled asian man with a big nose. He'll tell me to drink tea. Then he'll send out a small airplane in which tiny little bags of peanuts are contained. Ouch.

    Actually, they are just confirming (a la paraphrasing) that you said "boot- disk" as opposed to "Map of Kamchatka" or "Vasco de Gama". Perhaps you were chewing sunflower seeds when you speak? Maybe you have a speech impediment?

    I tend to use the phrase "startup boot disk" or "start the computer from a floppy disk"

    but if you tell people it's a mammary manager
    they ask you if the game comes with a bra...

    Hey, what? We know better. The earth _IS_ flat, and UFO's come out of the holes at the ends, where the ships fall off the edge. This is public knowledge and truth that the government, especially the Franchise Tax Board, is trying to cover up. Why our school children have to be brainwashed with this nonsense is totally beyond me, and why some adults even today continue to spread this misinformation about the alleged sphericality of the platform we live on is completely inacceptible. We cannot stand for this kind of mindless false paraphenalia to be passed.

    Then we will bury the box underneath Frank's parking attendant booth. 100 years from now, our grandchildren will unearth the box and marvel at all the 100-year old artifacts which shouldv'e gone upstairs.

    basil plants

    "Yes! I'll take several," replied Grayson. "I have a cute herb garden which would be perfect for them." The E-mail was discreetly sent to Mr. Oatannan in the back of the Art Department. Upon an affirmative reply, Grayson dropped by the Art Department after work to pick up the herbal flora.

    "I really appreciate this," replied Oat. "They've been dying since I installed my new de-ionizing atmospheric alpha-wave particle reducer. I'm sure they'll be fine in your garden."

    "Yes. They can keep the chives company, ha ha." Grayson politely thanked Oat for the plants, and departed on his way home.

    Grayson Carlisle appeared to be your average good-natured employee. He loved working for the Company, and was never without a smile on his face or a happy greeting. The basil plants, however, led a second life. What people didn't know was that there was more to these shy innocent grass-like lifeforms than meets the eye.

    He arrived home with the plants, plopped them on the kitchen table and started to prepare his dinner. Soup. He added a dash of cloves, only to be startled by a soft rustling sound behind him. Turning around, Grayson looked for anything out of the ordinary. "Maybe it was just the boiling of the soup," he thought. Chop, chop, chop. The beef was cut into small tiny cubes. Then came the potato, Dice, dice, dice. Now come the chives. Snip, snip, snip. Again, Grayson felt uneasy as there was rustling behind him. He cut some more chives. The rustling became louder and more profuse. Clenching the knife in his hand, he whirled around, but saw nothing. Heard nothing. Not only was it quiet, but his basil plants were gone.

    Thieves? Grayson's first instinct was to call Oat. But why? What could he do? And who would want to steal the plants? Grayson felt a wave of insecurity. The thief might still be in the house. The doors were locked, the window bolted, and the dog was dead. Terror overcomes one when unexplained events occur. He was sure that he brought the plants home, so he thought. SPRITTTTTTZZZZZ! The soup overboiled onto the hot burner. Turning off the heat, Grayson pondered the plants. This really bothered him.

    Going to sleep wasn't easy for him. It's not that he cared about the plants, but he still shivered at the thought of the disappearance. He turned the lights out and cuddled under the covers of his large antique bed. He was dozing, almost asleep, when he heard that familiar rustling. Rustle rustle. He sat up, enbalmed in a cold sweat. Rustle rustle. It was coming from the kitchen.

    Grabbing the nearest heavy object he could find, his hands landed upon a small marble statue of John Lennon. Down the hallway. Rustle rustle. Burglar coming for the cinnamon sticks? Rustle rustle. What if he's really really big? Rustle rustle. The kitchen.

    The rustling stopped. What stood before Grayson was unexplainable. The basil plants were on the counter, in their cute little Oat-Oatannanlike pots. Grayson was no longer scared, he was mad. Someone was playing tricks on him. He picked up the potted herbs to look for fingerprints.

    WHAAAAP! "AAAARGH!," Grayson screamed. The basil. The basil leaves grabbed his hand, piercing the skin with some kind of sharp instrument. As if thousands of tiny teeth just bit through his forehand. An unsuccessful attempt to shake the plant loose resulted in excruciating pain as his hand was ripped apart. Laughing. Someone was laughing. This was overwhelming. He stumbled to the kitchen and clutched the knife he used the night before. Digging the knife into the basil plant, it shrieked. Grayson was about to take a second lunge into the plant when something grabbed his hand, causing him to drop his knife. A hand had reached out of the soup pot on the stove and clutched his right arm. The light was dim, but Grayson was able to look inside the pot. It was Oat Oatannan! And he looked mad. Grayson was caught in between a mad plant and a guy in his soup pot. Leaving himself with no alternatives, he blanked out and became unconscious.

    The light was bright, and Grayson perplexedly awoke on the kitchen floor. As he came to his senses, he immediately grabbed his left hand. No scars, no pain. The basil plants were on the table where he saw them the night before. The soup was still in the pot on the stove, cold. All that remained from last nights alledged dispute was a bad memory.

    RINGGG RINGGG RINGGG. The phone. Grayson picked up the phone and answered it with a groggy, "hello..."

    "Hi, Grayson. It's Oat. I've got some old crap I need to get rid of, and was just wondering if you wanted some stuff before I haul it away to be recycled."

    "What kind of crap?"

    "Oh, I've got some old dishes, an end-table, a small refrigerator, a small marble statue of John Lennon --"

    "AAAAARGH!" Grayson dropped the phone and ran to check his bedroom. His small marble statue of John Lennon was nowhere to be found. Grayson again found himself unconscious.

    Shakespearea

    The "you rang" euphamism is in reference to Lurch from the Addams Family (the tall ogre-like servant who always answered the Addams's bell with "you rang". Note that the bell was a horrendous gong which echoed throughout the house. Whenever one of the Addams needed lurch, there was always a bell-rope conveniently hanging around.

    Maynard G. Krebbs. Now there's an interesting one. This is a reference from "The Many Loves of Doby Gillis". Maynard, played by Bob Denver in his younger days (Gilligan), was a hapless (hopeless) teen. He was your typical pre-beatnik type person. He had a goat-tee if I remember correctly. He always wore worn-out sweats and had messy hair. Extremely lazy. He was your typical loser, but he was probably your best friend. Doby was always a heartbroken lad trying to make his relationships work. Maynard was his friend who was always giving him corny advice. His main coined phrase is the word "WORK??!!" in a high-pitched squeeky (startled) voice. (Must be used in context:

    Doby: We can earn the money, Maynard. All we have to do is work for it.

    Maynard: WORK??!! (With a scared-out-of-his-skull expression). )

    As far as putting the two together, I have no Idea what the < $#%$& popcorn expletive > Bob is on about. Both Doby and Addams Family were early-60s Black & White sitcoms. Both Lurch and Maynard were secondary characters which made the show essential. They had their own trademarks. It would be like Wayne's World without the Partied-Out dude who was puking. It would be Airplane without that George "There's a sale at Penney's!" guy. It would be like Sanford & Son without Grady or Aunt Esther.

    These characters are not necessary to the plot (usually), but the show wouldn't be complete without them.

    I have no idea what that "Binky" reference is.

    Maynard G. Krebs and Lurch. Two diverse, well spectrumed TV characters with the same signature line. What are the odds?? (actually, they are 100%, hind- sight being what it is [no, Binky, don't go looking])

    Oops, pardon me. Obviously you lurch all the time
    That's a step up. I thought you leached all the time.
    Pardon me. That was rude. I leek all the time.
    That's the beauty of the back deck. It leaks whether or not it's raining.

    Why, is it raining?

    #9, yetti, and flying hermits

    So what you said is that your dog might not like thermal SCSI soup. But that's not taking into account that the spaghetti is a yetti and Doris is a florist. If the florist eats the soup, then the dog doesn't (can't?). If the canine is benign (not asinine), then the #9 GXE is PQFP and DOA (except in Windows when the S3 is C3PO's daughter).

    Said the hermit to the fly, "Why bother me instead of your uncle?" The fly replied, "You are better to insult than my uncle. Please flap your wings and become illiterate, you dumb hermit!" The hermit became irate and swatted the fly. But the fly was quick to judge, and easily buzzed away. The hermit became lonely and developed crabs. He cried and complained, but no one would listen. Then one day, the fly returned. "Please don't fly away, mister fly," said the Hermit. "Okay," said the fly. So the hermit swatted the fly and killed it. Now the fly would never leave.

    I've got a blue-green pigeon extractor with Nevada plates. I have no style, so I'll pass gas on whoever can use it the most. My table is in the blue- green lunch room. I'd put it in the front office, but there's heavy radio frequencies emmitting from the MIS department which is inbetween the lunchroom and the front office.

    There's a blue-green programmer that lost me when his t-shirt exploded. He's not my style so I pass him onto whoever can use him, whether for the recalictrant hosebeast or kid or whatever.

    I admit it, I did it. I used it to make a Molotov Cocktail for my cockateel, because his Ferrari was too blue. Can you sympathise with me? I think so - I was driven not by greed, but by my desire to do right to the universe. It might not seem like much, but Johnny (my cockateel, to be sure) has always been important to me, and been the guiding light in my search for meaning through all of this, and ever since Bob Denver blessed him he's not been quite the same.

    What, you mean you missed the message? If you take 289 which, when added to 103 (the total found by summing all of the randomly typed numbers) and then added to 274 (who's digits add up to 13, a devestatingly important number to numerology!), you get 666, the number of the beast. This should have clued you in that the number 289 was important. Indeed, your message contains a hidden message from Satan himself! 11, 5, 34, 15, 7, 10, 22, 19, 15, 12, 1, 3, 3, 107, 1, 1, 3, 8, 5, 7 add up to 289. If you take each number, starting with 11, and go that many spaces into the message, write down the letter, then go the next number of charachters from where you are, and so on, you are revealed the following secret hidden demonic message! -

    Well there you have it! I've been clicking on the Lebensraum button and selecting Liechtensteinoitiskven, which obviously isn' t the right selection.

    The default "list seperator" character defind in German Windows 3.1 is a semi-colon (';') rather than the comma (','), which is the default for the English version. Apparently, this is stopping the application from correctly parsing the path statements in it's INI file.

    To change the default "list seperator" back to a comma, all the user has to do is go into the Windows Control Panel and open the International settings box. They will see an edit box labeled "list seperator". (In German, you just open the Landereinstallungen settings box, and you will see an edit box labeled Listentrennzeichen)

    Yeah. You gotta hand it to the Germans. They build great Lebensraum buttons!

    I watch the rain hit the window. Pitter, patter. Splish, splash. All of life can be summed up just by watching the rain. And it makes me think of the one most important think to man: I gotta take a piss.

    Personally, I think the best way to handle this would be to remove all the cubes so that they no longer obstruct the windows. All you have to do is have us all sit on the floor of the office, like we did for our first department meeting! Yeah, that's it! Just give us a phone and a call log, take away the cubes and computers and we can be just as effective, and at such a lower cost.

    No job is too small for Squeegie 2000! Cubicles in the way? No problem! S- 2000 with its patented Extend-o-matic arm reaches the tightest places. Even Tammy's underside! How much would you pay? Don't answer yet... cause we're also including this free set of steak knives, absolutely free.

    Yeah, like our cubes???

    One day, there was a wee little mouse running up and down the server box. One day, this mouse was stopped by the big and angry Linux.

    Well I figured I'd try and piss off your DNS. How R things, etc etc, hope the leg is better, the wombat here is fine thank you. My car was run over by a flatbed and I am now driving an 88 Pulsar, T-tops and all. Hooha. Now to put a stereo in it :( Ack.

    Which I did, hmm, 400 watts thereof. It's loud, ya, even with the tops off. Scares me a bit, but hey, why not? :-) ... next time I can do it even better. Wonder though if that'll be an SE or a TT ... hee hee.

    Hope your computer is better, full stop, the grass is much greener now that we killed the monkey, winebeast. Five times.

    How is the CD-ROM chase going? Six. Nivensteen. Okay already.

    snivelling Droop froggie frog (PSQ)

    One day, Droop Froggie Frog decided that he needed something to eat. He wasn't sure what exactly he wanted, so he thought that he would go out and look for something good, to see what would catch his fancy. Now, Droop wasn't a fancy sort of guy, fairly simple in his ways, as he was a wombat farmer by trade. Farming wombats isn't much of an avocation, really, but it gave him his simple pleasures in his simple life, and he kept the kangaroos from porking the wombats too much. But that's enough about Droop's Wombat Farm, at least for now.

    As he strolled down the street of his small north-eastern south American coastal plain town (figure that one out!), his eye was caught by a great many opportunities, a wide variety of places at which he could stop and eat. There were of course the multitude of fast-food places; McBungles and Freezer King for example, multitudinous in their multitudinousity.

    However, Droop had a hankering for something different. He wasn't quite sure what it was, but each place he passed (Benny's, the Internoodlenal Haus of Pancreas, Lewistotle Carroll's) didn't quite strike his fancy. He couldn't make up his mind as to what watered his mouth, but it wasn't anything he'd seen so far.

    Finally he walked to the end of Breakfast Row, so called because it housed the majority of eating places in his small southern Iranian inland port town, and was still empty-handed and empty-stomached. As a matter of fact, part of the problem was that he was empty-pocketed as well, so he rolled over a couple of old ladies and stole their purses. With money in hand, he walked into the nearest door, and ordered five of the greasiest womburgers the womburger stand could give him.

    Nostrils

    Bernie turns to the Quam, and belches loudly, announcing the forthcoming of all that is dental and good. The Quam turns to me and says "Yup, it's them nostrils again. Without em Bernie would be toast."

    I harken back to an earlier day when it wasn't as late as now, and then point to the sign on the wall which reads "This sign is on the wall, ya fool."

    Ah, these were the days, those were the frays, this is the kumquat-beating ritual of the Zibingorian tribes of eastern nostril hairs. Five times they slay the evilness within, but each time it rises from the bread like some sort of yeast creature; finally, it dies the ugly beepy meltdown death of stack overflow machines and then binary splits the eggyolk into a banananana.

    I think I got too much sun this weekend - we went out for a drive in the dark last night. I should have opened my eyes to the rainfall of the cloudless and dry night.

    i AM the finder / flap

    all that is lost is no longer lost again, for it is found by the finder; the systemic system of seven ness and all that is not six. five one two, other than three, power, yea, power to the peeples that are found by the finder, that is no longer lost.

    The single toad nasal array allows the common frog to hurl snot at flies up to several hundred meters. Metered snot is $4.95/mo plus usage, otherwise it's $9.95 for a flat fee. Which comes to show that frogs with flat feet blow parking meters out their noses.

    That would be purple book, not red drive. Red drive is a description of me in my car on a sunny day, or what happens to the network when the fans die. The Counsel of Twealve is the fourth root of third, as is seen on four-speed transmissions broadcast through the vehicle network by Gary Numan.

    The parrot-y drives are used by the dingle toad sonar array; this allows the frogs to see in the dark, and feel around the floor without the enhancement of the array of the original diskettes.

    I believe that was Council of Twelve, as in "The Shoon". And 12 drives in an array provide for parity, parrot, and Stalin checking. Red drives, as they're called.

    They were triplets, each named Hector in the interest of backup; if one was down for system maintenance the other two would take over. The computers in the Space Shuttles, for instance, are modelled after this very concept of having three squirrels. They are the council of three, like in Battlestar Galactica.

    I once knew several squirrels named Hector. They went noodle hunting one night and were never seen again. Then again, Hector weren't your ordinary squirrels.

    Well, the squirrels changed the system settings through the maneuvering windows. Restart the fish after clicking on the gnu button, that will pull it from the river. The goat is not good here, you must wash the buffaloon first. Snidely we waste the sundries of homeopathic time travel, nine nine.

    Localistaion of the field proves nothing, my man, except that futility of the greatness is over-exagerrated.

    I believe they were dropped around the same time Rome was discontinued. I also didn't see the Hitch-hiker promotion (stop a car, get a coupon) or the SymASPCA promotion (spay or neuter your pet and get SymHealth free).

    cc: Marketing
    bcc: Flea-Marketing
    I take it Carrier Pigeon and Fledgling Wombat, my two favorites, are discontinued?

    Chocolate goat fish

    What are they and how can they enhance my personal life? Do they come with a sales demo? Is it performed on-site?

    Surprisingly enough, they aren't chocolate, they aren't goats and they aren't fish. They are vanilla sheep dolphins.

    To feel the power of the vanilla sheep dolphins, simply meditate for 6 straight minutes while chanting "I am a Lumarian. I can fly." The truth will then be told.

    Home demos, however, are available, for a limited time. Just call our toll free number, 12.

    Sample quantities only, please. Remember that an average room will need slightly more than two carpet tacks, and that the professional model used as a fish test dummy in our footage will be replaced by Mary Lou Retton's Dancing Wombats (tm).

    Straight seven, six feet, eleventy-elbow. Wipe.

    Them Globetrotters - she WAS the suggestion. Weakmindedness is for weakminded people, laziness is for lazy people. She was for all people, or at least those who could afford her. Weakmindedness is for the lazy; laziness is for the weakminded. She was for all causes great and small.

    Nine festivals, mein championship kampf chow. Drugs are for the weakminded and those who cannot dare to elevate, and evelate, and Evelyn. I knew a girl like that once, who had suggestions about disk sizes, and fixes and headlichen.

    Many things explode when inflated improperly. Nostril hairs, for instance, are famous for requiring excess amounts of grease before being able to mount indecisively. On other days my diary indicated a desire to preflate the loan balloonettes; strange german noodlefish have approached me about the possibility of commercially stroking such a wildebeest nine times.

    Still, overall, the solution is better than the surgical alternative; and technomusic makes Geeshbat wet himself.

    The Cranial Spigot Factory, a division of the Pirate Squid Club, released a report today, finding that the Nazis of WWII and the typical NBA-approved basketball are, in fact, one in the same. These finding were the result of a two-year study, based on the following facts:

    1) Both Nazis and basketballs explode if overinflated.

    2) This explains A LOT about Magic Johnson's contraction of the HIV virus.

    The report further stated that in recent months there has been a push to establish more white basketball players in the NBA. Several attempts have been made to lower the hoop-height to 5.5 feet, but all have been rejected by NBA officials... so far.

    Yah, but I have heartburn (and liver burn, for that matter), so I skipped the fishes.

    Did you not in fact forget either 17% horseradish, or 71% noodlefish??

    I have re-evaluated the nature of official responses, and have found them to be composed of 25% kapok, 25% folderol, 25% olestra (non-staining variety), and 25% piffle. This takes into account the very wheezy nature and metaphorically high-caloric nature of official responses, and meets or exceeds every standard of top-flight bilgewater. Carry on.

    It is all that and so much more.
    It is all encompassing.
    It is everything.
    SPAM=Skunk Possum And Meow

    Big Beefy Temptress
    I can no longer remain
    Vegetarian

    Well if Spam is to be worshipped, it is, in fact sacred. And we must never let what happened to the "Long" Boxes happen to Spam, the turmoil that would be created would bring devastation and plague for the decades to come.

    "Little slab of meat
    In a wash of clear jelly
    Now I heat the pan"
    ----- Book of Spam;1:3.

    Spam should never be considered sacred. Worshipped, perhaps, but never sacred.

    In the ancient BabbleOnAndOnian tradition, for instance, the cardboard boxes that compact discs came in ("long boxes" for those of who've spent too much time in music stores) were considered sacred. They were venerated, and consecrated, and never secreted.

    Can you imagine what happened to this society when the long box was abolished and the plastic wrapper came in? Absolute cultural devastation, that's what. Within a few years the population was decimated, all because of a lack of desire to change their long-standing and ecologically unsound beliefs.

    Moral of the story: Always keep ecological correctness above sacred objects.

    The gift can take many forms....

    Although the divinity of Spam is still open to question, when infused with a 65% aloe/avocado solution it does make a lovely anti-wrinkle cream.

    It's necessary to be frank in order to convey the sincerity of my feelings.

    'Nursing' Twinkies? I always wondered how the get that creamy milk-like filling in the middle, but really my dear boy, is this appropriate for email?

    I thought the moral of the story was: While you can kill two birds with one stone, you can kill a whole hell of a lot more with an accurate BB gun.

    "Free me!" the beacons of technology wail. Reinstall, reinvent, Reinhold, Judge. The cheese on the wall demands satisfaction from the giant nipple grater. Greater cheese has thus than a fish lay down it's eyes in the pan. Remove the eyes, poked out by the skewer of obedience. The skewer is not the sewer with dirty shishkebobs. Csicskebobsombrios. Cornhulio is in my bunghole. Bungalo Bill is in my cornfield. Twelve. Hey, Bungalo Bill! What did you kill, Bungalo Bill?

    Klingons are in my skull, raving and carrying on with eggbeaters and hockey sticks. The *.INI file options are to be stroked softly. Setup options are among the many offered to the extension-less recommendations. Files are loaded in order of precedence and load order; the manager is managed and floated through the setup procedure in the Look In Glass.

    Upgrade plans are in plans to upgrade the plans to waste the space of the waist, to the wastrel of the wastes of the South. The wicker hatch of the noodle selects the topic time and the modules are yet ot be displayed. Popping into alternate operating systems is the way of the future, the days of future passed. The other trick question is one of the graphics and the sounds, the donuts and the do-nots.

    Scanprot! He returns 32 to 1. And 25 or 6 to 4. The twelvedabeest mates in the springtime number field, dishing out offspring like a bad Seattle garage band. Share your turnips is not the same as Neuter your Dogs, and NO there are no flea dips unless you purchase a klingon $20 or more.

    Wipe twice, and carry a big stick

    The virus was spread by the sprad of the virus, and the disease was bought by the windows command interpreter. The interpretation here was that the command had been interpreted, and the quarter of the wave file that wasn't filed, remained vocacious of words invented by the interpretation of the command of the language virus -- very different from the lan-gauge virus.

    Stroking the wet beast with his hamlin hammer, Mark marked the mark with the mike, and miked Mike's mike with a passionate cup.

    Emblazoned with the message of messages, and messed with the messiah of messissitude, I employ the deployment of talk requests from John Lewis and his Mountain Dew Orchestra.

    Yes, but the torso later went on to become a major foosball player. Realistically, it should have been expected; after all the squirrel was a cousin of Larry Walantibo, better known as Larry Walantibo. And with that kind of ancestry, he could have just squeegeed the wueegee and off with the viper's nard-bioses.

    So the viper turns to the squirrel and says, "Noodle!!" But the squirrel is not amused, and chops off the viper's head with a razor-edged squeegie.

    "Hah!" says the squirrel. "You can't intimidate me with pasta!!!" The viper just sat there, his severed head just inches away from his throbbing torso.

    Dear n00neVlEWt Customer:

    Thank you for your interest in n00neVlEWt Siftware turnips. Unfortunately, due to the advanced nature of his Weitek Power 9000 Windows-accelerated chipset, your son is in fact too weird to be used as a SymDude. Instead, we can offer you an S3 Vision964 ElFish-accelerated goatcheese, not to be used in electrical work or firefighting.

    In case of the famed general protection fault in module OATANNA.EXE, you'll need to run the diagnostic package WATERBUFFALO.COM before initialising the keypad buffer system. You can do this through the Control Panel applet for virtual cheese, and treeing about the Eggbert Manager tree. In the CONFIG.BAT file, find the line about FISH=HIGH,UMB and the one about EMM486.RAM 4096 X=0000-BEEF.

    Also remember to disable the Point Manager in the Lisa Regurgitator box, by unchecking the invalid opcode. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call or write to the above numbers or address. Thanks again, and have fun!

    Symcerely,

    Dear n00neVlEWt Customer:

    Thank you for your interest in n00neVlEWt Siftware turnips. Unfortunately you're too dumb to deal with our product, so we're sending you a dead fish to compensate. Your questions are almost as nauseating as the smell of fish involved, and we suspect that your firstborn would have three eyes because you're married to your sister.

    If you have any further questions, please feel free to call or write your local clergyperson or go and make love to the moon. Thanks again!

    Symcerely,
    The n00neVlEWt Motorcycle Meatheads

    Dear n00neVlEWt Customer:

    Thanks for your interest in n00neVlEWt Siftware turnips. Unfortunately we know of no specifics to cheat in SymCity 6912 for DAT, but we can offer the following suggestions:

    In response to "These are not the 'droids you're looking for", you might try these hints:

    "You don't need to see our identification. You can go about your business. Move along."

    Or possibly the following...

    "Badgers? Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' badgers!"

    And if that doesn't get you anywhere, you might check out the Red Lectroids. If it isn't them it's Doctor Arthur Lemming of the British Dental Association. Thanks again!

    Symcerely Yours
    n00neVlEWt Tactical Sportism

    Dear Sir:

    Thank you for your interest in n00neVlEWt Siftware turnips. Eh well, you see, our plan is to sell so many of the SymClassics that we either sell off our old inventory, permitting us to use the space for storing llamas; or it is possible that we plan on selling the llamas to make way for more SymClassics (I'm not quite sure yet.) Hard drives are of course a commodity, much as llamas have been in times past, and of course the whole RAM issue (rams being sheep and NOT llamas) becomes further embroiled in a genetic fervor far too complex even for our SymLife program. Future releases in the SymSpoonerism line may include SymStrife, a strategic war simulation; SymWife, for those truly lonely, or SymKiefer Sutherland for folks who can't rhyme properly, and don't care.

    At any rate, your dilemma should be solved by the upcoming vaporware release of Weendowze 96: Alberquerque, which is not only impossible to spell but impossible to use. It disallows use of any microprocessor, except on Tuesdays, and spends all system resources (and its time) swapping stories with drinks with the swapfile (appropriately entitled BARFLY.PAR).
