you will be with funny hair. right. lets go.

I think I'm gonna be invited to appear on the Jerry Springer 
show.  I just have that feeling.  
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin  (lifestylings)

This was the best part.  "I'm not offended by the replacement of 
a kiddie cartoon show with lesbian porn, so long as there are 
clothes involved and at least one guy gets to enjoy it 
close-up-like."
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin

YOU KNOW, I don't appreciate this. I don't mind people 
suggesting that I'm a completely irrational, petty, pointlessly 
argumentative, misanthropic, sad little man, but there's no call 
to attack my spelling.
  -Nathan Winant

However, the love experienced in abducted is the only true kind 
of love: great appreciation of those with like minds, countered 
with spitefulness towards "outsiders" (even when that's us) and 
just a sprinkle of bitterness.
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin

Children, children.  <Alloni shimmers, and takes the form of a 
matronly prostitute.>  If some young boys don't begin to behave, 
I know some boys that will be getting a spanking.
  -Alloni Kramer

Doesn't yours have something to that effect ghx? If it does then 
set it and we can stop fighting over stupid things like word wrap 
and get back to meaningful debates on things like body fluids and 
your favorite color.
  -Garth

I'm uncomfortable with a major school of philosophic thought 
being named after me.  I suppose I could live with it, however.  
Thousands of years from now, people will make bad jokes using my 
name about philosophy.  That, if anything, is a good reason for 
me to exist.
  -Alloni Kramer

Speaking of Springer, I've recently been trying to get a bunch 
of the people I know out here to collaborate w/ me on some 
horridly sordid, convoluted story so we can get a on Springer -- 
I mean, come on. A free trip to Chicago, AND nationwide 
humiliation. You just can't BEAT a deal like that.
  -Nathan Winant

What is the SSPO? Sorta Secret Phonetic Omnipedia?
  -Gary Sommer

Oh finally I am loved for something other than providing shelter 
and food for the family. I mean even my bird bites me.
  -Gary Sommer

Did I mention that I found a site that sells "Invasion of the 
Killer Samurai Sluts from Hell" for $9.95?
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin

On my last day of work, my boss is planning on killing me and 
burying me under the trees out front so I don't reveal company 
secrets.  It was nice knowing you people.
  -Alloni Kramer

THIS IS PC POLICE  PC THUGS, TAKE THESE PEOPLE AWAY THEY HAVE 
BEEN THINKING OFFENSIVE THOUGHTS.
  -greyrose

I once knew how to read caps. It's a shame really, that I've lost 
the talent.  I could be in real trouble here.
  -Felix

If you think that's bad, you should hear me and Celeste talk 
when we're drunk.  It's a different language than English, it 
just contains English words.  FEEEEEEEEEEEZE  
CHURRRRRRRRRGER!!!!!!!  FEEEZE CHURRRRGER NOWWWWWW!!!  
translation: "I am hungry.  Take me to the nearest drive-thru."
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin

You'll regret that. It'll be too late when you feel Mary's 
breath on the back of your neck.  Her hot breath, making the 
hairs stand up. Her pert bossom heaving. And would you look at 
that ass. Uhmmm... sorry. What were we talking about?
  -Garth

Ever since I accidentally forgot to erase "Bart Simpson's letter 
to God," my mom's been emailing me twice a week with conversion 
attempts.  Let's see, I've been deluged with Christianity ever 
since I was a baby, and I still refuse to have faith in it (which 
is not to say that I reject it entirely, but hell, the same thing 
applies to Zoroastrianism).  But maybe an email with lots of 
biblical quotes will be the magic bullet that leads to my 
"salvation"... Arrggh.
  -Joshua Smith

Nonsense. I've taken too many hits off my bong and I couldn't 
open a tamper proof seal much less design one.
  -Garth

I'm feeling violent. Violent. Violence makes victims of us all. 
Violence is never the answer... No, always the answer. Kill them 
all. Kill them all!

"Attention, students: Today in the caffeteria we will be serving 
Soylent(TM) brand "beef-alternative" burgers. In a totally 
unrelated announcement, due to a sudden, inexplicable drop in the 
student popualtion, tuition fees will be increasing by twenty 
percent in the new year. Thank you."

I hereby christen myself BITCH. All pay homage.

This is a test of the emergency bitch system.  This is only a 
test.  Had this been an actualy emergency, I would not be 
speaking to you right now.  However, I might be yelling.
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin

Mr Excito -- not one not two not three not four not five not six 
but seven yes seven attachments.  I love my vibrator.  He is one 
of my oldest and dearest friends.  I've actually been thinking of 
retiring him.  I've had him for eight years now and parts of him 
are getting rusty.
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin  (doesn't that _hurt_?)

I have a special tool for crevices.
  -Garth  (that's why we love him)

See?  Just a sprinkle of bitterness makes us all feel so much 
better.
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin

I think my whole philosophy on relationships has regressed to 
that of middle school and early highschool... I now have crushes 
on girls, when they spend the night we are having a slumber 
party, uhm... i dont like girls that have ccooties and i can't 
remember anything else.
  -ghostxxx

Is this supposed to be a threat?  "Oh, well, if _you_ won't do 
it, I'll just have to get someone _else_ to do it.  That'll show 
you."
  -Alloni Kramer

It's actually pretty simple. If I could figure it out, anyone 
can. I think I just insulted myself.
  -Chris Wayne

Maybe my gimmick could be that I broadcast naked, from 
horseback.
  -Nathan Winant

Consider the unstoppable fighting force that is the Swiss Army. 
No other army on earth can walk out onto the battlefield and 
open cans, tweeze their eyebrows, pick clean their teeth, screw 
and/or unscrew both flat and phillips, and when the fighting's 
all done, sit down and file their nails. Not to mention open beer 
bottles! The handy corkscrew is the secret of world domination.
  -Chris Wayne

You cannot fight a war with the little scisors.
  -grey

Actually, you can, as long as your foes don't carry rocks.
  -Eyedunno  

But, hey, the Force is strong in me, so I might as well waste it 
on cheap laughs.
  -Alloni Kramer

Is this that sarcasm thing?  I hear its ever-growing popularity 
is being mitigated by streams of abuse from the afflicted 
parties.  Still, a popular groundswell is massing behind it, so 
the popular support might carry it all the way into the 
Presidential elections.
  -Alloni Kramer

Hmm... You've given me an excuse to smoke weed today, despite my 
low supply, so... ...One wacky drug-inspired posting coming right 
up... Hopefully.
  -Eyedunno

Keep up the good fork!
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin

I've got an easier solution. A better solution. A RELIGIOUS 
solution. From this point forward, I am married to everyone on 
the Abducted mailing list. None of you may date or intermarry, 
for I am a Jealous Man.
  -Nathan Winant

I apologize for any complications this may cause for those who 
previously were jewish, muslim, hindu, buddhist, crystal 
cruncher, or any of those other make-believe religions, but hey, 
it wasn't like anyone was taking you seriously anyway. 
Similarly, I realize this may be a bit of an adjustment for our 
previously non-American friends/family, but let's face it, you 
were all slowly adopting the nationality anyway, McDonald's uber 
alles.
  -Nathan Winant

Can we still make snide remarks about each other and get a 
hearty laugh whenever one of us REALLY screws up, just like a 
real family?
  -Chris Wayne

I wasn't sure on the timetable. It's kind of like watching a 
Springer marathon; you forget who's a transvestite and who's a 
real woman after a while.
  -Chris Wayne

But imagine how weird it would be to have your mother explain to 
you how to satisfy a lover.  That's just weird.  I would have 
been traumatized.
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin

Did Gibo send you?  Where is Gibo?  He owes me money.  I know 
he's watching me.  Are you watching me?  Are you Gibo?
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin

Actually, I was engaged in creating a religion with its precepts 
being your statements.  Unfortunately, since you just told me not 
to do this, the paradox will slowly consume more and more of my 
processing power until I self-destruct.  Hopefully I have a 
backup somewhere.
  -Alloni Kramer  (aboot Chris Wayne)

Right. And you can use the USPS to send a Rhino to Brazil, but 
that doesn't mean that it was ever intended to be used to those 
extremes, nor should it be, nor is it really good for the Rhino.
  -greyrose

Not to cloud the issue with facts, but you can only mail up to 
70 lbs. So, you CAN mail a rhino to Brazil, just not all in one 
package.
  -Chris Wayne

Whoever did this, you're DEAD!  I mean simultaneously burned at 
the stake, hanged, disemboweled, and drawn and quartered DEAD! 
Oh wait, it was me.  I guess I'll just go for a public 
self-flagellation, then.
  -Eyedunno

Sounds good to me.  In fact, if ANYONE needs a Love Slave, I, 
like, dont have an plans for the next couple weeks, so... Not to 
mention I'm a hot daddy out for some Jedi lovin', or something. 
  -Eyedunno

Intelligent people usually have spare processing cycles, so you 
might not really have their undivided attention. Dumb people 
don't have enough attention to divide.  Just multiply.
  -Chris Wayne

You pay money for onanism? That's the saddest thing I've ever 
heard.
  -Chris Wayne

I think this list needs more nudity. I'm naked!  Well, apart from 
boxer shorts and a watch.
  -Eyedunno

I had to run down to the store to get some milk just so I could 
laugh it out my nose.
  -Garth

I think I should officially be the other white meat. Ask Nathan 
he's seen my legs.

I need to start posting again, so's I can make the quotes again, 
I feel so.. detached from you all, so out of the loop. 
  -Bean  (see!  it works!)

Oh, it's the sugar.  Oh, the tofu did it.  Oh, artichokes ate my 
baby and raped my dog.  And don't even ask about the quail under

My boss is being nice to me by participating in criminal 
activities for me. I always enjoy that.
  -Alloni Kramer

Really?  I know this guy in TX.SF.TX who's been quite a pain in 
the ass lately... No it's no one on this list.  In fact I don't 
really know anyone in SF outside this list and was shamelessly 
fibbing.  I just wanted to see how itchy your boss' trigger 
finger is.

I use Microsoft (tm) Fireplace 2.0b its more stable than ver 
1.0, but still crashes a lot. 
  -ghostxxx

What happens? Does the fire go blue? Does the house burn down? 
Does the fire take stock of your house contents and sent the 
details to Microsoft via smoke signals?
  -Felix

I need to borrow the upgrade from you then, my Fireplace 1.0 
crashed last night and toasted my cat.  but breakfast sure was 
tasty.

If you call me, and Michelle answers, tell her that she deserves 
a raise. I'd tell her, but then I would actually have to give her 
a raise.  That would be difficult, since I'm paying her nothing, 
and imagining her to boot.  Too many voices.
  -Alloni Kramer

yay.  happy again.  first eat sushi, then resub, then not kill

I like malt liquor. It's cheap. It's fast. It's painless. It's 
amusing, at least in the immediate. And it numbs you to your 
immediate surroundings, if not the world in general. In many 
ways, it's quite like television.
  -Nathan Winant

Did you know that until recently, I had no idea where to buy 
crack? Well, from strangers, anyway. This is whjere I'd normally 
say "But I digress..." But I'm not particularly digressing here. 
Either that, or this email is just one long digression. In which 
case the only "digression" would be to stay on topic. And there's 
no danger of THAT, let me tell you...
  -Nathan Winant

Yes, Nathan, you are a good chunk responsible for my being as 
loud and obnoxious as I am today.  You feel good about yourself 
now, don't you. You're sitting there saying, "Aw, yeah," and 
grinning.  Well, consider this.  You're replaceable now.  You're 
obsolete.  The human race doesn't need you any more.  You've 
created your own replacement.  And you know what that means - 
this whole thing will turn into a critically acclaimed horror 
movie that will sink without a trace at the box office.  You 
hear that, Nathan?  WITHOUT A TRACE.
  -Alloni Kramer

Besides, I would be lying.  As our Australian friends know, sex 
with a koala is a beautiful, wonderful thing, not to be ruined by 
cheap laughs in mixed company like this.  On with the program!

Sorry. You're about 80 days too late. I got married to a CPR 
dummy named Actar in my first aid class on September 21st.

I've just realized that I've been on this list for well over 
three years now, from a variety of different addresses. I 
remember when schwa still loved us. I got an email from Bill 
Barker once. I'm just so... *sob* nostalgic right now...
  -Bean  (waxing poetic)

When I go to a borg movie, damnit, I want giant fucking computers 
and machines and wires. I want alienation. I want a faceless 
society to mirror the one I'm spending seven bucks to get the 
hell away from.
  -Nathan Winant

All little girls have a crush on him. Michael J. Fox somehow 
seems to seamlessly combine the best aspects of a 12 year old boy 
with the best aspects of an electra complex.  Believe me. I 
should know.  =)

Dude. we had better start looking for pods. I think they've got

It takes time, but eventually you get used to depictions of 
gaping orifices and giant artificial genitalia surrounding you 
constantly.

That reminds me. I uncovered evidence of an international 
Zionist conspiracy. Unfortunately, I can't remember anything 
about it since I ate a ham and cheese sandwich. mmm, pork. The 
other white meat. There is no conspiracy.
  -Chris Wayne

Damnit, you're going to get quoted for that one, I just know it. 
I must even the score. I must come up with a line that alloni 
can't resist quoting. Uhm... Uh... "Jews are neat."
  -Nathan Winant  (he knows me too well)

You don't know that for certain. With Alloni, all things are 
possible. You're right, Jews ARE neat.
  -Chris Wayne  (putting him back in the lead - am I not 
  shameless?)

More likely is that at least one or two star destroyers are 
lurking nearby, and then we're going to see the Prime Directive

Feel very special.  Feel the love.  Feel the acceptance.  Feel 
the support.  Feel the squishy.  Feel the fact that I stopped

my cursor against the send button, sensually carressing your

Everyone in my family has used the same line on me as long as I 
can remember. "Garth, would you put the lights on my tree? Your 
so much better at it than we are." I always suspect that the 
truth is that they're to lazy to do it themselves and over the 
past few years I've turned out shoddier and shoddier work just to 
see if it has an effect. It hasn't. So this year I'm just gonna 
wad them up and throw them over the top. I'll chunk the ornaments 
from across the room and get tinsel everywhere but the tree.

Parents:  for some reason, my parents won't divorce because I 
asked them to.  I find this highly irritating.  If they loved me,

won't do it.  I feel unloved.

I'm getting some Mormons imported next week. I called to order a 
free bible, which will be hand-delivered by Church Elders (the 
one I talked to on the phone sounded early 20s, if that) who 
will talk to me about Christ. I'm trying really hard to think of 
a way to offend them (or even corrupt them, if I'm lucky) that 
won't lead to criminal prosecution or, even worse, constant 
harassment to mend my evil ways. So far, I've come up with the 
following:
* Leave pornography scattered over every piece of furniture
* Draw giant pentagram on living room floor
* Answer every question with "Satan compels me"
* Have a conversation with God or an invisible angel or demon
* Wallpaper my living room with pages from the bible
* Be extremely drunk when they arrive
* Invite them to an orgy
* Ask about their role in the New World Order
* Ask if Jesus was an alien

Official Story of The Founding Of Rome, Abducted-Style:  (Chris 
Wayne)

Mars didn't actually seduce the Vestal Virgin Rhea Silvia; she 
lured him using her grail-shaped beacon. When he discovered he 
had been duped, he naturally spanked her and, after the 
spankings, the oral sex. Yadda-yadda-yadda, twins. Her father was 
not thrilled about this particular virgin birth(s), so he put the 
babies in a basket and floated them down the river, where they 
met the baby Moses, who stole their rattles. The twins swore that 
if they ever founded a city which someday spawned a mighty empire 
and if that other baby ever became the major spiritual leader of 
a habitually subjugated minority group then they would get their 
rattles back, conquering, dominating, pillaging, and burning as 
needed. As luck would have it, they never did get them back, 
despite the conquest, domination, pillage, and burning.

The twins were rescued from the river by a she-wolf, who suckled them and taught them many valuable skills, like wearing sheep's clothing, huffing and puffing, and dressing like a grandmother. They were discovered by a shepherd, who raised them and taught them Latin, normally a fairly odd thing for a shepherd to do except in central Italy a few millenia ago. They grew up and decided to build a city. They fought over where to put it, and with no conveniently shaking ground nearby to guide them, they each started their own cities in different locations.

One day they got into a heated argument, and one brother killed the other. Of course, they were twins, so it was hard to tell who had killed whom. Legend has it that Romulus was the victor, and he named his city Rome after himself. In reality, Remus won, but with his brother dead, he no longer felt so competitive, and so completed the city that his brother had built and named it Rome in his honor. His orphaned nieces and nephews published several books about him and told of his glorious plan for world conquest by means of a contraption which he called the Tar Baby. He spent the rest of his life in a briar patch. Official Abducted Allpurpose Phrase Of The Month, The Sequel: (Terri C. Sheep) I was at extortion.com looking at the art and came across fear.jpg It has inspired me. It would seem that the phrase "it is fear" can be used as a reply in numerous common situations.

Teacher/Boss: Have you done such-and-such work?
You: It is fear.

Friend: So, want to hang out this weekend?
You: It is fear.

Repo man: I have to repossess all of your worldly belongings.
You: It is fear.

Alloni: I smite you.
You: It is fear.
Official Abducted Drug Trip Of The Month: (Garth) (does this surprise anyone?) We were sitting outside smoking when I suddenly knew that the most important thing in the universe was that I get a glass of orange juice immediately. As I walked inside time froze up around me. The air thickened up so that it felt about as thick as water and I was having to push my way thru it. I got my glass of orange juice but before I could drink it I knew that the most important thing in the universe was that I go lay down on the couch. Which I did. Leaving my orange juice behind. I think I knew I left it but couldn't stop my momentum. My friends were talking to me and it seemed like whatever they said was a day getting to me. Its hard to explain. Its like my short term memory had packed its bags a took a vacation. My long term memory had jumped in to help, but it gave everything that 'a while back' feel. I heard what they said but was to interested in the time distortion to talk about anything else. Official Abducted Self-Insult Exchange of the Month: (tween me an' Chris Wayne) I think I just insulted myself.

Don't take that kind of thing sitting down! Insult yourself back!

I'm afraid. I'm bigger than me.

That's why you do this kind of thing via email. No one is bigger than anyone else on the Internet. Just remember not to give yourself your real name, and you'll be fine.

It's too late. I already know where where I live. I don't want to get myself mad. Who knows what I'd do?

Use an alias, then. You've already claimed you're stupid, so you'd obviously fall for it.

I can't believe you said that. I'm so insulted. {Nah, I'd never fall for that.} [What's an alias?]

I'm simply agreeing with what you yourself said. You couldn't have any objection to that, could you?

There's going along with a joke and then there's outright rudeness. {Good point. My fault.} [Mommy, what's ob-jeck-shun?]

Official Abducted Amazingly Prolonged War of the Month: (between the Association/Establishment, incarnated as greyrose, and The Felix Army, incarnated as Felix) The Felix Army, in association with the Gnomes of Zurich, have frozen all your bank accounts and put ebola virus in all of your offshore operatives.

The real bank accounts have been liquidated while the Felix Army was wasting their time with the false ones. Our robotic offshore operatives are heading towards the Felix Army encampments to return their kind gift of Ebola.

The Felix Army was aware of the duplicity with the bank accounts, and made sure the correct ones were modified. Any available balance in the real bank accounts is given in Thai baht (ie. essentially worthless).

The Felix army operatives are immune to ebola; having engineered it in the first place, they also created the vaccine.

The Association sends tremors when the country of Thailand is bought by Microsoft, causing the Thai baht to skyrocket. The Association then sinks half of its assets into their bases on the moon.

The robotic offshore operatives have mutated the virus as to circumvent any known vaccine.

The Felix army was aware of this possible ploy, so conspired to buy all the distribution and warehousing chains in Thailand, and is currently flooding the supply lines with Netscape and Sun software. Microsoft stocks, and the baht, are currently taking a hammering on NASDAQ.

The virus had a "tamper proof" seal. When tampered with, the virus mutates into a bowel cleanser, providing the Felix army operatives with a ten year respite from bowel cancer.

That's ok, 'cos The Association and The Establishment still have our moon bases. Which we use to launch hundreds of thousands of Key Lime Pies upon the Felix Army, rendering them sticky, limey, and generally useless.

The engineers who were supposed to design the "tamper proof" seal had taken too many hits off of Garth's bong, and instead had it mutate into a "Bowl Cleaner." The Felix Army is innundated with hundreds of thousands of packages of Tidy Bowl, demoralizing them nearly completely.

The Felix army carry around with them instant beer gardens, complete with sky-bombardment proof outdoor umbrellas.

The Felix army have been trained to ignore demoralising forces, and instead launch into a rousing rendition of "Always look on the bright side of life", whilst sipping expensive champagne bought with funds stolen

Unfortunately, the variety of lime used in said Key Lime Pies is corrosive to all previously known sky-bombardment matrials. The troops get creamed, no matter what.

The robotic operatives (formerly overseas) then turn into schoolyard bullies, and punch each and every member of the Felix army in the nose while informing him that he is, in fact, a "sissy."

The Felix army employs the secret Nethack power of #WIPE to remove all pie before corrosion occurs.

The Felix army reports the operatives to the principal, and the operatives are detained forever.

Nethack commands are illegal under the treaty of Bombay, 1984. Felix, as leader of the Felix Army, is detained and tortured.

The principal is part of the Establishment. Duh.

The operatives go right back out to beat up more of the Felix Army while the Felix Army whines "that's not fair!"

That treaty became invalid when Bombay ceased to exist. The treaty of Mumbai however, allows full use of all nethack commands.

The principal was replaced by Felix army stand-ins.

The people being beaten up are also stand ins. The Felix army is currently bombarding the Association moon bases with Mariah Carey broadcasts.

Is not.

Is not.

You can't disestablishmentilize the principal unless you're a disestablishmentarianist.

The Mariah Carey broadcasts are reflected and twisted into Jim Carey broadcasts, bombarding the Felix Army with endless rounds of "The Cable Guy."

(Off "topic" : I just heard my coworker say something about "Can't you just get a piece of cable and tie her up?)

The Felix army regrets that it does not have a cable long enough.

The Establishment _always_ keeps plenty of category 5 cable around.

The Felix army believes itself to be above cable.

Above cable?

What kind of godless heathens ARE you?
