And yes, Arthur will rise again to save England in it's hour of direst 
need.  It's all tied up with Muslims and the third world war. And 
Gnomes, of course.
  -Felix

Ah ha! I suppose you didn't know about the Ley line concentrations 
under Silsbury Hill either? Or the fat lady publican just outside of 
White Horse who refuses to serve lunch on Sunday afternoons? "Oh no 
Sir, We can't possibly serve food."
  -Felix

Bah.  As enjoyable as it may be, accidental torching isn't as fun as 
intentional malice.
  -Josh Smith

I did get unsubbed. Damn those monkeys.
  -Bean

Woo-hoo! The Gnomes are talking about me again!
  -Mary W. Hodges

Yes, Alloni will be dancing because we'll all be dead. DEAD! DEAD, DO 
YOU HEAR? Mere pawns in his insidious game.  He gets to commune with 
the goddess and we're gushing blood on the floor. I'm not cleaning 
that up THIS time, buster. You can clean up your own bloody mess!
  -Mary W. Hodges

Then again, I'll bet there is a real market for soulless japanese 
raver chicks.
  -Elizabeth Leal

You gotta watch out when I get like this. The last time I was this 
riled up about an issue, I ended up anonymously writing documents in 
its faovr, changing schools, working undercover for three years and 
finally toppling the system to the ground. Basically, what I'm saying, 
is that I am emensely ornery and stubborn. But I'm sure none of you 
noticed that yet.
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin

You oughtta write a cookbook.  _The Art of Cooking the Author of the 
Art of War_.
  -Josh Smith

Get Robert Pirsig to ghostwrite it.  Call it _Zen and the Art of 
Cooking the Author of the Art of War_.
  -Alloni Kramer

Too bad National Masturbation Month was FEBRUARY.
  -Josh Smith

I'm much cuter when I'm frantic.
  -Jennifer Lynn Larkin

Well, good then. I didn't want to be the world's first undead maid.
  -Mary W. Hodges

Marry me and you'll have your very own undead maid.
  -Garth

There's always Garth.
Forever and ever, amen.
-Alloni 'n Garth am i the only one who think clitoris munching sounds painful? -Amy R. Dawson (dearly departed) You're not rid of me yet you bastards! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH..*crack*...ow, i think i've hurt myself. Crack kills, you know.
-Khanh Nguyen 'n Josh Smith Isn't it ironic that those of us who want to get away, can't and those of us who want to stay, keep getting kicked off? -Mary W. Hodges I'm gonna shut up now. -Josh Smith Donuts and Asteroids, supplemented with Finite Hyperbolic Space. "That's something my body needs anyway!" -R&J Gassaway I must now state my new opinion that all efforts toward the perfection of AI should be diverted to finding more efficient ways to use the old standards of pencils and paper. -Josh Smith Yes. Wetware. And since the man's brain is in his penis, it's wet in more ways than one. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin I got yer wet processor right here baby. -Khanh Nguyen Behind every good man is some bitch manipulating the hell out of him. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin It's Easter. Javier is rising from the grave. Err ... Jesus, I mean. -Fade Aw, come on. I'd vote for a goth chick with geisha hair to be galactic empress. Hell yeah. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin You don't want to leave abducted. Why would anyone possibly want to leave abducted? -Elizabeth Leal why does she want to unsub?! why is she leaving us?! I was just starting to actually LIKE her!
No kidding. She hasn't even had sex with us yet.
-Bean 'n Jonathan The Matrix rips off every great science fiction film shot this century. But it does it well, so it qualifies as "homage." -Jonathan Mayer (sincerest form of flattery) the cave which is guarded by the pudgy pink dwarf? -Jonathan Mayer I've been horribly mutilated by the boobs of death in my dreams, by the way. -Jonathan Mayer I have to have a liscence to carry concealed weapons, just to wear a shirt. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin You don't need luck. You need only wait for your body to recover its vital fluids. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin CGI is the new LSD. -Jonathan Mayer I predict ridicule. -Josh Smith I'm going insane tomorrow morning. Wish me luck.
Jesus, will that be a change...
-Alloni 'n Josh Hah. I got a French milk frother. "End Froth Frustration Forever!" -Terri C. Sheep Actually, that's not true. I want your secrets, Josh Smith. -Terri C. Sheep chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate ^easter chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate chocolate -Terri C. Sheep (she has a point) Would anyone like to join me for som eroast suckling pig on the verandah? -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Careful, or I will exhale little flapping birds at you. -Alloni Kramer It is bad to try to discuss your slight paranoia about internet trails with an exboyfriend that constantly interrupts and who was so paranoid in high school that he was nicknamed Little Hitler. Just thought I'd let you know so you could avoid it in the future. This community service message has been brought to you by Pumpernickel Cola, the only carbonated drink that tastes like bread. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Clearly nobody loves me anymore. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin (you know it, babe) Either that or Easter is a love-free environment. -Felix What about Japanese ravers chicks (assuming Nathan pays for the operation) with four souls? -Chris Wayne In dreams I have gills in my nose. Does that count? -Jennnifer Lynn Larkin When I worked in the porn shop, this guy came in about once a month to purchase magazines, usually dominatrix-themed stuff. His arms were maybe about 6-8" long and ended in two fingers each. I assume he was a product of thalidomide. They called him "Lobsterboy", but I preferred "T-Rex". Kids can be so cruel. We spent many a night trying to figure out how he masturbates. -Chris Wayne (mmmmmmmm. cruelty.) You can't base the foundation of an eternal empire of darkness and evil on cuteness alone.
And that my friends, is the biggest lie *ever*.
-Chris 'n grey But if you are cute like me, not just cute but using cuteness cunningly, evil domination is easy. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Do you smell bad after a few days? Are you rich with Omega-3 fatty acids? Do you ever feel like a cannibal when eating sushi? -Chris Wayne All right, I'll admit that cuteness can be an excellent tool, but it accomplishes nothing without some substance underneath. -Chris Wayne So why exactly would you want to explain the concept of blueness to the blind? Just for blatant cruelty? -Chris Wayne Just wait. In sixty or seventy years you'll be DEAD DEAD DEAD!!! muahauahaahhaha!! Vengeance is mine! -Chris Wayne Die, running pigdog lackey of the imperialist bourgeoisie! -Mark Doner (communist dogma is funny) I'm not going to stand for that kind of abuse. That's over the line. You better take back that part about running. The nerve. -Chris Wayne You aren't convinced. You must deny objective reality. Yay! -Mark Doner "But... what if the superuser is evil?" -Nathan Winant (ah, memories) Hey, if you can't deny reality, what can you deny? -Chris Wayne Gak. is my new word. I like it. It is spelled with a .. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Open your mouth when you lie. It's not polite to mumble. -Chris Wayne It's also not polite to lie. I don't let the more's of civilized society stand in my way. This explains my arrest record. -Alloni Kramer It is a well-known fact that security guards spend most of their shifts sitting around masturbating. This guard must have stepped into one of his own puddles, leaving ample DNA on his shoe. -Chris Wayne That's obscene. I mean, Christmas, OK, maybe, but Good Friday?? How many three day weekends do people get? To cut out a major drinking day, why that's, that's, that's SACRILEGE. And why just the Christian holidays? Every Jewish Australian should riot in the streets and demand alcohol, as it was promised by God. -Chris Wayne Heathen. You are suppose to drink red wine and envision you are bathing your internals in the blood of christ, for yea, salvation will soon be upon ye. -Felix There is no Area 51. And if there was, it would be a really long drive. I think it's like 400 miles from LA. Not that Area 51 exists. Because it doesn't. -Chris Wayne I feel morage outrage at your moral outrage. -Felix Stop whispering. You are causing Cyclones in Indonesia. -Felix I'm very devout. I went to a church a while ago, and whilst I was pissing in the holy water I had a revelation. A giant white light surrounded me and I was taken to this holy place where these huge-eyed angels prodded me with the stick of God and bade me to be good to others. I was then immediately commanded to cut the heads of 25 infidel muslims, and to gut 5 shao-lin monks and hang their entrails about the neck of the statue of the most holy mother of christ. On the way home I punched someone for no reason. For strange is the way of our Lord. -Felix I wanted Godzilla to breath fire. -Garth It's not as easy to get arrested around Area 51 as you'd think. The guards are just as likely to pull down your britches on the spot and paddle you something fierce. ... I mean, I _think_ it was Area 51... -Nathan Winant Clearly, Jen does _not_ believe in life after love. -Nathan Winant That's because I'm taking this Love and Death class this semester and I have discovered that love=death. Don't give in. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Everyone just be quiet for a few hours.
Should I turn off the train whistles and authentic Room-Swaying-Motion?
-Garth 'n grey I occasoinally get cravings for fake orange flavoring. -grey So we were driving through the desert, somewhere between Phoenix and LA. There's quite a bit of it, desert, you know. Out there. Between Phoenix and LA. And we were listening to the Red House Painters, which was tremendously depressing. So I opened the window, and stuck my head out. It was rather cold, as we were going nearly 90MPH, but it smelled really interesting. Like dry, like dust... I said I wanted to stop and pick up a rock, but Andre just looked at me like I was insane. I said I picked up rocks from the ocean all the time but i didn't have any from the desert. He just kept driving. That's your present. -grey It was based on "Emma" a cyberpunk screenplay written by Shakespeare.
And inspired by Elizabethan England, with minor influences by huge Alien Totem Poles.
-grey 'n Felix Hey's got a good point. Why aren't we talking about paranormality? What IS wrong with us? Our minds! They've siezed control of our minds! Zoiks! Let's get out of here! -Jonathan Mayer I want your life, Felix. -grey (vampire) Now, don't get me wrong here. I'm sure when SkyNet had completed the first T1000 prototype, it immediately thought to itself, "Cool! Now I can make all kinds of cheesy pissant cornball robots! Wow! THAT'll scare 'em!... Hey! I know! I can send a NUCLEAR SMURF BACK IN TIME! How deliciously KITSCHY!" This, then, is the true horror of the SkyNet future: humanity forever crushed beneath the iron heel of a flamingly po-mo sf soma cpu. -Nathan Winant Not that liquid metal microwave burritos don't have their applications, buuuuut.... -Nathan Winant He's gone. Must kill. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Clearly we need to advertise falsely more often. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin No. But I'm pouting until I get one. pout pout. sniffle. nobody loves me anymore. sniff. pout. and I'm so cute too. i just don't understand why nobody loves me. sniffle. pout pout. *SNORK*. oo. dainty. now my nose is running too. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Sorry, no. You've broken the Village People code of dress that is hardwired into The SkyNet Humanity Crushing System(tm!) -Nathan Winant Then what the hell is SkyNet doing flushing hundreds of pounds of it down the temporal toilet? I'm sorry, but the big SN strikes me more like the spoiled, middle-aged british rockstar type. Or Felix. Same difference. -Nathan Winant Stealth boat my ass. -Garth (command?) Need is such a messy word. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin He is purty. We could invest in a nice ball gag. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin (keanu, she means) At first I thought, "These girls are sick." Then I figured out what a ball gag was. Not that you aren't still sick, I'm just not as bothered by it. -Garth Actually The Village People originally had a giant bug, a dog and a cowboy. The giant bug went to prison after mating with the cowboy and chewing his head off. (The giant bug says he was framed and that it was really the construction worker who killed him.) They fired the dog because it wouldn't learn the choreography and he kept pissing on the amps. -Garth What if memetic hyper alloy is a controlled substance and to expensive for Skynet to score more than a few grams.
Then what the hell is SkyNet doing flushing hundreds of pounds of it down the temporal toilet?
A police raid.
-Garth 'n Nathan 'n Garth Tha was pretty close there Garth. If you said we aren't sick we'd be forced to -- um -- do something about it. Yeah. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin I'd like to be Skynet, and a spoiled (not so middle aged) rockstar. Then I could buy myself a castle somewhere out near Wales. I would have two or three rooms turned into a pub. There would be a massive sound system and dancefloor in the dungeon. I would invite abductees over for beer and music. I'd even pay. After all, I'm a rock star. Wouldn't that be cool? Kiddies? Huh? -Felix Well I know that its "ball gag" like "corn oil" but I first read it like "baby oil". -Garth Did you do well on the analogy portions of the SAT? *trying really hard to picture a ball gag* Hmrmmmrrnnn. -grey As surely as fruit flies like a bananna. -Garth The other day I saw a newspaper (maybe the New York Times) that called Milosevic "Slobo". Slobo. It sound like a clown hosting a kids' cartoon show: "Uncle Slobo's Playhouse of Genocide". -Chris Wayne Hobo humping slobo babe? -grey Put a bunch of schwa corporation logos on blivit. And a sign that says "Come to Abducted for a ride on the Pleasure Saucers"... -Josh Smith The Spice Girls would be so much cooler if they were lesbians............. -Nathan Winant ditto... is what I would say if I were a chick or gay or something. But I'm not, so I can't relate. sorry. -Kevin Was the dog Jewish? -Chris Wayne If you're going to be rude, you may as well be polite about it. -Chris Wayne For me, it explains a long trail of dead cops. That reminds me, I have to clean out my trunk. -Chris Wayne My next favorite is the one with the guy inserting glass rods into young boys penises and breaking the glass.
I think I speak for all men when I say: ouch.
-Jennifer 'n Chris I love the smell of Jesus in the morning. It smells like... victory! -Nathan Winant Yeah. You say that now, mister... WHILE I WAITED UP ALL NIGHT LAST FRIDAY FOR THE ABDUCTED SEX ORGY PARTICIPANTS WHO DIDN'T EVEN SHOW UP!!!?! Fine... I see how you are... -Michael Hale joy joy joy joy joy joy joy joy joy joy. happy happy happy happy happy happy happy. gliiiick gleeeeeek squaaaaaaak vrooooooom. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin (don't hide your feelings. tell us how you really feel.) I only heard one "woah" But you know. There is no "woah". -grey So, I guess that means I'm Godzilla. But Garth is Godzilla. Therefore... We are all Garth. -Chris Wayne (_now_ he gets it.) Somehow, I doubt that an encyclopedic knowledge of the workings of Middle Earth and the sacred rites of D&D would be much good against skull-crushing mechanical hunter-seekers. -Chris Wayne Besides, the comic says that God's kingdom will overthrow the governments of the earth, which are controlled by Satan. Since most of those governments prohibit drug use, wouldn't that imply that it's SATAN, not God, who wants to prevent us from using drugs? So this is really SATANIC PROPAGANDA, trying to turn us away from the holy work of the LORD! Praise Jesus! Praise His name! Can I get an Amen? I said, can I get an AMEN! For it is written: "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." (Matt. 15:11) Jesus wants you to hit the bong! Exhale through your nose! Keep your mouth closed, lest you defile yourself! Here endeth the lesson. -Chris Wayne No, no, no. Keanu isn't a lurker. He's one of us. Someone we all trust. Someone we would never suspect. Someone in a position of influence, possibly even power. Everyone looks up to this person. People even grovel occasionally. Someone who takes this opportunity to escape the madness that is imposed upon him by his screen persona to engage in madness of a different and more refined kind. Someone like... uh oh. -Alloni Kramer This is truly beautiful. My life is changed completely. Suddenly, new doors are opening for me and my heart feels lighter. I am overcome by the light. I see God in a new light now. He is all good and I mean that in the ambiguous way. Yes, the Lord is talking to me. I hear him clearly now. He is saying that I should follow him and follow his ways; that I should give up sin and get stoned all day instead. God, you see, is much misinterpreted and he is speaking to me to set things right. He says "Jennifereth, thou shalt follow mine laws. Thou shalt obey mine word. And when thou are done, I shalt have smote thee verily. So it ith written and so it shalt be-eth." (Urc. 4:99) Praise the Lord! I have seen the light! -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Oh, goody. "Hey, Alloni! Because of the fact that you're a worthless pack rat that when he gets into something obsessively purchases everything connected to that thing, even if every source assures you that you would get better bang for your buck from Velveeta Cheezy Dog Leavings (New! With extra cat gristle!), you've managed to collect enough items in that category that no longer have the slightest use to you, outside of really really uncomfortable toilet paper. I mean, I suppose you could reread them, but there's no point, since the mentality required to enjoy doing so is gone, and you currently have no incentive to get back into it, inasmuch as all the games you get involved in spontaneously selfdestruct 39 seconds after they start. Keeping all that in mind, you want me to grab a few more reminders of your pretentious past for you to add to a pile which is already large enough to break the backs of all the slavelike inhabitants of any latin american country? They're half price!" -Alloni Kramer I think SkyNet ought to make little tiny terminators and disguise them as My Little Pony dolls. I can't really think of a _reason_ for this, it just seems like it would be funny. -Nathan Winant That's how Satan gets souls, you know. He flatters them, and then sucks them out of bodies with a straw. A long straw. That's why you need such a long spoon, so you can stay out of straw range. I'm talking one of those giant pixie stick sorta straw things. That's why giant novelty spoons are so important. -Alloni Kramer My teacher said smote AND gnomes. It was a good day. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin i notice that the cure 'boys don'tcry' is on. about 2 seconds later, andre notices this, and about 2 seconds after that, chris notices. andre and chris stand, transfixed, staring at the monitor with the video, bobbing their heads and singing. at one point i was fairly sure chris was going to start dancing. they stood there until the song ended and then walked away as if nothing had happened. -grey (receiving instructions) Nah, all you have to do is defecate while having sex with your parents and a cocker spaniel at Yale. Lick an eyeball too. -Chris Wayne But I can't even imagine how I could get a lower score without getting humped by a dog on top of a coffin in a church, handcuffed to a geranium and singing the Star Spangled Banner, with the preacher burning a flag over my head and occasionally joining in.
*sigh* that brings back memories.
-Jennifer 'n Chris Woohoo! I suck! -Jennifer Lynn Larkin I seem to recall some mythology about a races of divine pincer-handed builders who helped to construct the universe. But I might be on crack. -Jonathan Mayer It's much harder for me to hit on you when you're not here. OK, it's not exactly *harder*, but it is much less effective. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Further evidence that Jesus was Satan: "Yes, we want you to stay pure until the sacrif-- mmmmarriage! yeah!" -Jonathan Mayer Chris Wayne, you're a life-saver!
Actually, I'm a tootsie roll.
-Josh 'n Chris I just said this to my mother: "Gay guys are usually pretty anal about their asses." Duh. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin So I'm driving along, minding my own business. On the opposite side of the road, an Amish boy, maybe 15 or 16, is riding a bicycle when he suddenly hits a pothole or rock or something and LAUNCHES himself over the handlebars, his little straw hat flying away in the breeze from passing cars. I laughed so hard I almost had to pull over. What would have been really funny is if he had landed in one of the myriad piles of horseshit which line the shoulders of every road in town. Damn buggies. -Chris Wayne (saint and scholar) Like "fucked a tree?"
What's wrong with that? We were young. I needed the money.
-Jenn 'n Chris Don't you mean "why buy the cow when you can exsaguinate it and remove its rectum and uterus with surgical precision?" -Chris Wayne I like the part where he's debating whether or not to eat the piece of foreskin. -Josh Smith I'm still waiting for my free CD, dammit. (Forgive me, oh great musical star. What I meant to say: Lo, though I am unworthy to shine your boots with my spittle, though your words come to my ears like the finest golden notes from afar, though you have the power to heal the sick and raise the dead, I still haven't gotten my free CD, dammit.) -Alloni Kramer Why does it not surprise me that you have a disembodied penis collection in your closet? -Chris Wayne (re: Jen) The best part is when I can say "Hey! I've got your penis under my bed!" really loud in public. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin What about explicit lesbian pornography involving dead fish? -Chris Wayne Life is easier when you cheat. Now must talk self out of cheating.
Don't try very hard. Remember, life is easier when you cheat.
-Alloni 'n Chris I wrote a faust story for my faust class a few years back. In the end faust is saved in that he isn't saved. He rejects god and the devil and rides off in a pleasure saucer to become an overman. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin My youth is wasting away in a beige cubicle in a gray building with no windows... That and various classrooms in this seemingly neverending torture chamber referred to as higher "Education". -Trevor Walton (pity him) Me and beaches don't get along. I'm too goth for beaches. Sunny beaches at least. I get along fabulously with room temperature overcast beaches. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Great. Now Jon's scaring the people with a sex life. Great. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin You know, on due reflection, it was rude of me to complain about not getting free stuff. I should have insulted your mother first. -Alloni Kramer I'm too pure to take a purity test to work out my purity score. -Felix Screw that. The road less travelled has no 7-11s. -Chris Wayne You should use a stable OS like Windows 98HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAsorry about that. -Chris Wayne Now what kind of father would I be if I didn't make you pay for my love? At least I didn't make you fight to the death with your siblings like I usually do. Nothing is worthwhile if you don't earn it. Fatherly advice, free of charge. Just to show I care. -Chris Wayne (logical dilemma) It is the nature of fatherly advice to be filled with witty aphorisms, cliches, and pointless anecdotes, yet be utterly worthless in any real sense, even outright self-contradictory. -Chris Wayne Well, you don't want it to be TOO deep. The horses could drown. -Chris Wayne But I meant that in a purely platonic sense. And I gave you the flavored condoms and whipped cream because I figured you'd like the TASTE. -Josh Smith No, I'd put that in my scrotum to look like a giant third testicle. Either that or I'd eat it and save the lens for later. -Josh Smith (eyeballing) I loved high school biology. When we dissected fetal pigs, the teacher said we could what ever we wanted with them once we finished our exams. So I turned mine inside out. -Chris Wayne Like what's your purity test score? Are you experienced? Are you Jimmy Ray? Are you Martha Ray? Are you Charlotte Ray? Pack up the code I'll meet you below Riding on the Metro-oh-oh. Bokka-chu bokka-chu. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin (waxing poetic) There's a chance I might become year-king. Reign as king for one year, having all my orders be carried out, and then get killed at the end of it to ensure a fruitful next year. I can live with that. -Alloni Kramer If you had a drug that would permanently, irrevocably change the way you saw the world, would you take it? Would you share it with your friends on abducted? -Jonathan Mayer In an interesting bit of irony, my ex-boss wants me to copy the copyright pages from Netscape. -Alloni Kramer "Chris what are you doing in there?" "Nothing Ma, just predicting the future." -Garth (must not slip into another Python war, must resist must be strong) I don't like them, they wet their nests. (damn) -Garth My truth's better than yours. Nyah nyah. Heathen. -Jonathan Mayer For all your laughs, I have enough RAM that my Win98 is actually fairly stable. So there.
I didn't realize that much RAM existed.
-Josh 'n Jen Well I'm guessing my eyeball is at least a BIT larger than my testes. I can't be sure, because I'm trying to project the visible portion of my eyeball into a spherical shape. A perfectly spherical testicle and an oblong eyeball tattooed like an 8-ball would still be neat. Or not. -Josh Smith Would you jump off the roof of a tall building if your friends did too? -Jonathan Mayer I have been promoted to head Gnomish underling on my continent. All must obey me. I have been told that one day i may get promoted to an Under-Gnome of the lowest class. Since becoming a Gnome, even the lowest class, is an honor, and since even the best human is below the lowest Gnome, I will accept the honor. -ghostxxx How about... Is the sentience behind the Matrix gay? Bet you haven't go that one. -Garth An eeeeevil gay matrix? -Jonathan Mayer The Matrix is evil, gay, and Australian. -Felix (adding on) I'm now afraid to read the rest of my mail... please tell me this didn't turn into a survey of the genital size fof abductees... -grey I'm being logical. It's baffling. I may try to escape the clutching claws of capitalism. On the other hand, I'm hungry. Maybe I'll succumb to the clutching claws of capitalism. Yes. Give in. It's so much easier. Surrender to the system, and the system will take care of you. Wait! There are pretzels to steal! I can avoid the ccs of c for a little while yet. A short while, admittedly. -Alloni Kramer But hell, everybody discuss your genitalia! -Josh Smith Barreling along through a maelstrom of broken peanuts, he lands in a strange area, not unakin to a grassy paddock. The eddies and flows of ideas and knowledge flow around him like a Hey, did you know that my pencil needs sharpening? There, I've done it. Now back to my candour. -Felix My response to nookie makes the file exactly 69 bytes long. Just thought I'd share. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin woo hoo! free nookie! that's even better than free ben'n'jerry's! -Jonathan Mayer I came into work this morning and noticed the word "veal" stuck to my monitor. -Felix I only eat cute guys. I mean food. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin I'll bring the cherries garcia if you bring the flaming sheep in wolf's clothing. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Hey! You there! Stop! I am a security gourd! You will bend to my will! Or I'm taking you out of it! -Jennifer Lynn Larkin okay. its all there. rape! pillage! pillory! -Jonathan Mayer My mom sucked. She believed that by cooking with herbs and spices, a person is doing the devil's work. -Josh Smith Whenever I see his name I always think of giant pickles. -Mary W. Hodges (re: gibo, gone but not forgotten) Gimmie address. I upload. I upload you long time. -Kevin When we're mocking midgets, how can Gary Coleman not be involved? -Alloni Kramer Actually, in _most_ cases (I will be leniant with everyone I knew personally in my former [present] life), the sacrificial offering of their 10th born child must be given to me every time we meet. Non-compliance will result in the smiting of one's relatives and the decrease in faction amongst the bearclaw and jelly glazed donut society. So sayeth the Under Gnome. -ghostxxx On April 27th, as thousands of kosovan refugees starve, let's stuff ourselves so full of delicious Ben and Jerry's ice cream that we puke milky-white chowder up in the streets! God bless America! Huzz-ah! -Jonathan Mayer Now, Ms. Chainmail Bikini, that's just going TOO FAR. some have called me a perl script, and others have suspected me of being any number of other people, but saying that Mary is not only me, but that she is a replication of my perl script? that is utterly out of line and uncalled for. -grey Proctocutioners Stoic sentinels in wait Rectal justice served -Nathan Winant (getting into the renga late) on the subject of fast food dudes, my theory about Dave Thomas, the Wendy's guy. He's DEAD. he's been dead for a long time, they're just putting clips of him from old commericals into the new ones. THEY don't want us to know that Dave is dead. It's all quite sad. -Bean This is clearly the case with Les Schwab (a rather plump and elderly cowboy tire magnet). They've got him stuffed, driving around in a jeep in the desert. He looks like a meat muppet. -R&J Gassaway Dave is supreme coolness. Wendy, on the other hand, is pure evil. Her stare! Her bone-chilling stare. Sitting at JFK airport, waiting for my flight back to Toronto, five cents in my pocket. A milkshake for lunch and no money for dinner. Torment. A candy store, and amazing candy store. And Wendy. Glaring at me. Taunting me. -Terri C. Sheep Hmmm... He *could* be dead. I mean, they are Wendy's people. *They* would be the very people behind the conspiracy. Yeah. "I met Dave!" Hah! Probably what she really meant was that one afternoon she and her dad were looking to get some kicks, so they went down to the secret tomb in the Wendy's Head Office to poke Dave's mummified body with sticks. -Terri C. Sheep So, let me get this straight. If I'm not polite to you you smite my relatives? -Alloni Kramer (sounds like a good deal to me) My high school yearbook is signed with death threats from various prominent mafia figures. I wonder what happened to those guys? -Josh Smith TELL ALL, NATHAN OF THE WOLVES. -grey I'd just like to point out that it's jm's left testicle, not mine, that we're talking about here. Just to make it clear. I'm rather fond of mine. I'd never trade them for less than an arm. -Chris Wayne I love you all. Each and every one of you. And don't let me tell you otherwise. And, while you're feeling good about this, can I borrow some spare change? I will gladly repay you Tuesday. -Alloni Kramer A goal in hockey is somewhat orgasmic. -Khanh Nguyen I would check with a ruler, but I'm at work just at the moment, and the accountant is doing accounting thingses, and she's new at the job, and I wouldn't want her to beome fearful of her chosen profession, and have to move into lion taming instead, and get eaten on stage by a lion, which would get her arrested, and then she'd rot in jail, and she's kinda cute, in a beaten-down-by-the-man sorta way. -Alloni Kramer Hmm. By that do you mean that you require money to eat? Hah! I laugh at you without ingenuity. There is one simple solution to this problem - eat yourself. If you remove a small chunk of flesh from a meaty part of your body, you should be able to feed yourself quite well for at least a day or two, depending on the size of the piece you cut off. In terms of preparation, I would recommend the barbeque. You want that smokey flavour. To that effect, I would also recommend Bullseye Hickory Smoke sauce. Of course, if you must have food, you can always turn to a life of crime. -Terri C. Sheep Now don't you start beating me up with Nathan's penis. If anybody's gonna do that, it should be Nathan. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Don't worry, baby. I'll change, I really will. For real this time. ... say, could you get me a beer, darlin'? -Nathan Winant Tell you what. I'll stop calling you "baby" if you start calling me "m'lord". Deal? -Nathan Winant I used to think heaven was eating raw fish directly off the quivering naked flesh of my favorite sushi waitresses. But that ain't nothing like a farmer's daughter with a rack ... of ribs. Covered in sticky BBQ sauce, of course. -Jonathan Mayer (mmmmmmmmmm) at 30-32 hours he started thinking he had a girlfriend, when in fact, it was a gnome in a rubber suit deployed for a recon mission to find out about Nathan's shoe powers. -ghostxxx Its a recent thing, my relative height deficit. Because gnomes are diminutive compared to humans, they told me I could only join if I had the portion of my legs below my knees amputated. you see, gnomes have so much power, that if they were human sized, their aura would literally warp the surrounding matter. If too many congregated, rips in space-time would occur. Last time the gnomes had a family reuinion, they created the current universe we live in. They refer to that event as the "Small Explosion from the party where Frank drank too much beer" -ghostxxx (being short and gnomic) It's weird. I was sending messages and getting nothing back. Like an unfulfilling lover. I've been pouring little bits of my brain into a void. -Mary W. Hodges "Somehow I knew things would never be the same after having my eyeball licked." -Terri C. Sheep I'm pretty sure it's Listerine. Isn't the atmosphere made of Listerine? You mean I've been lied to this whole time? -Jennifer Lynn Larkin I want to go to my 10 year reunion and have sex with at least one of the women I lusted after in high school. "The gyms over this way..." -Jonathan Mayer Normally, that would not be a problem, except you were talking something German, and inexactitude is a capital offense in Germany. The Germans are sort of anal about, well, just about everything. Or do you want to be extradited and executed under Article 47 of the Berlin Exactitude, Promptitude, and Rectitude Act of 1936? -Chris Wayne At work I saw a box "Synthetic Latex" gloves. I'm glad that no more innocent latex have to be hunted for their hides. They've almost been driven to extinction in the wild. -Chris Wayne I have a theory that male homosexuality is merely the search for a penis smaller than one's own for the deeply needed boost to self-esteem. -Chris Wayne My plans are to find true love around then, and, just as she starts to slowly return my affections, have her be mercilessly slaughtered by a homicidal lunatic in front of me, slowly descend into the pit of madness and despair where I wallow in my own misery, and finally rebuild my life from its shattered wreckage, leaving me stronger for the experience, but with a sadness deep inside me that will never be erased. So I'm busy the first 3 days, but outside that, I'm free. -Alloni Kramer Are you people insane? Pain, neglect, and suffering make animals taste better. That's why veal is so good. My great-grandmother firmly believed in that. You know how you usually boil a pot of water THEN drop in the lobster? Not her. She put the lobster in a pot of room temperaure water and slowly brought it to a boil. She'd put rocks on top of the lid because they would try to escape. This is the same woman who, during the Depression, bought birdseed instead of bread. She put it on the windowsill, waited for birds to come and eat it, then whacked them on the head with a hammer and cooked them. A lovely woman. -Chris Wayne Notice how, when it comes to penes, every quarter-inch counts. Too bad we don't do metric; we could get it to the millimeter. -Chris Wayne I've been pouring little bits of my brain into a void.
What a waste. Just think of all the starving zombies in Hati.
-Mary 'n Garth I have a theory that male homosexuality is merely the search for a penis smaller than one's own for the deeply needed boost to self-esteem.
Alloni, my one true love...
-Chris 'n Garth I'm gonna be shot by an anxious mugger immediately after my pet goldfish gets run over in a freak accident with a Mack truck. -Josh Smith Wow. Reminds me of high school football. Oh the memories. Rooting for the other team, wearing a paper bag over my head while rooting for my own team to lose.
In Australia, a "root" is a fuck.
-Jennifer 'n Felix You mean ... the "R" in R&J is actually a "Ron"? I always thought the R was the yang, not the yin. -Jonathan Mayer Garth, you lying hopeless weasel... (Gosh, I don't know what came over me there. Felt the sudden need to lash out blindly. Sudden surge of testostorone. Good thing it faded so quickly, too. Or else I might have gone to war with a small Middle Eastern country or other.) -Alloni Kramer All right, you're on to us. Men are silly critters. I admit it. -Chris Wayne Every now and again I look at myself, and say, Alloni, why can't you be normal? Why can't you be one of the teeming masses, indistinguishable, average, ordinary? Would certainly be more restful. And then I look at myself. And stab myself in the eyeball with a shrimp fork. Luckily, I have many spares. (Eyes? Shrimp forks? Probably anything. Spare change. Tulips, when he gets like this. At least we can keep an eye on him. That's where he gets the spares.) -Alloni Kramer there will be no pecking in the pelt room! -R&J Gassaway I'm a partridge family thermos. -Garth In my world, even with your definition, the words can be used interchangeably. I rooted to my machine. I fucked up my machine. -Kevin Christ, am I the only lunch box on this list? I feel so embarrassed. -Josh Smith Hallebrujah! All hail America, land of the Great White Satan <TM>! -Josh Smith I feel a need to come out of the cloakroom on this one... I am, in fact, a lunch box. All these years, making excuses... "No, I'm just a... bread box. A little square. But dammit, I don't have a matching thermos, I DON'T!" My attraction to those sexy pails construction workers carry, all the lonely nights waiting to be filled with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich... all that is over now. I admit it. I am a lunchbox. I AM A LUNCHBOX. Do you hear me? And if you can't love me for what I am, well... THEN I DON'T NEED YOUR LOVE! with matching thermos, and PROUD OF IT. -grey *sob* You can try to drive me out... but you cannot crush my lunchbox will! I am made of impact resistant high quality PLASTIC. Your words cannot harm me. I will survive. With my lunchbox bretheren standing... boxlike beside me, I can withstand the slings and arrows of your closed minds... I'm too much for this town, anyway! Hollywood, here I come! -grey Look, I'm not saying there's anyting intrinsically _wrong_ with being a lunchbox, as such. I'm not saying that lunchboxes are an inferior race that we can only despise. I'm not even saying the lunchboxes are unclean, ignorant, insignificant putrescences. I wouldn't go so far as to say some of my best friends are lunchboxes, or anything, but a couple of times I've spoken with a lunchbox and more or less successfully kept the sneer off my face. But this mailing list is... not right for lunchboxes. It just isn't god's way. Lunchboxes aren't smart enough to successfully participate in the intellectual discussions herein. They aren't civilized, poor fellows, and should be kept away from the enlightened people so they won't feel depressed at how little life has given them. -Alloni Kramer Maybe so. BUT THAT WON'T STOP US FROM ONE DAY CRUSHING YOUR OPRESSIVE REGIME! -Josh Smith I hereby declare the Revolution of the Lunchboxes. Viva Las Thermos! -Jennifer Lynn Larkin I'm talking wrath of the gods here. The gods only smite wih wasabi in ancient Japanese myths involving the creation of the universe, and I don't feel like creating a universe at the moment. Take too long. Haven't a week to spare. -Alloni Kramer So you're saying you like men with smaller posts, is that it?
exactly. its not the size, its the technique.
-Alloni 'n Bean well alloni, you need to switch to crack light. I've heard it really helps a lot with getting over-emotional and insulted easy (the paranoia should lesson too, but thats what THEY say, you never know if you should trust THEM.) -Bean You will not take my crack away from me. I'll have to mutter angrily and snarl at you. -Alloni Kramer A mighty pyramid of plastic and tin, to block out the sun... We shall conquer! -grey Wait. Wait. But... But. How can you not read every single message? How can you not stay abreast of every single thread? I mean, what if you miss something? What if you don't get some important information? What if you miss some famous quote that will be repeated for years to come in its original context? HOW CAN YOU STAND IT?!?!?! [Calm. Calm. Look, new message from grey. Must go read it now. The contents of that letter might well change my life...] -Terri C. Sheep I love working with pirates. GARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Kiss the parrot, Land-Lubber! -Jennifer Lynn Larkin You have to say one thing for stalkers: they are resourceful. -Mary W. Hodges Hrumph...I feel slighted. I am only Garth's alterrnate true love. The true love he comes to when Alloni is down or otherwise inaccessible. -Mary W. Hodges Hmm. I'm not familiar with that text. If it doesn't mention aliens on the summary page, it's not worth reading, IMHO. -Kevin (re: the oed) I spent the my junior and senior years with everyone thinking I was the antichrist. And everyone thought I was a drug dealer toward the end of my senior year. Oh wait, I was. nevermind. -Chris Wayne OK, first you'll need to conquer a small country. Enslave the entire populace and force them to build a pyramid in Thalia's honor. At the top of the pyramid, with steps leading up to it, place a large stone table, about waist-high. Be sure to carve a deep groove down the center of the table to provide drainage, as the inevitable pools of blood could make the dais slippery, very dangerous at the top of a pyramid, although infinitely amusing, and therefore praising Thalia. All right, forget the groove and get yourself some cleats instead. -Chris Wayne And this list isn't on the internet... how, exactly? Direct mental transfer? Parchment sent by messengers on horseback? Smoke signals? Semaphore? -Alloni Kramer Of course you don't sacrifice blood to her. But you need human skulls to keep the honey in, don't you? I'd like to see you get some without spilling blood. What were you going to use, jars??? -Chris Wayne There is no coincidence. Repeat. There is no coincidence. -Baabaa no. let me make this clear. i am not a breakfast donut. this is not a cereal recording you. -R&J Gassaway The Inquisition is known for its poor spelling. That is our major weapon. Poor spelling, and incomplete sentence structure. Our TWO major weapons. Poor spelling and incomplete sentence structure. Incomplete sentence structure and poor spelling. And an almost fanatical devotion to old Monty Python skits. -Chris Wayne Is the OED the one you always see in libraries that's a few thousand pages and about 2ft. square by 8" thick? Usually on it's own stand, like some little perverse altar to the english language... -Trevor Walton To be honest, baseball has some great fights. I just wish they didn't drop their bats. A bat would do a whole lot more damage than a hockey stick ever could. Especially with nails in it. -Chris Wayne I lived in a segregated community for the most part. everyone was white and catholic. the kids in the halls would stand at least farther than arms length from me, lest I take something personal from them and curse them with my evil dirty witchcraft. I had the sign of the cross made a few times while walking the halls... I'm so proud. -Bean The answer is a) direct mental transfer. Why do you suppose people have so much trouble unsubbing? They send their little "emails" to this supreme entity, this so-called "majordomo", thinking that this simple action will remove them. Wrong! It will not remove the connectors hard-wired into your brain by the Mr. Black Corporation when you first subscribed. Even if you cancel your service, you'll probably still pick up bits of the messages as they bounce from satellite to satellite, finding their way into the heads of abductees worldwide. I was unsubbed for almost a year, once, and sometimes, lying in bed at night, at that point just between sleep and wakefulness I would see random emails flash in front of my eyes. I couldn't usually read them, but sometimes I managed to make out names: Nathan, Alloni, Garth, Bean, Jennifer, grey, jm, etc. Of course, back then I thought that grey and bean were the same person, but that's another story... -Terri C. Sheep (internal quote bubbles) I hate it when I agree with you Josh. -Garth Why are people so down on being number two? You should be happy. Of my hundreds of lovers you were the second best. And I let you live. What more can you ask for? -Garth I'm not disrespecting other cultures. I just said thier country smells like ass. -Garth Microsoft - it's not a company, it's a new wardrobe. -Felix I think you're missing the point here. We're not trying to be *helpful*. You should know better than to suspect us of that. Fie! -Jennifer Lynn Larkin On an unrelated note.....frozen jelly beans are fun.
You know, I'd never thought of that. New sex toy, everyone!
-Mary 'n Jennifer my grandpa (a retired police chief) has a dog that only barks at black people. its fucking disgusting. racism is just so... lame. -Bean heh. People think I'm joking when I say this, but I swear it's true: I thought that black people were muppets until I was eight years old. I only saw them on TV, and everything on TV that wasn't real was either a muppet or a cartoon, and they weren't cartoons. Then when I was eight, my family went to Hershey Park, and I saw a black family there. I stared at them in total awe until my mom made me stop. I swear I'm not kidding. -Chris Wayne the first time I saw a black woman, she was my cashier at KMart, and I said "Damn lady, you've got a great tan", my mom slapped me. -Bean I have an embarrasing racist story, too. When I went to see Matrix, there was this black guy sitting next to me. And I (god, I'm so embarrassed) offered him popcorn. But he didn't want any. -Alloni Kramer I have an Illustrated Oxford Dictionary. With pictures, no less. Is that close enough? And I play the flute! um. Actually, it's just an empty toilet paper roll. But I'm really good at it.... -Chris Wayne I look like a big dumb oaf who appears much stronger than I actually am. Not that I would ever use an intimidating physical presense to my advantage. Although someone once told me that I walk like a juggernaut. I kinda like that. -Chris Wayne Felix, kill. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Every now and again I force myself to think racist thoughts so I smack myself for thinking them. -Alloni Kramer DARN YOU! DARN YOU TO SEMI-ETERNAL HECKFIRE! -Alloni Kramer You are hereby not allowed to be cute until you are single. So there. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin You had your chance, missy. Join the ranks of the embittered! =) -Nathan Winant Luckily, I'm a perfectly sane, stable individual.
What did you say your name was again?
-Alloni 'n Jennifer Weird... that could very well be it. Especially since my drunk, unemployed boyfriend is biting my leg. Tension headache, indeed. -grey If it'll get me sex I'll tell you anything. So, yeah, I have a dictionary. -Garth Sometimes sarcasm is lost in text form. -Garth Just out of curiosity, am I the only black person on this list? -Garth I'm 9/10's latino... -Nathan Winant And I'm an iguana. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin I made own version of veal parmigiana.
... An EVIL veal parmigiana?
Not particularly evil. The rice-mess I made the night before was evil, however.
-Felix 'n Nathan 'n Felix Hmm. sounds familiar. Did they call you "special" and ride to school in a short school bus? -Kevin (re: "gifted") I officially announce that I have no idea what I was talking about. Carry on. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin I thought i was black for a short while. turned out to be just a phase. -Kevin Ignorance makes me laugh. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahah. Ahem. Excuse me. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Wow. Those Anglicans are OH-Kay! -Josh Smith well. my mom has this certain power... she KNOWS when I disobey her, she always has. it sucks. I think she has certain mind-reading powers too. like once she called me cause she said she could hear me crying, and I was... it was strange, since I live 2000 miles away from her. -Bean No, I feel dirty for participating in such a banal test. And I feel dirty for actually caring (however slightly) about the results. And I feel dirty because I'm _clearly_ not using my brain to anywhere NEAR it's full potenti*** Oh. Wait. Another company press release needs to be coded into html. I'll be right back... =| -Nathan Winant My brain is not my own -- I am merely the vessel through which the world is to be gifted with divine, transcendant intelligence. And, of course, divine, transcendant hot monkey lovin'. But I digress. -Nathan Winant It's like watching the worlds greatest fighter trying to climb into a boxing ring whilst weighed down with chains and rope. -Felix (re: america) But we love you and you make a difference to us and now I'm gonna have to blow you up and sanitize my trousers, damn you. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin I didn't say that it was stealth technology that was available to Australians. For all you know, it's bees carrying the plague. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin (just don't ask) But Catholics are creepy. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin (and she should know) When I'm really hung over (like I was this morning, and like I've only been a handful of times in my life) the only thing I can eat are McDonalds hamburgers, no mustard. I think the rehydrated onions have healing properties. -grey Damn white people. Can't tell a black from a grey from... I bet you think all Asians look alike, too. -grey If I were, say, commander-in-cheif, and the best recommendation my staff could give me to resolve a foreign policy crisis is to rub out the leadership of a foriegn country... ... I would sack and replace my staff. Otherwise, imagine the precedent that would set. "So, Mr. Yamashito, you don't seem to like the trade quotas we set for you. That's a lovely daughter you've got there, Mr. Yamashito..." -Jonathan Mayer Ah, I thought it might be something like that. So how does dressing like a fucked-up mime fit in? -Mark Doner (gothmocking is neat) It's kind of like the three-branch system of government we've got here -- we _like_ the fact that it doesn't work. That's what keeps us safe. -Jonathan Mayer When you compare the efficacy of a single stealth bomber against the same $'s worth of traditional bombers, it becomes clear that even if the stealth bomber worked it wouldn't work. -Jonathan Mayer The vietnamese are learning to smoke because of... patriotic fervor? -Nathan Winant Don't be so down, Felix. Come with me! Dance with me! Join me in the Land Of The Unjustifiably Smug And Egocentric! ... oh. wait. nevermind. -Nathan Winant My parents were identacle twins. Thats why I look so much alike. -Garth (the one and only, more or less) I am still disappointed from when I found out that kangaroos don't make a boinging noise when they hope. I mean what is the point of this animal if it doesn't make a boinging noise? Australia ought to mandate that all 'roos be given some kinda motion activated device that will make the boinging sound when they hop. -Gary Sommer Apparently, jm. has been possessed by the spirit of the Handicapper General. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Yes, but Castro is... such an exception. It's not like we really tried to assassinate him. It's more like... some nightmarish episode of Inspector Gadget that just won't end. I mean, exploding cigars? Come ON! -Nathan Winant Lava Lamp(tm) brand reality-saver. -Jonathan Mayer Append File Error: (A)bort, (R)etry, (E)ternal Damnation? Xianity, the Ubervirus. -Fade My coin has an IQ of 94. -Mark Doner I'm cold. And I'm not even naked.
you should be naked. I am.
-Jennifer 'n Bean (nudity = comedy) Splicing the genes of murderers and salmon???? What the fuck?? Mad science has finally gone too far. -Chris Wayne You're still young. You've got plenty of time before that dread feeling turns into heaping mounds of regret dripping with bile. -Chris Wayne And I'm from Adelaide like Felix. The town where dope is decriminalised and 16 is the age of consent. Probabally the only two reasons I still live here. -Funky J (old friend and childmolester) Phone sex. Just call Nathan. -Garth (a reminder) Don't count on it buddy. You're up against me and a bearded German guy in a nun suit. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin BLASPHEMER!!!!! Without imaginary numbers how could we dream? -Garth So I get a page from Nathan and call him, "Hello, I paged you naked." -Garth (I have nothing to add) He never calls me naked. If feel so left out. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Don't. It wasn't a sexy, "I paged you naked", it was a cute, "I paged you naked (because I have a girlfriend and you don't you sad lonely man)". -Garth I need some sleep. Or another whiskey binge. -Garth I have now specified my gender as non-specified. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin him: "I feel like sex and candy." me: "What exactly does it feel like to feel like sex? I mean, I can understand feeling like candy, but I don't understand feeling like sex. Are you warm and gushy?" -Jennifer Lynn Larkin you're not black, Garth. Country singers can't be black. -Bean The voices are always out there. I can hear them right now. Singing... Oh, wait, that's my CD. -Terri C. Sheep Their server is fully operational. The failure must the result of human error, Dave. -Jonathan Mayer I hate my laptop. Hate, hate, hate. Hate rhymes with Windows98. That could be a song... -Terri C. Sheep (poess) That was me too. You can't be a black country singer unless you have a giant beer in your front yard. -Garth Aw yeah. Insane monkey love. I am so there. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Are you saying that I'm not a black country singer from seattle? I guess you don't think I'm a giant lizard either. -Garth chicks with big tits and guns. I think I'm in heaven. -Bean I'm in my standard computer attire: underwear, t-shirt, fuzzy-wuzzy blanket. -Terri C. Sheep I'd descibe myself but I can't because I'm an enigma wrapped in a cunundrum.
Yeah. That's what they all say.
-Garth 'n Terri Damn you Henry VIII! Damn you!!! -Josh Smith You're a cheesy horror flick with big breated women? -Jennifer Lynn Larkin I can honestly say that this is the first time anyone has ever called off an Australian assassin because they liked me. um, wait. OK, it's the second time. -Chris Wayne Abducted wants my body.
Yes. But for what? Garth, break out the anal probes.
-Nathan 'n Jennifer Gee. Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but... Women in bed in their underwear covered in ants while online. Erotic, non?
Sure. Erotic. Maybe in a gothic, sexequalsdeath, horror film type of way.
-Nathan 'n Terri Oh, yes, that's right. You and your pot and your goats and your black trenchcoat and your kiddie porn. I mean, it WAS sort of an inescapable conclusion, but still... STRANGER DANGER! -Nathan Winant I got the exact same score. I'm just as crazy as Alloni. Somehow, this does not surprise me. -Chris Wayne It's a good thing humans don't make a boinging noise when they hope. Otherwise, hospitals and churches would become very noisy. -Chris Wayne Join me, and we shall rule the galazy as hamster and sheep. -Alloni Kramer That's just because you're a flasher.
Yes, but a dangerous, violent, anarchistic flasher.
Well duh. I mean, you're wearing a black trench coat. Anyone who wears a black trenchcoat is by definition evil.
Yes, but a hippy, contemplative, bizarre evil.
-Jennifer 'n Alloni 'n Jennifer 'n Alloni In my hamster persona, I tend to refrain from communicating in words, and instead make little rodent-like noises. My friend Pange and I go around being hamsters quite regularly. Most of the time, we collect any loose items in the room and make a nest. I sometimes gnaw on my "owner", ChiQui. She once put me on trial for it. Pange was my lawyer, and my friend Adri was the judge. Using her amazing lawyer-type skills, she got the jury to find me not guilty (she acted all cute and let the judge and jury pet her [like, pet her head, as though she were a hamster, just to clarify things for *certain* people]). That was cool. *nest* *nest* -Terri C. Sheep (scares me sometimes) You are 54.5454545454545% insane. In a few years you could become insane. I chock this low score down to my quantum powers shaping reality in my image making my insanity sane. -Garth I've seen your body Nathan... um.. I don't want it. -Bean (denied) I didn't see my first corpse until I was 18. -Josh Smith (nudge nudge, wink wink) On the other hand, perhaps there's something more sinister at work here than mere teenage angst... "These guys came in and put their best face on," Thomas said. "Most of us in THE SYSTEM wish we were HUMAN lie-detectors, but we're not." In retrospect, DeVita describes Harris and Klebold as "ALIENS of a DIFFERENT SORT. They were able to fool everybody." hmmmmm......... -Nathan Winant I'm exactly twice as crazy as you. Fact usable at cocktail parties. "Hey, did you know, I'm half as crazy as Alloni is?" A stunned silence falls over the crowd as the marvel at the extent of your knowledge. Some begin to weep, enrapt in your awesome wisdom. In later years, a small shrine is built to commemorate the occasion. It doesn't help you get any nookie, but it's a good way to pass the time otherwise. -Alloni Kramer I shall be meek from now on. Meek.
Why am I not buying that?
-Jennifer 'n Alloni You're just doing that to inherit the earth. I saw it first. That is so unfair. You just wait 'til mom finds out!! -Chris Wayne Despite the fact that you have seen through my clever ploys, I will refrain from smiting you. 'Cause that's just wrong 'n stuff. -Alloni Kramer Wow. I wish I could pimp MY gender. -Nathan Winant I hope you realize that most of the ashes you spread were actually ashes from the casket. I hope I've totally ruined it for you. It's my gift to the grieving. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin It's good to be cheap. Wait! What am I saying? -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Most people in my family want to be creamated and dumped over the cult grounds. Cause we love our cult. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahah! I am She-Ra, Princess of Power! Also know as "God." -Jennifer Lynn Larkin I hope today is soma day............. -Nathan Winant Buy a dozen acres or so. Maybe in Bastrop (about 40mi or so out of Austin), maybe somewhere in the southwest -- arizona might be nice. Just outside of Tucson. But regardless, get a nice little plot of land, throw up a small home -- maybe a house, maybe just a trailer. Get a dog and a truck. Learn to play an instrument, do a little writing, go into town every once in a while, maybe let people host the occasional rave or whatever on my land. Get a laptop and a cellmodem, and telecommute to work on my own hours. If anyone at the office has a problem with me, or wants to play stupid political games, or has a hankerin' to set up some ridiculous, long-winded meeting that I have to attend, well, they can come on out and tell me in person. I'll be sitting on my porch with my dog and my smoke and a rocksalt shotgun and a fifth of whiskey, waitin' for 'em. Sounds like a pretty good life to me. -Nathan Winant Before I smoked weed everyone thought I was a pothead, now they think I'm a narc. -Garth (whoa. tres irony, dude) Funny, I have a strange urge to kick some virtual ass. -Josh Smith I've never been a big fan of catastrophic kidney failure or intestinal hemorrhaging.
Did you hear their last album?
-Chris 'n Garth [Nathan silently sharpens his gun.] -Nathan Winant Argh. There's enough perkiness there to power a medium sized pleasure saucer. -Kevin You've been smiting a lot of people lately. I reckon you've been listening to Marilyn Manson and playing Doom. -Felix You anti social heathen. You will bring destruction upon us all. You should be listening to T-power and playing Nethack. With beer. You need beer. Good beer. Or wine. Dry powerful red wine. And sushi. You need nibbles. And a lava lamp. Ambience is a must. -Felix I am a blasphemer! Hear me crinkle! -Jennifer Lynn Larkin but then again, I'm a pinkogreenocommieskum -Funky J Okay, so, what about a guy, like a bum or something, who has a box with a frog in it and he SWEARS that when he opens the box the frog jumps out and dances with a little tophat and cane and sings "michigan rag", but it nevers does for anybody else, but it really DOES sing and dance, just only when it's alone with him? ... should that guy be allowed to have a gun? -Nathan Winant Duh. Everyone knows all the lizards are in Phoenix. -grey And our womens. Somebody's gotta protect our womens. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Don't make me smite you again. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin John, you three-eyed barstow of barstows, who encased your cocoon? Your motherbrother? -Alloni Kramer How else are we gonna convince everybody that we're having sex in the office? -Jennifer Lynn Larkin a.) I'm not a co-savior. What I am is darker, danker, more mysterious, and certainly less pleasant. b.) I never speaketh the truth. I speaketh only in lies, the lies which define the world in which we live perhaps, the lies upon which we build truth, but lies nonetheless. The world is better for the purity of its inherent deceit; Platonic Truth need not apply. c.) Given the above two points, feel free to call me a co-savior. Play your cards right, you might even be able to usher in The Rapture. And let's face it -- they wouldn't call it The Rapture if I wasn't gonna win... I am nothing so weak and minty and yet so curiously strong as a co-savior. No, I am... The Man. -Nathan Winant So I'm an Allonitoid? -Alloni Kramer How now brown politician? -Nathan Winant I read that as bear. But I still remembered it as Garth. Hmmmn. -grey It's been far too long since I got kicked out of a Toys R' Us. I know what *my* plan for teh evening is... -grey No, you use : (a) shotguns to hunt fish (b) hunting rifles to hunt humans and (c) flamethrowers to hunt pigeons. quite simple really. -Felix Oh, yeah, like the bill of rights guarantees that. Just 'cause it says so. Hah. I look down my nose at your foolish and naive concept of law. Hah. The Supreme Court, whose wisdom is like ambrosia for the legal mind, has repeatedly ruled that in this case "people" doesn't mean "persons". The People can have guns; How an abstract collective can use them without giving them to persons is beyond my powers of intellection. -Mark Doner Hmmm... Your new boy freind is annoying. I'm annoying. He's lazy. I'm lazy. He's unemployed. I could be. And you think I'm cute. Dump him and marry me. I'll get another giant beer for the reception. -Garth I can imagine a situation where I'd rather have a beached whale over a tape of the flying nun, that doesn't make it a valid point. -Garth And maybe a 3-day waiting period between pulling the trigger and the gun going off -- I'm for that, too. -Jonathan Mayer Clearly, Garth has lost his paranoia. Who'll help me stalk him until he gets it back? -Jennifer Lynn Larkin I never lodge useful dialogue either. I sort of offer a half paranoid- delusional diatribe, an borderline schitzophrenic preamble, and a meglomanic centrepoint. You may go back to your regular programming. I am currently in the middle of mine. Fidel Castro is flying in this afternoon with a box of cigars for me, and I need to be home to make the place presentable (you know the drill - hide the share portfolioes, bring out the political detainees, paint the black dog red ...) -Felix It is really nice to find nice people on the Internet after all the bad things I've heard about the Internet, about it frying your eyeballs into little wisps of steam and the ritual abuse and stuffed animal porn-slave rings and all that. But, yep, RIGHT as RAIN! -John Alex Herbert Yeah, but do you talk about felching with your roommate on the back porch over cigarettes? I didn't think so. But don't worry, we'll both be included in the big Abducted Love Orgy of the Apocalypse [tm]. -grey It doesn't surprise me at all that you could open pill bottles as a child. -Garth (re: Jennifer) No, no, no, I'm know that the government is evil and plotting against me. Its just that I don't think they are as dangerous as your everyday man on the street given a gun. -Garth Very ambiguous. Does he talk to his roomate while they are on the back porch smoking, subject felching? or does he talk on the porch about felching his roomate while smoking? or felching your roomate on the back porch? -Garth That's not how you dump a body. First you cut it up into small manageable pieces, drain and rinse the pieces in hot soapy water, then divide the pieces into two or three garbage bags, preferably double-bagged lawn and garden bags. Then dump them into any city dumpster, only one bag at the same location if feasible and preferably right before the dumpster gets unloaded. um, so I've heard. -Chris Wayne "The dispensation of obloquy"??? You got one of those "365 days to a better vocabulary" desk calendars for X-Mas, didn't you? -Chris Wayne Shouldn't be a problem. If the cross-dressing Barbie and G.I.Joe doesn't get us thrown out, surely the Power Rangers/Transformers simulated sex acts will. And there's always programming the electronic TeleTubbies to say "KILL" over and over again.... -Chris Wayne Hmmm... This reminds me of the time I was traveling deep in the Amazon Rain Forest (enjoying the rain of course and the yage) and discovered that obscure tribe of, ah, Amazonians that would never sever their umbilical cords at birth and would in fact through the application of certain plant extractions stretch, extend and make pliant the said umbilical cords which would lead to strange and beautiful familial structures of interconnected tribespeople with the matriarch at the centers, roaming around the village grounds surrounded by their offspring, their offspring, and even their offspring only to be broken and split off into seperate substructures upon the death of the matriarch. The largest interconnected group was always afforded the most respect, and usually got their pick of the roasted pigskin at village feasts. -John Alex Herbert Yes, nothing is more romantic than a corpse rotting in the woods and being picked apart by wild animals. -Chris Wayne Orgies are great and all, but I still wouldn't need underwear. At least no underwear that was actually comfortable. -Chris Wayne I would imagine wearing uncomfortable underwear to an orgy would make you kind of unpopular. -Elizabeth Leal HEY! YOU! Everybody needs to lighten up around here. This means you! For what have you forsaken love? Why not take a moment out and forgive yourself. I give you permission -- you are Okay. There's a humongous boiling nuclear furnace out there somewhere spewing radioactive jets of superheated gas in our general direction, but momentarily the sun is being kind to us and gracing us with a nice day. Holy holy holy cry the seraphs as they burst from the lips of gods aflame, imolated and created anew. Why is that you hurt the one, the one you should never hurt at all? Feel free to go ahead and be nice to yourself. Be kind to small animals. Email the participants of a random USENET flamewar and explain your love to them. Give your body freely to random strangers of questionable hygiene. As chairman mao says, peace comes from the barrel of a gun. You possess love inside you as bountiful as your courage to use it. Nothing in the world can soil you but yourself. Buy yourself a free Ben and Jerry's ice cream cone. I want you to have it. -Jonathan Mayer (making sense) I think I'll just kill one of you as an example to the other. But which one? Nathan's closer, but you're more irritating. Nathan may be more usful when I conquer the world, but you... uhm... are more irritating. You're lucky I'm so lazy. All of you. Each and everyone of you ungrateful bastards. Can't you see I do the things I do because I love you? And now I have to kill one of you. You drove me to it. Hey Josh why don't you come down here for a visit? And its not just so I can shoot you. We're having a problem with the front door so just climb in thru the back window around midnight or so. Wear black. And a ski mask. -Garth ... if garths are outlawed, only outlaws will have garth. -Nathan Winant Yes, soon the world's economy will be based on baby supplies. And then, we'll unleash the virus that sterilizes everyone. And that will destroy the world's economy. -Alloni Kramer Just to put your mind at ease, not only am I not pregnant, I don't want to get pregnant, and I didn't have a baby, either. And Garth doesn't even want to marry me anymore =[ -grey You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose in a gun control thread. Sticks and stones may break my bones but I'd really just rather drink thanks. -grey Have you noticed that Amazon lists Macchiavelli as Niccolo MacHiavelli like he's Scottish or something? -Chris Wayne And its the same reason I have for not wanting everyone to own a god. -Garth HELP. i CAN'T SPELL bATON rOUGE. -Jennifer Lynn Larkin Official Abducted Thread That Existed Just To Cause Trouble: (various) Guns. Official Abducted Reason for America: (Nathan Winant) *sigh*... And therein lies the problem. How do you think America earned the right to rule the world? Was it through superior military strength? Eh, it played a part, but that's not it. Was it through superior technology? Nope. It doesn't hurt, but that ain't it. Was it through a superior economy? Well, clearly that's not the case. Was it through an educated, cultured populace? Uhm... Was it through enlightened leadership? Heh. Heheheheh... No, my topsy-turvy dune-dancing friend, let me tell you how The World Was Won: MARKETING. Good, solid P.R. Get their hearts, and their minds, bodies, and wallets will follow. Why is english the de facto language of business? Why are millions of vietnamese deliberately learning to smoke? Why can you buy a car for a pair of Levis in Russia? My god, how can the GooGoo Dolls become an internationally recognized band? Marketing. Hell, look at the name of the country: The United States Of America. A little stuffy I'll grant, but no nonsense. In the realm of international relations, it basically translates to "Hey, mess with me, punk, and I'll go get my 49 other friends and we'll go WHUP YOUR ASS." Think about it. What if we'd gone the Australia route and named the country, say, WonketyTonketyLand. Would anyone take us seriously? Of course not... And look at the names of our weapons. The Apache. The Cobra. The Patriot. The Tomahawk. Hell, Star Wars -- a frickin' project that hasn't even existed for the past decade, but everyone knows what SDI is. Of course, sometimes we play the other side of the coin: intimidation through alienating, dehumanizingly cryptic names. M-16. AR-14. M203. M1A1. THX1138. And when they're not intimidating, they're endearingly whimsical: after all, who can forget the "fat man"? What if we called the SRI-71 the Wongaloo? Or the B2 the ToWongFoo? Or the M60 the Chickerachatee? Or the F-111 the Jindalee? I mean, c'mon. It sounds like a spicy indian curry or something. Tasty perhaps, but hardly intimidating. No, my friend, your radar needs a much cooler name. The Skyraker. The Sentinel. The MR-117 Radar Penetration System. Hell, maybe you could even get away with "Priscilla". ... but just this one time...... Official Abducted Exquisite Short Story: (who knows?) In a far away land, in a land far away, there lived a young boy who fought for freedom under the guise of that most fiendish of dashing rogues, the Scarlet Sahara! She woke up in the arms of her love, velvety cinnamon tresses cascading across his chest. A quiet calm came over him as he kissed her quivering lips. It was only then he realized that she wasn't like other women. The adam's apple, for instance, was a dead giveaway. Instead of fighting what I felt, I bludgeoned my subject with a chair. She stood up slowly, her head still reeling from the impact. Slowly she turned, picking up the pieces of broken office furniture from the floor and weilding them at her attacker. "Do you think you can just slay me with hardwood? No, that will not work, you fiend," she growled as she lunged across the room. Her dark eyes hidden behind a cloud of smoke as she walked towards me, I knew her brain would be succulent. I gazed longingly into her cerebrum, dreaming of her medulla oblongata and the secrets it contained. Gripping the wheel, his knuckles turned white with desire. His medulla oblongata throbbed with excitement, unleashing its secrets and those of the rest of his brain upon the world like so so many recently-opened carrier pigeon cages. All his most treasured moments, his beliefs both sacred and profane (though mostly the latter), and even the knowledge of such trivial things as the contents of his last meal (though not its ingredients) were freed and made one with the collective unconscious of the universe. The chicken-nippled hooligan lay waste to our collection of magic rocks. For this he must die. For this he shall be devoured by a fleshless hoosier while being plucked limbless by the pincers of the gigantic Malaysian junk moth. He thrust his mighty sword into its abdomen But, the mighty beast did not sway. For it had the strength of. The beast picked up the young slayer and ate him whole. He was quite delicious, a bit on the crunchy side, but not fulfilling. The beast trecked on looking for more delcate morsles. It then happend upon a school bus full of swedish exchange students. And with much breast-bobbing and flapping of wings, they were off, leaving the Swedish exchange students in the dust to fend for themselves when they were eventually attacked by locusts and bloodthirsty carnivorous sparrows (but that's another story for another time). Anyway, upon arriving at the dentist's office, they immediately fell prey to an overwhelming urge to pilfer several gigantic tanks of nitrous oxide, after which they bolted for the window, using the tanks to smash through. He spent the night painting large bunnies and other graffiti on the front of them. Rudy Guiliani fixed that. Then he fixed a flat tire that his estranged grand-aunt Delilah had gotten during the great war of 2172. The battle in question hadn't exactly been a surgical attack - tens of thousands of civillians, as well as soldiers, had been exposed to the poison. Of course, since it had never been tested, everyone had believed the bomb to be a dud until several years later when the halos started appearing, and buds between the shoulderblades of the affected started to grow into something suspiciously looking like wings. And when the strangely glowing babies started to appear, everyone knew that this wasn't just another Agent Orange, it was an evolutionary step.

Nice honker you got there, lady! Do you feed your young with that thing? Just passing through. Are any of you particularly short? I feel the urge to make jokes at people's expense, and short is an easy way to go with that one. In fact, if I blur the line between "short" and "midget", I'll get Nathan into the act, and then I'll come out with a midget haiku and capture little Jennikins, a midget on drugs to get Garth, and a a midget security guard with a smg to get Eyedunno on my side. Then we shall reign supreme, jackboots and all. But first, I need one of you to volunteer to be short. I don't care if you're actually short. This is the digital age. I just need you to be shamelessly mocked for being short. I'll toss in a free Slurpee - of your choice! You can even get the Supergulp Slurpee, which will feed you for a week! I know some of you have alternate online personalities. This won't be a new experience. Just, instead of being a large furry rabbit or a cleric or a homicidal psychotic with a chainsaw, you'll be short. Come on! Why are you hesitating? Short is beautiful! Official Abducted Meme Theory: (R&J Gassaway) Over the last few months J and I have been developing some theories around the general idea that civilization is merely a manifestation of opportunistic memes* using human DNA and our instinctive desire for expansion as a means to more quickly gather resources and communicate among each other, battling with and destroying weak or impotent memes in the process. We are simply symbiants, fairly effective vestibules of information that until recently have remained blind to the idea that our reality may actually be a secondary result of our memetic leaders. Perhaps our evolution has simply mirrored the evolution of these opportunistic memes since the beginning of animal consciousness (a momentous occasion, not unlike the inevitable birth of artificial intelligence). Like biological evolution, these memes have been aggressively pursuing the means to perpetuate their existence for eons. Beginning when individual animals had autonomous epiphanies within their consciousness, memes acted like nomads (hunters & gatherers), pushing towards civilization by slowly forming small groups with other memes that displayed similar objectives. The expansion is a familiar process. By creating villages/syndicates to share knowledge, various groups of memes became powerful ideologies/city states, battling with other city states over newly found resources unearthed by humans in our own pursuit for knowledge. Parasitic perhaps, but not really conspiratorial. Our recognition of this has only been resisted by the primitive concept that we are the harbingers of universal knowledge. It's possible that we may pursue a conscious symbiosis with these memetic groups if we can mutually agree upon and assist each others needs. Perhaps AI will help by mediating or translating this exchange. The unspoken goal in this universe seems to eventually lead to an unrestricted environment of information, accessible everywhere, all at once. As information battles for power, attempting to protect and perpetuate the original epiphany/ideology created by any given memetic group, it will mutate and/or make alliances with other groups along the way. As these groups expand exponentially, paralleling and leading the knowledge gathering tools of humans, ideas that are poorly developed (such as dogmatic or impotent religious and political ideologies) will be stripped of their resources and absorbed into other more effective groups. Eventually, all memetic groups will overlap and/or become absorbed into themselves, creating an unified database that is constantly accessible, all at once, from anywhere in the universe. However, once this unification takes place, perhaps the universe concludes in a stasis, that must be reborn to survive. If the universe is truly finite, and it cycles in upon itself, perhaps the momentum of information is what truly keeps it alive. Not unlike the momentum of matter, the momentum of active information may allow this cycle to go on infinitely. So where does time fit into this rather elaborate set of theories? After combining a large number of minor epiphanies over the last few years, we think that time is simply a combination of universal positions and information signatures. Every position in the universe, and all information, has an unique signature. The combination of these signatures is what we perceive as each moment, throughout our existence. How does universal position become known? Only as information begins to overlap, sharing the exploratory information gathered through the expansion of universal memes, does the language of universal position become known. As the configurations/signatures of information and universal position become omnipresent, time disappears in a subjective sense (reference our use of it as a measurement) and really becomes the contributing factor to unlocking all of the configurations of the universe, making information from alpha to omega available all at once. A universal map or decryption key that is also the universe. We're currently referencing this map or key as a "weave", basically because during some discussions of these theories we both began to perceive the universe as a piece of cloth, or as a chain link fence going in all perceivable directions (the former is preferable because it definitely seems less draconian than the latter). Oddly enough, a couple of days later we were watching a PBS show on cosmology that was discussing whether the universe was expanding, and how it could have developed, showing a rather elaborate animation of how they believe the universe began to form. This image displayed objects in the universe beginning to group, becoming interwoven, similar to a biological entity growing capillaries and nerves. Strangely enough, it looked exactly like what we had visualized. Although we are avidly interested in this type of subject matter (reading Discover, Scientific American, misc. books), to the best of our knowledge we had never encountered a visual representation of the universe in this manner. Naturally these theories are based on speculation. We're not particularly concerned with proving these theories, because they unquestionably defy our current capacity and perspective to analyze, but they do offer some provocative answers to a few perplexing questions. Some of these theories were developed by considering the combination of Jungian synchronicity with Dawkins concept of the Selfish Gene. Synchronicity was never articulated as, but basically supports, the idea that information is opportunistic, and that it will search out other information that offers tantalizing resources. Synchronicity does basically define a coincidence as a moment in time where information that appears to have no direct correlation interacts, supporting our actions/needs/desires in an advantageous way. If the situation is unusual enough we may question the concept that this particular circumstance was merely a "coincidence". This may be true. Perhaps we are just observing information prompting our actions in an opportunistic search for resources, unearthing a fairly conspicuous discovery that we perceive as a coincidence. Perhaps these memes are not conscious of their direct influence over us, or perhaps they are motivated to look after us for their own selfish reasons, protecting the vestibule that contains their precious collection of information, or protecting the machine/bot that helps them gather their resources and expand in the universe. This may create some frightening challenges to the concept of freewill. Honestly, we're not that concerned (possibly due to the fiction like quality of this material) because it's possible that memes rely upon us as much as we rely upon them and that we may have similar goals (like recognizing the advantages for information expansion by supporting concepts like open source). Perhaps those that support freedom of information are the antibodies, living within our particular configuration of the universe, fighting and destroying malevolent organizations/viruses that attempt to malign or entrap information, slowing the momentum of information exchange in the universe. This creates a paradox, because generally antibodies are perceived as the law keepers, sustaining order for the biological collective, but perhaps this doesn't need to have the negative connotations that most order pursuing societies display (fascism, communism, other misc. isms). To allow for the expansion of information in the universe is to allow the purist and most finite data (truth?) to continue to exist unhampered by memetic groups that wish to restrain it with their dogma. The ultimate crime/sin is to misinterpret, misrepresent or pervert the information being used to create the universal map/key. Maintaining and expanding universal information/data is the ultimate goal. To maintain this data is to maintain order, by destroying dogmatic or impotent memes that thrive within the protective walls of tradition and the status quo. Tradition and the status quo are still valued though, because these are the most heavily traveled routes of information. Long established, but poorly maintained roadways. Because of the high accessibility, dogmatic and/or impotent memes/symbiants can most often be found here. Dogmatic and impotent memes/symbiants are naturally destructive because they project and reinforce a false representation of the universal information being gathered. They malign and destroy data while thriving off of the universal infrastructure, so they must be challenged and ultimately destroyed. Roughly stated, this is a fair representation of the many insane theories J and I have been developing. This concludes our study on the unique and disturbing psychological traits that may develop when a husband and wife decide to work at home together. By the way, in an effort to actively support what we've been theorizing, please consider this an open source document by critiquing, commenting and adding elements if you feel so inclined. These epiphanies may simply be the result of two artists talking for hours about things we only have a peripheral understanding of. Naturally we're curious if anyone with a computer science, physics, biogenetic, cosmological or theological background has been considering similar ideas on their own, or if these are simply the sophomoric scribblings of two people who really don't get enough sleep. ...end of message Official Abducted Insulting Word: (Garth to Jen) Nockwurst.
