Hey Myk - I e-mailed you again. Gee. It sure does get quiet when Sleepy and Cushca go home. I thought Voltaic was going to abuse us for a while but even he didn't stay. What a crying shame. I did appreciate his Robyn related postings though. Very insightful.

Chewing Wax: You have been peaking under your bed again (re: 3 18 year olds). RE: Prince...Anaybody who can look that cool, and play incredible LEAD guitar while singing is pretty great. That was an old show, though....wasn't it? They had Jocelyn Elders jokes... The other genius stroke of Prince's was figuring out a way not to have to talk to Dave at the end of his song by playing dead and having a goon drag him off stage. I'd bet a hundred bucks that p--sed Dave off.

I'm being a silly girly. But even when I'm being silly, I know that a British racing green MGB GT would be much better than a Mini. Just so everybody knows how my twisted mind works, the Mini Metro statement was a reference to a quiz show called Bullseye which was very popular here in the mid-80's. It was hosted by Jim Bowen and was devised around the game of darts. And you could win a Bendy Bully. Or a Mini Metro.

"Rest a--ured, we'll have none of that nonsense here at Gunther Williams School for Boys", Mr. Wilkens said soothingly to Mrs. Ray. She held her eight year old son Dexter firmly by the tip of his left ear, a grip he had long since learned not to try and squirm out of. It's just that this is the fifth school we've tried, and they've all said the same things at first. Then the fires start, and the water supply gets tainted and... well...." Mrs. Ray said, giving the ear a slight loving tug. "Oh no, Mr. Wilkens replied, " our track record is quite exemplary. Even the most, shall we say, stubborn cases have found a happy home here at Williams". "Well, all right then," Mrs. Ray said. The ear was traded off and Mr. Wilkens found himself the joyful recipient of a sharp kick on the left shin. He winced slightly but bore the pain well. "Good bye then, Mrs. Ray". See you on Parents visiting weekend in a couple months. Mrs. Ray left and Mrs. Wilkens led Dexter down a dark hallway with doors all along both sides. "Come then Dexter" Mr. Wilkens said. "Let's meet your teachers shall we?" and with that, a slow, wicked laugh began to build deep inside his chest." "Get stuffed!" Little Dexter advised, but tears were running down Mr. Wilkens cheeks now he was laughing so hard. He convulsed and lost his grip on Dexter's ear. Instantly Dexter was off down the hall at a flat run. Mr. Wilkens was writhing about on the floor still laughing uncontrollably. When Dexter got to the door marked "EXIT" he found it was painted onto the wall. He turned to see the long hall way, all the doors opening and heads sticking out. Ghastly ghoulish hideous inhuman heads. Eyes everywhere, bulbous protrusions in the most uncomfortable places, mouths full of filthy unbrushed razor sharp teeth protruding haphazardly in all directions. As the heads emerged Dexter saw they were attached to large muscular bodies with veined leathery wings branching from behind their shoulder blades. Several of them held crude battle axes which seemed to be crusted with old blood. One had a chunk of something hanging by a stringy bit. The largest, most hideous monster of them all stepped slowly forward toward Dexter and held out a lesson book. Way down the hall, slightly recovered, Mr. Wilkens shouted, "Mr. Ray, meet the faculty!"

Well now you've all gone and flustered me. I felt genuinely hurt by hooded's comments of being a wacko! For this reason I am now for the first and last time, going to admit my wrongdoings on this silly board. I must take credit or blame (depending on which one you read) for most of those wonderful stories, musings, laments, etc. I am an anon., but you already knew that didn't you? There are some wonderful support groups for people like myself in my area, A.A. (Anon. Anonymous). I am in the process of getting a sponsor and beating this sickness, with a stick if I have to! The last week I tried to be a good, productive member of the board. I even mentioned RH on several occasions. I just cannot for some reason be accepted by CW and his litter. I do not cut and paste, I do not post during the day, 'cept at the first part of my lunch. I do chant as Myk would say. I have way to many runins with people of authority. My first sexual experience (with someone other than myself) was when I was 14. I remember the sweating, feeling my blood boil, the nervousness, then came time to do it. We were at a friend's of mine girlfriend. It didn't take very long at all, and what few seconds it did take I don't remember (I think I blacked out)! I am not going to belittle anyone now, I probably won't make into work tomarrow. I first saw my mother naked when I was 5, and I've been jealous of women ever since. Sorry I felt the need for a joke. Myk's right, this board is funnier when you're drunk! I think r0b is right on the eye comment, there is a common thread throughout the album.((time for a song---They packed us up in boxes, wooden boxes and sent us home/undrneath the willow by the river near my headstone/(and all you do is carry on-and all you do is carry on)/ it's snowing now, its winter, rivers frozen,and still you come/ if I could only see you or touch you my pretty one/(repeat chorus)... oh well, I can't believe no is familiar Jack Frost's debut album. I am a follower af the teachings of Buddha. Has any one read The Lost Decade, The book about the Pogues? www.pogues.com, it's a worthy read! Does anyone here have a clue what's it like to go through life ALWAYS being the ood man out??? Don't know what else to say. hmmmmm...... oh well

The film the boy should have chosen was called Werewolf in the Secretary Pool. It was a new John Landis flick being shot on video. On location in Cleveland. It's the moving story of an upstart werewolf trying to make ends meet in today's downsized corporate world. Things are going badly until he accidentally chews off his bosses hand during a full moon boogie. Once his boss is out of the way he's promoted to district sales manager and hires a few other werewolves who have very creative ideas regarding competitors who happen to be vacationing at a remote resort....fun fun fun in this laugh riot, and that boy from Kids/SNL took the lame National Lampoons Clam-Bake Serenade instead.
