53 Dear Crue Sysop: I'll believe you are a good judge
|
|||
|
|
54 of story after you learn to pluralize it. And what
|
|||
|
|
55 is this about "If you got..."

|
|||
|
|
58 It is obvious that the first few hundred lines of this disk were placed
|
|||
|
|
59 by people who enjoy perverting an otherwise friendly and nice place. I,
|
|||
|
|
60 for one, am indignant about this. Gratuitous death and intimacy are
|
|||
|
|
61 obnoxious. Pranks are just stupid. In both cases, they were rude.
|
|||
|
|
62 Why did they place those things here? The Story Teller has put another
|
|||
|
|
63 story up here. One in which the Cistop and a friend are murdered. He, or
|
|||
|
|
64 she, used their names as characters, and then had them slaughtered.
|
|||
|
|
65 Whoever it is that placed those two stories up, nurtures a hatred for this
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
66 system. Causing me to wonder why the Story Teller has stayed around for
|
|||
|
|
67 these months.
|
|||
|
|
68 The lines following that story were filled with congratulations for the
|
|||
|
|
69 Story Teller, and a prank about the Piper. Understanding these lines is a
|
|||
|
|
70 difficult task. Either the Story Teller wrote hundreds of lines of
|
|||
|
|
71 commentary, or a central terminal was left open for using BackWater. At a
|
|||
|
|
72 gathering of sorts.
|
|||
|
|
73 Whatever the case, one thing is clear. The one way these people are
|
|||
|
|
74 going to be found out, is the one way they can enjoy themselves. By
|
|||
|
|
75 entering more lines. Leaving unwipable, very tracible clues. Which they
|
|||
|
|
76 will do, over the space of time.
|
|||
|
|
77 It's something to think about. Then again, it might be something you
|
|||
|
|
78 want to completely forget.

|
87 So I'm filling the catsup bottles at the end of the night, and I'm
|
|||
|
|
88 listening to the radio Mike has stuck up on top of the movable panel in the
|
|||
|
|
89 ceiling, when the door opens and one of them walks in. I know right away it's
|
|||
|
|
90 one of them - no chance to make a mistake about that - even though it's got on
|
|||
|
|
91 a nice-cut suit and a brim hat like Humphrey Bogart used to wear in
|
|||
|
|
92 Casablanca. But there's nobody with it, no professor from the college or
|
|||
|
|
93 government men like on the TV show from the college or even any students.
|
|||
|
|
94 It's all alone. And we're a long way out on the highway from the college.
|
|||
|
|
95 It stands in the doorway, blinking a little, with rain dripping off its
|
|||
|
|
96 hat. Kathy, who's supposed to be cleaning the coffee machine behind the
|
|||
|
|
97 counter freezes and stares with one hand still holding the used filter up in
|
|||
|
|
98 the air like she's never going to move again. Just then Mike calls out from
|
|||
|
|
99 the kitchen, "Hey, Kathy, you ask anybody who won the trifecta?" and she
|
|||
|
|
100 doesn't even answer him. Just goes on staring with her mouth open like she's
|
|||
|
|
101 thinking of screaming but forgot how. And the old couple in the corner booth,
|
|||
|
|
102 the only ones left from the crowd after the movie got out, stop chewing their
|
|||
|
|
103 chocolate cream pie and stare, too. Kathy closes her mouth and opens it
|
|||
|
|
104 again, and a noise comes out like "Uh-errrgh. . . ."
|
|||
|
|
105 Well, that made me annoyed. Maybe she tried to say "ugh" and maybe she
|
|||
|
|
106 didn't, but here it is standing in the doorway with rain falling around it in
|
|||
|
|
107 little drops and we're staring like it's a clothes dummy and not a customer.
|
|||
|
|
108 So I think that's not right and maybe we're even making it feel a little bad.
|
|||
|
|
109 I wouldn't like Kathy staring at me like that, and I dry my hands on my towel
|
|||
|
|
110 and go over.
|
|||
|
|
111 "Yes, sir, can I help you?" I say.
|
|||
|
|
112 "Table for one," it says, like Mike's was some nice steak house in town.
|
|||
|
|
113 But I suppose that's the kind of place the govenment people mostly take them
|
|||
|
|
114 to. And besides, its voice is polite and easy to understand, with a sort of
|
|||
|
|
115 accent but not as bad as some we get from the college. I can tell what it's
|
|||
|
|
116 saying. I lead him to a booth in the corner opposite the old couple, who come
|
|||
|
|
117 in every Friday night and haven't left a tip yet.
|
|||
|
|
118 He sits down slowly. I notice he keeps his hands on his lap, but I can't
|
|||
|
|
119 tell if that's because he doesn't know what to do with them or because he
|
|||
|
|
120 thinks I won't want to see them. But I've seen the closeups on TV - they
|
|||
|
|
121 don't looks so weird to me like they do to some. Mike says they make his
|
|||
|
|
122 stomach turn, but I can't see it. You'd think he'd of seen worse meat in
|
|||
|
|
123 Vietnam. He talks enough like he did, on and on, and sometimes we even
|
|||
|
|
124 believe him.
|
|||
|
|
125 I say, "Coffee, sir?"
|
|||
|
|
126 He makes a sort of movement with his eyes. I can't tell what the
|
|||
|
|
127 movement means, but he says in that polite voice, "No, thank you. I am unable
|
|||
|
|
128 to drink coffee," and I think that's a good thing, because I suddenly remember
|
|||
|
|
129 that Kathy's got the filter out. But then he says, "May I have a green salad,
|
|||
|
|
130 please? With no dressing, please."

141 Mr. Day: May I inquire as to why everything I enter -no matter what it pertains to-
|
|||
|
|
142 is deleted? I feel I have done nothing wrong, my last message was even an apology
|
|||
|
|
143 to everybody for continuing this stupid little game that 555 started. I feel that
|
|||
|
|
144 you are being extremely unfair to me for not letting me post. At least let me take
|
|||
|
|
145 this subject off of your board. Let me tell 555 to move this discussion (if he wants
|
|||
|
|
146 to continue) send my mail to me on Parrot (253-xxxx) so we can stop mis-using this
|
|||
|
|
147 fine board of yours, I myself would like to see BW back to the days of old without
|
|||
|
|
148 the many childish influences. At least school has taken the "children" out for
|
|||
|
|
149 another 8 or 9 months. After you read this could you delete this as it really has
|
|||
|
|
150 nothing to do with anybody else? (Except possibly to tell 555 where to call)

186 opinions about country western songs. Lovelorn: try to tone the cliches. Love
|
|||
|
|
187 is overrated and talked about entirely too much as it is. Let's not perpetuate
|
|||
|
|
188 this ridiculous mystique about the fulfillment of basic human lust. There is no
|
|||
|
|
189 real love but self love, need for security, or lust. Humans are selfish

190 creatures. Love is giving. Contradictions Ahoy!

198 it very difficult to keep my cookies. Humans are selfish creatures? When seen

199 through your eyes they are. Fortunately for the rest of us creatures, these

|
|
200 feelings of persecution and self-doubt you wear on your shoulder are not
|

|
|
201 shared. How dare you make such accusations. Your own moniker indicates a
|

|
|
202 lack of understanding and the absence of reality from your world. But does
|

|
|
203 that stop you from making gross generalizations of psycho-babble examinations
|

204 regarding human emotions.

205 A famous author once wrote, through the words of a great hero, 'There is no

206 such thing as a contradiction. If you find yourself in such a situation, check
|

207 your premises.'
|

|

208 I suggest, dear Lunatic, that you do so.

262 : Darbon, those of us normal Backwater users understand. It is not a loss of
|
|||
|
|
263 face to go to the Parrot for this. Prowess, physical, doesn't matter to
|
|||
|
|
264 most of us. It can all be forgotten in a few days. For one, I wish it was
|
|||
|
|
265 forgotten now. Imperion - WC Wasp Bybee - The Trader Prince :

268 A consultant got a desparate call from a large company which develops dog
|
|||
|
|
269 food. "Help. Our dogs are getting fat." he is told. It turns out they run a
|
|||
|
|
270 large kennel with automatic feeding stations run by a Vax and the Vax was
|
|||
|
|
271 regularly crashing for reasons DEC couldn't figure out.
|
|||
|
|
272 Sure enough, he showed up the first time just in the middle of a crash.
|
|||
|
|
273 Pandemonium reigned as technicians ran around trying to reboot the system and
|
|||
|
|
274 the dogs were going wild because whenever the system crashed, all the food
|
|||
|
|
275 servers dumped the food.
|
|||
|
|
276 Since they had had a PDP-11 recently with no problems, and they upgraded
|
|||
|
|
277 the power to handle the Vax, he started looking around at the power system.
|
|||
|
|
278 Sure enough, the cable went through one smart dog's cage. It had a broken
|
|||
|
|
279 sheath, so some simple Pavlovian conditioning had taught this dog that
|
|||
|
|
280 whenever he relieved himself on that one spot, he was fed.

323 A man in a light brown trench coat slowly opened the wooden door to
|
|||
|
|
324 the darkened room. Artificial light spilled in from the corridor behind
|
|||
|
|
325 him forming a sharp silhouette about his figure. He was tall, six feet
|
|||
|
|
326 four maybe. His coat collar was upturned and the fedora was at a downtilt
|
|||
|
|
327 which hid his face in shadows. He stood immobile, waiting expectantly with
|
|||
|
|
328 right sleeve ending in a large pocket on the outside of the coat.
|
|||
|
|
329 The camera could see all this despite the dimness of the unlighted
|
|||
|
|
330 room. A small man sat before a 6-inch screen and focused the camera on the
|
|||
|
|
331 silhouette. He could not tell that the vague form was wearing a light
|
|||
|
|
332 brown trench coat or even that the fedora was dark brown; nor did he care.
|
|||
|
|
333 He only knew that this was his enemy. This was the one man who the small
|
|||
|
|
334 man wished forever absent. This dark vague form was evil. Slowly he
|
|||
|
|
335 followed the right sleeve down the side of the screen until he noticed a
|
|||
|
|
336 slight bulge in the pocket where it ended. A weapon undoubtedly, only the
|
|||
|
|
337 variety left him wondering. It may have been a pistol, explosive or some
|
|||
|
|
338 other new gadget. It did not matter though. Nothing would save his enemy
|
|||
|
|
339 now.
|
|||
|
|
340 The small bald man deliberately looked away from the screen as he
|
|||
|
|
341 ushed the glowing red button on the console in which the screen was inset.
|
|||
|
|
342 All the vague form's expertise could not save him from the blinding flash
|
|||
|
|
343 and thunderous sound that ensued and he was incinerated. The roar of the
|
|||
|
|
344 explosion reached the small man's ears and he chuckled.
|
|||
|
|
345 "It doesn't matter now, does it?" he spat. The figure had disappeared
|
|||
|
|
346 from the small screen and was replaced with minute dancing white and black
|
|||
|
|
347 images accompanied by the pleasing sound of static.

408 at the bulk of mankind. With nothing to watch the awesome display, a typhoon

409 had whipped itself up in the pacific. Not ANY typhoon, this one evidenced

411 itself only five minutes before it raged. From within the typhoon, the

412 swirling vortex of mist spun energies of vast and unchained proportions. Then,

413 the typhoon exploded in a displat of force and energy. From deep within the

504 |:0.445 after launch, a plume of black smoke burst from the side of the |
|
|||
|
|
505 | right-hand booster and was visible for about 12 seconds before |
|
|||
|
|
506 | disappearing. It was near a joint sealed by a pair of rubber O-rings |
|
|||
|
|
507 | intended to prevent hot gases from escaping from between two segments of
|
|||
|
|
508 | the booster. |
|
|||
|
|
509 |:58 seconds, smoke appeared on the side of the right-hand booster near a |
|
|||
|
|
510 | strut that attached it to the external liquid fuel tank. |
|
|||
|
|
511 |:59.249 seconds, an intense plume of flame appeared in this area, and the
|
|||
|
|
512 | chamber pressure in the booster rocket started to fall. Because of the |
|
|||
|
|
513 | pressure difference, the left-hand booster had more power and began |
|
|||
|
|
514 | tugging the shuttle slightly off course. |
|
|||
|
|
515 |:62.484 seconds, the shuttle's computers tried to compensate for the |
|
|||
|
|
516 | difference by moving the right wing flap. Mizell said the flap was moved |
|
|||
|
|
517 | so abruptly that it created a "spike" in radio data, indicating that the |
|
|||
|
|
518 | flame must have broken through the right-hand booster in explosive fashion|
|
|||
|
|
519 |:63.924 seconds and at 65.524 seconds, the computers directed first the |
|
|||
|
|
520 | right-hand main engine nozzle and then the left-hand main engine nozzle to|
|
|||
|
|
521 | swivel to try to compensate for the off-course motion. Mizell said this |
|
|||
|
|
522 | subjected Challenger to an up-and-down motion "like a porpoise moving |
|
|||
|
|
523 | through water." |
|
|||
|
|
524 |:66.174 seconds, bright spots and then a large glow appeared on the side |
|
|||
|
|
525 | of the right-hand booster. |
|
|||
|
|
526 |:67.684 seconds, pressure dropped in the oxygen tank that fed the system |
|
|||
|
|
527 | of small jet thrusters that steer the shuttle, indicating that one or more|
|
|||
|
|
528 | of the jets were firing to try to keep Challenger on course. |
|
|||

529 |:From 72.01 and 72.281 seconds, Challenger was rocked severely when the |
|
|||
|
|
530 | two boosters began working against each other. One tried to move left and |
|
|||
|
|
531 | the other right and then suddenly, one pitched slightly up and the other |
|
|||
|
|
532 | down and the spacecraft moved sideways. Mizell said the crew probably felt|
|
|||
|
|
533 | this but had no time to report it. |
|
|||
|
|
534 |:73.175 seconds, a puzzling cloud, perhaps from the liquid hydrogen fuel |
|
|||
|
|
535 | tank, appeared alongside the external tank. |
|
|||
|
|
536 |:73.201 seconds, fire flashed between the shuttle and the external tank. |
|
|||
|
|
537 |:73.226 seconds, the external tank exploded near the forward attachment |
|

|
|
538 | strut. |

550 Hmm, doesn't look like the end to me..... Should I start posting like when
|
|||
|
|
551 I originally started calling BW so long ago?? It would certainly be a change
|
|||
|
|
552 from current entries, for better or worse I know not. Does anyone even know
|
|||
|
|
553 what I used to enter?? Does anyone remember?? I'll wait, maybe sometime in
|

|

554 the near future I'll start again.

561 commenced. Wonder how much space we have now. I could fill it with garbage,

562 like some of the people around here do (666, a little hokey) but I'm not that

576 Busy, busy. Programming, The Commodore Show in LA, and travel arrangements

|
577 sadly have made me shift to lurkus modius infreqentus. Despite the fact that
|
|||
|
|
578 "The Commodore Show" turned out more like "The Amiga Show" (my company has a
|
|||
|
|
579 C64 product), I enjoyed myself. The view of the smog from the LAX Hilton is
|
|||
|
|
580 impressive.

613 Were they really brave astronauts? Were they really the people we idolize them

614 as now that they are dead?
|

|

615 Who is to say that they were not up there just to get glory and publicity? Granted, they were
|
|||
|
|
616 people and did not deserve to die, but we must remember that people are not always what they seem
|
|||
|

617 to us after they are gone. Was the hipe too much? Who's fault was it?
|

|

618 Many more will die. They knew the risks. It was never a game, it was never 'safe' and it
|

619 never will be. The technological threshhold has been crossed. Whenever we butt up against this
