32 Perhaps if you look on the board that is known as Bit-Bucket you will find
|

|
33 our beloved Pam. I have seen her there and believe if you were to leave
|
|||
|

34 her a message there she might just return. We all miss her wit and compassio

|
|||
|
|
40 We tromped through the forest for what seemed like days. Other than
|
|||
|
|
41 an occasional munchkin or small furry animal scuttling by, we didn't see
|
|||
|
|
42 much. On the second day though, an event occurred that would have
|
|||
|
|
43 significant impact on out quest. The woods had started to thin out, and we
|
|||
|
|
44 could just catch glimpses of a clearing ahead.
|
|||
|
|
45 As we neared the clearing, a small furry animal hesitantly hopped into
|
|||
|
|
46 the middle of the yellow brick road and stopped. Its brown, doelike eyes
|
|||
|
|
47 stared up at us balefully. Wassir did something that suprised me. He
|
|||
|
|
48 pulled a crust of brad out of his pocket (one of our last, I must add) and
|
|||
|
|
49 happily fed it to the small animal -- a serene smile on his face. I kept
|
|||
|
|
50 silent.
|
|||
|
|
51 Finally, the animal went merrily on his way. Wassir broke the silence;
|
|||
|
|
52 "You know Salazar, that little animal is lucky... If McKane had been around,
|
|||
|
|
53 he'd be a set of earmuffs by now."
|
|||
|
|
54 "Mohammed, that's disgusting!"
|
|||
|
|
55 "Yeah, well so's McKane."
|
|||
|
|
56 As we started towards the clearing... a voice spoke as if inside our
|
|||
|
|
57 heads. #Thank you for the food, big ones# As we looked around for the
|
|||
|
|
58 speaker, it spoke again: #If you ever need help, just call for us#
|
|||
|
|
59 We could find no one.
|
|||
|
|
60 When we reached the clearing, we found a large meadow with the road
|
|||
|
|
61 running through it. Off in the distance, spires of a magnificent city were
|
|||
|
|
62 visible. The meadow was filled with bright yellow blossoms which gave offf
|
|||
|
|
63 a sweet aroma.
|
|||
|
|
64 Wassir started quickly into the meadow. I held him back and said;
|
|||
|
|
65 "Hold it Mohammed, didn't you ever see the Wizard of Oz on TV?"
|
|||
|
|
66 "Albanians don't fool with capitalist toys such as TV's."
|
|||
|
|
67 "Well, you should have. Those nice looking flowers are lotus blossoms.
|
|||
|
|
68 Go out these and you'll have wonderful dreams... Forever."
|
|||
|
|
69 "O.K., what do we do now?"
|
|||
|
|
70 "Bushwhack along the edge of the forest and go around the meadow."
|
|||
|
|
71 As we turned to enter the forest, a tremendous whooshing sound came
|
|||
|
|
72 from behind us. The light from the sun was blocked by an enormous shadow.
|
|||
|
|
73 We both hit the ground. My .44 jumped into my hand. Glancing up, I saw a
|
|||
|
|
74 gigantic creature. Its belly consisted of large greenish-blue scales.
|
|||
|
|
75 Carried by stout leathery wings, a long tail followed behind it.
|
|||
|
|
76 As it disappeared in the distance, Wassir gasped; "What was that?"
|
|||
|
|
77 "A dragon. That can mean only one thing... The Dragon Lady must be
|
|||
|
|
78 involved in this. We'll have to tread warily. We don't have the firepower
|
|||
|
|
79 to cross lances with her."
|
|||
|
|
80 With a sense of apprehension, we headed into the forest. The city lay
|
|||
|
|
81 ahead of us.

83 P.S. Mikey -- Regarding our conversation the other night... Made contact
|
|||
|
|
84 with Pam. She said that her disappearance from your friendly Inn was due
|
|||
|
|
85 to a combination of a broken modem and pressing obligation. She should
|
|||
|
|
86 return by the first of the month. Not a result of anything you did. --V--

|
|||
|
|
122 The group seemed somewhat quieted by the incursion of a stranger into their
|
|||
|
|
123 midst. The metal man began to speak to the piper -- "nev-er-the-less, it does
|
|||
|
|
124 not squreek grawdb mxflb normb nonrem exprevb ..." the metal man stopped.
|
|||
|
|
125 Perplexed by this seeming malfunction, the piper stood a moment then noticed
|
|||
|
|
126 a motion behind him. Out of the same door from which Tik-toc had come, an old
|
|||
|
|
127 lady was walking. Her step seemed rather sprightly despite her snow-white
|
|||
|
|
128 hair. Her face was filled with wrinkles, but radiated a lively good humor. She
|
|||
|
|
129 walked over to Tic-k-toc and removed a large brass key from a hook on the back of
|
|||
|
|
130 his neck. Inserting the key in an opening under his left arm, she quickly
|
|||
|
|
131 wound up the mechanism. Tik-toc turned to her, bowed and said "thank you
|
|||
|
|
132 dorothy, my think-ing mech-an-isms was be-in used quite heav-e-ly."
|
|||
|
|
133 The piper looked at the old lady and gasped, "You -- you're Dorothy ?????"
|
|||
|
|
134 She smiled at the confounded piper and replied, "Dorothy Gale, late of Kansas
|
|||
|
|
135 and for about the last 60 or 70 years of the land of Oz. What can we do for
|
|||
|
|
136 you and your party?"
|
|||
|
|
137 The piper was lost for words. "But - but - you were supposed to be a little
|
|||
|
|
138 girl! How -- I mean why -- but -- but"
|
|||
|
|
139 Dorothy smiled at the confused man. "You mean how and why am I now old?
|
|||
|
|
140 You should know, being an expert on modifying realities yourself. Remember, the
|
|||
|
|
141 existance of Oz is dated from the publishing of the first book, 'The Wizard of
|
|||
|
|
142 Oz' by L. Frank Baum. When this book first was read, the land of Oz took on
|
|||
|
|
143 its existince. Many other books followed, each enriching the texture and
|
|||
|
|
144 content of the land and bringing in many and fabulous creatures. I assumed
|
|||
|
|
145 existance as about 8 years old and lived for many years in Oz without aging.
|
|||
|
|
146 Some years later, I returned to the United States looking for Ozma's father and
|
|||
|
|
147 aged those years in an instant. I decided at that time to never leave Oz again.
|
|||
|
|
148 All was well for several years until they mad that movie. I have never quite
|
|||
|
|
149 forgiven Hollywood for that act. In the space of a few short months, I had to
|
|||
|
|
150 go through puberty! After puberty, the aging process cannot be arrested, so
|
|||
|
|
151 I have aged at a normal rate until now. I hope that answers your questions
|
|||
|
|
152 and we can now take up the subject of your appearance here. We do not wish to
|
|||
|
|
153 appear unkind, but we do not want troops of vagabonds invading our pleasant
|
|||
|
|
154 reality tracking mud on the clover, fighting and bleeding on our lanscape."

264 PROMISED MORE OF THE SAME STORY LINE AND I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

265 DAYS...AND IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE WAITING MORE DAYS. sigh

|
|
267 My, my! I reality-shift for a couple of days to blow my nose down in
|
|||
|
|
268 Salemtown, and when I come back, all sorts of transpirations have
|
|||
|
|
269 transpired.
|
|||
|
|
270 Mad Actor: It was good to see you back. You were the first and
|
|||
|
|
271 almost the only one to have the courtesy to welcome me to the adven-
|
|||
|
|
272 ture, and I want to reciprocate.
|
|||
|
|
273 "555": Hey, buddy, lay off. I'm about as slab-sided and unimaginative
|
|||
|
|
274 as they come, but I'm enjoying it. I grant you that I don't much cotton
|
|||
|
|
275 to all this talk about tactical nuclear weapons and all that sort of
|
|||
|
|
276 jazz (?!?), but nevertheless, I'm having a good time here. Maybe
|
|||
|
|
277 deDDDEBORAH [sic!] has a good idea, but if you are looking to trade
|
|||
|
|
278 software or used bottle caps or whatnot, try another BBS. Everybody is
|
|||
|
|
279 having too good a time on this one. Besides, I want to await the return
|
|||
|
|
280 of Pam also.
|
|||
|
|
281 All: As for the Inn dropping down in Kansas, forget it! Why don't we
|
|||
|
|
282 try someplace with a little charm, such as Appalachia.

|

|

421 ***************************************************************
|
|||
|
|
422
|
|||
|
|
423 Deborah:
|
|||
|
|
424
|
|||
|
|
425 I'm certainly not against getting a good arguement going. It's
|
|||
|
|
426 the diversity of Backwater that makes it interesting and even
|
|||
|
|
427 I admit that too much fantasy can get old. My concern is in
|
|||
|
|
428 how we transition from fantasy to seriousness and back.
|
|||
|
|
429
|
|||
|
|
430 I've been following Backwater for some time now and I've
|
|||
|
|
431 observed a pattern.
|
|||
|
|
432
|
|||
|
|
433 When the serious folks dominate the screen the fantasy folks
|
|||
|
|
434 politely wait for them to run out of things to say. They then
|
|||
|
|
435 offer a bit of whimsy to see if anyone will take the bait. If
|
|||
|
|
436 not, they patiently wait while the serious discussion resumes.
|
|||
|
|
437
|
|||
|
|
438 When the fantasy folks dominate the screen it is quite
|
|||
|
|
439 different. Invariably some obnoxious boor starts calling
|
|||
|
|
440 people names, insulting their work, and demanding they move
|
|||
|
|
441 aside for serious discussion.
|
|||
|
|
442
|
|||
|
|
443 What I find aggravating is that the fantasy people not only
|
|||
|
|
446 back down from these bullies but actually try to start a
|
|||
|
|
447 serious discussion to entertain them. I think we should have
|
|||
|
|
448 more self respect than that.
|
|||
|
|
449
|
|||
|
|
450 I have no use for bullies. I don't put up with them anywhere
|
|||
|
|
451 else and I see no reason to put up with them here.
|
|||
|
|
452
|
|||
|
|
453 There is an accepted way to change the tone and direction
|
|||
|
|
454 what happens on this screen. If the bullies aren't smart
|
|||
|
|
455 enough to figure that out we needn't help them. If they act
|
|||
|
|
456 like fools they should be treated like fools.
|
|||
|
|
457
|
|||
|
|
458
|
|||
|
|
459 If you're really hot for some serious discussion then go for
|
|||
|
|
460 it. But if you've merely been intimidated by 555 I ask that
|
|||
|
|
461 you don't try to turn the topic until you're doing it for
|
|||
|
|
462 yourself.
|
|||
|
|
463
|
|||
|
|
464 We don't need bullies on this system. The best way to keep
|
|||
|
|
465 them out is to ignor them.

485 on the outside, it doesn't follow that it is harmless. The vehicle whose owner

486 I'd least like to tangle with appears to be a simple wood and metal box, about

508 Mr. McKane:
|

|
|
509 I am not fooled by your aliases. Your charges against me are blatant
|
|||
|
|
510 fabrications. I am an old gray-haired doctor, just trying to make ends
|
|||
|

511 meet. I must admit to being a friend of Mr. Wassir. Gosh, what a nice
|
|||
|
|
512 person. Also how is the earmuff factory going? Run out of small fuzzy
|
|||
|
|
513 animals yet? <You rascal>
|
|||
|
|
514 All:
|
|||
|
|
515 As a subject of serious discussion, has anyone noted the goings on at
|
|||
|
|
516 PMS recently. It seems the Sysop there is trying to wring every penny out
|
|||
|
|
517 of his users. Take the case of poor Lane Hoffman. His ads appear on most
|
|||
|
|
518 of the BBS's. They may be a little tiresome, but he should have a right to
|
|||
|
|
519 try to make a buck. But on PMS he gets charged for it. Someone else placed
|
|||
|
|
520 an ad there and on another BBS. They get charged for a commercial transfer
|
|||
|
|
521 fee (Whatever that is). Now I have a feeling that the people who use the
|
|||
|
|
522 system for free are either going to have their services cut or have to pay
|
|||
|
|
523 to continue on the system. I don't mind paying money for a quality service;
|
|||
|
|
524 but I can't see paying for services available elsewhere for free. If he needs
|
|||
|
|
525 donations to keep his system working, I'd gladly contribute. However, I think
|
|||
|
|
526 he is just trying to make as much as he can from whoever he can. No real
|
|||
|
|
527 service provided. Discussion?

531 GARY: YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE SEVERAL SEPARATE
|
|||
|
|
532 'IDENTITIES'. I MYSELF HAVE ONE FOR THE FANTASY SIDE OF THINGS AND
|
|||
|
|
533 ONE FOR MORE SERIOUS DISCUSSIONS. IT MAY BE THE ALTENATING USES
|
|||
|
|
534 OF THESE THAT YOU ARE OBSERVING WITH ME AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE BOARD.

|

|
|
538 Evan: I too have more than one "identity" (Grand Dragonmaster,
|
|||
|
|
539 LeRoy McKane, Monsieur d'Autun, Bill Broonzy, Natasha before
|
|||
|
|
540 her unfortunate demise) but I find no need to make spiteful
|
|||
|
|
541 comments about the contributions of others. I don't always get
|
|||
|
|
542 excited by others contributions. I'm sure others don't always
|
|||
|
|
543 get excited by mine. But I would never call anyone names
|
|||
|
|
544 because I didn't appreciate how they use this forum.
|
|||
|
|
545
|
|||
|
|
546 I seriously doubt that those who attack our rights to use our
|
|||
|
|
547 imaginations are engaged in fantasy. I believe they are
|
|||
|
|
548 outsiders who just drop by to raise a little hell. They are
|
|||
|
|
549 bullies, not contributors, and should be treated accordingly.

577 Dr. Frankenstupe et alii:
|
|||
|
|
578 Regarding the PMS BBS, I cannot say anything about the charges for serv-
|
|||
|
|
579 ices, having only logged on to it once. However, I bethought myself that
|
|||
|
|
580 a 5 minute time limit was a limit in more than just name. Some of the
|
|||
|
|
581 other serious boards (Bit Bucket, CBBS/NW, Beaverton RCP/M, whatever) are
|
|||
|
|
582 a little more realistic. I only recently got into this modeming stuff
|
|||
|
|
583 (although by no means into computers), but that 5 minute time limit on
|
|||
|
|
584 PMS definitely turned me off. Granted, some people are piggish, and the
|
|||
|
|
585 Sysops should rightfully pull the plug on them, but other boards seem to
|
|||
|
|
586 be a little more realistic and generous. They deserve the support.

588 FOTI:
|
|||
|
|
589 Yes, the gem is real. I didn't pick it up in his foyer, but in a back lab.
|
|||
|
|
590 If you would recall earlier, the wizard was doing experiments on it.
|
|||
|
|
591 ______
|
|||
|
|
592
|
|||
|
|
593 Slowly I begin to come to. As the room comes into focus, Jonathon's
|
|||
|
|
594 face starts to materialize.
|
|||
|
|
595 Aaaaaahhhhh! The blood is starting to circulate again. Wait, my stick shift
|
|||
|
|
596 hand is still paralized. He must have forgot the mangoes. At least I'm partly
|
|||
|
|
597 alive.
|
|||
|
|
598 As Jonathon walks orders another drink, I make a flash run to the door.
|
|||
|
|
599 I've had enough of this. I don't know what this egg does, but I'll hide it unti
|
|||
|
|
600 I figure out what to do. I'll have a messenger send a drink to the wizard while
|
|||
|
|
601 I pour myself one. Maybe we can get together sometime.
