20 The Big Bang Theory:
|
||
|
|
21 Imagine that you are an ant on a sponge. Suddenly the sponge explodes.
|
||
|
|
22 As each piece flies apart from every other peice, all the pieces are
|
||
|
|
23 equally far away from one another. The pieces farthest away are are going
|
||
|
|
24 faster than you are. One day every piece of sponge except us will will be
|
||
|
|
25 out of sight. Too late then to wish we had been on a faster piece of
|
||
|
|
26 sponge. This is the Big Bang Theory. Before the big bang we must imagine
|
||
|
|
27 a glowing ball of something, without any edges. This is the ball which,
|
||
|
|
28 by a process not understood, turned into a sponge.

32 Cultist? Yes, in a way, but a cultist of a different color. I do not consider
|
||
|
|
33 myself a Jonsian-styled cultist. Because of this, I always run a chemical
|
||
|
|
34 analysis on any koolaid I might be offered. A love of music and art might be
|
||
|
|
35 considered a cult - a cult of a mindset steeped in expression and presentation.
|
||
|
|
36
|
||
|
|
37 Life is like a sine wave of varying amplitude and frequency. The peaks and
|
||
|
|
38 valleys are composed of different heights and depths, and the distance from
|
||
|
|
39 the minima/maxima of valley/peak is also in constant flux. Always changing,
|
||
|
|
40 up and down, our lives and our life flows always forward. One day feels
|
||
|
|
41 greater than the next. Next week brings utter despair and the accompanying
|
||
|
|
42 depths. The slope is forever changing. The derivatives of the line that
|
||
|
|
43 traces this path must always be recalculated.
|
||
|
|
44 Life might be a cult. We put so much energy into it. We give up everything
|
||
|
|
45 for it. We put all our hopes and dreams on it. And if we lose those hopes
|
||
|
|
46 and dreams, we might as well drink fully of that tainted liquid despair.

52 Addiction - and Cults. Put the two together, shaken, not stirred, and
|
||
|
|
53 you end up with a Cult of Addiction. Shades of THX 1138! Is there really
|
||
|
|
54 addiction to anything? Or is every redundent habit an addiction, an
|
||
|
|
55 affliction, a rash that we dig, groovy huh? Cults are addictions to
|
||
|
|
56 religion, maybe. But I know one thing; Cults were never my strong
|
||
|
|
57 point. Why should I listen to other people about how to screw up my
|
||
|
|
58 life more effectively than I ever could do for myself? My brain would
|
||
|
|
59 be mush before I would consider shaving my head for starving children and

||
|
|
60 taking money to feed my Zen Master in a New York High-Rise. Let me
|
||
|
|
61 make my own victories, and my own mistakes. And if I don't learn from
|
||
|
|
62 my mistakes, then I guess I'll just have to suffer. Or do I still impact
|
||
|
|
63 everyone around me if I make a mistake? Zounds, my mind is wandering!

115 Stray Cat : I will not enter in to any sort of border conflict, but I will
|
||
|
|
116 point out a couple things: I have been using this random sequence of characters
|
||
|
|
117 from the top row of the keyboard since approximately 1984. As the keeper of the
|
||
|
|
118 BW archives, it is my business to track such important event sequences in BW
|
||
|
|
119 history. Secondly, one of the reasons I chose such a border is that NO ONE
|
||
|
|
120 can lay claim to a random sequence of alpha characters. It changes every time,
|
||
|
|
121 an ever mutating boundary that signifies a beginning and an end. Like the
|
||
|
|
122 wind and the land and the sky, it can be owned by no one, and used by all.
|
||
|
|
123 You are the first person to ever claim it as solely (ie MY) their own. I
|
||
|
|
124 think there are enough permutations to go around for us all. I will continue
|
||
|
|
125 to utilize the wonders of random muscular exertions on the keyboard, as I
|
||
|
|
126 have been doing for the past four years. I believe the phrase is "let your

182 would harm his brother.
|

|

183 "I'm always ready.", Mark replied. "In there I'm still alive, out here

184 I'm already dead." He brushed a few strands of blond hair out of his eyes

252 John reached towards a small machine in the center of the table. It
|
||
|
|
253 looked like a futuristic tape player. He flipped a little switch on its
|
||
|
|
254 side and waited while it warmed up, a small red light on its side blinked to
|
||
|
|
255 warn against premature use. This was there connection to the databanks of
|
||
|
|
256 the world. One need only put on the headset and be sent to a computer
|
||
|
|
257 representation of the entire International Data Transfer System. John and
|
||
|
|
258 Mark stole from this system. It was the only way they could live.
|
||
|
|
259 The red warm up light kept blinking on and off, on and off. It lulled
|
||
|
|
260 John into a small trance, calling up repressed thoughts from his
|
||
|
|
261 subconscious. He began mantaly talking to himself. Marks getting to weak
|
||
|
|
262 for this, he thought. I should take care of him, not kill him. Who knows
|
||
|
|
263 what a mental shock could do to him. Johns Mother had made him promise to
|
||
|
|
264 watch over Mark before she had died. She didn't know that the boys had used
|
||
|
|
265 up most of her estate to try and keep her alive.
|
||
|
|
266 "John!", Mark yelled. "Yo John, are you there?!"
|
||
|
|
267 "Huh...Oh sorry, I didn't hear you." John said. "What did you say?"
|
||
|
|
268 Mark shot an evil look across the table. "The Link-Up is ready!"

|
|
339 That is except for Zod. He is here to test his exclamation key. Back in the
|
||
|
|
340 dark ages of computing, when the words of the new world were being formed, a
|
||
|
|
341 learned group coined the term TWIT to identify certain users who showed a
|
||
|
|
342 remarkable lack of intelligence and learning ability. Through the years,
|
||
|
|
343 different people have stepped forward to claim the title of HEAD TWIT. We
|
||
|
|
344 all remember DESTROY THE WOLD, and 666, and PEN NAME.
|
||
|
|
345
|
||
|
|
346 This year's winner of HEAD TWIT needs no introduction, as General Zod has
|
||
|
|
347 gained in sheer volume what he lacks in pure twitliness. His threats and
|
||
|
|
348 scare tactics are known the board over. The heavy leaning on the ! key, the
|
||
|
|
349 spelling errors, and mindless drivel, even the lack of sensible grammar has
|
||
|
|
350 made this year's winner a runaway landslide victor.
|
||
|
|
351 Congratulations Zod, you have joined the ranks of some pretty non-heady
|
||
|
|
352 company. You should be proud that your brain-damaged entries on Back Water
|
||
|
|
353 have done more than gained you the electronic hatred of thousands of users,
|

354 you have netted an award that many strive for but only a few ever achieve.

517 Why destroy a smile just because it isn't who you thought it was? A smile
|
||
|
|
518 is a wonderful gift that is easy to give, costs nothing from the material
|
||
|
|
519 world, and can profit yourself and the receiver many times whatever the
|
||
|
|
520 cost involved. A smile for a stranger is a valuable gift, as it reassures
|
||
|
|
521 each of us, when we are the ststranger that the world is not a completely
|
||
|
|
522 cold and alone place. Such a simple thing, such a wonderful thing.

537 My apologies to Lord B., I'm on sabbatical. My values are
|
||
|
|
538 screwed up again (for the 8192th time, I think). Hard to be both
|
||
|
|
539 a Guru and do everything else. Hmmm, seems that I could balence myself
|
||
|
|
540 between all things. It could be done...(if Leonardo did it, so can I!)
|
||
|
|
541 I shall return in short time, being a full-fledged Guru & mush-mind.
|
||
|
|
542
|
||
|
|
543 In the mean time, I will always appear and check on the board's
|
||
|
|
544 progress (not to be confused with Pilgrims or any other religion/cult).
|
||
|
|
545 If need be I will return prematurely.
|
||
|
|
546
|
||
|
|
547 (Damn) he thought, (I want to sleep more).
|
||
|
|
548 He roused himself, and stood up in bed. It was a cold day
|
||
|
|
549 outside, and it didn't help with his urge to return to the comfortable
|
||
|
|
550 sheets of his bed; the cold air was biting his skin, waking him like a
|
||
|
|
551 slap on the face. Suddenly, he was hungry. And constipated. (Ugh), he
|
||
|
|
552 thought, (I need some food. Go to the john first...). Walking to te
|
||
|
|
553 bathroom seemed like eternity, but he was feeling better five minutes
|
||
|
|
554 later. The stomach lodged in his gut gave him a not-so-gentle remier
|
||
|
|
555 that he required protiens to live, as he walked out of the small room.
|
||
|
|
556 (Food. Always food. Feed me...) he thought, as he dressed himself. His
|
||
|
|
557 suit from yesterday was soiled, so he put his spare on. The
|
||
|
|
558 polyfiber felt good, warm, on his skin. He was fully awake now, and
|
||
|
|
559 was checking the equipment for proper operation. The environsuit responded
|
||
|
|
560 with a good systems check after 5 seconds. He then snapped the seals, and
|
||
|
|
561 stepped outside with crunching sounds beneath his feet. The first thing
|
||
|
|
562 he saw was a husk of what was a gravtrans; it was in shards. Blastmarks
|
||
|
|
563 covered the little old transport. (Damnit!) he thought, (the stink'n
|
||
|
|
564 rogues passed though last night! I knew I should have had it orbiting!)
|
||
|
|
565 He quickly punched up the defensive systems, which armed his exterior
|
||
|
|
566 weapons.

603 Mercury, my time in sabbatical will be short. If I return as a Guru, I
|
||
|
|
604 will be quite different from what I am now. Time is the true test of all
|
||
|
|
605 things.
|
||
|
|
606
|
||
|
|
607 A quick scan of the area showed no higher electronics in any active state.
|
||
|
|
608 (Rogues must have past through last night, nailed my gravtrans, and went
|
||
|
|
609 on to another sector) he thought. He was still pissed; the gravtrans would
|
||
|
|
610 be difficult to replace. Sigh. But his defensive systems were picking
|
||
|
|
611 up a heat source against the background, at body temperature. Only one
|
||
|
|
612 source was identified. (It couldn't be the rogues, or any other wandering
|
||
|
|
613 group. It must be another individualist) A few quick adjustments to
|
||
|
|
614 the external sensory and he suddenly picked up an audio track. The on-
|
||
|
|
615 board system identified the source as human, about 175 pounds, carrying
|
||
|
|
616 gear. (Confusing) he thought (but interesting...) He decided to
|
||
|
|
617 take cover and wait for the arival of the person. The footsteps were
|
||
|
|
618 coming closer and closer...he held his finger tight; for if that trigger
|
||
|
|
619 sensor should think he was pointing, a small portion of hell would be
|
||
|
|
620 unleashed upon whatever he was pointing to. (Wait and see, wait and
|
||
|
|
621 see...)

698 President Ronald Reagan has announced that he does not intend to leave the
|
||
|
|
699 White House when his term expires at the end of the year. "It's a nice place
|
||
|
|
700 ," Reagan said. "It's comfortable and Nancy likes it. We kinda got used to it.
|
||
|
|
701 My favorite chair is here and I have the cutest little garden in back. No, were
|
||
|
|
702 gonna keep it."
|
||
|
|
703
|
||
|
|
704 Reagan said that whoever replaces him can get a room at the Hilton and charge
|
||
|
|
705 it to the government. Reagan would even allow him to use the Oval Office. "But
|
||
|
|
706 come five o'clock," said the President, "out he goes."

718 The 'target' came into view. It was humanoid, about 2 meters tall,
|
||
|
|
719 and in parial armor. (LesSee if I can get a facial...) he cranked the
|
||
|
|
720 visor display up to 15x. But when the humanoid turned around, it was
|
||
|
|
721 wearing a visor too. (Oh piss and potatoes, it spotted me!) He was now
|
||
|
|
722 quickly thinking for areas to run to. The EEG picked this up and registered
|
||
|
|
723 panic/fear. This in turn caused a local land servey and location selection
|
||
|
|
724 program to find new defensive positions. He always felt a little startled
|
||
|
|
725 when his suit could pick up his ideas and feelings before he had time
|
||
|
|
726 to enter them, but in this case, he welcomed the analysis of the defensive
|
||
|
|
727 systems. {SHRAK} (OOOUUCH!) a hand maser punctured a tiny little hole into
|
||
|
|
728 his right upper arm. He was first feeling scared; now he was angry. The
|
||
|
|
729 suit (again) picked this up and re-configured for offensive programs. He
|
||
|
|
730 threw both of his hands towards the 'target'. Every single weapon contained
|
||
|
|
731 on the 'suit fired, consuming enough energy to power a town for a day. The
|
||
|
|
732 visor automatically shut off for 1/10 of a second as his total firepower
|
||
|
|
733 created a small sun before his eyes. The next thing he saw was three old
|
||
|
|
734 city blocks ablaze, just like the napalm he used to tinker with. He was happy.
|
||
|
|
735
|
||
|
|
736 And then all hell broke loose. Only emergency power was availible,
|
||
|
|
737 and the internal environment support was shut down. (Sh*t! Power is sapped!
|
||
|
|
738 Need to recharge, now!) and he was fumbling to open the solar panels on
|
||
|
|
739 the back, fighting the weight of the 'dead' suit around him, trying not
|
||
|
|
740 to use all of the emergency reserves he had left. He started to breathe
|
||
|
|
741 harder and harder as the carbon dioxide replaced his good air. (Oh no, the
|
||
|
|
742 seals are jammed! And there's not enough power to unlock them all!)

759 Does this board allow new users to write stories? Someone told me that you did
|

760 but also said that only professional writers are appreciated and that the

|
761 users would get angry if a new writer tried his hand at creating anything.
|

762 Is this fact or fiction?

|
||
|
|
770 Shard, By all means, write! That's what this board is here for. It is
|
||
|
|
771 here for you to express yourself! Most writer's here are amatures and not
|
||
|
|
772 professional. While occasionally someone raises a voice against a new
|
||
|
|
773 writer, it is generally some twit who can't write themself and figures that
|
||
|
|
774 no one else should either.
|
||
|
|
775 P.S. I have very few rules here, but there are a couple that Iadhere to.
|
||
|
|
776 This is expressed in the opening 20 lines of each disk. The first is no
|
||
|
|
777 obscenity, some people are offended by it. I'm not, but I don't want to
|
||
|
|
778 loose good users for something that can be easily avoided.
|
||
|
|
779 The other rule is threats against others or passing information that does
|
||
|
|
780 not belong on a public system. These types of messages are generally removed,
|
||
|
|
781 and if the user persists their account is revolked.
|
||
|
|
782 Beyond these simple rules, you are free to enter what you like, stories,
|
||
|
|
783 debates, rants, raves, you name it.
|
||
|
|
784 P.P.S. remember when this disk gets full it is moved to DB, and a new
|
||
|
|
785 one placed here, so this disk will magically empty out periotica|ly.

887 A bar owner with a sense of co}pacsion decided to open a lounge for
|
||
|
|
888 deaf-mutes. In the beginning, the barkeeper designated simple hand
|
||
|
|
889 signals for different drinks. One finger raised in the air meant a
|
||
|
|
890 beer, two fingers for whiskey, and three fingers for wine.
|
||
|
|
891
|
||
|
|
892 In a short time, he had a booming business, so he decided to hire
|
||
|
|
893 another man to serve drinks. When the new bartender arrived, the owner
|
||
|
|
894 explained the signal system, but warned him NOT to serve more than three
|
||
|
|
895 drinks to a person.

936 Hello, folks, it feels good to be back. 'Just scanned the board 'n found

937 it to be in good shape. But where is Lord Beaker?
|

938
|

|
|
939 To the newer users, I am Hagbard Celine, soon-to-be Guru. Y have just
|
||
|
|
940 returned from sabbatical, and my values are bent into a straight line. We
|
||
|
|
941 (the population of Backwater) were infested with Zits (oops) Zods who
|
||
|
|
942 would fester messages everywhere. But Zod has left for new grounds to
|
||
|
|
943 conquer (cp) (maybe he's at the playground...)
|
||
|

944
|
||
|
|
945 A blip appeared on the HUD of his visor. A tiny one. It meant that
|
||
|
|
946 the suit was trying to recharge. He struggled with it more, and got a
|
||
|
|
947 single panel open off of his back. The blip turnud i~to a short bar.
|
||
|
|
948 (This is going to be slow. Oh well. At least the scavenger got what it
|
||
|
|
949 deserved. Damn he, she, or whatever it was. Why did it fire?) and he
|
||
|
|
950 continued to ponder these thoughts, standing for several hours and
|
||
|
|
951 beco}ing0tired. At the end of the fourth hour, there was enough power
|
||
|
|
952 for him to start the autoarticulators for his arms up. Promptly opening
|
||
|
|
953 the other three panels, the suit began a full recharge. He was walking
|
||
|
|
954 in ten minutes, running in two, qnd cruising in one. Thirty minutes
|
||
|
|
955 after that, he was at his 'home', a concrete/carbonplas geodestic dome
|
||
|
|
956 buried half under the ground. When inside, his stomach gave him another
|
||
|
|
957 reminder about his empty food locker, but he was concer~ed with the
|
||
|
|
958 tiny maser hole in his arm (Antibiotics will take care of that, and the
|
||
|
|
959 self-repair programs will seal over the hole. 'Just need to get some
|
||
|
|
960 fussion material) he thought as he tossed an empty beer can into a port
|
||
|
|
961 on the ani}atet suit's hip. (That should power it, along with the
|
||
|
|
962 recharged fuel cells.) He watched, facinated, as his 'suirepaired
|
||
|
|
963 itself at the workshop. He began to ponder again, about this 'skin'
|
||
|
|
964 that he depended upon. It protects him, serves xim,0it almost was
|
||
|
|
965 him - Holistic Computers usually picked up the personallity of their
|
||
|
|
966 owners - but it was errie, watching a dead object act alive, as if
|
||
|
|
967 he himself were inside. It troubled him, and he always tried to come
|
||
|
|
968 to terms wydh id. (Ouch! Need to get some food. NOW.) as his stomach
|
||
|
|
969 gave a third jolting at dinnertime. He climbed in, re-did the seals,
|
||
|
|
970 and went outside.
