Naah, Life consists primarily of four parts:
|
||
Fast cars
|
||
Fast computers
|
||
Sex
|
||
Loud music
|
||
|
||
There are a few other things worth mentioning about Life, like, say,
|
||
money, more sex, and Mountain Dew, but those are the big four.

Hmm. I've seen Phantasm //, but never Phantasm. The biggest thing I
|
||
remember about Phantasm // was the silver balls that flew around killing
|
||
people, and the way they blew up a beautiful mint-condition 1967
|
||
Hemi 'Cuda. It was the most obscene thing I've ever seen--when that
|

beautiful car went up in flames, I wanted to cry. There should be a

Quarters isn't really as much fun as Mexican...a somewhat obscure and

more complex drinking game played with two six-sided dice. It's kind of

Okay, okay, I'll bite. (And no, I'm not a snapping turtle!) Turtle
|
||
is, of course, unique, but most closely resembles a large, anthro-
|
||
pomorphic version of a Southeast Asian wood turtle. He's brown and
|
||
orange, with orange highlights on his shell. And he is, naturally, a
|
||
hard-rock Turtle (a particular sub-species of Turtle, you understand,
|
||
which is kind of silly since Turtle's species has no other members and
|
||
he is therefore not only unique, but a unique sub-species of his own
|
||
species as well...Never mind.)

Do you know how much work a beaver does to build a damn? First they
|
||
have to decide where to put the damn. Next they form commitees on what
|
||
the enviromental impact will be, what the benefits will be, etc..etc..
|
||
Next they have to secure a building permit from the 'Beaver Builders of
|
||
America', then they build. First they have to get the raw materials.
|
||
They either have to gnaw down trees and other items, or they learn
|
||
to drive, and go down to Home Depot and buy the stuff. But do you know
|
||
the kinda looks beavers get when they ask "Scuse me sir, where's the
|
||
cement at? Oh yea, we need a chain saw, and a few dozen 2 x 4s"
|
||
Anyways, once they get the materials, they have to build. This means
|
||
they gotta put up safety nets, deal with unions, vacations, and
|
||
sometimes a strike or two. And once it is built, they have to dedicate
|
||
it to someone. Since "The Jerry Mathers Memorial Damn" has been used
|
||
about 40 times, they have to really think of a good name. After it's
|
||
been built and named, they have to have the ribbon cutting ceremony.
|
||
Unfortunatly(sp?), they can't use scissors to well, so they gnaw the
|
||
ribbon, which is usually plastic, so they ingest the plastic, and die!

I am typing this message on a bizarre terminal called the Executive
|
||
10/78. I'm not really sure what good the thing is, mind you, especially
|
||
seeing as how the backspace key doesn't really work and I have to use
|
||
ALT-H to backspace. Not ^H, you say? No, ALT-H. The other thing is,
|
||
well, the damn thing has a 3278 keyboard layout and it's an incredible
|
||
pain in the butt to type on, seeing as how the ENTER key is down by the
|
||
spacebar, the exact same way the LUIS terminals at New College are
|
||
arranged. In fact, this keyboard /is/ the same as the ones that the
|
||
LUIS terminals use; in fact, it has the same little dorky ruler line
|
||
at the bottom of the screen that lights up with little arrows and stuff
|
||
when you press different buttons. Out in the car I have another
|
||
terminal just like this one, except that it's a 5271 terminal instead of
|
||
a 3278 terminal.
|
||
GODS, why did IBM make such a stupid keyboard arrangement? This is
|
||
an incredibly nice terminal that has been rendered effectively useless
|
||
to me because of the layout it uses. AAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Have you seen Rock 'n' Rule? The Demon sequence was animated by the

incredible effects that can trick you into thinking you're looking at

a photographed scene (uhm... well, I mean by using video camera effects

Some of the photographic-type effects can be found in Don Bluth films

not in the body of the film. You know, the infinate depth of field

I used to go Hobie Catting frequently and sailing on a 25 footer less

frequently. Notice the past tense. Sailing is boring. B O R I N G .

If I wanted R&R that was about as exciting as watching grass grow, I'd

You know you're in love when you walk down a hallway and step into an

elevator that isn't there, and plummet down the shaft to land in an

Jesus Christ instead of a cuncussion (which would probably be a more

logical guess) and immediately tries to hand you all his money like

the nice preacher on TV told him to do, and in his haste dislodges the

small grenade in his pocket, which falls to the floor and rolls away to

||
find somewhere greener to be, and comes to rest on the dog, which it

promptly blows up, and you respond "Yes, I believe I will have a danish

with that today" and wander out of the shaft in a blissed-out haze,

totally unaware that your pants are still hanging from the edge of the

O.K. This is for Turtle too. Raven and Chip purchased the mainframe.
|
||
We stuck it in the back of my van to bring to your house, you wern't
|
||
home so we took it to Ham center where they had me drive on the
|
||
sidewalk about 1/2 mile, then backup for some reason. They bought
|
||
it because it has an Operating system with it. Other than that, all I
|
||
know is it is named Athena Axelbreaker.
|
||
Athena for the original name for HAL from 2001.
|
||
Axelbreaker because it is heavy.
|
||
|
||
Come on down to Rufus' we move it. Mainframes to moose, we move it all.

Kind of. I'm quickly finding my love of mainframes over my love

Not even close. If you're looking for the most imaginitive, most
|

unusual, and generally all-around most amazing retelling of the

King Author legend, check out "Mage"--a series of graphic novels by

Certainly not the beer. Beer is one of the most disgusting substances
|
||
you can possibly put in your mouth. It has all the appeal of rotting
|
||
grain, with none of the delicate flavor. Beer is an amazingly noxious
|
||
liquid that really should recevie a hazardous waste code...if it doesn't

have one already.

Well, gang, an update on the mysterious DEC mainframe in Hamilton
|
||
Center: It ain't there anymore. That's 'cause it's in my utility room,
|
||
sitting right next to another, similar machine who will be its friend.
|
||
The new puppy works okey-dokey, boots up and everything, 'cept Yours
|
||
Truly doesn't have anything like...oh, documentation or manuals or
|
||
anything for it, so the reptile's playing blind. He's used RT-11
|
||
exactly once in his life, you see, and, well, TECO ain't exactly
|
||
intuitive, if you catch my drift. Still, it's a fun toy to play
|
||
with...think I'll use it to store recipies. All of them. And maybe
|
||
write letters.
