Here's a message for you...
|
||
This is a true story of something that happened to my sister in PA.
|
||
|
||
When Robin took her car in for servicing, the mechanic found a mouse's
|
||
nest made of dog kibble, dog hair,and bird seed in the air filter.
|
||
Here's the wierd part...
|
||
The only access to the air filter that the mouse had was through a hose!

with someone with strong hands, a caring spirit, a warm demeanor, and

The AK is really a lousy weapon, too heavy, not that accurate, and
|
||
you need a truck to carry any quantity of ammo. 'Twas designed by
|
||
socialist engineers for combat, which should adaquatly describe it
|
||
oops, it's suitability as a hunting weapon. Perhaps collectors have
|
||
a reason for buying an AK, but any real hunter knows you would get
|
||
more bang for your buck (a better weapon for less money) sticking
|
||
with a Marlin or similar rifle.

The AK-47 workalikes in this country (they aren't AK-47's, which *are*
|
||
full-auto weapons; they're generally Chinese clones or AK-47's that have
|
||
been modified for semi-auto-only) are not good hunting weapons. They are
|
||
too light caliber for hunting things like deer or elk, and they're not
|
||
as accurate as, say, a .30-06 or a similar rifle you'd more normally
|
||
think of as a hunting rifle. They are, on the other hand, very good for
|
||
assaulting people (fancy that--could be because that's what they're
|
||
designed for). They're faster than anyone needs a hunting rifle to be,
|
||
and the extended clip is a telling feature--you don't need 30-round
|
||
clips when you're hunting deer because if you miss with the first couple
|
||
of shots it's gonna be a while before you're in range again. I don't
|
||
really think the citizens of this country are going to find themselves
|
||
trapped in an opressive totalitarian regime just because they can't buy
|
||
assault rifles, arguments about "it's a HUNTING rifle, honest!"
|
||
notwithstanding.
|
||
|
||
Tell me...would an AK-47 be YOUR first choice if you were going after
|
||
a prize buck?

Drag racing is a TYPE of strip racing. Strip racing is just that--racing
|
||
on a strip, in a formal setting. Drag racing, ET racing, and the like
|
||
are all forms of strip racing. (Actually, there's about a dozen
|

differrent types, but I don't feel like getting into it...)

Well, it sure sems like it, although it also seems that it's a rather
|
||
unseemly thing to do--coming apart at the seams in public. Seems to me
|
||
you wanna pull yourself together. Perhaps if you really feel like you're

coming unhinged what you need to do is find the doorway to your inner
|

self--self-discovery is the key. Just stick with it and you'll stop

FCC PLANS MODEM SURCHARGE
|
||
|
||
Two years ago the FCC tried and (with your help and letters
|
||
of protest) failed to institute regulations that would impose
|
||
additional costs on modem users for data communications. NOW THEY
|
||
ARE AT IT AGAIN. A new regulation that the FCC is quielty working
|
||
on will directly affect you as the user of a computer and a modem
|
||
The FCC proposes that users of modems should pay extra charges for
|
||
use of the public telephone network. The money is to be collected
|
||
and given to the telephone company in an effort to raise funds
|
||
lost to deregulation!
|
||
|
||
HERES WHAT YOU SHOULD DO NOW!

Good luck finding Akira. I don't think the English version has been
|
||
released yet, and when it is it probably won't be at your local
|
||
Blockbuster. The Japanese version is available through some comics

stores and the like, but it's hardly mainstream material...

Last time I checked, you ate meat. Just curious: what's the

difference between butchering and hunting according to your morals?
|

Even if butchering weren't for "fun," most of the deer hunts I've

Thumper One and Max --

I disagree with you. I once lived out in the "wilds of Florida," in
|
||
a tiny town called Loxahatchee. There were at least three species of
|
||
poisonous snakes on my property.
|
||
At least ten poisonous snakes were shot on my property. Snakes bit
|
||
my dogs three times (at least); they were found in my pool and my
|
||
shower. They weren't killed for food or for fun; they were killed for
|
||
safety's sake.

Last week @ USF there was supposed to be a debate on censorship.
|
||
It turned out to be someone telling me that the reason that he
|
||
and other artists are censored is due to the color of their skin.

Maybe he doesn't realize Maplethorpe was a honky.

he asked ME! to do it, but here go's noding!)
|

Turtle: Get ye behind me you slanderous word posting dog!

D. Quaid: pleaz don' beat me massa' pleaz don' beat this tired ol' body!

Turtle: Due to your ignorance (sp. again) I will giveyou a second chance

to post on this board, but only if you give me your first born son.

D. Quaid: You got it!(grovel grovel)

Turtle: And You must pay for my mid-town Manhattan Parking!

D. Quaid: Keep the kids you #$@^%$@ pig! (this is fiction Turtle)
|

And as D. Quaid stood there quivering with rage over having to pay

for Turtle's parking, The mighty Thumper One lept into the fray and said
|
||
Let them eat Rutebegas!!!!!!! Har Har! Avast ye scurvy dogs!!!!!!!!!

Turtle and D. quaid then resolved their problem and proceeded to

I'd love to hear their reasoning about that idea: that artists are

censored because of the color of their skin. First of all, who (or

what) are trying to keep them from exhibiting their work? Secondly,
|

how do they know the color of the artist's skin at all? Third, how

1. What will be the focus of your BBS? Message bases? Files? Story-

2. What hours will you be keeping? 24-hour? Nights? Days?

A dragonfly buzzed merrily by as the Turtle and the Quaid (not quite

sure WHAT a Quaid exactly is, but assuming it has appendages suitable
|
||
for pummeling with) pummelled Thumper One.
|
||
Dragonfly: What are you doing?
|

Turtle: We are pummeling this Thumper One, for he has predicted the
|
||
End of Bank America.
|
||
Thumper One: Leave me here to be pummelled, O wise dragonfly! For I
|
||
am lost! But, O dragonfly, save my bass!
|
||
With this, the dragonfly looked and lo! There was a bass! Buzzed the
|
||
dragonfly to the bass swiftly, but lo! he could not move it. And all
|
||
marvelled at the Olde Englishe in which the dragonfly began writing.
|
||
Switching back to Modern English, the dragonfly said a quick "pardon
|
||
me," and tripled his size. Unhindered by the square-cube laws, he
|
||
quickly picked up the still-heavy bass and began flying away with it.

Yup, I had it copied off of cable, but must of recorded over it 'cause

it ain't in my listings no more. I get those moods late-late at night

"Christmas"..the time when I spend days and days errecting lights and
|
||
decorations just for that wealth of seeing a few kid's faces light
|
||
up when they see them. The time when I can point out tom my own
|
||
kids just how rediculous business can make a joyful time appear. Time
|
||
for me (us?) to examine our roots and discover the bonds between us
|
||
and our heritage and relatives that has been erroded away during a year
|
||
of doing battle against the system. A time to look at where I am and
|
||
decide if I want to change course or keep straight ahaead. A time to
|
||
sit back and be thankful (just thankful, not necessarily towards any
|
||
religious symbol), just thankful for my kids, my health and my whole
|
||
family. Sure, business has taken a religious holiday and made it a sales

event, but they haven't taken away the REAL things that come from the

holiday...and they have only the religious extent that each of us
|

individually give it.

Actually I've seen that result from both bad copies AND Copy Guards.

And Copy Guards are easy to break. It can be done in a coupla ways:
|

1. Digitize the signal.

2. Purchase a copy guard 'buster'

Results are usually satisfactory. Unless you're an audio/videophile who

The following software packages for MS-DOS are free or very cheap
|
||
ShareWare: Opus (free), RemoteAccess (shareware, I think the
|
||
registration fee is $35), QuickBBS (shareware), Wildcat (shareware,
|
||
but the "evaluation" version is better than the registered version,
|
||
and faster too), TP-Board. All except TP-Board and Wildcat are FIDO-
|
||
capable. OPus is one you ought to stay away from unless you like your
|
||
message base ALONE taking up 20-30 meg of storage space. QuickBBS is
|
||
very flexible, but very difficult to set up; if you aren't a programmer
|
||
you're likely to have a rough time getting it installed. RemoteAccess
|
||
is a good, reliable, easy-to-install system, bt one without a lot of
|
||
features. Wildcat sucks eggs.
|
||
|
||
Other systems you might look into: BBSX (I don't know if this one is
|
||
commercial or not; it doesn't do FIDO but it's fast and weird as hell,
|
||
which are two things in its favor), TBBS (one of the best packages

I wouldn't agree with that...the movie slammed the entire concept of

religion pretty hard. Plus a lot of people make n distinction between

the Church and Christianity. I'm rather surprised it didn't attract

Wrong on both counts. You need to spend more time on the CandyNet Debate
|
||
Echo. One of the reasons Cheryl Mathison used to use the handle "Dr.
|
||
Mabuse" is that when she posted under the name "Cheryl" people would
|
||
come out of the woodwork with derogatory remarks about the fairer sex,
|
||
or passes, or both. A /lot/ of females who BBS use either false names
|
||
or gender-neutral handles, and I've even talked to a couple of users
|
||
on this board (who I shan't name) who claim that BBSing under a
|
||
female name is an invitation to harrassment and unwanted attention by
|
||
sysops and users alike. Racism is more difficult, sure, but try calling
|
||
a bunch of boards with the name "Willis Alfonso" sometime and tell me
|
||
if you don't get any reaction at all based on your apparant race.
|
||
People can be just as prejudiced and just as ignorant over a phone line
|
||
as they can in person.

Yeah. Most new movies, no matter what title, are out if you just walk

When you finally see the movie (title not mentioned for those who are

watch Tim Curry, he's a pretty good actor. He's been that, "The Hunt For

Yeah that would be something. Probably be awhile before it becomes part
|
||
of most movie houses. I was pretty happy with dolby. Which if you
|
||
remember is a hell of a lot better that what used to be in movie houses
|
||
when we were younger. Remember? Some of the useres on this board were
|
||
born into the age of high quality sound. And to get off the subject a
|
||
little bit, I went to a Kodak semoinar the other day. It gave a demo of
|
||
silver halide photo transfer onto compact disc. Yes thats right,
|
||
compact disc. This system will bemarketed in 1992 for a mere 100,000.00
|
||
Targeted for the retail finisher, it allows a trained technician to
|
||
TOTALLY manipulate a photo. The info is read into a (Yuk) Apple
|
||
computer. Then the tec. can chang e every aspect of the photo.
|
||
Change eye color, duplicate subject matter, remove people or other
|
||
subjects, erase and then duplicate patterns to cover the area erased,
|
||
you can paint with any color from within a color library or from a color
|
||
on the photo. All this and a lot more. After completing the adjusted
|
||
image, you can resave it to disc or get a thermal print. If you want to
|
||
view the disc, it can be viewed on a TV or monitor via a CDplayer which
|
||
can plya these special discs or audio CD's. About 100 low resolution
|
||
images can fit on a disc or 30-40 high res. images. The lower quantity
|
||
is due to the great deal of added information. The projected price of a
|
||
disc will be around $20.00. About the same as your better photo labs.
|
||
What really fascinated me was about (get this) 30 meg could fit on one
|
||
side of one disc. (Same size as a standard audio CD). Pretty neat
|
||
stuff...huh!
