22 If you're still around, how about starting a story line. The Inn is
|
|
23 very boring. Perhaps we can liven things up.

29 The Poet sighed as he sipped his ale. Long ago the Inn had been a fascinating place to spend an evening. Granted,
|
|
30 things got a bit violent at times, but it had been interesting nevertheless.
|
|
31 Now most of the crowd who remained at the Inn seemed to be content to let their beards hang in their mugs, while
|
|
32 adolescents and rodents dominated the scene. Where, he thought, have Pam, d, and the others of beautiful voice
|
|
33 gone? Only his friend Piper seemed interested in the song of life anymore. Even McKane or Gaius would be welcome,
|
|
34 he thought, and reflected for a while on how low he'd sunk to be thinking such things. Ah well. As he sipped and
|
|
35 thought, a flicker passed into his clouded mind. Perhaps a discussion of the unknowable will get the juices flowng
|
|
36 again.
|
|
37 "Has anyone reflected," he commented, "that all the many realities are nothing more than eddies, momentary and
|
|
38 meaningless fluctuations in that vast and timeless sea which is Chaos?"
|
|
39 There. That was bound to offend SOMEONE. Maybe a discussion can come out of it, if nothing else. He noticed his
|
|
40 ale was gone, doing its bit in the headlong universal tumble to entropy, and signaled the Innkeeper for another...

|
|
43 The piper sat quietly drinking the ale that the apprentice had bought him.
|
|
44 "Apprentice -- the spelling is Simmental, I believe. They are a recent breed
|
|
45 brought in as a "dual purpose" animal. They were to be both a meat and milk
|
|
46 breed... I don't know of anyone who has successfully milked one, however.
|
|
47 Lassie, the calf's mother, is a Jersey-Guernsey cross and gives very rich milk.
|
|
48 The skimmed milk we drink tastes just about twice as rich as the 3.8% "rich
|
|
49 milk" sold in stores. (This after we have taken nearly a quart of cream off
|
|
50 the top of a gallon!) She still has her horns, also. We purchased her from
|
|
51 a dairy that had a Holstien milking herd, but kept a few Jerseys, Gurnseys, and
|
|
52 crosses for their own and friends milk supply. She is a small cow (still a
|
|
53 very large animal) with a mild and pleasing disposition. Excuse the spelling
|
|
54 errors, please. I just did the terrible deed to Sweetie's horn buds and have
|
|
55 her penned away from her mother. Her mother has been objecting vocally all
|
|
56 night long! Sweetie is growing quickly and soon will pass the "sweet little
|
|
57 calf" stage. Her lessons are progressing nicely -- I haven't had to use the
|
|
58 tractor yet, but in a month or two I may need to....
|
|
59 The piper took a long drink of ale and looked about the common room of the
|
|
60 Inn. The room seemed cluttered somehow. The patrons had been trying to keep
|
|
61 the place clean and picked up, but it seemed to lack a certain polish. The
|
|
62 huge central fireplace had more ashes in it than was really necessary, stains
|
|
63 on the stonework showed where overfed fires had sped smoke into the room. The
|
|
64 wooden steps leading up to the front door squeaked when you trod on them, and
|
|
65 the dishes placed near the entrances to the small fuzzy animals' domicile
|
|
66 really needed washing. He turned back to the apprentice and sighed, "Milchar
|
|
67 was trying to get someone to travel with him to the Ruby Valley, but seemed to
|
|
68 get no takers. I cannot go until my domestic duties are taken care of. You
|
|
69 might check and see if he has left yet, and if he is how he is getting on."

77 The door of the Inn swung loosly on its hings. The floor
|
|
78 inside was littered with leaves and dirt. A vagrent breeze
|
|
79 chased small dust swirls about the room. A dark pensive figure
|
|
80 peers tenativly around the oak frame, then quickly was gone
|
|
81 again. A small scurring sound soon followed. A ragged curtain
|
|
82 drawn across a doorway in the rear rippled slightly in the breeze
|
|
83 and was still.
|
|
84 A deathly silence filled the Inn, a stagnent mustyness of
|
|
85 long disuse prevaded difted in the air. What had become of this
|
|
86 once active hostle? What great disaster has caused its people to
|
|
87 abandon it?
|
|
88 The glasses and utensiles lay scattered amongst the dust on
|
|
89 the tables. The bar was streaked with long dried liquids.
|
|
90 Cobwebs could be found in every convenient corner and crevace.
|
|
91 Where is the Innkeeper to maintain his abode? And where is
|
|
92 the barmaid to clean the tables? What great Ill has happened
|
|
93 here? Where have the people gone?
|
|
94 A dark shadow seems to settle over the Inn, as a lone
|
|
95 wispered sob from long ago echoed from the walls. ....Emer?.....
|
|
96 The door swung idly from its rusted hings, and the wind
|
|
97 slapped a loose shutter against the wall.
|
|
98 I wonder if I will ever see my dear friend again.

|

141 You've been looking for Emer for most of this year without any sign. perhaps it's time to find another.

142 Believe me, I know what you're feeling... but there's a time in life for attachments to fade into fond memories,

143 and this may be it. Perhaps a bit of adventure to take your mind off of it... I hear that Milchar is getting up a

144 party. As for myself, I'll keep looking for a cold-cure at the bottom of my ale-mug, and get out of the Innkeeper's

|
|
162 Inspired by Tarn...
|
|
163 Milchar was depressed. No one seemed to be interested in the journey, and he hated to travel alone. Company makes any
|
|
164 journey lighter, and Milchar feared the ever-darkening roads would need the good cheer...
|
|
165 "I HAVE HAD IT!!!", yelled Milchar, in a sudden eruption of emotion. Hurriedly, he rummaged around in his robes for his
|
|
166 box of 3 x 5 cards. Finding it, he quickly shuffled through them as if he were afraid he might change his mind... a
|
|
167 strange warmly-colored yellow card popped into view, and Milchar read from it... "Have a Nice Day!"
|
|
168 With those words, the warm glow from the card expanded, grew to encase the whole room in good cheer. Dust disappeared.
|
|
169 The walls were spic and span again. A fire began to burn in the hearth. And Milchar began to tell a story. It went
|
|
170 something like this:
|
|
171 A long time ago, a group of people were engaged in their favorite activity. But they became jaded, too used to
|
|
172 extraordinary efforts and felt that fair efforts were a little below par. They met an old man, however, who was
|
|
173 never bored, never jaded. They asked him his secret, and he told them, "I just pay attention, look about, and
|
|
174 LOOK, LISTEN, and THINK. Everything is new and wonderful to me because I look at it in a fresh way. I believe that
|
|
175 everything is wonderful because it is UNIQUE. And unpredictable. All you need", he added, "is just a different
|
|
176 viewpoint." And with that, the old man left. The people learned from him and were never bored again, as they had
|
|
177 learned to value each other more.
|
|
178 Sighing deeply, and gazing with sleepy approval at the now spotless common, Milchar said weakly, "Now won't anyone
|
|
179 help me try to improve matters?"
|
|
180 With that, Milchar slept.
|
|

|
|
184 ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
|
|
185 The piper looked approvingly at the improvements that Milchar's spell wrought
|
|
186 in the ambience of the Inn.
|
|
187 "Yes, Milchar," he said, "our world is what we percieve it to be. If we
|
|
188 percieve it as stagnant and boring, it is, indeed, stagnant and boring. It was
|
|
189 a greek philosopher, I believe, who said that 'you never step in the same river
|
|
190 twice' -- meaning that each act you perform is unique in it's time-space
|
|
191 location." He looked about the room, peering into the corners and crevices
|
|
192 looking for the vast herds of lurkers that usually wandered through.
|
|
193 "Come! Let's shake off this lethargy. I have someone else to tend the cattle,
|
|
194 defend the home front, and keep the home fires burning. I am for adventure!"
|
|
195 The piper looked at his companions around the table, obviously underwhelmed by
|
|
196 his sudden change of mood. He nudged Milchar awake and said, "Come now! You've
|
|
197 cleaned the cobwebs out of my mind as well as the corners of the common room.
|
|
198 I, for one, am ripe for a journey. Perhaps the bard would come in search of a
|
|
199 new song, and the apprentice in search of new knowlege!"
|
|
200 "By the way, apprentice. True cream does not pour -- you have to spoon it
|
|
201 into a cup!" The piper smiled and took another drink of his coffee.
|
|
202 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

203 =============================================================
|
|
204 I've watched this system and noticed a trend. Several long-
|
|
205 time users are reminicing the 'good-old days when'. This
|
|
206 behavior is very similar to the abated mentality found in
|
|
207 nursing home. This board is a tool for the future, a place
|
|
208 to develop and explore new ideas. If the past doesn't continue
|
|
209 to the present, accept it as ended but not forgotten. The
|
|
210 past is a thing of memories and serve well the aged mind. Our
|
|
211 youthful minds are a treasure.

225 The golden glow had faded. What was that, anyway? Somebody named Milchar.
|
|
226 Let's see, Milchar, Milchar. Oh ! MILCHAR The adventurer. I think I too am
|
|
227 ready for adventure. "Ho! Milchar! Could you use a stalwart mind and somewhat

262 Is there a corollary between the near-paranoia of anonimity on the BackWater

263 and the adopted names of the Rajneeshees?

265 red-shirted 'followers', to which I replied, "It is one thing to play 'house'

266 as a child, but quite another to tauntingly play 'government', using

267 toys commandeered from others, while hiding behind the skirts of Mother

|
|
281 Mummmmmmm, he breathed out in a long sigh of pleasure, drinking in the
|
|
282 glory and beauty of this most exquisite of days. Sunshine, salty breezes,
|
|
283 and an infinite horizon all around, seemed to the give the mind room to
|
|
284 expand. His friend, the lady 'Southwind', danced across the waves, carried
|
|
285 before the trade winds by a billowing cloud of canvas. Picking up her skirts
|
|
286 to rush down the face of a wave, climbing to the peak of the next one with a
|
|
287 gentle swoosh, then repeating in a smooth flowing cycle guaranteed to induce
|
|
288 ecstasy. The feel of a fully found schooner running "full 'n by" is truly
|
|
289 beyond mere words.
|
|
290
|
|
291 Slowly he tilted his head back, letting his eyes follow the sweeping
|
|
292 curve of the sails, as they stretched upward to the better part of infinity.
|
|
293 Simultaneously his mind reached out embracing both remembered past and
|
|
294 imagined future. Ah! yes, what was it the dolphins had said that full moon
|
|
295 night, about twelve days south-west of the Azores?
|
|
296
|
|
297 Into that which you name the 'PAST' you place those
|
|
298 things that you perceive as experience and destiny.
|
|
299 Into that which you name the 'FUTURE' you place
|
|
300 all those things that you perceive as freedom.
|
|
301 Where are you standing when you see all of this?
|
|
302
|
|
303 Why of course, he like every other human being was the link between past
|
|
304 and future. Or maybe it was more like a window. If so a little timely glass
|
|
305 cleaning now and then couldn't hurt a thing. Certainly that was one of the
|
|
306 reasons he had set out on this long, single-handed passage. What had he
|
|
307 learned from this beauty and solitude? One thing for sure, no matter how
|
|
308 beautiful a scene, it was always richer when shared with friends.
|
|
309
|
|
310 Suddenly his memory shifted to good times with friends at the Backwater
|
|
311 Inn. How many of them, he wondered, were there now, laughing, telling

319 This episode takes place before Milchar and his 'group' take off for the Ruby
|
|
320 Valley.
|
|
321 Milchar is gathering new 'recruits' for an adventure. Off in the corner
|
|
322 of the Inn, a faint whirring is barely audible. A British Police Box then
|
|
323 appears out of nowhere. These people are not surprised, though. They know
|
|
324 that this thing belongs to the legendary Doctor. The doors open and a green
|
|
325 costume man is thrust out. The Doctor then emerges. 'Milchar, old friend,
|
|
326 I heard that you were looking for someone to afccompany you on a journey to the
|
|
327 Ruby Valley. I am afraid to say that I am unavailable at the 'time', but
|
|
328 take this pest with you, please!! I would be in your debt for a long time.
|
|
329 His name is, get this, A. Bug...' Milchar looks at his old friend and says
|
|
330 nothing. The Doctor then leaps into the Tardis.(NA mean trick for a guy 750
|
|
331 years old...) The Tardis vanishes from sight. Under his breath Milchar
|
|
332 replies 'I'll get you for this...Why me?!?!?!?'

|
|
363 With new events occuring everyday, it seem such a waste of time
|
|
364 to rekindle such a dull and directionless story line. However,
|
|
365 a number of 'old-timers' will persist. Take time to scan through
|
|
366 these stories because I've caught glimpses of true insight and
|
|
367 humor. Some users have much to offer and I'am excited to read
|
|
368 their ideas.
|
|
369 I've got a theory concening the people in RED. Most young people experience a period of self-awareness and struggle to find a
|
|
370 method to adjust (find themselves). Those unable to find answers continue to search for 'meaning'. If the search continues
|
|
371 and no answers are found, then someone with mystical or religious connections offers hope. To enhance the effect, religious or
|
|
372 mystical leaders create a group of followers which come to act
|
|
373 as peer group. The 60's produced a similar group of people that
|
|
374 clung to various "ism's". There is comfort when surrounded by
|
|
375 others with the same feeling, even if the shared emotion is
|
|
376 discontent or lack of direction. The people in RED have united
|
|
377 to garner strenth and support even though the individual is
|
|
378 weak and lost.
|
|
379 Have pity for the individual, but be wary of the group. Within
|
|
380 the group are people with goals and ambitions. They can mold
|
|
381 the thinking and actions with powerful psychology.
|
|
382 The interaction of religion and politics allows for broad
|
|
383 interpetation. The law and our judical system are unaffective
|
|
384 or afraid to challenge the rmotives and methods of religion.
|
|
385 So for now, we watch and wait hoping for a LARGE blunder.

388 Perhaps, I am not overly believing in what the Rash's say, as
|
|
389 all to often it consists of double talk and manipulated truth.
|
|
390 Too many odd and unusual occuances. Odd that so close to election
|
|
391 Too many odd and unusual occuances. Odd that they would be so quick to
|
|
392 sue for defamation. Odd that so close to election time
|
|
393 that they would suddenly decide to be kind to the street people.
|
|
394 Odd that they are happy to bus them in for free, but not help them
|
|
395 if they want out. If they were truly interested in the welfair
|
|
396 of these people would they not help them survive anyway? Even
|
|
397 the Christian services do that much. (And in fact it looks like
|
|
398 the Christian services are having to take the recovery load
|
|
399 anyway. I am NOT impressed.) And of course one wonders if they
|
|
400 'really' are a peacful lot, why do they need semi-automatic
|
|
401 rifles for their police force? Even the Portland police force
|
|
402 manages to get by with out making an agressive showing of such
|
|
403 weapons. On the flip side of the coin, all new religions go thru
|
|
404 a period of intense public disapproval as they startup. The Mormons
|
|
405 got kicked out of their home state for practicing aspects of life
|
|
406 that their nieghbors found unacceptable. Jesus got nailed for
|
|
407 promoting a way of life that others found objectionable. In time
|
|
408 the religions abate their extreem positions on life and intigrate
|
|
409 their ideas and structure in a form that the general populance can
|
|
410 accept. If they don't, they don't survive. Of course some of them
|
|
411 take care of the problem themselves by self-removal. Remember
|
|
412 Jamestown in Africa?
|
|
413 To quote Socraties (sp?) "Me thinks thou protests too much".
|
|
414 At least that's my view of them.

428 The piper looked about the room, noticing more and more people coming
|
|
429 awake and deciding to join in the adventure. Smiling, he turned to Milchar,
|
|
430 "Well, you have started something now!" Lifting his glass, he drained the
|
|
431 dregs of his drink, then began playing "The Black Bear Hornpipe" -- the quick
|
|
432 strains seemed to jump and infuse the room with excitement.
|
|
433 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
|
|
434 Mikey -- If I were a rajneeshy, and were able to read, I'd damn well have
|
|
435 a LOT of automatic rifles and a hell of a lot of other armament as well.
|
|
436 Somehow I think most of them CAN read...
|
|
437 A fundamental problem is that Americans (and most of them are, indeed,
|
|
438 americans) can go anywhere in this country, settle anywhere they want, and
|
|
439 purchase homes without the seller being allowed to discriminate because of
|
|
440 color, RELIGION, or national origin. Let's look at the whole thing from a
|
|
441 different perspective -- If Jesse Jackson were to take the money it took him
|
|
442 to run a political campaign and bought a ranch in eastern Oregon and a bunch
|
|
443 of Rolls-Royces -- see what I mean?
|
|
444 If anyone refused to serve them in a cafe, refused to rent them a hotel room,
|
|
445 refused to sell them a home... The rajneeshys are ready to sue at the drop
|
|
446 of a hat. Somehow they haven't caught onto that one yet -- or have they?
|
|
447 Ask any of the southern states about the power of the Feds when it comes to
|
|
448 any of the civil rights that we approved when they were voted in. When someone
|
|
449 puts on red clothes, they don't take off those civil rights. If there are
|
|
450 more of them than you, you get outvoted even if you are "right". I don't
|
|
451 wholeheartedly approve of the group, but I think a lot of people are setting
|
|
452 up themselves and the state and county governments for a real fall. Remember -
|
|
453 if you have the right to tell a rajneeshy he has to get out of the state, the
|
|
454 bible thumping christians have the right to run out all of you sinning
|
|
455 non-tithing heretics and idolators also!

458 In other words, this is America where you are free to do what you want
|
|
459 within the limits of the law. The only way to defeat these people is
|
|
460 unfortunately in the courts -- any other way (i.e. using violence)
|
|
461 reduces us to savages. There is a kind of catch-22 in our system as
|
|
462 it is currently portrayed, because each time the Baggie goes to court,
|
|
463 we the taxpayer pay for it. When it comes out of your pocketbook,
|
|
464 that is when it hurts.

|
|
469 Most certainly, I agree. Of course, the weapons point was more of a
|
|
470 snide remark, since as I say if they really are a peacful lot they
|
|
471 wouldn't need them. There is more then just non-violence to being
|
|
472 peacful. This includes respecting others rights and property. This
|
|
473 goes beyond just the strict physical aspect drawn up by our laws. There
|
|
474 are moral aspects to consider as well. Why did they decide to take
|
|
475 over a town? They could have just as well started a new town on theeir
|
|
476 own and everyone would have been happy (at least maybe not as upset)
|
|
477 It is their agressive and abrasive atittitude that bothers everyone.
|
|
478 When was the last time you saw a Quaker carrying a semi-automatic
|
|
479 rifle? Yet in many respects they have some very strict ideas about
|
|
480 life, and tend to build comunitees around themselves. One big difference
|
|
481 is that they don't directly mix religion with politics, but that's
|
|
482 a whole nother argument best left for some other time.

501 Yea...and let sleeping bawgs lie. All puns intended. If the threat to the fine
|
|
502 citizens of central Oregon were not so great, the whole episode would make a

503 great TV sitcom. Just sit back in your chair and imagine a group of people
|

504 who have in the space of a couple of years have taken over town, increased its
|
|
505 population almost 60 times, placed a larger tax burden on an entire state,
|
|
506 been on 60 minutes, been faced by Ed Bradley, put Rolls-Royce single handedly
|
|
507 in the black, and done the same for companies who make red dyes. Imagine a
|
|
508 group of people who have the largest per capita political cartoon ratio ever
|
|
509 known, who's highly trained lawyers have red three piece suits, and have a
|
|
510 spokeperson named Ma Prem Sunshine. Imagine dear reader, the second in

|
511 command, Shiela. Has ever a more foul mouthed diabolical image of a woman
|
|
512 ever existed? She is the only person on this good earth to ever rile Ted
|
|
513 Koppel. Only she could say "We'll paint Oregon red if we have too." Dear
|
|
514 dear Shiela. You are the anthesis of a female Ghandi. Imagine a guru type
|
|
515 who wears stocking caps, makes vows of silence on certain subjects, and calls
|
|
516 the lawyer who is questioning him "Stupid!". It all seems to unbelievable. It
|
|
517 reads like a story from Kafka or Borges. The unthinkable becomes thinkable.
|
|
518 The unbelievable becomes believable. And the impossible happens. What's a
|
|
519 self respecting rancher in his 4-wheel drive and 30-06 supposed to do? The
|
|
520 next thing will be The Bawg on the cover of Time, or worse yet...People. OR...
|
|
521 how about Liz Taylor and Bawgwan eloping the Mexico? What a story for the

|
522 National Enquirer! The Midnight Star can't be far behind. I am waiting for

|

528 It would have come to a head a lot sooner, and I'm afraid that there would have been a lot of corpses to dispose of on

560 Awaking with a start, Milchar saw that his plea was being answered. Piper had brightened up considerably, and was

561 playing his pipes. Volunteers swarmed left and right... everything was going great until- The Doctor left A. Bug there.
|
|
562 At first he was quiet, but soon began a horrible string of puns. At first, they were only "horrible", but later grew to
|
|
563 "painful" status. Milchar knew this had to stop...
|
|
564 To keep his sanity, Milchar moved to a prominent part of the room and spoke.
|
|
565 "Please, listen up! The next time for entry will be in a few days, we haven't much time! The Nor-gate can be found at
|
|
566 this time in Griffin Pass, about two days ride from here. I doubt that magic could be used to travel there, so we must

|
|
569 Milchar stepped down, and almost in a whisper, said, "I thank you again Piper, I lack your elequence for this." Piper
|
|
570 only smiled. Milchar grinned, and asked the Innkeeper for refreshment for the two of them. "I'd like to try some of
