55 Hi all,
|
||
56 Tuck here. Well, all I see is gossip. No great creative stories, aww.
|
||
57 Anyway...
|
||
58 Film Critic: What about "The Wall"? I really think that has to be the
|
||
59 best movie I have seen. Lots of subjective meaning, very little meaningless
|
||
60 dialogand some good music. It really sinks into some real problems, ones
|
||
61 that other films wouldn't touch.
|
||
62 Does anybody out there read H.P. Lovecraft? Great horror stories.
|
||
63 A little more in detail and meaning than Deities & Demigods. Read some!

100 The Innkeeper was left sitting by the door to the Inn. He held
|
||
101 one of Pam's shoes in his hand. Apparently she had slipped away
|
||
102 at last, but left the Innkeeper holding her shoe. "Well" thought
|
||
103 the Innkeeper, "I guess she'll have to come back sometime to get
|
||
104 her shoe at least." <long pause> "I wonder why anyone would ever
|
||
105 want to actually drink champane out of one of these? You could
|
||
106 get athlete's tongue or something. Yuck! Besides, it tastes
|
||
107 lousy." Getting up and moving back behind the bar, the Innkeeper
|
||
108 stowed the shoe in a handy cubbyhole under the bar, and went
|
||
109 back to work serving customers and cleaning tables.

111 What's Good for the Goose...
|
||
112 part 2
|
||
113
|
||
114 "Right out of an 'I Dream of Genie' rerun", I said to myself, still
|
||
115 naturally a bit stunned by the sequence of events that had befallen me.
|
||
116 "Who dare disturb my three thousand year sleep?!?", demanded a voice,
|
||
117 that seemed, incredibly enough, to come from inside of my own head.
|
||
118 "Geeze", I thought, "What was in those mushrooms I had for lunch?"
|
||
119 "Foolish mortal. Never can you accept things the way they are. Always
|
||
120 you question your own existence, as well as the existence of everything else.
|
||
121 Never can you take for granted what your senses tell you!", the voice seemed
|
||
122 to scream, racking my head with its anger.
|
||
123 "Don't tell me...You...You're the genie from the bottle!", I almost
|
||
124 laughed at myself for being so foolish. But I must admit, it was the best
|
||
125 description for the situation I could think of at the time.
|
||
126 "Ahhh...You taunt me mortal! Next you will ask for me to grant you
|
||
127 three wishes, in payment for releasing me."
|
||
128 "Well...I must admit...everything else seems to be falling in place.
|
||
129 A mysterious bottle, half buried in sand, I give it a rub and open its top,
|
||
130 you appear, floating about like something out of a B-grade Arabian adventure
|
||
131 flick. What am I supposed to think?"
|
||
132 "Perhaps you have taken these 'flicks' as you call them to heart, but
|
||
133 not I. You have disturbed my peaceful sleep. I did not ask you to break into
|
||
134 my home, and commit sacrilege against my domain, and for that, it is I who
|
||
135 will demand the three wishes!"
|
||
136 This last line confused me. I wasn't sure if this still wasn't just
|
||
137 some drug induced hallucination. But heck, I might as well play along. What
|
||
138 can happen anyway, if it's only my mind playing tricks with me?
|
||
139 "OK 'genie'. What would you like me to do? What is your first wish, oh
|
||
140 master?" I couldn't hide the smirk on my face, and my tone betrayed my
|
||
141 amusement with this little reversal of roles.
|
||
142 "First, you will cease smiling like some ignorant fool! I hate nothing
|
||
143 worse than an insolent and disrespectful slave!"
|
||
144 "As you command, oh 'genie'", I said, wiping the smile from my face,
|
||
145 and to myself, "Slave eh?" Again out loud, "How can you understand what I
|
||
146 am saying, yet speak directly to my mind?"
|
||
147 "Enough questions!!!", the genie roared. "Suffice it to say I can
|
||
148 not only place my thoughts in your puny mind, but I can see what your thoughts
|
||
149 are too. My second command will be a bit more difficult for your feeble
|
||
150 self to handle. You are to take this cloth," and with a small puff of smoke,
|
||
151 a piece of silk, finer than any I had ever seen, appeared next to me, "and
|
||
152 clean the bottle. Clean it from top to bottom. Clean it with a vigor. Clean
|
||
153 it like your life depended on it, because mortal fool, it does!"
|
||
154 The threat rang in my ears, and my head spun with disbelief, but
|
||
155 I obeyed my new 'master'. I got up from the sand, and slowly, very slowly,
|
||
156 reached for the bottle, careful not to touch the wisp of smoke that originated
|
||
157 within. I rubbed and rubbed. It took several minutes, but when I was
|
||
158 finished, the bottle glistened with a sheen of unbelievable luster.
|
||
159 "That will be passable. And now for my final wish. You will return
|
||
160 my bottle to the sea. The tide here is going out. You will throw the bottle
|
||
161 with all your strength. I want never to return to these forsaken shores.
|
||
162 Quickly now. Hold out your hand."
|
||
163 I obliged, and for a second time, a puff of smoke revealed something
|
||
164 new. This time, a cork stopper. Certainly not the original stopper I
|
||
165 removed; too clean; not worn around its circumference. What next?

||

168 MIlch: I assume you don't need a ride at all then? I will have all of your magazines.

169 Leonard: If I don't need to give Milch a ride, than I *guess* I can give you a ride. What exactly are we talking
|
||
170 about not fitting on the bus? Bring along your Delphi download. I haven't xferred the archive stuff yet since the

202 The Wall, an interesting movie, considering its source. Who on earth do you
|
||
203 thing directed the film? An English director of course. While I would certainly
|
||
204 not go around touting The Wall as the best movie ever made, I would go for one
|
||
205 of the MOST interesting movies ever made, conceived from a Rock and Roll Album.
|
||
206 My point about movies made in the USA, is that for the most part, the human
|
||
207 element has been discarded for the excitement of hardware. Audiences crave
|
||
208 excitement, violence, blood and guts; not relationships, sacrafice, emotion,
|
||
209 and convern. Why is 'The Exterminator' the most popular movie in America
|
||
210 right now? For the simple reason that American movie goers want this kind of
|
||
211 action packed, forget reality, I wanna see some blood movie. If movies are the
|
||
212 great escape, what are we escaping too? What kind of morals are we teaching
|
||
213 the young, if all they can see is trash like that? There is a time and place
|
||
214 for everything, but moderation should be the overriding factor. Perhaps we
|
||
215 didn't learn from the Romans after all...

227 L'homme and all; Just got back from work, it is now 11:46, the bus I should have taken from Estacada left about 24
|
||
228 minutes ago. I shall catch the 1:46 bus and be there by 3. Sorry, but I'll be at the PC&S. Further note: My SAT
|
||
229 scores are in.... 660 verbal, 700 math.

230 +++++++++++++
|
||
231 We appeared to be quite near the citidel now. It was a glistening tower of some odd material the like of which I had
|
||
232 never seen. The cystal forest about us thinned as we approached it. My ears were still ringing with the noise of
|
||
233 those horrid azure creatures, though they were far behind us. Strange, I thought I saw the large Demon over there
|
||
234 also... he seems to be gone now. Exceedingly odd. "Whooosh, Whooosh." All right, now what was it? That certainly
|
||
235 was a strange sound to be coming from a citidel. #All right if we rest outside for a bit?# Assent from everyone.
|
||
236 They had run around for quite some time. I felt we deserved a rest.
|
||
237 +++++++++++++++++++

238 ??????????????????? (double entry again)
|
||
239 The Doctor found himself face down on the floor after a rather bumpy landing. "Master. Outside sensors indicate a
|
||
240 large energy source bearing 317.4 degrees, distance 4 meters." K-9 was still working, as usual.
|
||
241 "Right, K-9. Er.. what is it?", the Doctor asked while searching his scarf for his Sonic screwdriver.
|
||
242 "A large structure of about 200 meters, Master. It appears to be the source of the energy field that brought us here."
|
||
243 "Ah, good. At least it wasn't Milchar. I'll still get those 3x5 cards, though. Tell me, where are we?"
|
||
244 "Co-ordinates undefined. Position sensors inoperable."
|
||
245 "Good, wouldn't want to go into an adventure knowing where we are, would we? That'd spoil all the fun." Despite the
|
||
246 Doctor's words, he was worried. "Let's have a look around, shall we?"
|
||
247 Outdoors, the air was fresh and alive. The surrounding territory was rather bleak, a forest of crystalline structures
|
||
248 about 5-10 meters tall. The only really interesting feature of the entire landscape was the tremendously large tower
|
||
249 to his left. It streched up, on and on, with no apparent opening in its surface. "Oh, lovely. Sucked here by that
|
||
250 thing and no way to get in. That's just fine and dandy. Hello. What's that?"
|
||
251 Abruptly, off to his left again, some figures emerged from the tangle of crystal behind them. Some of the faces looked
|
||
252 familiar somehow to him. He waited, and was rewarded by recogition of the group. Piper, Leonard, an elderly woman,
|
||
253 Bard, Poet, L'homme, and... Milchar. "Aha, I knew he was in on this somehow."

307 To person above complaining about deleted messages:
|
||
308 Please read the opening message on the disk. Particularly note
|
||
309 the "I retain the right to delete messages I may find offensive."
|
||
310 Also note that it states right out that this is a private
|
||
311 system. I pay for the phone line and the electricity, I also
|
||
312 provide the equipment it runs on. As such, I have the right to
|
||
313 control the system. I am very open about most things, but I
|
||
314 am not in regard to messages intended to hurt other people,
|
||
315 those intent on vandlism, or that some may find offensive.
|
||
316 My views may seem to be a bit puritanical, but I have to draw
|
||
317 a line someplace, and look what happened when it was left there
|
||
318 for awhile, far more offensive messages were left. This is why
|
||
319 I run a strict system in that regard.

330 So, you didn't like the words for that age old song. I was just trying
|

331 to inform the public of a unanswered question. It may be offencive but
|
||
332 at least it was a little cute, just a little.
|
||
333
|
||
334 I don't think that the sysop is the only one that is deleting messages.
|
||
335 There is probably another user that may find everything offencive so he
|
||
336 takes it to himself to be the sole evenger of the "good faith" and delete
|
||
337 the messages before the children see them. Let the sysop judge what is
|
||
338 good for the board or bad for it, it is his system so he makes the rules.
|

339 He's the top dog, head honcho, The big cheese! haven't I heard that about

353 Hi all,
|

354 Tuck here. The senses are absolute. If you perceive a red apple on
|
||
355 a tree, then there is a red apple on the tree. For, if we could not trust
|
||
356 out preceptions, then where would we be. We could trust nothing, nothing
|
||
357 could be proven or disproven. We base our judgements on preceptions,
|
||
358 they need to be accurate. (The only real questions is wether or not we
|
||
359 really preceive the apple on the tree.)
|
||
360 Goodbye, whoever. I'm sorry to see anyone go. We can all contibute
|
||
361 something.

||
362 Uncle ^SKIP: Ease off on Wren. "Forgive your enimies, it'll

364 Milchar (or any of the "regulars"): What is PorSFic? Give us
|
||
365 some information. I'd like to come.
|
||
366 Unbeliever & Apprentice: I think the best story is "The Statement of
|
||
367 Randolph Carter." "Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath" is good if you can
|
||
368 get through it.

369 Deleted person: Remember, Cisop Mikey is a dictator, and dictators

370 can do what ever they want. If you want to be in control, get your own

|

388 Kathy: what you missed was an extremely unmotivated group of people.
|
||
389 If you had made it, you would either has inspired us, or ended up as
|
||
390 dull as us. It's probably just as well you missed it (else we'd probably
|
||
391 not see you again, like so many others who show up once).
|
||
392 L'homme: I finally got around to converting my archives from single-sided
|
||
393 to double sided. That left me with 22 disks still in use, with 26 freed up.
|
||
394 I was originally going to do all the processing while doing the xfer,
|
||
395 but I decided that at the rate it was going, I might as well do 'em as I
|
||
396 got in the mood. By the way - when can I expect those two disks to be ready?
|
||
397 I'm kinda anxious to take a look at them. (maybe you can drop them off at
|
||
398 the Fish & Wildlife and they can be brought home from there... or on second
|
||
399 thought, that may not be such a good idea).
|
||
400 Leonard: while putting the archive files on double sided, I also organized
|
||
401 them. You were right - they were really a mess. The first year especially -
|
||
402 I think that was when L'homme was having his original problems with the xfer,
|
||
403 until he got the system streamlined.
|
||
404 I found a note on one of my disks - it listed Dec0582, Dec2282, and that infamous
|
||
405 May2083. Are those files that were not available in the first group, but are
|
||
406 now ready? (along with all the subsequent disks?) If so, I didn't leave room
|
||
407 for them. Of course.

411 Siskel and Ebert return (sp?) a.k.a. 'a film fan' and Sondargaard
|
||
412 Fan: Being in the movie business, I'd like to clarify a few points for you.
|
||
413 1) Odd as it may seem, Principal Shooting for 'The WALL' had begun before
|
||
414 the album was even released- although I don't know why a couple of the
|
||
415 songs were deleted from the album's first pressing....
|
||
416 The album paved the way for the coming film. (hush-hush)
|
||
417 2) As someone else so ungraciously put it: The movie you were thinking
|
||
418 about was 'The Terminator' starring Arnold S., and not 'EXTerminator'
|
||
419 starring- who cares; by the way, it's on the Top Ten Grossing Films
|
||
420 (money-making, not grossing-out with a spoon) list for the week,
|
||
421 not the number one film though.
|
||
422 I feel that you are a bit more sophisticated in the way you state your
|
||
423 opinions, and that I manage, but are we arguing for arguments sake, or
|
||
424 are we as close as we can get to BBS version of those two from Chicago?
|
||
425 Until we type again... <beep,beep>

430 Ontho started buzzing frantically "dezzzaatzz, tezzztazzde, (ect)" Leo
|
||
431 looked up from her resting postion to see what the action was all about.
|
||
432 A large flash of light could be seen down on the surface. "oh goody gumdrops"
|
||
433 "some action at last!!!" Leo leaped to her feet and was down on her butt
|
||
434 just as fast .. ( forgetting about the ice ). Over comming her akwardness
|
||
435 she got up again. Ontho chuckled. She spotted the getaway vehicle first
|
||
436 and pointed it out to Ontho, who matched the vehicles course and speed.
|
||
437 The vehicle was traveling fast down on the tundra and the navigator
|
||
438 seemed to know the route well, they lost sight of the vehicle more than
|
||
439 once as it veered around cornices and pits. And then it went straight
|
||
440 up 50 yards and then straight down into the earth. They flew over where
|
||
441 the vehicle vanished and saw a large opening. "In we go!!" Leo shouted to
|
||
442 Ontho who had already taken that intiative. Leo held the trident high and
|
||
443 it started to glow.
|
||
444 The plunged into the abbess and the howling of the wind stopped, down
|
||
445 and down into the hole. The only light being cast from the trident. Ontho
|
||
446 slowwed the disk, so they wouldn't crash into anything unexpectedly. A strange
|
||
447 glow could be seen in the distance. Ontho slowed even further and they
|
||
448 "crawled" up to the cavern.
|
||
449 It opened up into a huge underground city of sorts. With modern
|
||
450 buildings secured to the floors and ceiling of the cave with steel fittings.
|
||
451 Moving sidewalks were everywhere. And all sorts of alien life was mulling
|
||
452 about. Several Inmo's included. Human children were everywhere, all wearing
|
||
453 the mind control headgear.
|
||
454 Our travelers were moving about unnoticed thanks to the invisablity
|
||
455 shield and were learned quite abit. Leo's hand was flying over the pages
|
||
456 in her journal. writing down as much as she could so her reports would
|
||
457 be accurate. Ontho was usig the disks sensory devices to located energy
|
||
458 sources, and found something quite interresting. A direct wave comming from
|
||
459 and monument straight ahead.

463 The time has come for the Federal government to issue each citizen a
|

464 VCR and a cable hookup. We already have the "bread", now we need the

465 circuses. If it's true that the average American watches 6(SIX!) hours of TV
|
||
466 a day, then why not let them watch 16? They won't be missed... Let the rest
|

467 of us continue civilization's progress, and let the other members of the Homo
|

468 Sapiens family (isn't Homo Sapiens Televionus an oxymoron?) branch off to their

469 (presumably) inevitable extinction. Give them continual television, and they

479 ---------------------------------------
|
||
480 My subtle mis-typing of the movie "The Terminator" is of course taken wrong by
|
||
481 those who disagree. Perhaps some don't realize a very common form of put-down
|
||
482 is to call something or someone incorrectly. "That's RockFORD, not RockFISH,
|
||
483 if you will."
|
||
484 My sources concerning the Wall seem to say different. Consider the film came
|
||
485 out over a year after the album was released (what kind of market setup is
|
||
486 that?) No one is going to release a movie based on an album that fails
|
||
487 miserably. There is no certainty in the record business, even for a group with
|
||
488 the stature of Pink Floyd. Distributers are going to wait until the basis of
|
||
489 the movie (the album) is firmly situated in the market place. Considering the
|
||
490 album was a huge sucess, won a grammy, and was widely acclaimed as one of the
|
||
491 greatest R&R works of all time, the movie was of course a natural.
|
||
492 'The Wall' was not an overwhelming commercial success, being resigned to smaller
|
||
493 theaters and cult status, which seem unfortunately to depend on lack of
|
||
494 success, but it is still a film that coupled with the album soundtrack,
|
||
495 accuratly depicted the group's outlook on society. Commercial success not-
|
||
496 withstanding, it was a moral success in the highest degree. For that, the
|
||
497 group and the makers of the film are to be commended for ignoring money as
|
||
498 the over-riding factor, and sticking with their original ideas.

|
||
502 Cistern/Cistop Mikey: I resent the innuendo that I have not the capacity or
|
||
503 the wit to understand the rules governing your system. I have read the
|
||
504 beginning the disk, and furthermore, I understand it. However, you sir, seem
|
||
505 not to understand what it says. The reason I 'spoke' to Phantom Glitch was
|
||
506 because he is not the Sysop. The Welcome message clearly states "...As the
|
||
507 system is privately owned, I retain the right to remove any and all messages
|
||
508 which I may find offensive." Unless you have given out the right of
|
||
509 censorship to the users, I felt he had oversteped his 'rights' of use on this
|
||
510 BBS.
|
||
511 If "Phantom Glitch" is one of your alternate personalities, please accept
|
||
512 my apologies. If not, I stand on my beliefs.

|
||
515 Perhaps the opening message should be reformatted to take the edge off. As
|
||
516 it stands, I am afraid it is a little insulting to those who were innocently
|
||
517 leaving entries without malice, or even knowledge that what they were doing
|
||
518 was wrong. Simply stating a few or only one, simple guidelines should make it
|
||
519 all just a bit nicer. As for what the guidelines should be; I have given no
|
||
520 thought to this. But with the style of this System; I'm sure one will be soon
|
||
521 found. If there is a recognized need. And I'm not sure about the need, or
|
||
522 lack thereof.
|
||
523
|
||
524 For the one who left forever; Why do you leave? I see nothing wrong with your
|
||
525 departing entry, perhaps a little sorrowfull, but my last BackWater message
|
||
526 would be too. My memory fails me as to who is so unpopular to warrant your
|
||
527 apparent banishment, and even if it is debatable (You unpopularity) then why
|
||
528 not make a new start? Even for all the people who make first impression
|
||
529 judgements that they take to their graves, pretty much everyone here is truly
|
||
530 kind, and gracious. I don't know why you have chosen to leave, nor why you
|
||
531 attribute unpopularity as a reason; but please come back, please?
