64 what happened to my message? Boy some welcome to Portland I get...
|

65 Ya see, I've never been lucky enough, coming from a small town in New
|
||
66 Jersey, to have all this great fun with computers. Gee whiz what a crazy
|
||
67 bunch of people to have a billboaard on a computer. Well now I'm just
|
||
68 rambling on, but I have noticed that a lot of people do. Some pretty
|
||
69 interesting stuff...They have just asked if they will ever be able
|
||
70 to pry me away from this darn computer...never ever ever,,, I've
|
||
71 become obssessed. I'll never leave here,I'll just keep typing til the day
|
||
72 I die. Oh well...Anyway, it's kinda annoying when you try to call
|
||
73 somewhere and it's busy...so I guess I'll go and give someone else a
|

74 chance to ramble on as I have. See Ya Later....

79 my computer shows. Oh well, that's

80 the way it goes when you're a hacker

81 that lives poor in the backwater of

82 Forest Grove. All condolences are

|
||
120 It was a quiet afternoon at the Hysterisis Bar, five klicks from the Vega stargate. The bar was frequented mostly
|
||
121 by Vegans, which could pass for earth humans or Kadanites as long as you didn't X-ray them. Right now, though, the
|
||
122 place was almost empty.
|
||
123 The slid into the wall to reveal a tall, skinny young man. He walked in tiredly and sat painfully at a table near
|
||
124 the door. After about a minute the bartender came out from behind the counter and walked over to him. "Mandell! I
|
||
125 thought it was you. I haven't seen you around here for a long time."
|
||
126 "Hello, Mak." he sighed. "Just got in. Gonna head out tonight."
|
||
127 Mak caught the pain in James' voice. Vegans have strong empathic skills. "What's the matter? You're hurting. I can
|
||
128 feel it from here."
|
||
129 "Just a few problems. Nothing 240 grains of copper-jacketed lead wouldn't cure. Or some poison. Howsabout fixing me
|
||
130 a Fusion Fizzle?"
|
||
131 Mak shook his head. "Your funeral, man." he went off to fix the drink. He brought it in a lead-lined, steel cup
|
||
132 with a pressure lid. Before he left, he said, "You feel like you want to talk about it, let me know, okay?"
|
||
133 "Sure." James said shortly. With his powers, he didn't dare get drunk for fear of losing control and hurting
|
||
134 someone that he didn't want to hurt. He was still relatively weak, though, so there was little danger of that. Soon he
|
||
135 was quite crocked but he didn't feel any better. In fact, he felt worse. And he was definitely gonna puke soon. He
|
||
136 suddenly remembered that that was why he didn't like to drink.
|
||
137 Then somebody laid a hand on his shoulder. Real or imagined? Who cared? He looked up unsteadily into a face with
|
||
138 three eyes. A grey box lay below the alien's chin, and when it spoke in its own incomprehensable dialect, the box
|
||
139 translated. Somewhat. It made for a facinating effect to the more than slightly drunk James. "yOU ArE thE
|
||
140 DEstrOyEr?"
|
||
141 James looked around. This weirdo had friends. Lots of them. Actually, there were only half as many as he saw. He
|
||
142 was definitely drunk. "No. I'm just a dock worker getting fortified for my shift. What are you?"
|
||
143 The alien ignored this. "iIi thInk yOU ArE thE DEstrOyEr. yoU ArE InjUrEd AnD dEfEnslEss rIght nOw. iIi hAvE wAItEd
|
||
144 fOr thIs OppOrtUnIty fOr A lOng..."
|
||
145 He would have had a hard enough time understanding the alien if he were sober. What he heard now was mostly
|
||
146 incoherent but he was getting the general idea. He reached under his jacket and whipped out a .44 Mag Smith. "I'm not
|
||
147 in a very good mood right now. Give me any crap and I'll give you a third, uh, fourth eye." He held the gun unsteadily
|
||
148 on the alien's face (one of them), right between the eyes. All three (six?) of them.
|
||
149 Aside from seeing double, James' mind was about ten percent functional at that time. He had honestly forgotten that
|
||
150 there was more than one of them. He recieved a reminder in the form of a steel bar applied liberally to the back of
|
||
151 his skull. The gun fell from already numb fingers and clattered on the floor. The entire world dissolved in a double
|
||
152 shower of stars and he was out cold before he hit the floor.

|
||
155 The sounds of revelry broke through the piper's self-absorbtion. Nearly
|
||
156 half of the Innhabitants were joyously celebrating the advent of the Terran
|
||
157 new year, while others looked on in incomprehension. A soft whisper reached
|
||
158 his ear.
|
||
159 "What do they celebrate? What bonds do they reinforce?"
|
||
160 Looking about, the piper was unable to discern the speaker, and so replied
|
||
161 aloud in a soft voice.
|
||
162 "They celebrate the counting of a new year in one of the Terrestrial c
|
||
163 cultures. A large porportion of the inngoers have ties to a culture that
|
||
164 usually ends a year in a state of intoxication -- under the impression that
|
||
165 it is necessary to erase reality to have 'fun'."
|
||
166 "How unique!" came the whispered reply. "And this explains their racous
|
||
167 behaviour? Is there more to this custom?"
|
||
168 "Yes," answered the piper. "Many also take this time to review their lives
|
||
169 for the past year, and make solemn resolves to improve themselves during the
|
||
170 next year. These 'New Year's Resolutions' often last as long as two or three
|
||
171 weeks, during which the resolver makes himself and others around him
|
||
172 miserable by the display of virtue he exhibits."
|
||
173 "How charming!" came the soft whisper. Then, seeming from a great
|
||
174 distance, "Do you not have a resolve to make?"
|
||
175 ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

181 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
|
||
182 ..... Jenny had an absolutely radiant smile, the kind that makes you happy
|
||
183 just looking at her. Allen stood up to greet her. She dropped her bag and
|
||
184 they held each other tight.
|
||
185 "How have you been? I haven't seen you for quite some time."
|
||
186 "Oh, I've been around. It's kind of hard to find the time to get
|
||
187 everything done these days," she said. "But I do try to keep in touch."
|
||
188 "Then I'm honored!" remarked Allen facetiously.
|
||
189 "Be still, you know what I meant. I just thought that I'd stop by on
|
||
190 my way home from the library. And since your house just happens to be on
|
||
191 the way I decided to drop in."
|
||
192 "On the way? I live six blocks in the wrong direction for you to have
|
||
193 been going home," he corrected.
|
||
194 "Would you be quiet! You're ruining my excuses," she said as she
|
||
195 began to beat on his chest with her fists. "Besides, I wanted to give you
|
||
196 something." She left him to retrieve her bag. From it she removed a paper
|
||
197 sack and handed it to him. "Happy seventh day of Christmas Snoopy."
|
||
198 "What's this, a gaggle of swans?" he mused. As she handed him the
|
||
199 sack the paper tore. He was surprised as to its contents. "Hey, haven't I
|
||
200 seen this stuff before Jen? Weren't these up..."
|
||
201 "Up in the attic, over my room," she finished. "Yup, I'd noticed you
|
||
202 looking over some of the old stuff." Allen fingers carefully traced the
|
||
203 lines that embossed the cover of the book that was held within the bag, his
|
||
204 eyes were glued to it. "Thought I'd dump some of on you. Do you like it?"
|
||
205 "Dump? Jen, I think you've really missed the mark on that one. A
|
||
206 sacrifice would be a better word." His eyes lifted to see hers. After a
|
||
207 moment they dropped back to the book and the sack he held. "And this. Why
|
||
208 did you bring this along too?" he asked. Jenny was silent.
|
||
209 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

||
210 Well, it was the seventh day when I wrote it...

213 John Slivermen;
|
||
214 ou were on NONAME looking for a author of a story. Well I am
|
||
215 sorry that my story was purged from this system so fast. they
|
||
216 have thought it obscenity. In a "Newsweek" article, Memphis
|
||
217 osecutor Larry Parrish brilliantly stated, "There is absolutely
|
||
218 no question that there is such a thing as obscenity. The Supreme
|
||
219 Court has said that there is and Congress has said that there
|
||
220 ." I realize it's hard to contain your laughter, but honest,
|
||
221 that's a verbatim quote. What's your preference, "Deep Throat" or
|
||
222 war? Mr. Parrish evidently believes that Deep Throat is abscene;
|
||
223 meone else might think it's obscene for the Government to
|
||
224 enslave an individual and force him into a situation where he
|
||
225 must either murder strangers or be murdered himself. [called
|
||
226 afted into the armed forces and given the opportunity to defend
|
||
227 your country] Is this called the eye of the beholder?
|
||
228 The people and sysop on this board have agreed with Mr.
|
||
229 rish. But as an author I can not help but try and reach some
|
||
230 motion in my reader. and it sounds as if I may have, And what
|
||
231 stronger emotion then sex. Better Yet,forbiden sex.

|
||
242 557:
|
||
243 Ah, the obscenity debate. Words of argument just so you can print words about
|
||
244 sex. And wherefore does the entertainment value come from such a piece? The
|
||
245 titillation factor of course, and sometimes the thrill of danger, of writing
|
||
246 (and then reading) words that have often not been allowed.
|
||
247 No, yours is not some piece of art, exploring worlds which need to be explored
|
||
248 on a system used by young and old, family people and others.
|
||
249 'Readers Digest' wouldn't print a story about two people having sex in explicit
|
||
250 detail, it belongs in 'Playboy'. And just as so, your story doesn't belong
|
||
251 here, especially considering the fact that there are so many so-called 'adult'
|
||
252 or 'free' boards where that kind of writing is desired.
|
||
253 Your purpose is only to entertain by way of sexual arousal. While we needn't
|
||
254 debate as to whether that itself is obscene or not, you must consider the
|
||
255 forum in which it's presented. In my opinion, this is not the proper forum
|
||
256 for it. Mikey, keep editing... and thanks for doing so... but since this first

276 If we deny the existance of the autonomous systems, imagining that we
|
||
277 hace got rid of them by a critique of the name, then their effect which
|
||
278 nevertheless continues cannot be understood, and they can no longer be
|
||
279 assimilated to consciousness. Then they become an inexplicable factor of
|
||
280 disturbance which we finally assume must exist somewhere or other outside
|
||
281 of ourselves. In this way, a projection of the autonomous systems results,
|
||
282 and at the same time, a dangerous situation is created, because the
|
||
283 disturbing effects are now attributed to bad will outside ourselves which
|
||
284 of course is not to be found anywhere but at our neighbor's-de l'autre

290 One Long Saturday...
|
||
291 (Part 5)
|
||
292
|
||
293 Moments later six dripping aliens stood in front of him. In that same annoying matter-of-fact voice, Amogo
|
||
294 explained, "A refreshingly uneventful experience. It was fortunate that our lungs easily convert to breathing liquids.
|
||
295 We saw very little water life, though."
|
||
296 Jim groaned and buried his face in his hands. After regaining his composure he led them to a spot in the far
|
||
297 corner of his property, as far from the house as possible. There was a small drum with two wires running from it and
|
||
298 some towels on top. He handed them each a towel and said, "Dry yourselves off. Uh, wait here. I'll be right back. I
|
||
299 just remembered my lunch is sitting in the oven."
|
||
300 Trying not to appear too anxious, he walked back towards the house. This was his last hope. The wires ran across
|
||
301 the field all the way over to his car. Instead of going clear back to the house, he turned and walked to the car, where
|
||
302 the hood was up. One of the wires was hooked to the negative terminal of the battery. The other lay on the ground. He
|
||
303 picked it up.
|
||
304 Jim was an avid black powder shooter. That drum contained his whole stock of black powder (about twenty pounds)
|
||
305 and a blasting cap, which the wires were attached to. From here Jim could just see that the aliens were patiently
|
||
306 waiting around the drum, like he asked. He just hoped the current would still be strong enough to set off the cap after
|
||
307 travelling through all that wire. Crouching low behind the fender, he touched the other wire to the positive
|
||
308 terminal.
|
||
309 He needn't have worried. First there was a flash that nearly blinded him. Then the ground shook as if God himself
|
||
310 had stamped down on upon the earth. A split-second later came a huge BOOM! that almost split his eardrums. They must
|
||
311 have heard that for miles. Hopefuly it won't bring the cops way out here. Jim came out of hiding and walked towards a
|
||
312 dissipating seventy foot mushroom cloud.
|
||
313 All that was left was a smoking crater of respectable size. No aliens. He'd blown 'em to smithereens. Finally! He
|
||
314 allowed himself a relieved sigh when he realized it was all over.

315 And sucked that sigh back in when he heard grass crunching from behind. Spinning on his heel, he saw a blackened
|
||
316 alien walking up to him, a little unsteadily. Looking around, he saw another one about twenty yards away coming from a
|
||
317 different direction. It took almost half an hour, but eventually they all found their way back.
|
||
318 Surrounded by six diminuative aliens staring at him accusingly, the only thing left he could think of doing was
|
||
319 breaking down and crying. He was out of ideas. He was doomed.
|
||
320 And so was the earth.

351 that length to make things easier on you.

363 As the door to the Inn opened, a friendly individual walked quietly in and
|
||
364 shut the door. As he looked around the Inn, he found the usual amount of
|
||
365 Inngoers taking in the seasons delights. Suddenly, a large, friendly fellow
|
||
366 with long ponytail type hair jumped up and charged toward the man at the
|
||
367 door. "PaPa Smurf!!" he exclaimed, "How have you been." Most of the
|
||
368 people turned to take note of the individual (wearing a blue shirt, blue
|
||
369 pants and blue shoes) that looked alot like a 'man in blue' but who was
|
||
370 really, PaPa Smurf. "Well, Leonard", PaPa began "my story style maybe
|
||
371 just the same, but I'm really glad to have stopped by." "After a week
|
||
372 like this one, my, oh, me." "Tell me more", Leonard prompted. "Well,
|
||
373 I have had encounters with a Vegan, the strong empathic skills type. I
|
||
374 should see if Mandell knows him. Hmmmm. Ah, it was generally a very
|
||
375 interesting New Year's. Let's sit down and chat a few." So PaPa and
|
||
376 Leonard sit a chat. The Inn seemed not to change much at all since the
|
||
377 last visit. Nice debates about obscenity and old references to FRANK
|
||
378 being drawn up again from the deeps of the cellar. Frankenstupe putting
|
||
379 in his two cents (2 pennies that I agree with). And a Doctor Who
|
||
380 reference that looked interesting. Hmmmm, yes the Inn does continue one
|
||
381 now then doesn't it. "It does indeed", says Leonard. "Well I must
|
||
382 be going, sleep awaits. Hope to see you all again sometime, and may the
|
||
383 blessing be with each and everyone one of you." The blue man walked to
|
||
384 the door and closed it behind him. Some woundered how long he would be
|
||
385 gone this time, but everyone knew that he was indeed still alive, and
|
||
386 always fond of the Inn.

|

412 Hey! I think we've got a great ol' gay BBS right here! Everyone is so happy
|
||
413 all the time, most of the comments are positive and based on learned material
|
||
414 (often recently, allowing for the fact that there seems to be many college
|
||
415 students bounding in and out), and everyone indeed already has a gay old time!
|
||
416 So sit back and enjoy it! Be happy! Be gay! Why look elsewhere!
|
||
417
|
||
418 ...
|
||
419 Mr. Silverman, since you keep peeking in and out, presumably interested in what
|
||
420 others have to say about your story, as we all are when we write but it is
|
||
421 seldom obliged unless it totters on either the brink of genius or the brink of
|
||
422 completely inaninity (is that a word? Inane, inanity? Could be...) so I will
|
||
423 offer my words to oblige you thereof and because although I don't believe your
|
||
424 story totters on the brink of genius it is certainly, without a doubt, one of
|
||
425 the few stories I can actually find myself smiling at when it begins, and just
|
||
426 as much so by the end.
|
||
427 Hope you can keep it up, paradise would be if it would stay amusing, but reality
|
||
428 tells us the fun wears off after a bit (ref: Destroyer) and gets tedious, if
|
||
429 you can wander on that fine line and wrap it up sometime in the distant future
|
||
430 with a sock 'em up ending this deserves,

431 why, I'll just be so gay!

454 The chrome and black car sped through the fog and over the asphalt.
|
||
455 The man on the running board lept off as the car sped away.
|
||
456 His shoes touched the wet cement. He slipped as his shoes skidded
|
||
457 across the wet sidewalk.
|
||
458 He regained his balance and straightened himself. Testing the grip of
|
||
459 his shoes, he walked on. Still straightening his tie.
|
||
460 The shoes made little noise as he ran up the stairs. The red carpet
|
||
461 disappeared behind him and a dark marble floor took it's place.
|
||
462 "Table for two," Murmered the man with wet shoes.
|
||
463 "Will you be waiting long?" Inquired the oriental concierge.
|
||
464 "I said, 'For two'," Demanded the man slipping a ten spot over to the
|
||
465 conciierge.
|
||
466 The guy in the tux led the way to a small table, over another red
|
||
467 carpet. The top of the table was black marble and trimmed in gold. Even the
|
||
468 red candle fit into the color scheme.
|
||
469 "What? You want more money?"
|
||
470 The guy in the tux stopped smiling and turned on his heel, walking off
|
||
471 the carpet, his heels now clicking on the marble.
|
||
472 "Lousy son of a," He stopped to select a cigarette from his silver
|
||
473 case. Without lighting it, he put it in his mouth, then continued to curse,
|
||
474 tucking the case slyly into his breast pocket.
|
||
475 His eyes surveyed the crowd. They all ate strangely. A pair of girls
|
||
476 tried to use chopsticks, their mother tried to stop them. One old man was
|
||
477 staring at the girls, stabbing his cheek with his fork. A youngg man was
|
||
478 staring at the mother, a pepper dangling stupidly from his mouth.
|
||
479 His eyes caught one of th girls. She stared at him. He gglanced away
|
||
480 but found himself staring back. How old could she be?
|
||
481 "Down boy," Said a woman, arrannging herself at the table. Her purse
|
||
482 in front of her, her boxes off to the left and right.
|
||
483 "Anyone ever call you a perfectionist?" He asked sarcasticly,
|
||
484 forgetting the girl, now appraising the woman. How old could this one be?
|
||
485 She wore a low cut dress and a fur over her shoulders, which she pulled
|
||
486 across her shoulders and tucked away in one of her boxes.
|
||
487 "I said 'Down boy', not 'Beg'," She said as cynically as he had ever
|
||
488 heard anyone say anything. Is she as cold inside as it is outside?
|
||
489 "Right," He matched her cynicism. "Why'd we have to met so damned
|
||
490 early in the morning?"
|
||
491 "I'm paying, that's why,"
|
||
492 "Right," He was willing to bet she was that cold inside. "So, talk,"

558
|

559 I READ WHAT "TSSC" SAID EARLIER ABOUT SAID STORY AND AUTHOR AND JUST WANTED
|

560 TO SAY THAT I AGREE COMPLETELY. I HAVE BEEN ON THIS BOARD SINCE BEFORE HE
|
||
561 BEGUN THAT TURKEY AND WHILE IT WAS WELL WRITTIN AND INTERSTING AT THE BEGINNING
|
||
562 IT HAS SINCE DEGENERATED TO A BORING, TEDIOUS MESS. I AM SURE OTHER'S AGRE WITH

563 ME AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SHOWING OF HANDS:
|

564 HOW MANY THINK THE DESTROYER SHOUD EITHER END OR SIMPLY TERMINATE HIS STORY?

565 I WOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING BUT HE IS TAKING VALUABLE SPACE THAT OTHER, MORE INTER

566 ESTING WRITIERS COULD BE USING. WRITERS LIKE EMU AND PIPER, TO NAME A COUPLE.

|
||
570 Well, let's not be so harsh... at least we could say it nicely. He's been try-
|
||
571 ing hard and has after all provided at least a partial time of good reading.
|
||
572 The message should not be "get lost!", it should be, "hey guy, we've liked your
|
||
573 writing, but, either a little spice or something new, we're not excited anymore!
|
||
574 Oh, what a fickle public we are...
|
||
575 Political debate? Sounds good to me! Obscenity, creation and AIDS debates are
|
||
576 too hashed and rehashed. That's what we need, a good political debate. My guess
|
||
577 is that most of these college whiz kids out there have learned to be pretty
|
||
578 liberal from their teachers (the ones who can't make it in the free enterprise
|
||
579 system, so they become teachers and condemn it), so I'll take the conservative
|
||
580 point of view. We're near the bottom here, so on the next disk, let's get one
|
||
581 started. Like, why we should let South Africa work out its own problems and we
|
||
582 should stay out of it, or Star Wars or

583 whatever. We need some fierce dialogue

604 TED: Actually, I haven't said anything on this disk. There was only one
|
||
605 line of comment, and that was the editorial remark in the indicated message
|
||
606 that I removed. Perhaps you confused someone else with me, many people
|
||
607 use the "**" seperation border, so just seeing it doesn't mean that I
|
||
608 left the message. I have only two characters on this system, The Innkeeper,
|
||
609 and CISTOP MIKEY. Both of which I always sign the name within the bottom
|
||
610 border (see below). Normally I would remove all references to said message,
|
||
611 but I felt it had merit enough in the opening argument that I decided to
|
||
612 at least leave that. And, there certainly were a lot of people interested
|
||
613 given by the response on this disk. At least the individual seems to have
|
||
614 gotten what he was after, attention. Personally I don't care about the
|
||
615 existance of such writing, but, it belongs in its proper place, and that
|
||
616 place is not here as is clearly spelled out at the top of each disk (not
|
||
617 that anybody READS the thing). As for the individual, he was writing for
|
||
618 himself, not anyone else. If he had truly been interested in the people
|
||
619 he was writting for, he would have first determined what they liked or
|
||
620 objected to. Not that that in itself is good or bad, having something that
|
||
621 is objected too be written can be good as it stirs up the old brain cells,
|
||
622 but a person shouldn't get all upset when others express their dislike.
|
||
623 As for first amendment rights, as the old saying goes, your rights stop
|
||
624 where my property line starts. When you are a guest, you play by their rules
|
||
625 and you shouldn't be surprised or offended that you are asked to leave when
|
||
626 you don't play by those rules.
