||
God, you say to yourself, doesn't this guy ever write anything besides
|
||
terrorist files and "real this" and "real that"? Well, fuck you, it's 2:27,
|
||
EST, and I'm fucked up royally and just about as bored. So fuck the world,
|
||
anarchy rules, and here we go...
|
||
|
||
o A Real User reads the welcome message and bulletins. But only if they don't
|
||
have spinning cursors and the "latest backspaceing modz" in them. A Real Leech
|
||
never reads welcomes or bulletins UNLESS they have spinning shit and backspaces.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User, when downloading, estimates his time very carefully so he knows
|
||
if it's safe to go take a shit or make a sandwich or whatever. A Real Leech
|
||
sets his term program to automatically download everything and then hang up.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User, if drawn into chatting, will chat. A Real Leech, if drawn into
|
||
chat, will drop carrier.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User only tries to chat if he's bored or has a serious question. A
|
||
Real Leech hits ^G fifty million times and U/L's his own pager files whenever he
|
||
wants to only say "Plleeeeez put up Karateka sidez 1-50 for meeeeeeee
|
||
kkk-d000de?"
|
||
|
||
o A Real User writes his own g-files and uploads them. A Real Leech changes
|
||
the names in g-files and uploads them
|
||
|
||
o A Real User is over 15 years old. A Real Leech is under 15 years old.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User doesn't make excuses if he doesn't have the latest. A Real
|
||
Leech lies and says he has the latest but he has to go eat supper.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User can comfortably switch between voice and data as often as he
|
||
likes. A Real Leech doesn't know how, and besides, is afraid that people will
|
||
hear his voice and trace it. It usually rivals that of a castrated squirrel in
|
||
tone and pitch.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Ok, I'm still fucked up and still fucking bored, so let's move on to their
|
||
personal habits...
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
o A Real User reads sci-fi and fantasy. Sometimes horror. A Real Leech reads
|
||
the Magic of Xanth.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User reads either Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or nothing at all. A
|
||
Reel Leech reads Marvel SuperHeroes Secret Wars.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User will eat any kind of food once. A Real Leech sticks to Count
|
||
Chocula for breakfast and burgers for dinner.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User isn't inside his hous 24 hours a day working on the computer. A
|
||
Real Leech is, unless he's over at another leech's house where when one of them
|
||
goes to take a shit, the other copies as many disks as he can...
|
||
|
||
o A Real User has a job. A Real Leech depends on a $25 a week allowance his
|
||
parents give him for taking out the garbage.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User goes out on Friday nights, and either gets laid, fucked up, or
|
||
both. He has no memory the next day, and doesn't give a fuck. A Real Leech
|
||
invites a friend over. They steal gin or something sorry like that from his
|
||
parent's liquor cabinet. They each take two sips and puke their asses off and
|
||
vow never to do it again, or they dilute it with Cherry Coke, drink the whole
|
||
thing, and go jump off his roof. Good riddance.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User drinks peppermint schnapps. A Real Leech, as I said, doesn't
|
||
get drunk. If he does, it's on gin.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User is over 5 feet in height. A Real Leech is rarely over 5 feet,
|
||
and when he is, he's so skinny it looks like someone cast a Duo-Dimension spell
|
||
on him...
|
||
|
||
o A Real User dreams of putting a board up, and sometimes does. A Real Leech
|
||
puts up a paid-for, unmodified version of Net-Works on a single drive system.
|
||
His welcome screen has nothing BUT text-trix. He has no good files to speak of,
|
||
because he wants the board to be "totally 100% super-duper triple-mega-awesome
|
||
ELITE!"
|
||
|
||
o A Real User listens to alternative radio. A Real Leech listens to Top 40.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User likes everything except Top 40 and C&W. A Real Leech thinks
|
||
heavy metal is for drugged out brainless morons. He fantasizes about Cyndi
|
||
Lauper. (The smart Real User fantasizes about Tina Turner.)
|
||
|
||
o A Real User fantasizes now and then. A Real Leech fantasizes all the time
|
||
unless he's on the computer. (Maybe that is why they download so much...so they
|
||
have time to fantisize and jack off on the keyboard while the file is being
|
||
received...)
|
||
|
||
o A Real User would not be crushed by the loss of the warboard. A Real Leech
|
||
would die without the warboard. He posts funny stuff like "FUK U! YUR A FUKIN
|
||
WIMP AND IM GONNU KIK YUR AS IF I EVER KETCH U OUTSIDE YUUR HOUSE
|
||
MUTHERFUKR...LAYTOR D0000000000DZ...!@#$%^&*()THE BLACK TURTLE)(*&^%$#@!"
|
||
|
||
o A Real User knows how to spell and construct well-written, grammatically
|
||
correct sentences. He knows how to punctuate. A Real Leech does too, but he
|
||
thinks it's "k-k0000l" to do it as shown above.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User uses text capture on stupid messages like that, and on text
|
||
files. A Real Leech turns on text capture at carrier detect, and keeps it on
|
||
for the whole day so he can impress his leech friends who call up his "AE" and
|
||
see a file one hundred trillion sectors long...of course he saves it as a
|
||
protected binary file so they can't do anything with it but they are impressed
|
||
anyway.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User likes files like this, and writes one at some point in his life.
|
||
A Real Leech reads a file like this, and leaves feedback saying "MAKE THAT ONE
|
||
GUY WHASTHISFACE OHYEAH SECTOR SURGEON OR WHATEVER MAKE HIM QUIT WRITING PHILLLS
|
||
ABOUT MEEE"
|
||
|
||
o A Real User likes anybody who is cool, no matter what they look like or
|
||
believe in. A Real Leech likes people who give him wares. And the nuns at his
|
||
school that he sucks up to. And his dog. And...and that's about it.
|
||
|
||
o A Real User writes clear, concise messages. A Real Leech thinks it's
|
||
"k-k000l" to put something like this on the last line of his message:
|
||
|
||
.S
|
||
/EX
|
||
<CR>
|
||
.ES
|
||
/ES
|
||
/FUCK
|
||
|
||
|
||
o A Real User posts something either humorous, informative, or asking for some
|
||
help. A Real Leech posts something like "Latest Backspaceing Tips" or "NEw modz
|
||
for Apple Cat 212 and Net-Worx"
|
||
|
||
o A Real User parties for fun. Or, failing that, gets fucked up and writes a
|
||
file like this just for the fuck of it...then when he's done he figures what the
|
||
hell and uploads it to some place...
|
||
|
||
A Real Leech for fun does one of the following:
|
||
|
||
-Jacks off -Watches grass grow
|
||
-Listens to Top 40 tapes -Sits across from the fire station in hopes
|
||
on dictating casettes that there will be a fire somewhere
|
||
-Invents new backspaces -Invents new handles
|
||
-Clips his fingernails and -Reads his dad's Playboy
|
||
saves the clippings -Jacks off some more
|
||
|
||
Good God! It only took me 33 minutes to write this stupid file? I'm more
|
||
stoned than I thought. Oh well...guess I'll go blast Jimi Hendrix and turn on
|
||
the 'ol strobelight...
