Ahh! We turn the big one-oh! Quite a milestone. Or maybe not. It's been
|
||
going fairly well for everyone here, especially me. But, being the president
|
||
of such an extremely ELiTE group such as ReD, and being the SysOp of the best
|
||
board in Pennsylvania (heh), I end up getting a whole lot of stupid mail.
|
||
I've been saving up most of this mail just so one day I could show my kids
|
||
what a geek I was. But, since the file's grown pretty large, I've decided
|
||
to release it as a ReD article. Notice -- if you believe any of this for
|
||
even a second, you're a freaking moron. Except for the letter from Jeremy
|
||
Kister, of course. That's completely real. Read on, Sparky...

Guy walks into a bar and orders a drink. Bartender brings it to him and
|
||
the guy drinks it. So the guy orders another, only this time it's a double.
|
||
Barkeeper pours it and the guy downs it. This goes on for a while. Finally,
|
||
the guy is so drunk he can barely stand. The bartender says, "Don't you
|
||
think you've had enough?" but the guy demands another drink. Finally, he
|
||
crawls out of the bar, gets in his car, and drives home, totally plastered
|
||
out of his mind. He stumbles into the house and his wife is packing two
|
||
suitcases. "Honey, are we going on a trip?" he slurs, and she says, "No. I'm
|
||
leaving you because of your terrible drinking problem!" Hey, thank you, thank
|
||
you. You're a great audience.

I know you have a Volkswagen, and you know a fair amount about them, so I
|
||
have a question: I own an '84 Rabbit GTI. Recently I ejaculated on the
|
||
distributor advance. Can I expect a horsepower loss even though I advanced
|
||
the ignition to about six degrees and adjusted the timing accordingly? Also,
|
||
I'm thinking of pissing on my fuel injectors. Would you recommend this?

Last night on The Tonight Show, I heard Tony Danza mention that he would be
|

appearing in a program on something called "CBS". Is this the mysterious

"other network" I have heard reference to so many times? Where can I find it?

Is there a special hookup invloved?

Man, do you think it's just coincidence that the NEA and the DEA sound so

People say that rodeo clowning is one of the hardest jobs out there,
|
||
because rodeo clowns must not only entertain the crowds but must distract
|
||
enraged rodeo animals as well. In exchange, we are rewarded with awe and
|
||
respect. Okay, fair enough. But I'd like to point out that hanging off a
|
||
truck and picking up pieces of broken glass from the highway using nothing
|
||
but your butt cheeks isn't such a goddamn great job either, and all I get is
|
||
fifty cents over minumum wage. Put that in your go-figure file!

I was watching Mr. Ed today and I noticed that the words did not really

match up with his mouth when he was speaking. Was this because the show was

comparison. Thank you.

You write those ReD articles, right? Well, I am a lonely overweight
|
||
teenager who loves your articles. My only friends are the people I've met
|
||
in its contents -- the funny characters, the strange situations, the people
|
||
that you always talk about. Sure, I guess there's a lot in my lifestyle to
|
||
laugh at, and most other kids think I'm pretty strange. But that's all right,
|
||
because I've got my "friends" whom I meet and talk to over and over again.
|
||
I also beat off a lot.
