Am I a what? I possess the normal complement of anatomical parts, if

Typical. Everyone blames Chad. It's not as if he doesn't deserve the
blame, but it'd be nice if people were original and blamed someone else
occassionally. Dave Hemming would make a nice scapegoat.

Why me? Here I am, peacefully lurking in the murky depths of the froup like
some schizophrenic catfish, when all of a sudden I'm 'goated'. And those
trollocs drool so.
Why, I haven't handcuffed anyone to furniture for simply _ages_, and I'm
really cutting down on luring newbies into my web of depravity.

Do you mean he should not tied you to a chair without eplaining
in graphic detail what a top or a bottom is?
I thought I knew what a top was (a piece of clothing) and certainly
a bottom (not a piece of clothing) until Hawk told otherwise.
I think people should not recycle words until the words are worn out.
Like, for instance, gay. That was OK because nobody was gay anymore,
so the word was up for grabs. But I still see lots of bottoms around.

prostitutes, flamings and spammers rife. And that was just my waiting room.
A woke that morning with a sick taste in my mouth, and realised I'd slept
at the office again. Empty Jack Daniels bottles shook, then fell off the
end of the desk as the 8:15 backbone feed went past. I remembered I'd drunk
too much last night, but then I always drank too much. Ever since that last
case, The Velveeta Smearings. It had been bad, very bad. Not as bad as
Novak as Graendal, perhaps, but enough to make me wake in a cold sweat

Saying that Texans can use words implies that they understand them.
Perhaps it would be more correct to say that because Texans have
vocal cords and have watched enough television to be able to mimic
that which we call language, they are more annoying than Bonobo
monkeys, though bonobo monkeys really aren't that bad, once
you get to know them (another distinguishing feature between
bonobo monkeys and Texans).

They can use words, yes, but not in any intelligible fashion. The overall
effect is rather like being cursed at in Gaelic- you get the idea that
the intent is malign, but it's just a string of nonsense syllablesm and
can easily be tuned out.
And if you give enough monkeys typewriters, they can actually produce
some pretty good literature, which cannot be said for the same number of
Texans...

Having met a Texan in class, I feel it's proabable "words" are
actually random sounds of a rather odious parasite/bacteria race
evolved to look as humans and infiltrate human society and reduce
the "lowest common denominator" to mind-boggilingly low levels.

Oh, he's a scumbag, too.
But he doesn't have the same sort of ass-wiggling dance after a ten-yard
reception on the first drive of the game, "wait, don't arrest me, let me
tell you who I am," "Whaddaya mean, no call- he _dared_ to touch me!?!"
in-your-face arrogance, or that "You must give me seven million dollars
and my own endorsement package even though I couldn't tackle a
quadraplegic on roller skates, and the Carolina _punter_ laid me out"
preening self-absorption that would vault him into the "Somebody Break
His Legs, Please" category.
There are a few young players out there with the potential to jump into
that category (Keyshawn Johnson), and Williams is solidly in the running
for the Christian Peter "Somebody Sodomize This Jackass in Prison"

For the past few weeks, I've thought that the
"arkane.fan.breasts.lara-beaton" entry in the newsgroups line was a
joke. You know, as long as you list at least one valid group, you can
list as many invalid newsgroups as you want, and the whole list will
be preserved in followups.
I _thought_ it was an idle joke.
Then I checked my newsserver.
*snicker*
I knew that my newsserver was a newsgroups slut, but I _really_
didn't expect to see that somebody (read: Alistair) actually
CREATED the group AND PROPOGATED it.
I get an entire arkane hierarchy here at Apple:

>What other bizarre newsgroups does arkane have?
Currently just the standard lot plus two vanities, so:
arkane.announce Arkane Systems announcements (Moderated).
arkane.answers Regular FAQ postings for the arkane.* hierarchy (Moderated).
arkane.binaries For posting of binary files related to the other arkane.* newsgroups.
arkane.config Discussions about the creation of arkane.* newsgroups.
arkane.control News system directives for the arkane.* hierarchy.
arkane.fan.breasts.lara-beaton For discussion of the aforementioned.
arkane.misc Local discussions on any topic.
arkane.personal.alistair-young "Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
arkane.policy Discussions of Arkane Systems' systems administration policy.
arkane.replies Followups to postings originating at an arkane.co.uk site.
arkane.test Test messages for the arkane.* hierarchy (autoresponder)
Now that the hierarchy has quite thoroughly leaked from my local
machines and I'm inclined to let it, the policy is that any group
someone makes a good case for to me, and that I don't Horrendously
Disapprove Of, gets created. If your site wants a feed, tell them to
contact me or UUNET, as the only two sites I know of who carry the
entire hierarchy.

It depends... do you want the men to come drooling after you or not? If
you do, I'd let your breasts do what they will. In my experience, men
like it when breasts jump at them.

Never! The breast control lobby can't be allowed to win.
On a mostly unrelated subject, earlier today I actually saw a Canadian
dictionary. Luckily, I recognized it a for the scam that it was. First
of all, we all know that Canadian is at most a dialect and it is just
being used to get money for bilingual education. Second, it actually
claimed that "ou" is pronounced differently than "oo" in words like about.

It doesn't matter if you can be held legally responsible - can you be held
_morally_ responsible? If so, I can make your life a living hell for the
next 10 years, if I so choose.
And I'd love to hear about the other ones. Peeve: The only

It's more like the other way around. Why, I would never have dreamed of the
uses you could put a car aerial, a large quantity of duct tape, a goldfish,
mink mittens, the cast of "Cats!", a divers helmet, a bucket of soapy
frogs, a large funnel, Oil of Ulay, and a pound of satsumas to until I
started listening to the little Loy Voice in my head.
And don't we all have that voice?

Well, that's a long story. At first the arkane.* hierarchy was just
local to my machine, because it was a slow month, and news
administration seemed like something worthwhile to pick up to fill a
blank on my CV.
And that was on the same server software as I use to carry news for the
rest of the world, so I added .replies to the others, and started using
it to collect replies to my postings.
And then, by strange mischance (actually, I'd upgraded the software and
broken my newsfeeds file in the process), a checkgroups for arkane.*
leaked to the outside world. And I decided to let it. It seemed like a
good idea at the time.
Then, a couple of days later (October 31st last year), I spotted a post
including:
>In <5588sg$p...@hacgate2.hac.com>, lbe...@ccgate.hac.com (Lara Beaton)
>writes:

And I think that's a good idea. But I dislike alt.*, no-one takes alt.*
newgroups seriously, and I don't carry alt.* anyway. In a trice:
# cmsg newgroup arkane.fan.breasts.lara-beaton
Shazam!
>AND PROPOGATED it.
Easier than you might think. It's not as if it was an alt.* group, after
all. arkane.*, after all, is a legitimate local(ish) hierarchy, watched
over by the harsh but fair 'bot of a BNFH. I believe:
## ARKANE (Arkane Systems)
checkgroups:newsb...@arkane.demon.co.uk:arkane.*:doit=checkgroups
newgroup:newsb...@arkane.demon.co.uk:arkane.*:doit=newgroup
rmgroup:newsb...@arkane.demon.co.uk:arkane.*:doit=rmgroup
is even in the recommended control.ctl. And if they carry one, they
carry all...

We, kemosabe? Why would I have anything to do with Lara's breasts? It's

This conjures some rather dizzying images, I'm sad to say.

Given how difficult some of those things are to remove,
I guess they must be a puzzle to put on.

Some of my best friends are rat feces.
I was going to make some comment about the Loy being my puppet, but that
conjured some disturbing "Rod Hull and Emu" images, and I haven't eaten
yet.
And I try and organise these DFS's, but it seems as if people in the UK
have a life, and so getting everyone together at one time is damn near
impossible.
Well, it sounds better than "people in the UK have no money".

No, I think they need counseling. It sounds like your breasts are
suffering from mammary neglect. They act up and jump out of your
bra because they're starved for attention. Have you tried sitting
down and talking to them? Singing them a song? (Music soothes the
savage breast, you know.)

You're just saying that to get them out of your water supply and

So now I have been there. The arkane hierarchy consisted solely
of arkane.replies. Dejanews politely declined knowledge of
arkane.fan.breasts.lara-Beaton.
Except from that, dejanews sounds like a great site for people who
have free local calls and free internet access. (Say, students for
instance.)
So how do I find and connect to a free newsfeed distributing the
arkane hierarchy?
It's not time critical, really. But when Kate gets her vanity group
there, I'd like to be there from the start. <Tease, tease.>

Ask your normal newsadmin to add arkane.*? It shouldn't be hard for
him to do so, given that I post a checkgroups for it every month
(which includes details of the changes to his INN config), I've just
issued a set of booster newgroups, and if that fails, he can always
mail me.
Otherwise, it's a bit tricky. However, it's bound to be available on
some public news servers - trouble is, I don't know of any publically
available news servers.

Should've been more precise. I can't really justify an
arkane.fan.breasts group for myself. OTOH, just a plain ol'

Magnus, the original quotation _was_ "Music hath charms to
soothe the savage breast," so this wasn't some puerile
beast/breast substitution that you seem so fond of.

You know, some people like small breasts. Especially if they're
perky.

Perky is good.

Aaargh! Now you let the breast loose. Next we'll see "the beauty

Perky? Giggly bouncy cheerleaders are perky. Beauty pagent
contestants are perky. Weather forecasters are perky. Breasts are
not, and even if they were, I wouldn't want mine to be. Bleh.

Yeah, I guess it'd be annoying to have your breasts forecasting the
weather. Especially if they were wrong a lot...

They do this on purpose. From here it is completely impossible to
see if Brad was talking about perky people or perky breasts.
But I agree that I too automatically focused on the breasts.

Wow. What country was that poetry from and how are their
immigration rules? Most poetry around here is about beasts
not breasts (unsurprisingly if you read my postings I guess).
Savage breasts especially are conspiciously absent.
