Hang on, some of them are still around and will be here soon (once the
sun comes up or goes down, depending).

They *live* for these moments.

hey there Dusty! :) Johnny Blaze has been MIA for a few years, Wombat
I think is hibernating, Wiz I haven't seen around for years and years,
but Mother Nature is here a lot lately and I see Ice drop in

Ma has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Now you're gonna see some *real* penpalling. Not the mindless junk that
goes on here now, a mere shadow of the past, but the real thing.

I can't wait. This should be magical.

Gather around all you young penpals and watch as the *real* penpals show
us how it's done.

No, Ma, I mean it. You periodically whine and cry over the lost past

them leave, etc. "They were the good penpals and you're all second-rate

Too bad you'd have been a bit too young when I was in college, and driving a

Hi Patrick. I've heard plenty of stories about what went on in VW Kombi vans

The Karmann Ghia was a flattened version of the Beetle, and mind had the
automatic stick-shift...and my paint job was a pale yellow (something like
"font color=#CCCC99" in HTML coding) Believe it or not, one summer four of
my running buddies - two male, two female - were on my team in a summer
bowling league, and I could get all four of them into the Ghia, albeit with
some creative contortion that left me enough room to be able to drive safely.
(Of course, we were all 19 or 20 at the time. Case closed. ;-)

Time flies when you're having fun
I read somebody's post
But, if all I've been is fun
Then, baby, let me go; don't wanna be in your way
And I don't wanna be your second choice
Don't wanna be just your friend
You keep telling me that you're not in love
You wanna throw it all away

But I can't stay away from you
I don't wanna let you go
And, though you're killfiling me--that's true
There's just some things I can't control/alt/del
Your love is slipping through my hands
And, though I've heard it all before
I know you're telling me the truth
I know it's just no use
But I can't stay away from you

The first time ever I saw your posts
I thought the soc rose in your i's
And the google and socks were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty newsgroup, my love,
To the dark and the empty newsgroup.

The first time ever I dreamed I kissed your mouth
And felt your heart beat close to mine
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command.com, my love
That was there at my command.com

And the first time ever I replied all with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your posts, your posts,
your posts, your posts
