If I were an OS, you wouldn't call me "he", so that must be ruled out.

Sorry, Spot's not axxowed to be the grand wizard... he's JUST a DOG!

Not the entire /usr/news/spool. I go around the core files. Silly.

No, but I did invent Silly Matter, the key ingredient in Silly Putty and
Pop Rocks and Edible Underwear.

>Kibo _might_ be a de-syple of "Bob"...

No. I paid "Bob" $20 to be FREE of that bastard. I even joined "Stamp
Out Bob" (send $1 to S.O.B., PO Box 140306, Dallas TX 75214).

I'm sorry, I refuse to save anyone who can't master the zen art of the
apostrophe.

Why would you warlord that one-line .sig? I think it's CLEVER to have
your .sig look as if some weenerbrane had deleted it, you weenerbrane.

Darn... I was hoping to ftp some when I finally found a host that could
find world.std.com...

Two weeks ago, I got to make faces behind "Bob"'s back in a bar! Then he
used his Pipe to suck beer from _someone else's_ glass!

I considered it, and then I though, "No, I'm an English student. I don't
_like_ apostrophe catastrophes. Or the apostrophe catastrophe's
apostrophes."
