Yes, I think I got it. Will you please send me the registration card?
Your .sig was tested and found ok to hang just next to Kibo's .sig on
the front toilet wall of our flat.
I know... That possibility is mentioned nowhere in your license agreement,
but I look forward to the update. There are really many people here all
the time, so maybe someone will read and buy your .sig after he has seen
it in our toilet. Want me to be your german main distributor?

The updated .sig will appear in a week or so, as will the new
alt.religion.kibology charter/FAQage. Not to mention I'll be giving out
door prizes.

I think I may even spruce up the Postscript version with some even
ickier typefaces, too. It needs to have all of Motter's faces worked in
somehow.

Oh, yes, I've also been promising to post a self-portrait. That may
have to wait a bit, but I'll post a nice one that you can print
poster-size (with no jaggies :-)) once I have the better equipment.

>P.P.S.: Copyright (c) very extremely late 1991 Muli Mailbox Press, Exc.

No it isn't! Didn't you read the charter I never posted? Anything that
gets cross-posted to alt.religion.kibology automatically becomes
property of the Kibological Natural Understanding Research Doctors
(KNURDs) who may use it for financial gain and sleazy seductions.

Except, of course, Chris (cgw, poxaV, gilligan) William's postings. We
don't want those.

That would be me, and no, I don't mind at all. I especially like the
third sentence above.

The registration card isn't back from the printer yet. But you'll be
the first to get one.. well, the second, anyway. Wow, to think that
somewhere, someone hung MY .sig next to Kibo's! I am truly and deeply
flattered, Patrick.

Congratulations! The update is in this very posting! Apparently, I
misspelled the word 'supersede' (Thanks to David Tamkin (dat...@ddsw1.mcs.com)
for finding this error). Seeing as how I don't currently have a German
distributor, it would be fine with me. Uh, but I hope my License Agreement
isn't _in_ the toilet... that might clog it up (Then again, it's not THAT
big).

What's amazing is that *no* one has returned the .sig. I guess that means
I can start suing when I see my .sig pop up in postings & followups,
without having given my express permission. See you in court, all you
dirty, rotten, scum-sucking .sig STEALERS!

we're west of the Mississippi, so that means most(/all) radio/tv stations
begin with a 'K' (except the ones that are grandfathered, like WBAP 820 AM
and WFAA channel 8/dallas, just for you, Resident Pedant Tamkin.)
guess what UNT's radio station is named?

another year just passed by. Isn't it really ridiculous, given the current

things to eat and when not. Nowadays you either have plenty of things to
eat or not. All the time. Thus, the celebration of the end of the year is
nothing but a propaganda trick.

AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

I had this theory, see, that these newsgroups were somehow fake, see, and all
the characters therein were generated by my local VAX system. And they'd quote
each other's posts, yeah? Like, they're all UNREAL - all those people, I mean
non-people, like xibo, Kibo, Silver, Silverano, Blair and the rest - even me
sometimes; I'm not really Qaz, I'm Nonar and I'm very unstable in this current
thing I call reality. See my theory was generated from the fact that no-one
seemed to notice my postings, however thick, wafflacious and annoying they were;
therefore I reasoned that the VAX program was a bit unintelligent, like, and
couldn't figure out how to handle a real person like me - I am a real person,
you know, I ignored myself for a whole day, and when I looked again, I was
still there, so I must be real - and it'd just ignore my postings, except to add
them to the newsgroup just so's I wouldn't cop. BUT I DID! You can't pull the
sheep's clothing over this wolf, no! I sussed it! Then YOU come along to fuck
up my theory! HA! I know your game! *THEY* copped onto my theory, they did!
They knew that I knew! So they rewrote their program to include YOU, a daft
pseudo-person who merely quotes me verbatim and then adds a random phrase! HA!
But I know! Next, it'll just quote little bits of my post to make you look more
real, but I won't be fooled! I know I'm on my own here.....

I suppose you're probably right. But, BoB damn it, why did they have to stick
me in a F***ING VAX? It probably runs F***ING VMS, the Slack-Less Operating

Okay, the wombat was cool. I admit it. And I sort of liked the fact
that you could (using the shell-command-parsing stuff) set up a switch
that was default and non-invertable, which led to the classic line in
some Caltech docs...

This switch, which is on by default, has no inverse.

Which I think you'll agree has a pleasing, slack-filled rythym.

Of course! Where else would all of us _ibos come from? You don't think
we'd actually *choose* to have a nickname resembling that bozotic
typography spewer, would you?

I prefer being an _ato myself.
Of course, since we're machine generated, it will translate to __ibo
and __ato once you get to the symbol table.

My symbol table has a red and white checked tablecloth. Does yours?

Ahem, would you mind posting it? I need some new features for my boerp

As an _mo, I am not machine generated.
I am an infinite number of monkeys with USENET access.
Because I am not machine generated, I do not have a symbol table.
But I do have a very big coffee table with an insanely large number of
bananas on it.

I'm just an _ill, yes I'm only an _ill, and I'm sitting here on
Capitol Hill...

As in "Hee-mo the Magnificent"? Ah, junior high science class...*sigh*
Personally, I preferred "Donald Duck in Mathemagicland". Perhaps it
led me to my present career.

No way - When *I'M* around there ain't no room for anything but the finite.
Besides - where did the bandwidth come from? My ass.

Well that's ok then - Pineapple flavoured I presume?

Of course not! If you would read the header, you would see that I'm a
poor college student who can't afford the luxuries of a nice tablecloth
for my symbol table. I have to make do with paper towels, old copies of
the Boston Herald, and those neat paper placemats with games and mazes
and stuff that I steal from Pizza Hut!

Hehehe, I have them all on video. (except three ring circus, good 11, and
little 12 toes) Watched them all 3 time today. 6 hours of school house rock.

William Sherman, as opposed to Sherman Williams?

What's "three ring circus"? The 3 tables were "Three is a Magic Number",
according to the soundtrack album. Or was "three ring circus" about
the electoral process?

>William Sherman, as opposed to Sherman Williams?

No, you're thinking of paint store Sherwin-Williams. Sherwin Williams
is actually the anti-WilliamSherman. He's my sworn nemesis. He's not
allowed.

I'm the guy whose parents named him after the general who burned Atlanta
down. Thanks, folks! I once asked my mom why she named me after a war
hero, and she said "What war hero?" <sound effect of my palm slapping
my forehead> "Eisenhower, who'd ya think?" Hey, at least nobody
ever calls me 'Tank'.
