What the hell...
Mark Gallagher
cesium *was* cesium. The chickens liked it, too. Ah, chickens,
yes, those were the days. There was George, and Henrietta, and,
and Topsy, too. Cute as hell, they were. Really broke my heart
when i HAD TO WRING THEIR SCRAWNY NECKS, ahem, excuse me, well,
we were hungry, and we were sick of beef. "Dad," we said, "we're
sick of beef. Can we have something different tonight for dinner?"
"Well, you could always kill your mother's pet chickens," he replied.
How were we to know he was joking?!? But, boy, did he catch it from
mum when she found out he'd told us to kill them...
Anyway, I digress. The reason I'm posting this letter is because I'd
like to know how many people actually read this group. Okay? How
about including you're favourite group, as well, e.g.

By the way, does anyone have a copy of the Ars Magica supplement
Maleficium that they'd be willing to sell?
Or perhaps a second-hand hampster?

is alt.TOPOL. Okay, so it isn't. alt.TOPOL doesn't really exist.
But, wouldn't it be cool if it did?
Topol, for those of you who don't know, is the mythical patron of
Village Idiots and Elements with Atomic Number greater than 27. I think that
includes cesium, but I'm not sure. Topol has been known to every culture and
generation; the Babylonians referred to him as "A Smoker's Toothpaste", which
means Topol in english but absolutely nothing in ancient Babylonian. On his
festival day, once a year, all the cobblers in the village would finally get
to wear their tweed socks, which were created for exactly that purpose.
My actual favorite newsgroup is alt.cesium, by default. You see, I
have a kill file which automatically unsubscribes any newsgroup that doesn't
begin with 'c'. I don't know why, but I'm suspecting that it's divine
punishment for something I did in a past life.
While we're on the subject, I really like Cesium Lollypops. I'd say that
they're a real taste explosion. I also like big, huge piles of paper clips
lying around all over the place. I think that it gives my house that nice,
big piles of paper clips all over the place, kind of feel.
Well, I think that this talk has helped a lot, and I'll be sure to
mention you all at my next therapy session. MegaChunga, dashi.

Humph...and I thought alt.topol would be about the smoker's toothpaste.

Him i read the cesium newsgroup too -
my favourite group is de.soc.verkehr
(it's a German newsgroup: verkehr = traffic de = Germany)
the discussions, arguments, flames there are sometimes more intensive
than these in soc.culture.bosna-herzegovina.

cesium is very important to me. when i was in the fifth grade, my two
best friends (eugene and sonny) and i would sit around in the grass on
warm summer nights and talk about how great it would be if we could get
some cesium (we pronounced it "cessium", since we had only read about
it). we thought it would be great to toss a chunk of cesium into some
aqua regia, or maybe fuming sulfuric acid, "just to see what would
happen". then, the most mature one among us (sixth grade) started
telling stories about the moon, and how it was inhabited by naked women
and how, if we visited there, we would be the first "men" they had ever
seen, and how they would try all sorts of things with us. this made
our little dicks hard, and we forgot about cesium. now that i'm old
and have done all those sorts of things, i find my thoughts returning
more and more to what's really important in life: cesium.
> How about including you're favourite group, as well
how about a group of 14-year old girls in pony tails standing around
wearing nothing but black velvet choker cameo necklaces and platform
shoes and covered with vaseline from the neck down to the ankles? in
the future, this will be commonplace, but not before i'm dead. that's
about the best i can do, aside from, of course, cesium.

I went out with Cesium. 2 or 3 times, in fact. But, upon meeting
big sister, that is.......FRANCIUM, I fell. And Hard.

And what about Cesium's friend/sidekick, Sodium? She tries
so hard to be like her, what with the water problem and all...
Really, though, Sodium's just a softie (she's like "buwttah"!), at
least when she's not hanging on to her beau, Mr. Chloride...
