I am not a yahoo. I am not a yahoo. If I repeat this enough
times, maybe you'll believe me.
Actually, I received a very nice reply from the Bungie folk--by
email, no less--granting me the serene bliss of passwords and gooshy Pfhor

Ahem.

Yep. Probably a lutefisk or two as well.

Well, I'm not the lutefisk expert. Is it possible to make
lutefisk out of canal carp? Err... and if so, would anybody want to eat
it? I wouldn't feed the canal carp to the Battlecat, even after priming
him with a few bottles of fuel-grade alcohol.
(On an off-topic note, how can I kitbash tin, running on a SunOS
system, to obscure my name, email address, and all the rest of that
doodie? Two messages on this newsgroup and I'm already drowning in more

I think it's traditionally cod. Can't think of another fish that done
anything to deserve that treatment, although I suppose it's possible.

You can make lutefisk out of just about anything with fins.

Let's just say that it was one _hungry_ viking who first tried the stuff.

Simple. Use an email address that points to a spam-trap email account
(did someone say Hotmail?) instead of your 'home' account, or (if you
have the option), a secondary account you can check periodically to
tune your filters.
I'd also suggest ditching your current email. Once you get on those
lists, you don't get off them.

Herring is traditional, I think. Been a long time since anyone tried
to get me to eat any. One sniff, and the response was _no_.

Hmm.. dunno. Lutefisk is usually made of cod or saithe, or related types
of fish. I don't think carps would count.

Depends how successful it is. Mind you, I've been told that carps have
bones all over the place, so I might not be interested in it anyway.

Maybe he'd rather have lutefisk made from tunnel carps? ;)

Simple. Put "NOSPAM" or some such thing in your email address when posting
on a newsgroup, and surf with Java and Javascript turned off. I hardly get
any spam anymore. In fact, the only spam I get are the "MAKE MONEY FAST"
postings on various newsgroups and the banners on various websites.

Any cod fish will do. Cod and saithe being the most commonly used ones (I
think).

There's probably some really vile chemistry going on here. After
my first serious bout with Marathon 2, swimming through the sludge and
having to punch out those everlovin' Flick'ta, I imagined that this is
what lutecarp must be like. Well, except that they'd be smaller, but much
tougher. The sludge was a bit too runny to be proper canal water,
granted, but that's just a technicality.

One of the local urban legends has to do with a person that fed
beer to his own cat. The cat proceeded to act in a distinctly
uncoordinated way, bumping into walls, falling off ledges, and so forth.
So... well, uncoordinated Battlecat posts? I had a point there somewhere,
but I think I misplaced it. Gack!

My problem, actually, stems from using a 1991 version of tin; it
works just fine, but was built in an ideal universe. It was plaguing me
endlessly, looking through .tinrc directory, that I couldn't find any
entry I could crack open. I am, already, looking for a more recent
release of the program, and then I shall be truly content (subject to
appropriate levels of dramatic overstatement, of course).
And for now, I'll try this:

No, no, no! Doing so merely bothers legitimate users, and doesn't really
help curtail spam *that* much. If you really want to cut down, use
<http://spamcop.net>. If you paste in an e-mail with the full headers, it
will parse it, find out where it came from, and automatically generate a

decrease within two weeks of when you start using it extensively.

Well, a friend of mine had his cat accidently lick up rests of speed(uh,
maybe I shouldn't be telling this in public, should I?) from his kitchen
table. He sure had a very disturbing cat for the rest of the day.

Heh. Reminds me of a friend who "accidently" let his cat into a hotbox party.
Poor little critter sat in the toilet for several hours just sort of mewling

Just a clarification: a 'Spam Trap' is a *real* account, not a garbage
address.
note my :from line and my sig, see if you can figure out which is which-
but a message to either of them will get to me.

I have a shed in the back yard.
In the shed is my motorcycle, and a fine asortment of tools; many with
sharp, glinty edges.
I have a *special* tool for use on people who do shit like that to their pets.
It also cuts trees down pretty well.

You too huh? No wonder they call us motorcyclists a bunch of subversive,

BTW, do you use that same tool on door to door salesmen and debt

Y'see, it's not that it's gross... err, I mean, it *is* gross, but
it's not that it's gross so much as there's something inherently
indestructible about the canal carp.
Observe the canal water here: It is brown and has sludgelike
qualities. It sticks to things and doesn't come off. Dogs dive in and
never come back out. Many people sink their boats just as soon as they
get off the canal, because the sludge is so thick, it could float
colanders without problem.
I try to relate canal carp to flick'ta (also to stay on topic)--I
know they live in that goo, because I've seen them when they deign to
float near the surface. They somehow not only live in it, but *thrive*,
which suggests to me that they're more resilient than cockroaches. They
probably laugh at such conditions like stomachs, thinking, "What, stomach
acid? Paugh! Back in my day, we had canal sludge to live in, and we
liked it!"
So maybe they'd be like (he says, to stay on topic) Flick'ta with
Hunter armour, except without the funky shoulder cannon. Or maybe with
the shoulder cannon, only I haven't seen one yet.
By the way, what *is* a hotbox party? It sounds like an
absolutely smashing great excuse to play a little Street Polo.

The tool(s) are also good to take on those city rides just
in case. Especially when a yup in a SUV tries to lane share,
just tap on the window a couple of times and they always back

Good. Come over here. You've got a lot of work in my neighbourhood. I

Gary L. Simmons
Oh criminy, you had me worried for a second. ::taking the canal carp from
behind my back:: (munch munch) Sounds like you have the start of the recipe
for some down home Lh'owon lutefisk to me:
Take one dew kissed F'lickta, lightly kill, then soak it in farm fresh
plumber's lye until it has doubled in size and may easily be pierced with a
S'pht card. While it is soaking, find a Hunter (the MOAH is quite unsuitable
for Lh'owon lutefisk) and gently render him a soft death, you don't want to
bruise the armor. You will have to remove the Hunter's armor, it has an
attachment just below the shoulder blades. An experienced Marathoner can
reach around behind and unfasten a Hunter's armor with one hand, you newbies
out there will find your selves fumbling with the little hook and will have to
use two hands and maybe break the damn thing. Discard the contents. Remove
the shoulder mounted cannon using Rigger's Tool™ (Beemer Dan has a backup in
case you drop it down the muzzle). Also remove the armor's bat ears, arm
shields and cod piece. Cram the dead swollen F'lickta into the armor and
place the F'lickta in a dusty, windy location to dry completely in the Lh'owon
sun. When fully cured, a finger will break rather than bend, store in a cool
dry location.

Speaking of F'lickta, those things remind me an awful lot of that monster
in the B-flick, "The She-Creature". Or maybe it was a C-flick?
