Excellent. Some may say you have too much time on your hands but others
will be eternally grateful for your new initiative allowing us, too, to
demonstrate that we have too much time on our hands by AFPCoding
ourselves ;)

RISC OS (there are a few of us)
Is Unix defined as being just the 'official' System V thingy, or is it all
unixen except for Linux?
Since when was Win3.1 an OS (it requires DOS to run)
D should be extended to cover all versions of DOD
What about people using more than one OS? (I have... 3 on this box, plus at
least 2 others that I use regularly).
Can we have an all OSes suck ID as well?

Is there a newline after the a of beta? The block definition shows it but the
example just includes a space. If you were to include a newline, for most
people this would lead to a five line long block (too long for recommended
usage in a sig), even if just a space is used, this leads to a four line
block meaning that nothing but an afpcode can be put in a block.

As it happens you don't - three is always enough, and in many cases
two will suffice.
A subset of the local Cambridge gossip graph is getting plausibly
close to being K5 (i.e. five nodes all connected to each other) which
is one of the conditions for requiring three dimensions. It depends
how strong the condition for two people being connected is...

This is only about how you feel about propising. But what about being
proposed to?
I suggest:
pp++ I am Laura Johnson
pp+ I have been proposed to and dueled over
pp I have been proposed to, but nothing came of it
pp- No one ever proposed to me.
pp-- No one ever proposed to me, even after I asked them to
pp! No one has ever proposed to me, thank gods!
Well, something like this, anyway.

In these three categories, you did not take into account the *ability*
of people to buy books, attend converntions and go to signings, only
their will do to so. What about poor souls like me who would be a rabid
signing goer (and would probably buy all the hardbacks hot from the
press) but can't do it due to never having been on the same continent as
PTerry in all her life?

It might be a good idea to merge the Unix variants into a single
category with multiple subcategories. (You could do the same for the
windows variants, actually.)
e.g. U for UNIX, followed by a list of extra symbols for particular
variants:
L Linux
B4 4.4BSD-derivatives (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSDI, ...)
I Irix
H HPUX
S4 SunOS 4
S5 Solaris 2
O "Open"server
X Xenix
UW Unixware + other SVR4.2 based products
UL Ultrix
M Minix
A AIX
B Other BSD derivative
V other SysV derivative
I'm sure I've missed a few.
e.g. I'd probably show up as ULUWS4S5 (i.e. Linux, Unixware, and both
variants of SunOS).

This may be getting out of hand. In v0.2b I'm already at
OSLUW9WNM-:-. Your proposal, including Windows variants, would bring
this up to OSULIS5ULW9NM-:- or OSULIS5UL/W9N/M-:- or something like
that. Especially given that I'm OS-:- I'd really like to keep my OS

I suppose you could say that, but I still use programs I've got

Given that it's an OS wars code entry...
You should probably only put the OS you would defend the most in the war..
Eg, you have Fred User who has a Win95 partition on his machine because he
needs to use the software, and a Linux partition which he plays with and
will defend to the last in the .advocacy groups, whilst slanging '95, etc.
Then again, you could just stack them all, and if anyone's insane enough
to write a computer interpreter, sod 'em. A human should be able to work
it out. :-)

But...! it should be. :-)
After all, what is afp without pedant points?
pd+++ I have an excess of carrier bags on shelves near me, but I never
need to use them. The speed of Usenet is the only thing that stops
me getting all the points. People almost never get them when I
offer any. My nitpicking of messages is legendary.
pd++ I have a comprehensive grasp of obscure facts, and collect a fair
number of ppoints. When people make mistakes, I'm usually one of
the first to jump on them.
pd+ I've collected one or two, but that's all.
p I like to read the questions/answers, but I never get any myself.
p- The offered ppoints are ok, but being excessivly pedantic over
what people write is just silly.
p-- The whole business is silly, and a bit of a waste of time.
p--- It's elitist, a waste of time and bandwidth, and often just a
chance for people to feed their egos and show off their knowledge
of worthless information.
p? ppoint? Isn't that that poster who never uses capital letters?
(or do we need separate categories for general pedanticism and ppoint
specific..?)

Some people may have retired, for one reason or another, before
retirement age. In fact they have. There appears to be no way of

Hmm... My degree is in linguistics. Can I call it a "performing art"?
I guess I'll have to settle for "non-listed trade", although there's
no actual merchandise or heavy lifting involved. No general
"humanities" category, eh?
Well, having established that, let me now announce that I have applied
the linguistic concept of "markedness" to this code and discerned its
guidelines to being an average AFP'er.
For starters, you can't be an average AFP'er until you're thirty years
old. And once you've hit forty, you've moved on to a higher plane.
Sorry.
But during that brief decade of normalcy:
Dress for comfort. Read a few USENET newsgroups regularly, including
some -- but not all -- of afp. Buy a Psion and use it daily. Be
ambivalent about OS wars and Babylon-5. Dislike your operating system
and don't defend it, but don't switch to a different one either.
Sacrifice sleep to eat chocolate covered beans. Propose to several
people, but only let one person propose to you. Use the L-space
servers occasionally, but go on with your life if they disappear.
Enjoy reading cascades, but don't contribute to them. Buy each of
Terry's paperbacks whenever you get around to it, but make sure you
get one -- and only one -- signed. After that, stay clear of Terry at
all times. Don't attend conventions, but wish you had. Take the purity

IIRC cabbage that is cooked longer than 10 minutes is one of the only
foods that develops into a poisonous substance (literally true). The
current advice is to steam it 5 minutes and eat it crunchy. Sauce is
optional.
IMO cabbage itself is optional.

There is only one way of preparing _cooked_ cabbage the traditional
British Way (tm). It is to boil it into mush (blech!).
The only decent way to prepare cabbage is to chop it finely, add some
chopped onion and carrots, and smother in mayonnaise.
Et voila! Coleslaw! [1]

I've found that this crunchy cabbage is best complimented by just
finishing it off by flash frying it in butter with flaked almonds.
Oh and perhaps a bit of black/tropical pepper.
It almost makes it edible.

Well if Tamar is correct about cabbage that's been cooked a long time
being poisonous... 1) She'll get no argument from me about it, I've
always reckoned it was pretty lethal even cooked correctly... 2) This
explains a lot about my old school dinners... I'm sure they must have
cooked that vial mush for at least a few hours.
"What's for dinner today?" whilst looking and some pale green slop that
smells like cabbage but looks more like "Quater Mass" than any normal
cabbage has ever looked like...
Makes me come over all queesy just thinking about it. I knew they were
trying to poison us off, not I have the proof!!!!! ;o)

If that were true, my lentil soup, borsch, carowan, and chicken stew
recipies would all be toxic, unless chinese cabbages are a different
story (and the borsch uses red head cabbage, and my one chicken stew
recipie uses green head cabbage...) I use mustard cabbages and other
chinese brasicae in my stir fries (won bok, choi sum, pak choi, sui,
mizuna, kai choi)... and many of these recipies cook at least one of
the cabbages over ten minutes.

The important word is *steam* I've found it impossible to maintain
crunchiness of any degree if the cabbage is even allowed to see the

I tend to agree, there is no need to ejaculate whilst having an orgasm, the
ejaculation is probably the limiting factor in this case, replenishment of
fluid and all that. Rest assured I shall be testing this theory over the

I would doubt that (not that I`m claiming I can do more ) but I rather
think Gonzo (and I stand to be corrected of course) meant one looong
continual orgasm.... 31 days on the very cusp. Think I`d better sign off

I should mention at this time that I have refused to eat *anything*
McDonald's has produced[1]. And I was doing this well before the
whole "mad cow" thingy a few years back (much of what I've read
suggests that Merkia has been selling tainted beef to the proletariat
since the mid-80's). I ain't a veggie, I've just sworn off red meat.

what I meant. Although, now I'm thinking about it, wouldn't an orgasm
extended by 31 days tend to become a bit dull and tiresome? And
wouldn't this ruin all future encounters? "Well, how was it?" "Eh,
I've had better."
Of course, I'm surprised no one has pounced on my use of orgasm as a
way to die and the concept of the little death.

Vinegar sandwich!?
I knew someone about 10 years ago who would eat forkfulls of Marmite.
Big forkfulls from catering size jars of the stuff. Now, I like
Marmite, but not that much.

Slice of white bread, soaked in vinegar, rolled up inside another
unsoaked slice. Yummy. You can dispense with the unsoaked slice but
then you need to eat it with a fork...

Oh, yes, I like Marmite in spoonfuls. (Admittedly teaspoons rather than
dessertspoons.)

Much better to have a Mint Sauce sandwich or even a Worcestershire Sauce
sandwich (recipes almost the same as the above, guess what changes!)

But Mint Sauce is only flavoured vinegar... nice though. I like the
Wor-cester-shire option. I might try that one today.

Wow! I thought I was the only one who drunk that stuff (I've never

I can think of two worse ones off hand:
Brain Damage.. a combination of Cider, Lager, Orange Juice and Blue
Curacao.....
Black Bogies.. Bailey's Irish Cream and Coke!!
Having tried (purely for research purposes obviously) both of them, all
I can say is that I was pleasantly surprised (although I had to keep my
eyes firmly shut with the second concoction).
Funny how RL coincides with AFP on occasion.. on Friday night we were
discussing worst tasting drinks in the club wot I run.. The worst
example that I heard was Guinness and the vinegar from a jar of pickled
onions?????

In my part of the world (which happens to be a very small part, but a part
none the less), I have aquired some fame for my consumption of chocolate
spread and vinegar sandwiches.

Anything blue. I believe there is some evidence that people take an instant
dislike to eating/drinking blue things in general... this is certainly true
in regards to me and drinks... although the childhood memory of bubblegum
flavour drinks may be partially responsible.

Ok how about this one:

It tastes pretty good, but does look a little eeerm eeer different.

I once saw something called (I think) a "brain tumour", which was
vodka floated on baileys, with crème de cassis poured in to make a
red-and-white curdled yukky bit. Eeuuw.

This sounds vaguely like things called "Liquid Cocaine" over here. But
not very much.

Now *that's* called a Colorado Bulldog, here.

I forget what's involved in it, but there's something called a Cement
Mixer here, involving Baileys and then something citrus I think in
anothe glass. You're suppose to mix the two in your mouth, where the
Bailey's curdles. And then they expect you to swallow this revolting
mess. I've never understood that.

Pink Kangeroo - cider + spirits. It's bright pink tastes like
alco-ice-cream
and get you exceedingly drunk[1].
Chocolate Spider - Deep brown, tastes great..
Now- another funny that occurred during uni especally after drinking
pink
kangeroo was to dare a round of mixes- the best (worst?) was bitter and
Bailey's irish cream - as it bubbles up and curdles at the sametime and
the
result looks like a something that you find - well - rather like
attempting
to eat a block of lard, and it certainly looks real.

Ignoring all the obvious crude comments, this is nonsense; speaking both
from personal and anecdotal experience, I know that more than ten is
perfectly possible - albeit a little tiring.
Far too many things are presented as "scientifically impossible" or
"scientifically proven" - remember that it is *very* rare for science to
categorically state that something like this is impossible; unless some
fundamental law of physics or mathematics is being broken, there is
almost always a statistical likelihood of something occurring, or not
occurring. The phrase "scientifically proven" only belongs in
advertisements for detergents.

Not sure about this, but then I don't much like chocolate spread in
sandwiches. On a tangent, Tescos did Chocolate and Cointreau Sauce last
winter, which is the best variant ever. Yummy on icecream, in Kahlua
and milk, in chocolate flapjack, or just off the spoon. I'm hoping
they'll repeat it this year!

Vague memories of Tomorrow's World circa 1980. They made people eat a
meal under coloured lights, then changed the light to reveal that the
meat was violet/blue. No one could eat any more of it...
