me, and some of you who I don't know might know me, because I've
forgotten you. Yes.
I'm checking in, just seeing the interesting threads, and here are my
opinions on things in general:
-The new Sailor Moon eps on Cartoon Network are alright. The voices
aren't the same as I had become used to, but I can cope.
-My Windows desktop (Don't see how you people deal with having your
icons all over the place)
http://home.earthlink.net/~atokata/desktop.jpg
-FF4, Good, in the same way that vintage art deco ashtray is.
FF5, Good, in the same way that an organized bookcase is.
FF6, Good, in the same way that a Mozart concerto is.
FF7, Good, in the same way that a Dean Koontz book is.
FF8.... has its moments.
-Online gaming: I'm sure it's a good idea, and if I ever get
broadband, I'm sure I'll like it.
-Eyeglazer's story: I've been keeping up with this. I like it.
-AGFF people: Someone once said that there are only 10,000 intelligent
humans in the world, and the rest of them are just trainable animals.
This is a true statement.
-The list of ways to be obnoxious on Usenet was quite funny. I dig
that.
-Napster is what it is. Everyone do a search for the song "In the Hour
of Not Quite Rain" by Buffalo Springfield. I'm doing a study on how
fast mp3s are disbursed over the net.
-Autoplaying MIDI webpages: The control should be in a place where it
is easily accessible, and the midi should be a pleasant ambient sound,
nothing too bouncy, cheerful, or loud. People who embed mp3s should
die.
-Atma is Harold Lauder: I like the Stand ref. And King refs are
excellent.
-PC ports of Playstation games are disgraceful, and should be avoided
in conversation as well as actual play at all costs.
-Not only is rock dead, but it has been since around 1978. Modern
music is created in laboratories by venture capitalists, for maximum
marketability with a minimum of characteristics that could be viewed
as offensive (if you offend a customer, they aren't repeat buyers.) To
this end, I offer proof: Everyone listen to the Jethro Tull song
"Thick as a Brick", and then listen to something by the Backstreet
Boys.

-The democrats and republicans are basically the same.
-Hewlett Packard, Compaq, and Gateway all manufacture second rate PCs.
-Sex, Violence, Drugs, and all the baser parts of human nature make

Listen to Eminem. How 'bout that for non-offensive?
By the way, Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, Britney Spears, Christina
whatshername, and all them fall under the category of "music
everyone hates, but mysteriously makes a profit".
>-I've got a girlfriend who's totally awesome.
Blah. Females are completely beyond my field of understanding.
>-I've been playing Grandia and Vagrant Story recently
I've been playing Final Fantasy Tactics, Front Mission 3, and
Vagrant Story. Haven't finished any of them, and I need to get
Legend of Mana, Legend of Dragoon, and Chrono Cross whenever it's
released. Feh.
>-Unreal Tournament is better than Quake III, although Quake III does

Unreal Tournament is almost exactly like Quake 3, except more
team-oriented.

Most languages are. Or at least, they seem to be.

It annoys me to no end when people order "expresso" at a coffee

Didn't you just fuck the study over by posting this? Or are you

I find one hole in this arguement (that I'm willing to get
into): Since when are the Backstreet Boys considered rock?
And my rebuttal: Anything by Ben Folds Five (yes, I'm a blind,
slavish fanboy.)

Not in this post. But you may have in the last one. Which means

Please define a first-rate PC. Try to take into account the fact

The Bible has sex, drugs, and other fun stuff. It's just a bitch
to read. But what am I saying? I hate Shakespeare.

Math is an illusion. Science doesn't exist.

¥-Autoplaying MIDI webpages: The control should be in a place where it
¥is easily accessible, and the midi should be a pleasant ambient sound,
¥nothing too bouncy, cheerful, or loud. People who embed mp3s should
¥die.
HEY! I want embed mp3!
¥-Atma is Harold Lauder: I like the Stand ref. And King refs are
¥excellent.
¥
¥-PC ports of Playstation games are disgraceful, and should be avoided
¥in conversation as well as actual play at all costs.
BULLSHIT. All games should be made for the PC!
¥-Not only is rock dead, but it has been since around 1978. Modern
¥music is created in laboratories by venture capitalists, for maximum
¥marketability with a minimum of characteristics that could be viewed
¥as offensive (if you offend a customer, they aren't repeat buyers.) To
¥this end, I offer proof: Everyone listen to the Jethro Tull song
¥"Thick as a Brick", and then listen to something by the Backstreet
¥Boys.
¥
¥-L. Ron Hubbard is as bad as Joseph Smith.
Who is Joseph Smith?
¥
¥:::::::::That's it for things that I felt needed to be said, moving on....::::::::
¥
¥
¥-I moved from where I was to where I am now.
¥
¥-I've got a girlfriend who's totally awesome.
¥
¥-I've developed a taste for Yahoo hearts.
¥
¥-I've been playing Grandia and Vagrant Story recently
¥
¥-I read ten books by David Eddings. He's excellent. I recommend him.
¥
¥-I read "The Regulators" by Richard Bachman, which was also excellent.
¥
¥-Did I mention I have a great girlfriend?
¥
¥-I switched to Earthlink for the free camera. Their news server
¥carries a lot more pornographic groups than my old ISP.
How is their binary newsgroups? good? or is it as bad as I last left them?
¥-I had a job at an ISP, doing tech support, but I quit because they
¥wouldn't give me time off to see my dying grandmother. That job
¥sucked, because people are generally stupid, and if they can't have a
¥step by step walkthrough of double clicking an icon every day, then
¥they assume that you're just not helping them.
I thought thats your right?
¥
¥::::::::Things that you should know, but aren't currently being discussed.::::::::
¥
¥
¥-Unreal Tournament is better than Quake III, although Quake III does
¥have excellent graphics. I'm hoping Half Life II will use the Q3
¥engine, as the first HL game did with Quake2's.
Doom II 4ever
¥-Despite all the controversy, you're still using Windows, aren't you?
¥So Ha.
I like WIndows.
¥-AOL is the tool of the devil. It's the only Internet service I've
¥ever seen that refuses to use the Dial-up adapter. What the fuck is
¥with that?
AOL is the internet, haven't you heard? ;-)
¥-Despite all the controversy, people still like using Apache on Linux
¥for servers. This pleases me. Long live perl.
Linux software design are designed to be unusablely hard, I have still yet
to figure out why....
¥-Emulators and roms are one of the more fun means of software piracy,
¥and should be used as often as possible.
How about warez game release?
¥-Tequila should not be consumed for breakfast, no matter how macho it
¥makes you seem.
What is Tequila?
¥
¥:::::::Things that just are:::::::::
¥
¥
¥-Bob Dylan, Kurt Vonnegut, and Sam Neill are all good at their chosen
¥professions. Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong and stupid and
¥should be beaten with blunt objects until they can see the light of
¥reason and clarity.
¥
¥-The media is sexist, racist, and biased.
I agree.
¥-The democrats and republicans are basically the same.
Well, the republicans wants a bigger government, the democrates wants an
even bigger governament...
¥-Hewlett Packard, Compaq, and Gateway all manufacture second rate PCs.
Slef assambled are the best.
¥-Sex, Violence, Drugs, and all the baser parts of human nature make
¥intriguing plotlines. I mean, seriously, has anyone been able to read
¥the New Testament and not fall asleep? Fucks' sake, find something
¥entertaining, like a Reginald Hill mystery, or watch the Sopranos.
¥People are drawn to depictions of baseness because it allows their Ids
¥to exercised vicariously. If we were all priests, the race would have
¥died out in the dark ages.
¥
¥-Gun Control: It's not how you shoot, it's _who_ you shoot.
¥
¥-Masturbation is addictive as crack cocaine, and much cheaper.
¥
¥-The universe is too complex to be expressed with our concept of math.
¥Physics majors are just kidding themselves.
You are wrong.
¥-CS: It's a dirty, awful, boring, tedious, painful job, but the people
¥who do it get all the reward they'll ever need when their positions
¥are outsourced to India.
Indians are people too you know?
¥-Long live the non-ergonomic keyboard!
¥
¥-Nihongo is a more elegant language than English.
Nah, English is rather good for its job. Ever heard Swedish? That is
amazing...
¥-When people fry chicken, they save the grease in a coffee can in the
¥back of the fridge. This from the same folks who brought us anthrax,
¥botchulism, and the black death.
¥
¥-Speaking of refrigerators, don't you just hate when someone has put
¥leftover gravy in an opaque cream cheese container, so when you open
¥it you find a congealed lump of animal fat instead of a congealed lump
¥of milk fat?
¥
¥-Speaking of Nihon also, I prefer sushi to American food. My ulcer,
¥Thor, agrees.
...
I have no preferance for food except good food.
¥-I can't hardly drink coffee anymore, due to Thor, so when I do I
¥usually fill up a mug with espresso (there's no fucking X in that
¥word, to all the illiterate heathens who have spelled it with one). I
¥don't really get strung out on caffeine, but I have to say that about
¥10 ounces of espresso is enough to cause my ears to ring. Probably a
¥side effect of neurological damage.
¥
¥
¥AT ANY rate, this was my semi-annual check in with AGFF. Insofar as
¥it's still here, I am relieved. I worry that one of these days I'll
¥try to download usenet headers and find a message saying, "Usenet is
¥now a wholly owned subsidy of the GO network, a subsidy of AOL."
¥
¥So, until next time, I bid you all adieu, and happy newsgrouping.
No you don't.

Don't be humble, you are not all that great
Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once
eccentric. -Bertrand Russell
Education would be much more effective if its purpose was to ensure that by
the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they do not
know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it. -Sir William Haley
The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its

A wise man may look ridiculous in the company of fools.
The more corrupt a society, the more numerous its laws.

Where navigation is concerned, things have changed radically since the days

::General Quotes::
------------------
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists
in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the
unreasonable man. -George Bernard Shaw
-I will choose what enters me, what becomes flesh of my flesh.
-Without choice, no politics, no ethics lives.
-I am not your cornfield, not your uranium mine, not your calf for
fattening, not your cow for milking. You may not use me as your factory.
-Priests and legislators do not hold shares in my womb or my mind.
-This is my body. If I give it to you I want it back.
-My life is a non-negotiable demand. -Marge Piercy
To expect the world to treat you fairly because you're a good person,
is like expecting a bull not to charge you because you're a vegetarian.
Don't even trust the people in your own newsgroup? The patheticness of
this newsgroup is unbearable. I trust the people in my newsgroup as a
second family. You people are pathetic, kill yourselves now and do us
all a favor. -Funkidelic, Slayer of AGFFRPG
Your concepts of nettiquette and decency are not the only concepts of
nettiquette and decency. What you believe is nettiquette others believe
is draconian. What you believe is decency, others believe is censorship.
What one person considers to be appropriate for a group, another person
may not. Therefore, control of a user's activities based on their
appropriateness in a group is unreasonable. Further, to do so would
invoke the biases of the controller and that is also unreasonable.

There are several scientific reasons explaining why Trolls are found
breeding in AGFF:
1. pH - The pH in AGFF is optimum for troll growth.
2. Moisture requirements are adequate for troll-larval growth.
3. Nutrient Content - chock full of newbies, high in protein and
essential vitamins, for proper troll development.
4. The Troll reproductive cycle. Large amounts of offspring to
counterbalance the amount that do not survive to adulthood.
5. Insufficient biological, chemical or other control of the Troll
infestation. -Justin Sueno <361dd2d8...@news.aloha.net>

I saw this thing once about Bob Dylan's son making music, it went something
like:
Bob Dylan: Son, your music stinks.
Bob's Son: Dad, you just don't understand the true inner meaning.
Bob Dylan: Fuck you, I'm Bob Dylan, I know when music sucks and your music?
It sucks.

ICQ: 13225676
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip.
After a good meal and a bottle of wine, they lay down for the
night and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his
faithful friend.
"Watson, look up and tell me what you see."
Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?"
Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me
that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions
of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.
Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a
quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all
powerful and that we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a
beautiful day tomorrow. Why, what does it tell YOU?"
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke.
"Watson, you idiot. Some jerk has stolen our tent."

immensely evil organization of annihilistic psychics hell bent on
killing me and destroying humanity, Dr. Frezza." But usually I just
say I slept in, yeah."

the other one was. It was the same AIM log."

"I hate ex-AOL'ers. They expect everything to be JUST like AOL, and
either threaten to sue or want to change providers when they find
out otherwise.
I just got a call today from a woman who didn't know what a modem was,
or that you needed it to go online. When I informed her nicely of

didn't require the use of a 'modem.'"

is not funny."

"Lobby? I'm forced to wait in the lobby? No, sir. I must

- Slipgate to me on Aim. Disturbing, no?

the bag the cookies come in has a large picture of the cookie on it.
In little tiny letters next to it, it says, 'enlarged to show texture.'
I couldn't help but conclude that this should have been written on
Tifa's breasts."
- Cunnilingus Breath
"If I meet the guy who's ideal woman is 400 pounds, seventy years old,

"Sarcasm overload, switching to backup boosters...."

"Tomorrow, freedom disappears at 8:10 AM...
But can I mourn, knowing all along that this day would
eventually come?
The day where freedom, love, and career, are eradicated and
destroyed, money becomes a myth once again as does such
luxuries as sleep, personal life, or personal art.
All for 'Education'.
Can I mourn?
Oh, but I do. Such sadness fills me, for education steals
away the hearts of the strongest men, steals away their
will and their dreams, makes little more than painted puppets
of a system known to cause more pain and loss than career
and success.
I mourn. As I mourn for my dead grandmother, and for the
sensibilities of early man.
I mourn."
- Falimortalis.

"Don't you love those ads on TV for prescription drugs? First
you see all these happy people dancing and running on the beach and serving
each other Jell-O, when the announcer tells you how you've been living a lie
and it's time to admit that you suffer from hair loss and that as a direct
result of your hair loss, everyone hates you, including all the people in
this commercial,who have hired the cast of Resivior Dogs to kill you.
And then, as the happy people eat thier Jell-O and hug thier damn babies, we
learn how we can get this incredible drug that will end all hair loss and
give your pathetic excuse for an exsitence a shred of meaning once again.
And at this point we see the happy people collecting seashells, discovering
cures for cancer, single-handedly defeating entire professional basketball
teams in a game of HORSE, etc. All to distract you as the announcer says, in
as happy a way possible
that, "Roxinabletricleminoxideltaclepikachumandrexamine may cause vomiting,
impotence, spontanous combustion, diariaha so potent that the force of your
farts will propel you across rooms, civil war, the cancellation of The
Practice, your ass to collapse, any children that you may ever have to
de-evolve into vicious baboons upon contact with the Earth's atmosphere, a
career boost for Charlie Sheen, certain death for you and everyone you know,
an ABBA reunion tour, and some mild headaches. If you are ever planning to
come in contact with any other living creature ever again please do not take
this product."
And then the happy people, still giddy after saving the earth from the alien
forces, all wave at you and the announcer reminds you that they'll never
like you unless you have hair."
- Wyvern.

"Yes. Those are the ones where you live to see the next save point,
and when you finally look up at the clock, you see it's 4:00 AM, so
you say, "But I've got to finish this next quest.. I can't have that
much more to do..." but then there are sidequests. The character who
you have to have with you to get to see the General is cut off from
the rest of the party. His love interest gets a terrible illness. You
have to find a cure. The world rearranges. Baal unleases Gaia. You
know, shit happens.
And, the next thing you know, you haven't slept for three days, you
can't see anymore, and you're still wandering around that one damn
labrynthine cave, looking for a treasure chest that may not even be
there, because you can't remember what the NPC said exactly that lead
you to the point where you're at. And then you run into one of those
damn Evil Oscars, and you haven't saved for three hours. He puts all
your guys to sleep, poisons them, imps them, and confuses them. They
kill each other.
You say, 'Fuck this.' And don't play that game for two months.
And this, my friend, is why RPGers always are a little different. <twitch, twitch>"

"Two houses on my street are having a war. One of them lives down on the
corner of the street, the other lives next to my neighbor, Bob G. They are
always dressed up in camouflage and are carrying guns around the street.
Sometimes I see tanks and hummers driving down the street, and some days
there's dead people lying on the side of the road. It's been a bloody
battle, neither side is showing any signs of backing down. I think the war
started when the Nelsons didn't invite the Smiths to their block party last
spring and the following Monday Mr. Smith threw a grenade at the Nelson's
son as he was getting off the school bus. He missed and just blew up the
bus, but the Nelsons got the message. Ever since then the streets have been
filled with the sound of gunfire. Both families have been calling in other
family members/troops from all over the country. They've built large armies.
The Reynolds (another family on my street) joined the war a few months back,
but they were all killed when The Smiths burned their house down. Mr.
Reynolds survived, but I ran him over a few days later when I tried to dodge
a squirrel. I ended up hitting the squirrel anyway."

"Below is a true story about a recent wedding that took place at Clemson.
This was a huge wedding with about 300 guests. After the wedding at the
reception, the groom got up on stage at the microphone to talk to the crowd.
He said that he wanted to thank everyone for coming, many from long
distances, to support them at their wedding. He especially wanted to thank
the bride's and groom's families for coming and to thank his new
father-in-law for providing such a fabulous reception. To thank everyone for
coming and bringing gifts and everything, he said he wanted to give everyone
a special gift from just him. So he taped to the bottom of everyone's chair
was a manila envelope including the wedding party. He said that was his gift
to everyone, and told everyone to open the envelopes. Inside each manila
envelope was a 8x10 picture of his best man having sex with the bride. (He
had gotten suspicious of the two of them and hired a private detective to
trail them weeks prior to the wedding.) After he stood there and watched the
people's reactions for a couple of minutes, he turned to the best man and
said "Fuck you," he turned to the bride and said "Fuck you," and then he
turned to the dumbfounded crowd and said "I'm out of here." He had the
marriage annulled first thing that Monday morning. While most of us would
have broken off the engagement immediately after finding out about the
affair, this guy goes through with it anyway as if nothing was wrong.
His revenge:
1) Making the bride's parents pay over $32,000 for a 300 guest wedding and
reception.
2) Letting everyone know exactly what did happen.
3) And best of all, trashing the bride's and best man's reputations in front
of all of their friends, their entire families
i.e. their parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, nieces and nephews,etc.
This guy has balls the size of church bells."

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I websurfed, weak and weary,
..Over many a strange and spurious website of 'hot chicks galore',

"In the beginning, Man created God, and in the image of Man
created He Him.
And Man gave unto God a multitude of names, that he might be
Lord over all the earth when it was suited to Man.
And on the seven millionth day Man rested and leaned heavily
upon his God and saw that it was good.
And Man formed Aqualung of the dust of the ground, and a
host of others likened unto his kind.
And these lesser men Man did cast into the void. And some were
burned; and some were put apart from their kind.
And Man became the God that he had created and with his
miracles did rule over all the earth.
But as all these things did come to pass, the Spirit that
did cause Man to create his God lived on within all men; even
within Aqualung.
And Man saw it not.
But for Christ's sake he'd better start looking."

"I was told today that I should be happy, because I am
finally entering the real world. I am 18 and leaving
highschool for this real world.
Well I have a few things to say to all of you about to
go out into the real world.
To all of you that have ever held a friends head as they
threw up the three bottles of pills they had just swallowed.
To all of you who have ever been woken up at 3 in the
morning by a friend calling you hysterically crying to
tell you that another friend had just been killed in a car
crash.
To all of you that have kept the dirty secret of your what
your father did to you when you were only 5.
To all of you that have spent an entire night studying for
a test becuase you knew that if you failed it you would be
held back a year.
To all of you that have sat with a gun against your temple
wishing you had a friend.
To all of you who have laid on the ground while a group of
people soruonded you to kick you until your arm and three
ribs were broken.
To all of you who have sat frozen in place as a teenager
with a gun shot those around you.
To all of you that have pulled your newspaper blanket around
you in the cold of the night wishing you had a home to sleep in.
To all of you who spent agnozing days of your lives trying
to kick your heroin habit, only to fail again.
To all of you that have just sat down to cry as you realised
that the world was against you.
To all of you that have stood in front of the abortion clinic
trying to decide.
To all of you that have watched a smart creative person hide
there mind for fear of being insulted and degraded by there peers.
To all of you that have known that you have a monster lurking
in your soul and have fought to quell its hunger.
To all of you that have walked up to the casket of the person
whose life you stole by sitting behind the wheel of that car drunk.
To all of you that have watched your father waste away from the
cancer that infested him.
To all of you that have been held down while the guy you thought
you could trust raped you.
To all of you that have worn sunglasses to hide the bruises
your mom left on you for not cleaning your room.
To all of you that have pulled a half eaten penut butter and
jelly sandwich from the garbage becuase it was the first thing
you had seen to eat in three days.
To all of you I say:
Our simple carefree lives of children are over."

"This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch,
the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing
without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by
profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and
you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us
criminals. We exist without skin colour, without nationality, without
religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs,
you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us
believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that

Neo Atma: True

Eyeglazer: Goodnight. If you see Kathy, don't tell her I
got my system together again. :P I want to tell
her myself.
A Lonely Hill: Okay
A Lonely Hill: Why, though? O_o
Eyeglazer: Because it will disturb her mightily when I start
screeching at her like I did at you when I finally
got my last driver set up. ;)
A Lonely Hill: ....
A Lonely Hill: And you want to disturb the love of your life? O_o
Eyeglazer: <adjusts tie> They don't call me the Evil
One for nothing. ;)
A Lonely Hill: ....Man, you really live up to your name.
Eyeglazer: Think of it this way. I'm eviller to my friends
than I am to my enemies. Imagine how much eviller
I am to my lover. ;)
A Lonely Hill: Was I the first one to call you that? I
think so, but I can't remember.
Eyeglazer: Yep. You were. And damn did I take it to heart. ;)
A Lonely Hill: Damn. Why did I do that? O_o
Eyeglazer: <evil voice> You created me, Gregory Cook.....
-------------------------
Dave G.: True. I mean, it really makes you appreciate your
family when you hear about other people's, doesn't it?
Eyeglazer: Err...well, no. ;)
Eyeglazer: It just makes me more convinced that relatives
are evil. <nods>
Dave G.: Oh. Yeah, that's better. ;-)
-------------------------
Slipgates: it's trying to download components and never
succeeding in getting them anyways
Eyeglazer: Heh.
Eyeglazer: Apply plastic explosives and heat until dead.
Slipgates: you always know how to be disturbing, doincha?
Eyeglazer: ....Slip! PKB, man! ;)
-------------------------
Neo Atma Weapon: Haha yeah I know the
feeling... Half the time I write shit,
someone thinks I stole an idea or title
from somewhere, but I didn't
Eyeglazer: Happens to everyone; the
chances of coming up with an idea that
has never been used anywhere are virtually
nil.
Neo Atma Weapon: Pretty much yeah
Neo Atma Weapon: For normal people, anyway.
For AGFFers, the chance is much higher, as
we have sick and demented minds to think up
shit normal people wouldn't.
Eyeglazer: This is true. ;)
-------------------------
Eyeglazer: Evil evil evil...evil...evil...evil...evil....
John007Z: Why yes, I am. Why do you ask?
Eyeglazer: Evil...evil...
John007Z: Um... Did you forget your Prozac this
morning or something?
Eyeglazer: E...v...i...l.....
John007Z: Yes, sir, excellent choice. Would you
like your evil rare or medium well?
Eyeglazer: Evil...evil...
John007Z: I see. Well, now, we have an excellent
selection of wines to go with your evil. Would you
like red or white wine? I believe red goes best
with rare evil.
Eyeglazer: Evil...
John007Z: And now for dessert. Care to order dessert
in advance, sir?
Eyeglazer: <nods> Evil.
John007Z: All right then. We have a wonderful side
order of evil pie over here....
Eyeglazer: How evil...?
John007Z: Oh, extremely evil, sir.

Wisdom of the Regs:

"One person will invent loneliness, two people will invent love, and
three people will invent war."
- Dave G.
"AIM carefully so no one gets hurt."
- Shirlene.
"Everything a person experiences affects the thinking of that person.
Some are affected to a greater degree than others. The logical
extention of this is that we should all go to sensory deprevation
tanks to live life as isolated as possible so as to not have our minds
further polluted by stimulus."
- Neal Wilson.
"Then there's the concept of 'fun.' What is the ultimate goal in
life? Who the hell knows? But it's almost universally known that it's
better to have fun on the way to that goal than to worry about 'passing
the game' your whole life. And what's more fun than taking the universe,
saying 'bugger to you' and making a game out of it? It'll make, say,
math homework, a hell of a lot easier to stomach."
- Excerpt from Charon's AGFFU contribution.
"There is no greater tragedy than a person who does not care."
- Rubi.
"It would be foolish to not take it, and foolish to take it. The
difference is that one foolishness can be fixed later and the other
cannot."
- Slipgate.
"But there will be a dawn eventually, and the next day will
begin - hopefully, a day whose brightness helps soften the
darkness of the previous night. But the dawn will certainly
never come if you choose to inflict on yourself the night
eternal that is death."
- Saint Kain, on suicide.
"Yet in nearly every case, there is somewhere to look for the path
to the beam of sunlight that pierces the clouds hanging over a
life of misery. And if we only think to look for that sunlight,
sooner or later we'll find it."

- Atma
"We travel through this life alone, down a winding path. From
beginning to end, nothing is the same, yet at once everything is.
Though we may travel only a short distance together on our seperate
paths, I cherish every moment, and hope that the next turn finds us
together once again."
- James Anderson, Laughing Vigilante.
"Present first, future second, past third."
- Saint Kain.
"I am free of the past more than I have been in many a year, my
good man. And it is a feeling like no other. The past is a
wonderful thing to draw upon for experience, for memories...
for nostalgia, even, at times. But you cannot let it dominate
the present. I have, for far too long. No more. No damned more."
- Greg Cook.
"I would salute an American flag with 13 stars, as it started,

"Because.... if we consider the smallest extension of the base field
containing all of the roots of the equation and consider the
automorphisms on the extension leaving the base field fixed, then they
form a group which is not solvable - that is, there does not exist a

United Foundation of Nerds, was seen on Tue, 20 Jun 2000 09:32:00 GMT posting
this, claiming it to be the 'truth':
}Hello, all. I know some of you, some of you who I know have forgotten
}me, and some of you who I don't know might know me, because I've
}forgotten you. Yes.
Now how can you forget someone as lovable and marketable as lil' ol me? Wait, a
random word just popped into my head... "Care Bears"? Huh... wonder what THAT
was about...
}I'm checking in, just seeing the interesting threads, and here are my
}opinions on things in general:
Opinion is irrelevant. You will be laughed at and then assimilated.
}-The new Sailor Moon eps on Cartoon Network are alright. The voices
}aren't the same as I had become used to, but I can cope.
Rrgh... Not near Erie... no Cartoon Network or Sci-Fi...
}-My Windows desktop (Don't see how you people deal with having your
}icons all over the place)
}http://home.earthlink.net/~atokata/desktop.jpg
Nobody wants to see my desktop. 'Cause I don't wanna see it.
}-FF4, Good, in the same way that vintage art deco ashtray is.
...Nostalgia...
} FF5, Good, in the same way that an organized bookcase is.
...completeness...
} FF6, Good, in the same way that a Mozart concerto is.
...music...
} FF7, Good, in the same way that a Dean Koontz book is.
...story...
} FF8.... has its moments.
...you despised this. Geez, too easy. ^_^
}-Online gaming: I'm sure it's a good idea, and if I ever get
}broadband, I'm sure I'll like it.
Get a DC and Chu-Chu Rocket. Online gaming at it's best, IMO.
}-Eyeglazer's story: I've been keeping up with this. I like it.
I do too. (Namely because I'm not dead yet.)
}-AGFF people: Someone once said that there are only 10,000 intelligent
}humans in the world, and the rest of them are just trainable animals.
}This is a true statement.
So as the number of AGFFers goes to 10000, the probability that at least one of
us is a flamebot increases to one, right?
}-The list of ways to be obnoxious on Usenet was quite funny. I dig
}that.
Didn't read it. Personally, I don't see why people need a guide to be
obnoxious; most folks get it right their first shot out if they really try.
}-Napster is what it is. Everyone do a search for the song "In the Hour
}of Not Quite Rain" by Buffalo Springfield. I'm doing a study on how
}fast mp3s are disbursed over the net.
Agreed, but I'm havin' trouble logging on to Napster.
}-Autoplaying MIDI webpages: The control should be in a place where it
}is easily accessible, and the midi should be a pleasant ambient sound,
}nothing too bouncy, cheerful, or loud. People who embed mp3s should
}die.
Very much MTE.
}-Atma is Harold Lauder: I like the Stand ref. And King refs are
}excellent.
I should really finish "Millennium", or at least re-write it...
}-PC ports of Playstation games are disgraceful, and should be avoided
}in conversation as well as actual play at all costs.
Point taken. I've played three (FF7, FF8, and Die Hard Trilogy) and they all
sucked.
}-Not only is rock dead, but it has been since around 1978. Modern
}music is created in laboratories by venture capitalists, for maximum
}marketability with a minimum of characteristics that could be viewed
}as offensive (if you offend a customer, they aren't repeat buyers.) To
}this end, I offer proof: Everyone listen to the Jethro Tull song
}"Thick as a Brick", and then listen to something by the Backstreet
}Boys.
...Balance in everything. Some of the new stuff is good, so-- MOST is bad. All
depends.
}-L. Ron Hubbard is as bad as Joseph Smith.
Never much cared for either.
}:::::::::That's it for things that I felt needed to be said, moving
on....::::::::
}
}
}-I moved from where I was to where I am now.
So did I: from the living room to the cool, dry basement.
}-I've got a girlfriend who's totally awesome.
I've got an ex-girlfriend who's still speaking to me. That's a plus.
}-I've developed a taste for Yahoo hearts.
...???
}-I've been playing Grandia and Vagrant Story recently
I've been involved in WAY too much at once... Actually started Saga Frontier
the other day and am a little way into Riki's quest.
}-I read ten books by David Eddings. He's excellent. I recommend him.
I've been immersing myself in Prathcett and Jacques more recently.
}-I read "The Regulators" by Richard Bachman, which was also excellent.
I got about halfway through that before I had to study for finals.
}-Did I mention I have a great girlfriend?
...yes...
}-I switched to Earthlink for the free camera. Their news server
}carries a lot more pornographic groups than my old ISP.
Under 'Glazer's suggestion, I've taken up Worldspy. Mmmm.... porn...
}-I had a job at an ISP, doing tech support, but I quit because they
}wouldn't give me time off to see my dying grandmother. That job
}sucked, because people are generally stupid, and if they can't have a
}step by step walkthrough of double clicking an icon every day, then
}they assume that you're just not helping them.
I'd rather have that job. I work in a factory and have been bumpoed from second
shift to third (10:30 PM to 6:00 AM)... so as soon as my arm heals I'll be back
in the damned factory...
}::::::::Things that you should know, but aren't currently being
discussed.::::::::
}
}-Unreal Tournament is better than Quake III, although Quake III does
}have excellent graphics. I'm hoping Half Life II will use the Q3
}engine, as the first HL game did with Quake2's.
I haven't been playing FPS's much lately. I'm willing to give Perfect Dark a
shot, though.
}-Despite all the controversy, you're still using Windows, aren't you?
}So Ha.
Not much choice since all my files and stuff are on it...
}-AOL is the tool of the devil. It's the only Internet service I've
}ever seen that refuses to use the Dial-up adapter. What the fuck is
}with that?
AOL is evil. No other reasons are necessary.
}-Despite all the controversy, people still like using Apache on Linux
}for servers. This pleases me. Long live perl.
...Lost me, sorry.
}-Emulators and roms are one of the more fun means of software piracy,
}and should be used as often as possible.
No problem with emulation of dead systems. (Why doesn't Bleem try making a
Saturn emulator for the Dreamcast?)
}-Tequila should not be consumed for breakfast, no matter how macho it
}makes you seem.
Rrgh. Alcohol bad. (at least for me... you don't have a tolerance of a shot
of watered-down beer. Low body weight sucks.)
}:::::::Things that just are:::::::::
}
}-Bob Dylan, Kurt Vonnegut, and Sam Neill are all good at their chosen
}professions. Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong and stupid and
}should be beaten with blunt objects until they can see the light of
}reason and clarity.
Or another light, anyway. No arguments.
}-The media is sexist, racist, and biased.
And also a bunch of nanny-nanny poo-poo heads.
}-The democrats and republicans are basically the same.
Except one's symbol is an ass. Which is actually kinda fitting. I mean, it's
my party of choice. Republicans are anal and not afraid to show it, man.
}-Hewlett Packard, Compaq, and Gateway all manufacture second rate PCs.
True. (kicks Compaq for not telling me my computer only had room enough for a
single grape's worth of expansion)
}-Sex, Violence, Drugs, and all the baser parts of human nature make
}intriguing plotlines. I mean, seriously, has anyone been able to read
}the New Testament and not fall asleep? Fucks' sake, find something
}entertaining, like a Reginald Hill mystery, or watch the Sopranos.
}People are drawn to depictions of baseness because it allows their Ids
}to exercised vicariously. If we were all priests, the race would have
}died out in the dark ages.
True, but probably more due to the whole celibacy thing.
}-Gun Control: It's not how you shoot, it's _who_ you shoot.
And what with, apparently.
}-Masturbation is addictive as crack cocaine, and much cheaper.
Plus it's not illegal, so if you get caught you only lose dignity.
}-The universe is too complex to be expressed with our concept of math.
}Physics majors are just kidding themselves.
True. This also goes for theologians. "Study of God" my ass.
}-CS: It's a dirty, awful, boring, tedious, painful job, but the people
}who do it get all the reward they'll ever need when their positions
}are outsourced to India.
I know the feeling...
}-Long live the non-ergonomic keyboard!
MTE! As if typing with this sling wasn't painful enough!
}-Nihongo is a more elegant language than English.
<nods>
}-When people fry chicken, they save the grease in a coffee can in the
}back of the fridge. This from the same folks who brought us anthrax,
}botchulism, and the black death.
We don't fry chicken at my house, and when my grandmother does (and it's the
best I've ever had) she throws the grease in the garden.
}-Speaking of refrigerators, don't you just hate when someone has put
}leftover gravy in an opaque cream cheese container, so when you open
}it you find a congealed lump of animal fat instead of a congealed lump
}of milk fat?
Or when people put weird things in cake frosting containers...
}-Speaking of Nihon also, I prefer sushi to American food. My ulcer,
}Thor, agrees.
Never had sushi, though I should try it once.
}-I can't hardly drink coffee anymore, due to Thor, so when I do I
}usually fill up a mug with espresso (there's no fucking X in that
}word, to all the illiterate heathens who have spelled it with one). I
}don't really get strung out on caffeine, but I have to say that about
}10 ounces of espresso is enough to cause my ears to ring. Probably a
}side effect of neurological damage.
I can suck caffeine down all day long with no ill effects (but I despise any
kind of coffee, for some weird reason). Dr Pepper owns your soul, mine, and
everyone else's.
}AT ANY rate, this was my semi-annual check in with AGFF. Insofar as
}it's still here, I am relieved. I worry that one of these days I'll
}try to download usenet headers and find a message saying, "Usenet is
}now a wholly owned subsidy of the GO network, a subsidy of AOL."
"...Owned by Time-Warner, and censored by Bill 'Heathen' Gates."
}So, until next time, I bid you all adieu, and happy newsgrouping.
Stick around. We need witty banter and improvisation comedy.

Telamon. All the demo folks have heard of me, but I'm not good

You aren't here. You return when Atma happens to start posting
again, every couple months.

Thanks for noticing my actions. I can't say I'll begin noticing yours,
though.

I'll let you in on a little secret here.
Your opinion of me doesn't impact my world in any way.
At all.

Because you don't have a world?

It's sort of odd how whenever I do post here, you always seem to reply,
though. Actually, however, you are incorrect; the last time I was
posting here, Atma was not, and I kept asking him to return. That's
all.

It would be somewhat difficult to reply to you when you aren't
here.

Well, there is an 'x' if you're in a Spanish speaking area, but
otherwise... You know, you really should have those one at a time.
Espresso is best consumed within one minute of its being prepared and
in three or fewer sips. It tastes the best that way because you still
have the crema.
