Now I'm depressed. If you check ooooollllld dejanews archives, I was
hanging in a.s.m way back when. I just like the name. But there was
never anybody there, and no sense of community, so I eventually
unsubscribed. Now there's a bunch of poets. Go figure.

I must resist the urge to post the moose song once more. Overindulgence
in the moose song can lead to getting the ditty stuck in one's head,
loud singing in public, or possibly pubic, places, dueling banjos, being
ejected from bars, arrested for disorderly conduct, or possibly even
divorce.

And yet, even now, I am still thinking of mooses as carnal objects, and
I can hear the voice of the One True Tami telling me, "That is just sooo
wrong."
