Anything that happens, happens.
Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen,
causes something else to happen.
Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again,
happens again.
It doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though.

newsgroup besides that one is starting a thread to let people get to
know one another better. It involves filling out a short bio of
yourself. This could be a great way for newbies, lurkers and racx dinos
to learn more about the people who share this newsgroup. Who knows, we
could possibly even learn the real names of Nyx, Vorpral, Lone
Capitalist and the other aliased posters that frequent here. I have made
a short list of questions to begin with, and will then answer them
myself in a follow-up post. Please feel free to add to this list, but at
least take a moment and tell us more about yourself. Thanks!

Yes! I totally agree. I think UXM #226 was Claremont's way of saying
"goodbye" to the X-Men because he knew BOB was coming, bringing all sorts of
sloppy editor's fingerprints with him. I always look at the series as having
ended in Dallas (even though the battle with the Adversary wasn't totally
great)...Claremont knew the book was slipping, and was headed for an even
bigger fall from grace, and that was his way of letting fans have a
well-written, complete ending. UXM 210 was the last in a perfect run,
but 226 was the last perfect issue. Everything since, IMO, is apocryphal.

into who killed Peter David, and Moriarty posted, like, more than once

Favorite X-related characters: Wolverine, Cable, Shatterstar, Domino,

assistant Igor while the boss was away.
Some say I am the result of a weird and frightening experiment by unimaginable
alien intelligences.
Some say I came to be with the Universe, pulsing at the centre of existence
to the sound of a lone piper.
Me mum says I was born in Wigan, though.
>> Date of birth:
20/9/70
>> Marital Status:
Serious involvement.
>> Favorite Line(s):
"Be bloody, bold and resolute. Laugh to scorn the power of man, for none
of woman born can harm Macbeth."
"Despair thy charms! And tell the angel that thou still dost serve - Macbeth
was from his mother's womb untimely ripp'd!"
"I'm sorry? I don't speak Fascist."
"I called Superman an asshole once, but I don't think he heard me."
"On the question of whether it is better to be loved or feared, the wise prince
will consider that to be loved depends largely on the thoughts of others,
and will build on that which he himself controls."
Admiration : an acknowledgement of another's resemblence to ourselves.
"You know who runs this country? BASTARDS!!! That's who!"
"And we took all the puffs and the weirdos and the perverts and the girls and
the jessies and all the people who we hated, and we shoved them down south,
and we called them the English and we said "Stay there, and don't move! We'll
come back when we want to give you a good kicking!""
"He goes to bed thinking of ways to fiddle 10 more pounds in his expenses.
Me, I go to bed thinking of all the reasons why : I Am The Greatest."
"And I say well, God, it's like this : It might be arrogance or
just appalling taste - I'd rather use my pain than let it all go to
waste/ on some old God who tells me what I want to hear/ as if
I cannot tell obedience from fear/ I want to take my pleasures where and how
I will/ be they disgraceful or distateful or distilled/ and frankly, life
has more appeal/ without a driver who's asleep behind the wheel."
And then God decides he's taken quite enough/ of all this aetheistic tosh
I'm spouting off/and so he calls his favourite angel choir/to sing of
times when men were filled with Christian fire/but over-zealous angel
flap their wings too fast/ and cause the wind to blow and turn the wheel at
last/ and so I find myself back on solid ground/......and then I hear
a voice saying..........."Don't look down.."
"Look for the good in others, and they'll see the good in you."
"Do not go gentle into that good night.......(etc)"
"Through me is the way into the doleful city......(etc)"
"Charlie. You're paranoid and overdramatic."
"You're the man my mother warned me about. Good."
And several others, none of which I intend to attribute, as, like I said,
I'm lazy.
>> What do you spend money on?:
Pints and pints of alcohol. Wine. Records. Books, travellers cheques for
my alleged incessant foreign freebie.
>> Prized toys:
The World. The souls of humanity. People's perceptions of the everyday world.
>> Prized comics:
X-Men 100-137.
>> Physical attributes:
Head, arms, legs, body, eyes.
All in all, it gets to about 5'11. Eyes : green. hair - depends on my mood
(usually red-brown.) I've got cheekbones and dimples too, so there. I know
how to use them, so there twice. People have paid me to remove my clothes.
This speaks for itself. Or does it?
>> How long have you been reading RACX?
Since Easter '93. Posting since I don't know, but a while later.
>> Bad habits:
Ha ha ha ha! Irrelevance, serial monogamy, loquaciousness, fibbing,
causing those around me to slowly become more and more ridiculous in
some strange kind of empathy, frothing in primal slime in sunken weed-covered
cities with angles of no human construction, invading peaceful democracies,
building lasers and targetting favoured household pets, and, here's the
clincher : NOT ANSWERING E-MAIL THROUGH ABSENT-MINDEDNESS (many, many
xbook denizens all now go -"yes! we know, you bastard!")
Worshipping my Dread Lord And Master Paul O'Brien, insufficiency of
inhibitions - tricky if you're English.
Oh, and loads and loads of others too. You'd be surprised. No, you probably
wouldn't be.
>> Favorite musical artists:
The Chills. Into Paradise. A House. Divine Comedy. Fatima Mansions.
Bailter Space. Snapper. Trans-Global Underground....er....the Wedding Present.
Lots of other bands. Lots and lots of other ones on top of that.
>> Favorite X-related characters:
Jamie Madrox. Avalanche. Pyro. Banshee. Nightcrawler.

"Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,

And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night." -- Matthew Arnold

Actually, you're both right. Both movies used the quote. However, Better Off
Dead came out far earlier, like in 1983, I think. For those of you who
haven't seen it, by all means go. It stars John Cusack, as Lane Meyer, a high
school skiing star, who gets dumped by his high school sweetheart. He looks
for love, while at the same time trying to retain some dignity. Also features
Curtis Armstrong.

I think you'll find Macduff was from his mother's womb untimely

Dunno. But if we're going for really good song lyrics, how
about this:

She studied sculpture at St. Martin's College
That's where I
Caught her eye.
She told me that her dad was loaded.
I said, "In that case, I'll have another Coca cola."
She said, "Fine."
And in thirty seconds time,
She said, "I want to live with common people.
I want to do whatever common people do.
I want to be with common people.
I want to sleep with common people like you."

Thanks, Nate. Was about 12 years and a much, much funnier movie. I
first heard the line while viewing a trailer before the movie
"American Flyers." I couldn't stop laughing for the first 5 minutes
of the movie. A very valuable part of my video collection.
At that point, Emilio hadn't even been seen in the Breakfast Club,
and the Brat Pack was just forming. (I think 16 candles was out,
but I'm not sure).
Better Off Dead also starred David Ogen Stiers (from MASH fame),
and a bunch of other recognizable actors whose names I can't remember.
Check it out (and it's sister movie, One Crazy Summer (with John
Cusack and Demi Moore)).
Comics relevance - none - I wasn't reading comics at the time -
didn't start until a couple of years later.

Ok. This is not Todd McFarlane and his little group of cronies :) They
are a band out of Colorado, I believe, who have become quite popular, esp. on
the radio station I listen to. Their two albums are "Sister Sweetly" and
"Stratagem". Good albums, good songs (e.g - Broken Hearted Savior,
Bittersweet, etc) They're not bad. If you want though, I know that Dave
Barry and Stephan King and a few others have their own band of cronies to
play with. They're not really good as I recall, but hey, it's probably fun
to watch and listen too :)

Odd thing. When I first showed up in Xbooks (round about end of
November), the first post I read was by Nyx (probably because of the
cool sounding nom de plume). My first reaction was, "My, she must be,
like, one of the longtime dinosaur heavy hitters round these parts.
Don't anger her." (Wise thought anyway.)
Now, it turns out that she probably only beat me here by a week and a
half...man, do I feel stupid...:)
