MOoRMC: CFD on offical Monk Code
Mattias G. Hembruch
No, I'm not proposing a newsgroup - heck, the MOoRMC is way to pathetic for
that.
What I am suggesting is that we create our own Monk Code based on the well
known Geek Code. Sure, it's a cheap rip-off - so are the dating lives of our
members :-)
It would, of course, be based mainly around music.
DA+++ Terry Taylor is the prophet of our generation
DA++ Terry Taylor has forgotten more about life than I'll ever learn
DA+ DA is a good band
DA I listen to DA at times
DA- They're a bunch of country music singers trying to play rock music
DA-- How can you like a band that changes their style with every album?
CG+++ Chagall Guevara changed my life
CG++ CG is the best thing to ever happen to CCM
CG+ I like CG a lot
CG I've heard their album
CG- I didn't like their album
CG-- I sold my copy
AA+++ Gene Eugene is the most gifted artist I've ever heard
AA++ I have a copy of Ten Songs on CD
AA+ I like most of AA's stuff
AA They have many good songs
AA- I only like one or two of their songs
AA-- What's up with his whiny voice? And why is he so bitter?
F&J+++ Fleming and John should do a cover of every song ever recorded
F&J++ Finally a good sounding band that's not stuck having to make CCM
F&J+ The album rocks
F&J I've heard 'em. Nothing special.
F&J- What's up with Fleming's voice? And that hair!
F&J-- You'd think a professional artist could hold the same note for 2 seconds
!F&J I have been unable to locate a copy of their album
F&J* I am Ed Rock
We'd still need to add the standard:
I vary widely in this category
I get paid for listening to XXX
I'd LIKE to get paid for listening to XXX (Well, ok, I think we can assume
that for most members)
Who are XXX? (If you ever choose this option, we excommunicate you :)
I can't stand XXX.
I was thinking, based on the recent discussion about likes & dislikes of
certain characteristics of members of the female gender, we should have a
section on "I am hopelessly (meaning, it'll never happen) attracted to
females who"
H+++ have hair so long Crystal Gale is jealous
H++ have quite long hair
H+ have average length hair
H have hair
H- have short hair
H-- have very short hair
H--- shave their head every 2 days
G+++ wear glasses thicker than the average physics text
G++ wear glasses of considerable thickness
G+ wear glasses but also wear contacts
G can see
G- don't need glasses
G-- have better than 20/20 eyesight
G* are willing to look at me with or without glasses
What says the brotherhood?

Indicate with parentheses. U* does not need to upgrade.
U++++ I am on-topic for alt.fan.wednesday. What more do
you want?
U+++ I grep my news spool just to read her articles.
U++ I autoselect for her on some of the groups I read.
U+ Well, I'm subscribed to alt.abuse.transcendence.
U I see her name just about everywhere I read.
U- Wednesday. That's Tina Sikorski, right?
U-- Argh. I killfile her.
U--- She's not Christina Ricci and I wish she'd get
the hell off of alt.fan.[addams.]wednesday!
U---- I KNOW SHE'S REALLY THE BOB(c)!!! I KNOW IT!
U* We post jointly.
!U Christina Ricci has an AOL account?
U^ Hell, I read alt.fan.wednesday, AND I DON'T EVEN
HAVE ACCESS TO THE USENET!! BWAA HAA HAAAA!
s p (w e d n e s d a y s p a c i n g)
s p # (your licence #) -- if you have a licence
! s p -- if you don't.
* W (World Wide Web)
W++++ SHE LINKED ME TO HER WEB PAGE. *scamper of joy*

her to my pages at least once.

W+ I've gone in once or twice, and it's pretty cool.
W I could only see it on Lynx, so I didn't get the full
impact.

rid of that damned huge bio. It's really unnecessary.
W--- She has no HTML skill whatsoever. What are you talking
about?!

W* We maintain joint pages of some form or another.

familiar enough with her diet that I can predict her

more often.
M++ I've done coffee with Wednesday, probably while passing
through Chicago.

C* I loaned Wednesday the system that she is currently using.
!C I am Karl Denninger, and I wouldn't want Wednesday back
on my system if she paid me -business rates-.
* D (Dating Wednesday)

discreet relationships.

quite easily share the same CD collection with very
little clash.

N--- Uhhh.... something Sikorski...
N---- You mean it's not Wednesday?!
N* I've known Wednesday since before she was called Wednesday,
so she lets me call her by her legal name.

some people would KNOW how names work.

hangs out on, and can usually find her without doing

I+++ I usually see her on the same channel, and she talks
to me regularly.
I++ If I /msg her, she'll actually respond.
I+ I know she has a process running, but I can't always
get her attention.

she gets all of it sometimes...

good long while.
E I've gotten email from Wednesday once or twice.
E- I've sent her mail, but she hasn't replied.
E-- I have had to use bloodhounds to find replies from
Wednesday.
E--- Why doesn't she just get an autoresponder like Kibo?

health- threatening crisis in person.

Not a bad idea. If there is actually an interest, I might consider setting
up a web page to automatically generate an RMC code (sort of like the one
that does the geek page).
Of course, we'd be listing probably around 200-300 artists and constantly
adding new ones. It would be hard to keep a "current" copy of the code..

hum. if it's specific to the newsgroup, not necessarily. i would
envision two sections re: music: one, for specific styles of music [use the
traditional radio formats - inspirational, adult contemporary, CHR/top40,
rock, alternative, metal - with things like rap and house/dance and such
thrown in for good measure]; two, for artists that are frequently topics
of discussion on r.m.c [amy, mws, the choir, f&j, VoL, etc.]
you also have a section for the raging debates of r.m.c. for example:
S++ secular music can be inspired by God just as christian music can.
S+ i enjoy quite a few secular bands, m'self.
S music is music. if i like it, i listen to it.
S- all my albums are Christian. i don't seek out secular music at all.
S-- secular music is of the devil and you should avoid it at all costs.
S--- i burn secular records.
!S this whole secular/christian dichotomy is so bogus.
oh, the fun we could have!

You might want to change this one to AAg just to avoid confusion with Audio
Adrenaline. At least I think you were refering to Adam Again ...

John V. who realizes he has never heard: Adam Again, DA, any terry taylor
stuff, or Gene Eugene stuff. (Boy am I isolated)

Really? No Rap-Sures, Swirling Eddies, Lost Dogs, At the Foot of the Cross,
etc??
BUT, I'm almost certain you've heard an album produced by T.T. or G.E.

Oh, so we have all the time in the world? We don't do laundry, cook for
oursleves, do all the shopping, home repair, mending, housecleaning, bill
paying, checkbook balancing, etc.? Couples can share responsibilities.
Singles must do for themselves.
Sorry, but you almost sounded like my church for a little bit there. This
has been a bone of contention among a few--ok like there are only three
left--singles at my church. :-) I'm off the soapbox, now. ;-)

Well all it would take would be for him to tune in to his campus radio
station. A program on it called "Over My Head" (yeah from the King's X
tune), gives them more than their fair share of air time. Plus, I've been
known to play a tune or two from those bands on my show.

Oh, sorry, I thought it was a GIVEN that members of the MOoRMC live at home
and their parents took care of most of those things :-)
I apologize to the unfortunate few who do not :)

Well, even Paul seems to follow this idea - a single man can devote himself to
God. Now, what that means in today's world in practical terms, only God
knows for sure.

This may be just another point where I'm beginning to see the wisdom of
the Toad the Wet Sprocket view of Paul...
