Well, now I'm out to the net as a real(tm) geek ;-)

Two conversations come readily to mind:

1. The resurgence of the negative dialectic (Socrates dontcha know)
in modern politics and public debate.

2. The design of an interface for using Excel 4.0 as a front end to the
Lotus Notes distributed database system for the purposes of extrapolating
financial trends (this is an idea for a Comdex demo about computer
supported collaboration (CSC) applications).

Don't ya'all know that at least some of my bedtime conversations revolve
around chicken parts and the disposal there of.

Also
Let's see, how about the theory of the existance of a reflex arc between
nipples and clit?

Also
I still don't really know what a program slice is.

I suppose working out the adventures of a hypothetical left-handed
four-year-old raised by The Right People is fairly usual. Early on,
though, we did work out pretty much all of the economics footnotes
for an article on John Milton and Isak Dinesen (?).

For how many people are conversations like that an aphrodisiac, so
that even if they don't start in bed, they end or continue there?

The strangest conversation I ever had in bed was with two female
gender non-specifics and myself over how to get a particular third woman in
there with us. I am a gns male. It consisted of a lot of "we could do THIS,,
and we could try THAT...." We got her in bed with us, too. Later that week.
And in the shower. And on the couch. Heh, heh, heh....

the strangest one I had with my wife was about her finding a bunch of

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I don't know the meaning of this term. Please explain.

It might mean "bisexual", but if so, what's wrong with saying "bisexual"?

Depends on whether [pant] they were [faster, faster!] recorded [suck it!]
with [I love it when you do that] Dolby [uhhh... I'mm gonna...] reduction
or [oh yes!] not [uhhhhhhh!], surely?

I think the strangest (or, perhaps, at least the most inappropriate)
conversation I've ever had during sex with anyone was a long discussion
(punctuated by the obvious noises) of analytic means of setting a bound
on the primality of generalised Fibonacci numbers.

This remindes me of a snigglet:

What's the difference between sexual conversations with a lover, a
hooker, and a wife?

A lover says, "Oooo... more, harder, faster...",
a hooker says, "Ya wanna hurry it up, ya only got 5 more minutes...",
and a wife says, "Beige... I think I'll paint it beige..."


No offense folks...

worst conversation ever had in bed:
"Is this going to ruin our friendship"-- he says as he raises his
head, wiping my sex off
his face
most embarassing conversation;.
whether sociobiology breaks down in the face of the case of homosexuality,
or wheter that presupposes the belief that homosexual behavior is a natural
inherent behavior... which became funnier, becasue we were using quotes of
friends to argure with, friends who happened to live upstair from where we
were lying on our backs and talking at the ceiling. One of these friends
came down, knocked on the door, and then without waiting for a response,
stuck her head in and said 'could you please speaK up a little, jeanette,
so that we can hear what you're saying too?' later, when i apologized and
explained, she said 'oh it's OK, usually we can only hear muffled noises'

most bizarre:
"You know, I've decided that I'm really not physically attracte dto women at
all" (as he rips my clothes off)

other bad things to talk about in bed: oedipal complexes, radical feminism,
the longing to move to alaska, how much more fun you'd be having if you
were stoned, exams, latin poetry (to someone who doesn't know latin),
Russian drinking songs 9to someone who doesn't know Russian), calvinist
theology, and high school. I'm sure I'll find more as time goes by...

It does mean bisexual. I like this term better because of it indicates a
lack of sexually oriented discrimination in choice of partners as opposed to
the choice of both. I get tired of labelling and the stereotpe that we bi
folk are promiscuous by nature, so when people ask me my orientation I say
gender non-specific to say no orientation at all. I can love anyone.

Gender non-specific is also a bitch to say in casual conversation and
I find that people end up not using any term at all for my sexual desires
which suits me fine in most cases.

Thanks for asking. Smooch.

>RandomSort: It sorts numbers in constant order time, but does not guarantee

I had a flashback to my college days. One of the interminable
computer science classes. We were being taught various sorting
algorithms, most of which I'd already studied years previous. Being
bored, I and my friends started joking around at the back of the
class about new sorting algorithms.

I invented the random heapsort. The principle is simple. You take
all of the items you want to sort and randomly throw them in a heap.
Then check whether they landed in order. If not, pick them all back
up and toss them into a heap again.

With a little extra research, we determined that rather than being a
N*log(N) or even a N^2 order sort, this algorithm was an N! sort with
no guarantee of termination.

I also invented the random heap search. You've got your list of
items. You pick one at random and check whether or not it's the one
you want. If not, you try again. Keep grabbing elements at random
until you've found the one you want. The wonderful benefit of this
search technique is that the list does not have to be order for the
algorithm to work.

BTW, I no longer program for a living. :-)

OK - at the risk of starting a terrifying new string of postings:

The strangest conversation involved a number of puns on the word "orgasm"
(frighteningly appropriate, n'est-ce pas?). Each of us would try to catch the
other off-guard, thereby sending them into hopeless fits of giggles. Here are a
few of the goofier ones:

sex with a tennis player would result in a "Bjorn Borgasm"
Hamlet and Gertrude had an "Elsinorgasm"
Edgar Allen Poe would have had a "Nevermorgasm"
Mr. Woolworth probably had a "General Storgasm"

Everyone can stop groaning now - I just had to add myself to the list <smile>

Love and many morgasms (sorry)

OK, I feel like a bit of an exhibitionist here, but I'm a *bored*
exhibitionist, so here goes:

One night, whilst lying in bed doing my "mean kitty" impersonation --
which parenthetically *must* be seen in person to be appreciated <e-flirt,
e-flirt... :) > -- for my SO, she told me that at such a short distance
(about 3") I looked exactly like the Grinch. Hence the nickname, for those
who actually care to read those headers.

From there, the convo drifted towards how and why the Grinch *stole*
Christmas, and then that Suzy-Lou Who or whatever her name was who caught
the Grinch in the act. BTW, if anyone actually remembers who the Who
was who witnessed the Grinch stealing Christmas, please e-mail...her name
escapes us, and enquiring minds want to know.

I won't bother going into how I got my *other* nickname...

I know that the definition of promiscuous is 'anyone who's getting
more than me', but isn't this the same guy who was in bed with two
women and discussing how to get a third woman to join them?

Sometimes the damn stereotypes just seem to fit.... ;-)

Little Cindy-Lou Who, who was barely 2

(That's how I remember it, but could be wrong)

The Grinch is my favorite Christmas show. I get a kick out of all the words
Dr. Seuss makes up so that it rhymes. I also like the song they sing while the
Grinch is stealing Christmas. Listen to it sometime if you haven't already.

It seems to me that the longer you attempt to find new terms for
bisexuals (insert group of your choice for "bisexuals" here) in order
to escape the stereotypes, all you're doing is implicitly lending the
stereotypes credence. Personally, I prefer to maintain my identity as
"bisexual" and confront the stereotypes or prejudice as they come at
me.

(Not to mention that the term "gender non-specific" is extremely
confusing, and may harm more than help by its obfuscurity.)

You're gonna hate this...

From _The_New_Hacker's_Dictionary_, edited by Eric Raymond:

bogo-sort n. (var. stupid-sort) The archetypal perversely awful algorithm
(as opposed to bubble sort, which is merely the generic bad algorithm). Bogo-
sort is equivalent to repeatedly throwing a deck of cards in the air, picking
them up at random, and testing whether they are in order. It serves as a
sort of canonical example of awfulness. Looking at a program and seeing a
dumb algorithm, one might say "Oh, I see, this program uses bogo-sort."
Compare bogus, brute force.

I'm not sure this is a "heap" search. More like a blob search. :-)

I guess this must be the sort of thing that all bored students eventually think
up. A friend and I thought up a contest for "worst sorting algorithms that
are guaranteed to work".

Enumeration Sort was a real contender. Enumerate all combinations of the
list and go though them until one is found in order. Random Shuffle Sort
exchanged two items at random and then checked to see if the list was in
order (an insane Bubble Sort). Of course for random sorts you have to allow
for some statistical probablity that they will terminate (if you can determine
that the chance that the list will end up in sorted order is non-zero, then
this is sufficient -- no matter how small that chance is).

I also came up with the Theory of Elimination, which states:

"Any problem is made easier by the arbitrary elimination of some
number of its elements."

My friend's contribution was to wonder if the Theory could be proved by
arbitrary elimination of some number of its elements, and was therefore
reflexively proven.

This was a reaction to the many times I've had to hear, "How do we eliminate
this term from the equation."

"Well, just cross it out."

"What?"

"Oh, did you want to do it mathematically?"


Gosh, CS lectures really are boring.

Try Monty Pythons _The Holy Grail_ for moose puns. The credits are full
of them. "Third moose from top Fred Moose" All these typically
British names float by and then, when you least expect it, a Moose joke.
Despicable!


Of course, there is a slight chance that it *isn't* The Holy Grail, it could
be one of the others... but I'm almost possitive it's The Holy Grail.

No, I don't think so. I seem to recall a conversation about menuing
systems being punctuated by sex; and I know I've discussed trains while
in bed (of course, the fellow I was having sex with at the time is also
a trainspotter, so I don't know whether or not that would be a nonsexual

Evidently. Proceed thus:

apply the Theory of Elimination, giving

"Any problem is made [easier by the arbitrary elimination] of some
[number] of its elements."

where material between []s is to be eliminated. This gives us:

"Any problem is made of some of its elements".

This has two interpretations. Either you can compact a problem by
eliminating the non-problematic (ie, non-essential) components, or
dispose of it by eliminating the problematic components, and
leaving the trivial material as an exercise for the reader... :)

Perhaps it just means they have not yet determined their gender; in that

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me, except I wonder about your chances of
proving anything. If you think this is easy, you should look first
at the Fermat primes--they *ought* to be finite in number, but try
proving it with an analytic bound. There is no reason why things
which grow geometrically like recurrence relationships should have
a finite number of primes.

But I've got to stop now--this discussion is making me hot.

Hmm. How strange is it to estimate the electric field density of the
surrounding air during a thunderstorm, and hence the potential
difference between two peoples' respective legs when placed about 15cm
apart?

Or to work out how far away that lightning strike must have been,
coming up with the answer of about 100m, deciding you must have made a
mistake, and later going out and discovering that you were, in fact,
correct?

Junk this article here if you're not a computer type. Sorry about
this... (-8

I did a little more investigation:

stonea:~$ finger idx...@cck.coventry.ac.uk
unknown host: cck.coventry.ac.uk

stonea:~$ nslookup
Default Server: dns0-cl.cam.ac.uk
Address: 128.232.0.56

Host or domain name Internet address

cck.coventry.ac.uk mail is handled by nsfnet-relay.ac.uk
cck.coventry.ac.uk mail is handled by sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk

Which I take to mean that Coventry isn't on JIPS yet, and has a closed
campus network - mail and news go over Janet to the outside world. So -
people in Coventry could possibly manage a finger, but for us in the
outside world there's no such luck.

Just out of interest, can someone post his finger entry for us? (-8

Actually unix fingers quite nicely, but cck.coventry.ac.uk doesn't
seem to have a reverse-IP registration, so you'd have to use the

From the Washington Blade 6/12/92 Lou Chibbaro,Jr reporting

"In a little noticed action, the Federal Communications Commission ruled on
on Feb 28 that the controversial television documentary 'Tongues Untied' did
not violate the FCC's obscenity standards....
According to the FCC, more than 20 individuals or organizations filed FCC
complaints against stations which aired the program, charging that it violated
both obscenity and indecency standards....
In its ruling, the FCC said it dismissed the indecency charges on their merits
without examining them because FCC rules allow programs with 'indecent' content
to air after 8 p.m. [ my comment:Be aware that the Senate recently passed
legislation to restrict this to midnite-6am] The FCC said it examined the
obscenity allegations against 'Tongues Untied' on their merits and found them
at odds with Supreme Court standards....
Citing 1973 Supreme Court ruling of Miller v. California, which has become a
landmark ruling on issues surrounding obscenity, the commission said 'it is
unlikely , in our judgement, that the program as a whole could be found to be
legally obscene.'"

I can top this. I don't know if I'm proud of that fact, but I can
definately top this.

During the act of intercourse (and a particularly vigorous bout at
that), I stopped thrusting, looked down tenderly at the love of my
life, and broke into a full rendition of Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper's
"Elvis is Everywhere."

That this person is still willing to be seen in public with me, much
less sleep with me, I can only attribute to divine providence.

And no, I don't know why. I suspect I never will.

Now that's one to get a charge out of! (You left too much *potential* for
a pun!)

What, did you have a stopwatch? Sound travels around 330 m/s (depending on
temperature, or actually density), and the lightning could be assumed to
be seen instantaneously, so you had to know it was slightly less than 1/3
of a second between the lightning and the thunder (rather than, say, 1/2
second, because then you would have erred by more than 50%).

I wish I were in that vicinity then-- I *love* thunderstorms. We had a nice
lightning show in Madison tonight, but we haven't had much in the past 2
months, having missed our severe weather season. Any hail with your storm?
(If so, what was the largest size hailstone you saw?)

Hi Steve! If you *love* thunderstorms, you should move to Colorado! We
get some of the most violent ones possible, not to mention the occasional
tornado or two thrown in to make life interesting. The two worst
(best?) hailstorms I have experienced in the 20 years I've lived here
were 1) the pea-sized hail that drifted 4 ft. deep in places, closed
roads, and had snowplows out on Interstate 25 in June. 2) Two summers
ago, my part of town got hit by one of the fiercest storms I've ever
seen. The golfball size hail stripped leaves off the trees (it looked
like October in July), took out ALL the windows on the north side of
most of the buildings in the area including my house, and destroyed
most of the roofs as well - I had to replace mine. In addition, several
years ago a softball-sized hailstorm hit the Denver Broncos spring
training session. A small child was killed and several people had
broken arms, etc.

John Norman, of course, has Gorgasms.

Lions have roargasms.

Monogamists have XORgasms.

And Guy Williams had zorgasms.

Watch out, or I'll post the editors thread we had locally here (and it /is/
relevant - coming out in the local newsgroup under the guise of discussing
which editor people used. *Very* silly indeed. Also, great fun.. Especially
jumping on people who didn't realise it'd happened and giggling inanely at
their choice of editor..)

THE MOOSE SONG
-Thomas Payton, et. al.
(tune: "Betsy From Pike") [sort of]

When I was a young girl (man) I used to like boys (girls),
I fondled their tights (bodies) and played with their toys (curls),
But me boy (girl) friend ran off with a salesman named Bruce,
You'd never get treatment like that from a Moose!

CHORUS: So it's Moose, Moose, I like a Moose,
I've never had anything quite like a Moose,
I've had many lovers, my life has been loose,
But I've never had anything quite like a Moose!

Now when I'm in need of a very good lay,
I go to me stables and gets me some hay,
I opens me window and spreads it around,
'Cause Moose always comes when there's hay on the ground!

Now I've made it with all kinds of beasties with hair,
I'd make it with snakes if their fangs were not there,
I've made it with walrus, two ducks and a goose,
But I've never had anything quite like a Moose!

Now gorillas are fine for a Saturday night,
And lions and tigers, they puts up a fight,
But it just ain't the same when you slams your caboose
As the feeling you gets when you humps with a Moose!

I've tried many beasties on land or on sea
I've even tried hump-backs that humped back on me!
Sharks are quite good, tho they're hard to pull loose
But on dry land there is nothing quite like a moose!

Woodchucks are all right except that they bite
And foxes and rabbits won't last thru the night!
Cows would be fun, but they're hard to seduce
But you never need worry should you find a moose!

Step in my study, and trophies you'll find
A black striped tiger and scruffy maned lion
You'll know the elephant by his ivory tooth
And the one that's a-winking, you know is the moose!

The lion succumbed to a thirty-ought-six
Machine guns and tigers I've proved do not mix
The elephant fell by a bomb with a fuse
But I won't tell a soul how I did in the moose!

I've found many women attracted to me
A few of them have had me over for tea
Some say that they love me when they're feeling loose
But I'd trade the world's women for one lovely moose!

The good Lord made Adam, and then He made Eve
Said He: "If you sin now, I'll ask you to leave!"
They left not because of Eve's forbidden fruit
But 'cause Adam decided the moose there were cute!

The English are said to like boars who've had corn
The Celtics just dream of the young Unicorn
The Germans, it's said, just need leather and rope
But give me a moose and I'll no longer mope!

Now I've broken the laws in this god-awful state
They've put me in prison and locked up the gate
They say that tomorrow I'll swing from a noose
But my last night I'll spend with a good sexy moose!

Next morning the Governor's word reached my ears
"We've commuted your sentence to ninety-nine years!"
"You won't get parole; not a five minute's truce,
And your friend goes to Sing-Sing, he's so big-a-moose!"

(slowly) Now that I'm old and advanced in me years,
I'll look back on me life, and I'll shed me no tears,
As I sit in me chair with me glass of Mateuse,
And play hide the salami with Marvin (Millie) the Moose!

The Moose Song
Atlantian Traditional
tune: Betsy from Pike


When I was a young man, I used to like girls
I'd fondle their bodies, I'd play with their curls
But my girlfriend ran off with a salesman named Bruce
I have never been treated like that by a moose.

<Chorus:>
And It's Moose, Moose, I want a moose
I've never had anything quite like a moose
I've had many women; my life has been loose
But I've never had anything quite like a moose.

Whenever I'm in the mood for a lay
I go to the closet and take out some hay
I go to the window and spread it around
'Cause a moose always comes when there's hay on the ground

<CHORUS>

Bears are all right for a Saturday night
And lions and tigers put up a great fight
But it's just not the same when I ram their caboose
As it does when I get a good hump on a moose

<CHORUS>

I've done it with all kinds of beasties with hair
I'd do it with snakes if their fangs were not there
I've done it with llamas, sheepdogs, and a goose
But I've never had anything quite like a moose

<CHORUS>

I've tried many creatures on land and at sea
I've even tried ostrichs but they didn't like me
Sharks are quite good but they're hard to pull loose
But on dry land there's nothing quite like a moose

<CHORUS>

Woodchucks are all right, except that they bite
And foxes and rabbits won't last through the night
Cows would be fun but they're hard to seduce
But you never need worry should you find a moose

<CHORUS>
Step in to my study and you will find there
A black stripped tiger and a scruffy maned bear
You'll know the elephant 'cause his skin is so loose
And the one that is winking you know is the moose

<CHORUS>

The lion succumbed to a thirty-ought-six
And machine guns and tigers I've proved just don't mix
The elephant he fell by a bomb with a fuze
But I won't tell a soul how I did in the moose

<CHORUS>

I've found many women attracted to me
A few of them have had me over for tea
Some say they love me when they're feeling loose
But I'd trade the world's women for one lovely moose

<CHORUS>

The good lord made Adam and a woman named Eve
Said if you sin now I'll ask you to leave
They left not because of Eve's forbidden fruit
But because Adam decided the moose; they were cute

<CHORUS>

The English are said to like boars who've had corn
The Celts they dream of the young unicorn
The Germans are happy with leather and rope
But give me a moose and I'll no longer mope

<CHORUS>

Well I've broken the law in this god awful state
And they've put me in prison and locked up the gate
They say that tomorrow I'll swing from a noose
But my last night I'll spend with a good sexy moose

<CHORUS>

Now I've grown old and look back on the years
I laugh at the failures and smile at the tears
And the years that remain will be put to good use
Playing hide the salami with Millie the Moose

<CHORUS>

A 4D/35G. We couldn't afford anything better (though SG were very
very kind in letting our research project have the kit rather cheaply).
You could always get a short secondment to the UK office...

cck.coventry.ac.uk does not have IP connectivity as yet, so the tcp/ip
services cannot be used across the net - sorry guys!

Well, here are my contributions: (Sorry if any of these have appeared
before. What can I say, except, "Oops!")

Paleontologists have dinosaur-gasms.

Mycologists have spore-gasms.

Parents of quadruplets had four-gasms.

Afficionados of Norse mythology have been known to have Thor-gasms.

And, for the SF fans among us: Lois McMaster Bujold's characters
have Vor-gasms.

Of course, it depends on what you call 'having sex.' I have driven a
friend and fuckbuddy up the wall at times by making him explain to me
why Multics was ahead of it's time, or what a preferred library was, or
what the Alpha-chip specs meant, while I was generally fooling around
with body parts of his like toes, ears, nose, etc.

It was fun to make him stop mid-sentence as his concentration left, and
to find out how much I had to tone the playing down to keep him
bordeline coherent. Then, just as he had resumed speaking after some
insitance and a question from me, all it would take was one extra lick
and his train-of-speech would derail totally again.

I remebered some of the stuff he has told me as well.

I can't really remember my strangest conversation in bed. I know that
they probably have become quite bizarre at some point (usually
afterwards), because I have so many bizarre conversations. Usually, if I
go for laughs, I just tickle.

Like a lot of Wayne's World sayings were funnier before they hijacked them
and claimed creation.

Funny After Waynes World. Not: is a prime example of a net.word hijacked.
