Code of Codes
M Hodgson
The number of .sig file codes knocking around this newsgroup is
getting out of hand. The time has come for a Code of Codes (CoC) to
be brought in, so I thought I might propose the following:
Bear: B++ Bearded and burly, a reader of the BML from when it was
in double digits. A bear fan _and_ a bear.
B+ You know what Steve Dyer means about Brian Blessed but
lack the age/hormones to be a convincing bear yourself.
B Bear neutral - You might have a bear code but only because
they're fashionable on soc.bi
B- You've been heard to say "He might be good looking if he
shaved off all that fuzz" and believe that less is more.
B-- You consider GDM to be the anti-christ and really resent puberty.
Twink: T++ You consider "Yo Dude" to be conversation and Phantom of
the Opera to be culture. BBBwBB obligatory.
T+ Still judging books by the cover (possibly because you're
illiterate) and consider Keanu Reeves's English accent in
Dracula to be a fine example of method acting.
T Twink neutral - Capable of being accused of intellectualism
and being dizzy in equal parts.
T- You rail against the lookist society and have actually
*read* _The Sexual Personae_.
T-- You don't own a mirror and correct arnold zwicky's grammar.
Geek: G++ You communicate mainly via wire and TLAs
G+ You check your E-mail before you make a coffee when you
get to work. You are aware of "real life" but find it
over rated.
G Geek neutral - You think of Star Trek as kiddies TV, you
regard the computer as a means to an end.
G- You think Unix is a Castrati singer and MicroSoft a rather
personal insult.
G-- You are not reading this.
Smurf: S+ You remember the original clash against the bears and
still giggle annoyingly about it.
S Smurf neutral - you can see the funny side of things but
know when a joke is in bad taste
S- No sense of humour, You've been known to get passionately
upset over something as inconsequential as an O/S.
*X*: X++ You laughed so hard at his AIDS joke you popped the
stitches on your lobotomy scar.
X+ You can't see what all the fuss is about and find some of
his posts fun.
X *X* Neutral - No such catagory
X- You really can't stand to see a Melmon post go
unchallanged, you encourage him and can't help yourself.
X-- You couldn't give a damn and have no intention of wasting
any of your precious time on what belongs in a kill file.
Any additions/alterations welcome,
Mike.

Gods I hate it when people design codes which don't apply to me...
Ba ('a' as in Andy): Have a beard, nicely trimmed, and while I don't think
GDM is the antichrist, I sometimes wonder if he's not an assistant.
Ta: I wrote a good percentage of the damn TwinkCode, and I do own a
mirror (in a gorgeous oak frame) but it's 90 miles away so I have
to put up with the medicine cabinet mirror (which should be about a
foot higher on the wall for me, the full length one on the bathroom
door (same problem as the medicine cabinet) and the 8 foot wide one
over the hearth in the living room (which has horrible lighting).
And if I read Arnold Zwicky's posts (I don't see many original posts
by him that interest me that much) I probably would be correcting
his grammar *and*spelling*.
Ga: I always check my e-mail before I make coffee, but then I roast my
own coffee, so it takes 45 minutes to make a cup, so I only do it
when I'm entertaining *really* special company, and that's usually
after the time of day I spend on e-mail (if I check it that day
at all). MicroSoft *is* a personal insult, haven't you ever
dealt with their technical support?
Sa: I know when a joke is in bad taste, and make sure I preface it as
such when I repeat it (in company where it will be appreciated
properly).
Xa: I *can* see what all the fus is about, but that doesn't mean that
*some* of his posts aren't fun.

WHAT !!! Only 3 smurf code levels and 5 for everybody else.
Smurfs demand the extra special right to have as many codes as anybody
else.
ObJoke (or is that the wrong group ??? )
What's brown and sticky ???
