Bye bye Chris.

You were delusional and a kook but fun to have around as the AI
community jester.
I'll miss you,
Don Bayomi
==========================================
March 22, 2008
I just came across this site today and wanted to set the record straight
about that fictitious post.
I did not post that message about Chris but would suggest that
probably originated from one of my 5 or so regular followers/stockers
from that center of cyber newsgroup mayhem and depravity, wpg.general.
Look up the logs and read about posters like:
Professor Norm Gall of the University of Winnipeg/Manitoba.
Jeff Stapleton of the CBC, (diligatto)cameraman
Jeff Mclovish of the CBC, (jj) morning radio person
Terry Johns, (longcoat)
etc
==========================================
WOW Bayomi you sure can't let got of anything, you like to make things
up as you go.
You could get one of those converters they sell in the states to use an old
TV, but HD sets are getting a lot cheaper these days. I don't know about
bunny ears. Until they bring the power levels to maximum I think you'll need
an outdoor high gain antenna. I couldn't be bothered to go through all the
hoops to receive that station, when there is a FOX HD station on cable.

It was you that he used to take for Sunday afternoon drives in his fine
Italian sports car. That was in the days before he dropped that nut down
the carb. Oh wait, my apologies again. There were no afternoon drives
since that POS yellow Fiat didn't run since the day he bought it.
Was it you that drove the tow truck, he kept inviting you over for a beer,
but he couldn't afford to buy MGD?
Was it your resume that was on the computer that he found dumpster diving?
Did any of this ever really happen or was it all a bad dream???

Oh Donni's still around, doesn't post often. Seems he had his computer repo'd,
that's why he has to post from the library computers.
He still posts on the wpg sales groups once in a while. There's a single
line of ad, followed by 20 blank lines and then he posts some "general"
comments. He's trolling with out bait and try as I might, to entice him
back, he seems to resist posting on wpg.sludgepit/cesspool/etc.general.
:~)
As for Greg Kaletzke, sorry, but I'm drawing a blank. No offense to Greg,
but it has been quite a while and there's a little more space between the
clumps of gray matter.
Oh and thanks for not mentioning (again) my posting history from the physics
(no, no, I meant) psychics (no, no, shit) I meant, psychiatric centre. A
hell it's all so confusing :~)

Any HD shows I get (lots of 720p stuff) I torrent then watch on my 24"
Dell in my office.. playing off a Western Digital TV box (will spring
for the network version when it comes down to $125 CDN).
My Viewsat 2000 Extreme is gathering dust, I don't have much hope for
FTA at this point, probably going to take the dishes down this year and
plug the holes in the roof.
Right now, getting a faster Internet connection with larger monthly
bandwidth is probably the best bang for the buck.

Fair enough.
I used to post all messages on usenet using my name. Glen Hallick (sp?)
Doni, and a few others all had some good flames :~) Then one day I had a
phone call (at work) from some idiot. The call was forwarded to me, since I
was the IS manager and it was an internet usage related issue. I deflected
the caller and they never called back, but the lesson I walked away with was
"who needs that shit."
I quit for 3 or 4 years and then started posting as either the
4news...@mts.net or just 4newsgroups ever since. It makes it easier for
me to know why email is coming in, if I can see "who" it's been sent to.
I remember lots of Norman's posts back in the day. We had some fun. Not so
much from you. But like I said earlier, the clumps of grey matter are
getting farther and farther apart.
Now if I hear about a TV show that I "just have to see" I download it. One
of the local distributors has had ads out for some new dish base receiver,
but unless the wife hears about it, it'll never enter my house either. Now
if I could get the local cable guy to drop by my place for $100 and hook me
up that would be another story. But I don't foresee that happening any time
soon.
I did get a flyer from Shaw today. Internet for a year at $9.95 per month.
Hell of a lot cheaper then MTS, but I don't think I could have my U-torrent
running 24/7 for ten bucks a month?

Good grief.
Christ "Kid" are you looking for a trophy? What kind of STUPID question was
that?
Why don't you get something "cut off" and bronzed? Then you could pull it
and your '72 year book off the mantle to frighten the (neighbours) kids on
Halloween. And the rest of society wouldn't be "blighted" with your
progeny.

If the kinder, gentler you ever makes it back out to Manitoba, be sure to look
up the older, fatter, and bitterer(er) me for a beer.
I note with some interest that in another thread a possible beerfest might
be in the works.

Maybe the fact that as far as I am concerned I don't care one way or
another, it was a joke, simple as that, if your sense of humour has left
you then maybe you should continue posting as Norm and Not Diane,
"either or" is up to you.
But you should keep your pit bull Hallick on a leash, he really isn't up
to the task. His "this, that, and the other" jargon trying to make it
look like someone said something they didn't is getting old, it was old
10 years ago. he just hasn't gotten any brighter.
Well, then why did you embarrass yourself by asking such an idiot
question? Do you run around asking people whom you've just found have
married "have you fucked yet?"
> it was a joke, simple as that,
Really? Jokes are supposed to be funny. Your comment as juvenile and
asinine. My apologies. I suppose you'll be off to make fart sounds and
toss 'boogers' at girls at the mall. Don't let me stop you.

So, I should do A but not B; either A or B. You really need to try to
pull yourself together. I suspect something has shaken loose.

I come back to the group after a hiatus of 6 or 8 years and Hallick
belongs to me? Christ, Glen. Sorry about that. I wish I'd filled the
food bowl before I left.
The fact is the matter is that 'The Infant' here is a dim sort that
has a hard time relating to people. So instead of pretending he's a
least a little worldly, he craps his pants in public and then blames
other people.
I guess wpg.general is just as I left it. It seems the
net.punching.bag is new, but at least its still hanging where it was.

You may think I have embarrassed myself but I have several e-mails

No, like most people who like to make fun of other people when it is
pointed at them they simply can't handle it, you show your true colours
and inability to take what you dish out.

> You're as pitiful a twat as you were a prick.
Hilarious. A guy with blisters on his dick (clearly from furious
masturbation due to a desperate need to actually touch someone who
isn't dead) is telling me about twats.
Granted, I used to be a prick, but let's face it: people are just
lining up to take a swing.
Swing away, Casey.
Swing away, Casey.
Nice try Prick-Wit or is it Twat-Rot?....
How can you possibly insult or offend someone with a name like Dick
Blisters???
As I said, you are pitiful.
Maybe if you still got your balls and a bat, you could go fuck yourself.....
> Nice try Prick-Wit or is it Twat-Rot?....
> How can you possibly insult or offend someone with a name like Dick
> Blisters???
Well, I can insult you. Whether you offend has to do with your levels
of shame and intellect. I understood that you had neither, but wanted
to point out some fact. You know you are an idiot and you know I know
it. Let's not argue about the obviously true.
> As I said, you are pitiful.
There are many things that have happened to me over the years that
people believed made me deserving of compassion. On the other hand, I
think everyone deserves some compassion from time to time: even
(perhaps, especially) a guy with enough self loathing to denigrate
himself with a handle like 'Dick Blisters'.
> Maybe if you still got your balls and a bat, you could go fuck yourself.....
I am absolutely sure that this is what the hostility and self-loathing
is about. You've always admired me but thought you were gay because if
it. Now that I am a 'proper' object of your lust, you think 'pulling
my pigtails' is a demonstration of affection.
First, it's perfectly ok to be gay. And I hate to break this to you,
but I am a lesbian. You had no chance before and none now.
Second, don't aim hostility outward. Talk it out. I am sure there are
many people who would take the time to listen. You might have to pay
them, but they are professionals.
Now, I have to go bake a cake. When you want to do this in the open,
give me a shout.
Di
> Maybe even a little cuter ;-)
I happened to watch a couple of episodes recently of ET (Entertainment
Tonight) where "Chastity" now "Charles" Bono, daughter now son (in process)
of Sonny & Cher was discussing his emotions about the sex change thing and
hormone therapy. I must admit she/he did seem much happier than I'd seen
her/him on TV before and although his male personae is obviously much fatter
than he was, in both gender instances I would describe her/him as 'cute'.
But IMHO Norm would never be 'cute' or even 'cuter' regardless of whatever
his/her gender assignment at the moment, although I do hope that he/she is
happier or at least more contented because of whatever life choices he/she
has made.
