A Conference About Spam

zonker writes "January 17th will be the first (annual?) meeting of the Spam Conference held in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The informal meeting will feature Paul Graham, John Graham-Cumming, John "Cap'n Crunch" Draper among others (possibly including ESR though he hasn't yet confirmed). The free conference will consist of a number of talks about new ways to combat the growing spam problem, after which everyone's going out and getting some Chinese food. Should be an informative and fun meeting and a chance to meet some interesting people."

    Yes you really lack the basic intelligence, you may know how to read, write, speak, and solve major mathematical equations, but you lack common sense, and therefore are in no positions to criticise Linux in any way, shape, or form.

      48 hours is a good but not great response time. However, Geocities could easily do more to prevent repeat abusers by doing some parsing of page content. What usually happens is that a spammer sets up 20 geocities cites which are either identical or at least link to the same affiliate program. Then they use them, one after the other, moving on to the next each time one is shut down. Geocities could easily kill this by logging the offending links and proactively killing the sites (sure, you get into obfuscation and such, but it would still do a lot of good). They could also amend their TOS to forbid participation in affiliate programs, and do quite a bit to strip out common affiliate tags in an automated fasion.

      I can comment on that.... I'm in touch with some people at the FTC, including the Webmaster and their network administrator. ALL of the spam (40,000 per day) goes into a huge database. This database is made available to all law enforcement agencys, both Federal and State. So far, they are getting good prosecutions of the more prolific spammers.

      The ones they give higher priority to are DOMESTIC spammers, so don't waste the bandwidth sending your chinese or korean spam to them. Although they process it, the ones that get the highest priority are the ones with broken opt out links or ones that bounce for opt out requests. Also quantity takes a higher priority. Plus they also look at the stuff they sell, and sometimes make legit purchases to verify they are not scamming. But ONLY to the more prolific ones.

      Although they DO pay attention to Nigerian spam, it is best to send those to mailto:419.fcd@usss.treas.gov?subject=NO_LOSS

      I send ALL my spam to ftc, spamcop and Nigerian ones to the above address.

      in my recon missions, I have indeed confimed that spammers DO share information, and opt out really just gets you MORE spam.

      When sending reports to FTC, it's helpful if you are specific in your subject line. Like: "there is no opt out", or "opt out link dead", things like that.

      The FTC has a rather large staff to process it, although most is done automatically and none of it's read my a human until AFTER it's entered into the database. Once in the database, it's classified and processed to make it easy for law enforcement to get good evidence on them.

    Well, it's easy to understand why they do these things: They're undernourished, because they don't have much food out there in all the poor countries. So the average foreigner is about four foot six, maybe five feet tops, and they weigh about eighty pounds. Their teeth tend to fall out, and their bones are brittle as hell because they don't have milk. That's because their "commissars" took all their cows away. So you see, these poor "Europeans" as they call themselves, and the "Canadians" and whatnot, all these people are frail weaklings. They have no knowledge of freedom either, because they don't have a Genesis Document guaranteeing their rights, and they're given to sodomy and other degenerate practices because they've never been exposed to Christianity. Christianity is banned in Europe, did you know that? It's true. The Socialists always ban religion when they seize power. Of course, the Europeans were never free to begin with, so they don't know any better. They've always been slaves. It's all the same to them.

    So their poor diet, their atheism, their slavehood, and their homosexuality have robbed them of their strength and their manhood. Therefore, they play girl games like Snuckers, Privet, and Gloon. While we eat our peas for the souls in Purgatory, they HAVE no peas. They limply push a ball around a field, with no manly, bone-crunching collisions to build their flaccid
    characters. Where even our most girlish pseudomen play tennis, they teach badminton to their soldiers.

    As quite possibly the only member of the old-school Slashdot trolls to ever actually attempt a serious and meaningful conversation with Mr. Lockwood (it worked, briefly), I feel compelled to comment on this.

    That Geekizoid is an inanity is beyond dispute. That it is what it is almost entirely because of Mr. Lockwood is also beyond dispute. That Mr. Lockwood has, furthermore, contributed substantially to the deterioration of every site to which he has ever posted, save only those which were beyond redemption before he ever saw them (a category which arguably includes Slashdot), I will not dispute. That all of this, along with the other charges leveled against him, proves that Mr. Lockwood sucks, I will not dispute.

    The real question behind all this, though, is not whether Mr. Lockwood sucks, but why Mr. Lockwood sucks. One might say that it does not matter, noting, by analogy, that one does not psychoanalyze a rabid dog, but instead simply puts it out of its misery. But it does matter, for in his own odd and frightening way, Scott Lockwood is Everyman. If you do not understand him, you do not understand anyone, probably including yourself.

    Everyone, seemingly, detests Mr. Lockwood. Given that he had been married four times before he turned 30, this "everyone" may well include three ex-wives (last I heard, we're still waiting for his inevitable fourth divorce). From various anecdotes he has let drop over the years, there are a variety of real-life acquaintances, co-workers, and blood relatives in this category as well. So clearly, this is not just an online phenomenon; Mr. Lockwood is not a caring, sensitive man who lets off steam late at night by flaming people on weblogs. He is like this all the time. It is not a pose. It is the real Scott Lockwood, at 200 proof.

    Mr. Lockwood himself is not unaware of this. He knows (and wishes it were not so) that dislike follows him around like the odor of alcohol trails after a drunk. But he has no idea why this is so. He knows it has to do with his abrasive and temperamental demeanor; he knows that his argumentative and self-righteous comments, and his complaints of being mistreated, win him no friends. But the connection between the cause and the effect, and the difference between his conduct and most other people's, escapes him. He has given up hope of understanding or improving the situation; he expects that it will continue, without change, for the rest of his life.

    Mr. Lockwood does not understand that all of these things are symptomatic of a malaise that underlies his entire life. It is a condition that he was very nearly born with, and one which victimizes nearly all people to some degree. Most of us are not nearly as bad off as Mr. Lockwood; but there are some that have much more severe cases than him. Many rapists, murderers, and other violent criminals fall into that latter category. But even those of us who merely think ourselves better or smarter than everyone else, or who consider ourselves fit to decide what is right for everyone else, or who mock others for what they believe, are victims of this condition to some degree. I include myself in this; I do not claim (yet) to be speaking from a perspective completely outside the state of disease.

    Mr. Lockwood's problem, to put it simply, is that he perceives the universe to be antagonistic to him. He has divided the universe into Self and Other, and decided that these two are eternal antagonists. Everything is his enemy; every action that anyone takes (other than to praise him), he perceives as some sort of attack, and he retaliates accordingly. He is convinced, although probably only subconsciously, that his life is a war in which he stands alone against all the forces of the universe. It is, in essence, the ultimate in paranoia.

    As I wrote above, nearly everyone shares this condition to some extent. Many serial killers operate on the principle that, life being a never-ending battle that they will ultimately lose, they should take as many of the "enemy" with them as they can before they fall. But even ordinary people mostly act on analogous principles. Many people exploit the world around them in destructive or insensitive ways, or mistreat their fellow humans needlessly. This is all a consequence of defining the Other as an enemy; and this, in turn, is based on the fundamental error of dividing the universe into Self and Other.

    What we all (Mr. Lockwood included) should strive for is an end to this division, which is really only a matter of mental habits, not an a priori property of existence. It derives from the infant's perception that part of what he perceives obeys his will and sends him sensory input (Self), and the rest does not (Other). The antagonism between these two hypothesized entities derives from the instinctive desire on the child's part to impose his will on everything; Other does not do what he wants, and is therefore the enemy. And so the infant makes the fundamental error that haunts him, in most cases, for the rest of his life.

    This is what makes Mr. Lockwood tick. It is probably also what makes you tick. Think about that carefully before flaming him simply because his case is a bit worse than yours -- if indeed you are better off.

But, since we're all still waiting for that to happen, I decided to try a little program called SpamNet that promised to block out junk email. After a few months of use I'm happy to say it works great. The premise of SpamNet is that all users of the software can block spam. This works well, and works even better as more and more people use the software.

    SpamNet sends it to a little folder called "Spam", in case you want to double-check and make sure nothing you wanted got blocked.

    The good parts:
    - Automatically blocks about 95% of spam
    - Small, fast, simple, FREE

    - Not at all configurable (just does what it's supposed to do...)

    Now, unfortunately, such a scheme has some problems. The huge variation in performance between machines out there means any computation substantial enough to crimp a spammer might cause grandma's 486 to become unusable for sending email. More to the point, it could greatly increase the cost of running webmail services (not to mention mailing lists).

    STEP 1 : Pick a story and search through for a highly-rated or otherwise prominent comment in which someone uses a nubmered list. For example, you want to find something like this:

    EXAMPLE:

    1. Blah!
    2. Blah!
    3. Blah!
    For example, I selected this post as a prime target. There are only a few things to keep in mind: pick an active story and a comment that'll be seen by a lot of people as the target of your troll. The comment MUST contain a numbered list, similar to the above, although the exact style of numbering can vary. Also, try to pick a comment that hasn't already been trolled this way. Every comment with a numbered list will eventually get hit, so you want to be quick.

    STEP 2 : Take careful note of the method of numbering that your target post is using. It really doesn't matter, as long as it's numbered. For example, in this post I use text like "STEP 1", "STEP 2", etc. Note this carefully. This method of trolling makes the most sense when the list is a list of ordered steps (such as this vary document you are reading), BUT if the numbered list is something different, such as "REASON 1:", "REASON 2:", etc., hit it anyway! Your troll will be more esoetric and non-sequitur, but all the better: trolling doesn't always HAVE to make sense. Sometimes it's fun to confuse people.

    STEP 3 : Now you'll put the information gained from step 2 to good use, as you attack the target you selected. This is where it gets complicated, so pay attention. This is easiest to explain with a couple of examples. Let's say your target looks like this:

    TARGET POST:

    • 1. I am a Slashbot!
    • 2. Gosh, I hope I don't get trolled!
    • 3. Blah blah blah, whore for karma!
    • 4. In conclusion, I'm SO smart!

    Now, to pull off your masterfult act of trollage, you'll want to sneak in, post a reply, and do this:

    TROLL REPLY:

    • 4. ???
    • 5. PROFIT!
    Let's say that the post you're replying to is a bit more complex:

    TARGET POST:
    Reasons Linix is so great!
    *REASON 1: My allowance won't cover expensive software.
    *REASON 2: Completely off-topic rant about Microsoft.
    *REASON 3: I love Linix!!

    Now you want to come in and do this:

    TROLL REPLY:
    *REASON 4: ???
    *REASON 5: PROFIT!

    Note what I did there: I emulated the exact style of his numbered list, and then added to it in order to cleverly troll him. THAT is the key. If he numbers his list using bold, use bold. If your target uses all caps, use all caps. If he uses Roman Numerals, use Roman Numerals (hint: I II III IV V VI VII VII IX X, then everything repeats from there), etc. Make YOUR list seem like an naturally-flowing conclusion to your TARGET's list. Then give him HELL! Here's the general key:

    TARGET POST:
    1. Blah!
    2. Blah!
    3. Blah!
    ...
    X. Blah!

    TROLL REPLY
    X+1. ???
    X+2. PROFIT!

    I know it gets complicated when you throw in the algebra, but you should be able to do it. Keep track of the numbers on a piece of paper if you have to. It's vary difficult, but once you try it out, you'll get the hang of it. It's an aquired skill that can only be improved through hard work and practice. So get out there and troll!

    Here's a summary:

    STEP 1 : Pick your target (active, contains numbered list)
    STEP 2 : Gather information (style of the numbered list)
    STEP 3 : Nail the target by adding on to his own list!
    STEP 4 : ???
    STEP 5 : PROFIT!

    See, I even did it to my own damn list! That's how easy it is once you become a master at this discipline of trolling! Good luck, young Jedi!!! Go out and troll the world, you motherfucking cuntrag bitches!!

    Today was the appointed date for jury duty (postponed since this summer, since the idiots at the courthouse failed to divine that calling a student to duty in the county where he studies rather than resides permanently doesn't make any sense). It was my hope to get on a jury, since I highly value the (unconstitutionally diminishing) role of the jury in American jurisprudence.

    I showed up this morning at the courthouse. After some buffoonery at the security check (hint: don't carry a cpu in your backpack when arriving for jury duty), I went upstairs where I signed in and was informed that I had already missed the video (shucks). I filled out some paperwork and was redirected to the grand-jury room.

    This was a potential mixed blessing. Grand juries, as distinguished from petite ("normal") juries, are the first line that the state must cross before obtaining an indictment for the accused. They consist of 23 laypersons whose standard is "probable cause" rather than "reasonable doubt" and vote by majority rule whether to issue an indictment. The prosecutor presents his witnesses and evidence, and the defendant has no representation. Normally, the grand-jury trial is brief and 99% or so of all grand juries return an indictment. Prosecutors often refer to this statistic as the "ability to indict a ham sandich" if they so please. Grand juries usually sit for one day per week for three months, something that would screw up any student's semester.

    The good thing about grand juries is that they have almost infinite investigatory powers to do whatever they please. What is not commonly understood is that the role of the grand jury isn't just to return a verdict in the form of an indictment; it's for members to question witnesses, subpoena evidence the prosecutor didn't present, and generally get the whole story. It's even within the power of the grand jury to expell the prosecutor and judge if the jury so decides.

    I was prepared to give them hell. Once on a jury
    (grand or otherwise), I was going to be the asshole
    lawyer the defendant isn't allowed to have. I was
    going to subpoena bank records, grill prosecutorial
    witnesses, and vote to nullify anything I considered
    unjust (even when "legal"). I was going to persuade
    enough fellow jurors to kick out anyone we didn't
    like, especially the prosecutor. In short, I was
    going to troll the legal system.

    But I didn't get that opportunity. After an hour of
    sitting in the grand-jury room, we were informed that
    we weren't waiting for a grand-jury seating: instead,
    a petite-jury seating.

    Petite juries, in states that value the constitution,
    are 12-person panels that sit and hear evidence in the
    actual criminal trial. Their role is ostensibly to
    decide the facts and apply the law as directed by the
    judge. Their actual role under the constitution
    (though the Supreme Court doesn't require that you be
    informed of this) is to sit in judgment not just on
    the facts but also on the law. Again, I was hoping to
    get a chance to nullify stuff: this time, drug laws
    and other things I believe unconstitutional.

    Again, I was denied. Only five minutes later, we were
    informed that all the cases pending today were
    plea-bargained, and we were "free to go". A sigh of
    relief was heard throughout the room, as people who
    didn't want to be there were grateful that they didn't
    have to serve on a jury and perform the duty they
    didn't want to perform. I was disgusted.

    That's what's most wrong with plea bargaining in this
    country. Not that 90% of cases never reach public
    scrutiny because they're decided in the hallways of
    courthouses. Not that people serve penalties for
    unconstitutional charges. Not that real criminals get
    off with reduced sentences. Not that the legislatures
    feel free to pass an absurd number of laws without
    caring whether the court system can handle the load of
    giving each citizen true justice.

    None of that.

    What's wrong is that I, a troll, have been kept off my
    damn jury. No respect.

    I find it interesting that it is possible to extend your ego to the internet to the degree that siggy seems to have done. I haven't used the
    internet for very long (thats the UK for you), but I can certainly see how its possible to end up actually caring about some online persona.
    Personally, I don't give a shit, but thats because I don't have an online persona that is actually me (does this post negate that? I'm not telling you ;). If someone had created a 'KTB' character on k5 before I had, I would probably have been annoyed, but only because I may want to extend the character, insofar as I have developed it, onto k5 as well. The thing is, *I* am not really on the internet much at all. It seems that Siggy is, though, from what I can tell. He seems to be really into writing those torrid diaries, and exploring rather private parts of his personality in the most public of places - such as his sexuality, as 'Going For -100 Karma' publicised on /. If he really is exposing his true self to the k5 audience, this may be why he has become so defensive about the 'Bojay Iverson' thing - I would certainly be in a panic in his situation, if I thought the online world could reach into the real world and give me a kicking. I don't think I'll ever write diaries on k5, or if I do, they won't be about me, thats for sure. It freaks me out a little how easy it is to get information about someone on the internet, and the last thing I want want is an online diary, that will never expire, being accessible to all and sundry. I don't know, I just find the idea of posting your personal thoughts for all the world to see rather strange, if not a little
    creepy. Perhaps its a Britain-America thing, I've heard that Americans are not shy, in fact sometimes I think they have never heard of the concept of embarrassment. So there you go ;)

    [bc] to stop you mixing it up too much? Playing tricks and pranks
    [me0w] And the licking ...
    [bc] this makes you sound like quite the handful when pissed
    [me0w] A giggly handful, yes.
    [me0w] That's why I need a voice of reason.
    [bc] I don't think I'm too bad when drunk. In fact, I'm often the voice of reason for other people, despite that we have all drunk hideous amounts. I'm just the same as usual, but more exhuberantly, I suppose. I think I have a good head for booze by nature, that's prolly why
    [bc] mm that was tasty
    [bc] post-prandial smoke time
    [me0w] enjoy
    * bc wonders whether to watch "contact" on dvd, which he has, but hasn't watched, though he read the book years ago
    [bc] which I liked, I liked the way it was all about revelation, and its validity
    [bc] the woman in it was sort of like a hardcore kurobot at first, you know, utterly logical positivist and materialist and dismissive of anything that can't be proved utterly, of revelation, till it all comes back and bites her when she has her own revelatory experience
    [me0w] I don't think I have ever seen this film.
    [bc] it's supposed to be decent.
    [bc] I think a lot of people hated it, and another lot of people loved it
    [me0w] I will have to add it to my must see list of films.
    [bc] it's a sort of SF thing, in a way, and I think a lot of the people who disliked it were expecting some usual guns'n'aliens shite
    [me0w] I normally don't watch 'alien' movies.
    [bc] it's not really like that. The book wasn't at least. It's set present day
    [bc] they discover an alien signal
    [bc] this woman does
    [bc] and there's lots of politics and argument about it
    [bc] and she is hardcore rationalist and dismissive of the religious people
    [bc] but in the end, she ends up having an experience that everybody doubts she had, a revelation..

    [Captain_Tenille] Nope. Doesn't look like it.
    [Captain_Tenille] Yawn
    [Captain_Tenille] All right, time to make breakfast, I think
    [Captain_Tenille] I may be on later.

    [me0w] they leave so quickly
    [bc] yes
    [me0w] I made coffee, but now I find I'm too lazy to go and pour it.
    [bc] Catch 22 then
    [bc] you need some caffeine to rouse you to pour it :\
    [me0w] I need to hire someone to make it for me.
    [me0w] But this person must agree to be paid in post-it notes as I have no funds.
    [me0w] My new site format seems to be coming along. I might actually like it.
    [bc] hehe
    * bc is writing a ranty comment
    [me0w] Will it be exciting?
    [bc] maybe if you like seeing infinitera being attacked, otherwise it's prolly not your thing
    [bc] it will be 0ed though, as usual, by him

    [bc] and I don't really attack him personally till towards the end
    [bc] infinitera is a twat
    [me0w] Well, I think the "I think you a cunt" might be a bit insulting
    [bc] it's possible ;)
    [me0w] For some anyway
    [me0w] I might take that as a compliment.
    [bc] I'd just laugh and respond in kind
    [bc] I don't understand the people who get so worked up about lack of civility on the internet
    [bc] it's all just a laugh
    [me0w] It is all for my amusement
    [bc] when ubu and I met, we were calling each other cunts immediately, and being dreadfully insulting. We knew instantly we liked the other
    [me0w] That is when you know it is true love.
    [bc] indeed. I don't love ubu like a brother, I love him like the homosexual partner I never had
    [me0w] I should send flowers to celebrate your relationship.
    [bc] that would be very nice of you. The anniversary is very soon, actually
    [me0w] Brilliant!

    [bc] hi, gurrrrl
    [gurl] hullo, you
    [me0w] Hello
    [gurl] christ i overslept
    [bc] what time is it where you are? 11:30?
    [gurl] twelve thirty
    [bc] damn firemen
    [bc] striking bastards, is what they are
    [bc] there was a housefire here, the soldiers had to break the picketlines, and 6 people were injured due to smoke inhallation. The firemen deliberately tried to stop the aid going out to the fire
    [me0w] That isn't good.
    [me0w] I can understand the strike, but preventing aid is not ethical.
    [bc] the fire service should be shut down and replaced with a nice big charity
    [bc] they get £21,000 as a starting wage, the firemen, which is well above the national average wage, After a few years, it rises considerably further, and they have already been offered an 11% raise and rejected it - they are going for 30% (!)
    [bc] for what? 99% of the time they are sitting about playing cards
    [me0w] 21,000 is far too little
    [bc] the fire service should be like the RNLI
    [bc] me0w, that's a starting wage for a newly qualified fireman
    [bc] the national average wage for everyone is £17,000
    [bc] this isn't a rich country like America, with its closer embrace of capitalism, where the national average is more like £30,000
    [me0w] I guess I just know people who make more than that.
    [me0w] I still think 21,000 is rather low
    [bc] £21,000 is perfectly decent as a starting wage
    [bc] nurses get £14,000, soldiers £16000, as starting wages
    [bc] policemen £17,000
    [me0w] Nurses should get more, as well as police men
    [me0w] The train people should get less.
    [bc] well, ideally I'm sure everybody would be getting £1,000,000 annually, but I'm not willing to see the government take more than half my earnings away to give to these people. If they don't want to work for those wages, they can switch to the private sector.
    [bc] and yes, the train sods especially suck
    [bc] they went on strike at glasgow underground forcing me to walk 6 miles through highly dodgy parts of glasgow in the rain
    [me0w] I think that there are certain professions that should be paid more ... firefighters, police, nurses, teachers
    [bc] I think it is fine, as long as the money isn't stolen by threat of violence off others to do so.
    [gurl] er, no.
    [bc] a free market would sort them out, it is only ever public sector workers that strike anyway.
    [gurl] nothing teachers do warrants more money
    [bc] they'd pay fairly
    [gurl] nurses get paid very well for their hours and labour
    [me0w] nurses are underpaid
    [gurl] at least, if the flooded nursing schools are any indication
    [bc] also, funnily enough teachers in scotland just got a 25% increase a couple of years ago. There is now a big "brain drain" of the best teachers from england to scotland. heh!
    [me0w] Which is why there are a shortage - they go places where they will be better paid
    [gurl] yes, and that is the hospital down the road
    [gurl] it is a highly paid but stressful job
    [gurl] not everyone can hack it
    [gurl] thus, the shortage
    [bc] here, all the best doctors and nurses go to America
    [bc] where they get paid decently
    [me0w] A large number of nursing students in Canada go to the US, and the Middle East - they are usually paid more than double what they make here
    [bc] we in turn import from India and scandinavia
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] but scanadinavia is supposed to be the perfect country!
    [gurl] all socialist paradise and whatnot
    [gurl] well, the countries in that region
    [bc] not judging by the delectable nurses at my local hospital, loads of whom are danish, norwegian, swedish
    [gurl] well, being raised socialist apparently doesn't kill the desire to earn a fair wage for services and all that
    [bc] norwegian especially, but I think that is because lots of norwegians come to scotland anyway, cos it is quite close
    [gurl] lord, i don't want to go bed shopping
    [bc] it certainly doesn't, gurl
    [bc] shopping in bed, or shopping for a bed?
    [gurl] for a bed
    [bc] get one that doesn't creak or have annoying springs
    [bc] the best bed I ever had was one that was a platform of wood planks, with a really thin mattress on top
    [bc] that thing was great
    [bc] prolly quite cheap, too
    [gurl] i just want a futon
    [bc] never tried one of those, are they good?
    [me0w] Get a sturdy futon
    [me0w] Over time the frame can bend
    [gurl] i was thinking a metal one
    [me0w] You'll want a thick mattress on it (if they give that option)
    [bc] cool
    * bc watches Only Fools and Horses
    [gurl] actually, i will go tomorrow since i cannot carry the sodding thing home with me
    [bc] hehe
    [gurl] i think i'll just take the bed frame from my old bed
    [gurl] and buy a new mattress
    [bc] heh. Sounds good

    [bc] I did that to a girl week last week after a date. It's surprisingly hard. Requires delicacy

    [gurl] i have a hearty beef stew
    [bc] oh splendid
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] i am reading about the french foreign legion
    [bc] oh yes. That's France's only *professional* section of the army eh?
    [bc] I know someone who served in it for 21 years
    [gurl] it is terribly intensive
    [bc] yes
    [bc] long marching through the desert and stuff
    [gurl] and no girls allowed!
    [bc] http://britishsas.8m.com/training.html
    [bc] ^I think that is about the globally hardest training&selection for any regiment
    [bc] they are insane
    [bc] as part of it, they have the applicant (after a week of insane marching and activity) look after a pet rabbit in the mountains for a while. he is completely alone, and must forage for his own food and protect the rabbit for ages. Then, he recieves an order to kill and eat the rabbit
    [bc] quite sadistic ;)
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] there's a kill house?!
    [bc] they are special forces
    [bc] anti-terrorist stuff is one of their duties
    [bc] storming embassies, say, like when they stormed the Iranian embassy and freed all the hostages in London in the 80's
    [bc] they were the first special forces unit in the world, created during WWII
    [gurl] lordy
    [bc] Delta Force in the US was founded in the 70's by an American officer who lobbied for it after seeing the SAS and serving in an exchange program in the UK army
    [bc] but they aren't as good. They have a slightly different ethos. Delta Force peeps tend to be really big and brawny, and their modus operandi is to be flown in on a big helicopter and shoot everything up before being flown away again
    [bc] the SAS are different, in that they believe in more traditional marching and approaching the target on foot. They tend to get dropped far away, sneak about hundreds of miles, attack, and sneak away. And they operate in teams of 8 generally
    [bc] http://home.hccnet.nl/22.sas/Operation%20Nimrod.ht ml
    [bc] ^that was mad
    [bc] I remember watching it on tv
    [gurl] so the sas do it properlike
    [gurl] well, more like people think such things work
    [bc] of course! ie, no hostage deaths, all terrorists dead, seemingly miraculously
    [bc] it's sort of amazing
    [bc] another famous one was the scud stuff during the gulf war
    [bc] one of their missions went wrong, they were given wrong maps
    [bc] and they were euipped for desert conditions, but it was frequently -20C and snowing etc
    [bc] and they got discovered and stormed by two lorry loads of iraqi tropps, tanks, etc, from a local base
    [bc] so the 8 of them killed ALL of them, then walked 100km overnight carrying 80lb bergens in freezing conditions
    [bc] they are sort of insane those people. Not qute normal, but very good at what they do (wholesale, efficient slaughter)

    [bc] and also, cos it is UK army, it is not just UKians, they select from many countries in the commonwealth
    [gurl] reminds me of stephen king's gunslinger
    [bc] so canadians and australians and NZers and Nepalians can see the SAS as the peak of their career, if they are good enough to make it through selection
    [Captain_Tenille] SAS?
    [bc] yes
    [gurl] british special forces
    [Captain_Tenille] Aha
    * Captain_Tenille always thought MI5 and MI6 were cool acronyms
    [bc] hehe
    [Captain_Tenille] Although for the longest time I thought it was M16
    [Captain_Tenille] Which seemed odd
    [bc] ct, during WWI it went from MI1 all the way to MI20
    [bc] also, MI5 & MI6 didn't officially exist until very recently
    [Captain_Tenille] I was just about to ask what happened to MI1-4
    [gurl] heh
    [bc] having no constitutional checks, the government is free to deny they exist at all
    [gurl] haha
    *** county (midas@cloaked.client.attbi.com) has joined #adequacy
    [gurl] oh look@
    [gurl] er, nevermind
    [Captain_Tenille] The US gov denied the existence of the NSA forever.
    [bc] same as SAS, which didn't officially exist till the 90's,, and is still v.secret
    [Captain_Tenille] I don't think they officially acknowledge the Delta Force
    [bc] the SAS are fun because they are the first special forces group, and most other western country's special forces groups were founded, usually much later, on that model, often by officers who saw the SAS in exchange programmes and thought it a jolly good idea
    [bc] Delta Force being a case in point, in the 70's. Same with Germany's, france's. Greece's, Israel's, etc etc
    [bc] but SAS are teh best!
    [gurl] it is impressive what humans can be taught to do
    [Captain_Tenille] Is SAS just Green Beret style special forces, or does it include PSYOPS and Civil Affairs type stuff
    [Captain_Tenille] ?
    [bc] that's the other thing with the SAS, the complete lack of traditional army discipline, which was very new
    [bc] ct: it is mostly military and anti-terrorist
    [bc] there is another group that specialises in civil intelligence
    [bc] that sometimes work with the SAS, but the SAS are purely a military machine
    [Captain_Tenille] Civil Affairs handles the military's relations with the governments of the countries they're in.
    [Captain_Tenille] Should said government fall, they set up a caretaker government in it's place.
    * Captain_Tenille 's dad did that for a long time

    [bc] what'd he do?
    [gurl] his warrant caught up to him
    [bc] damn
    [gurl] he owes about 400£ in fines
    [Captain_Tenille] I just found out yesterday, actually, what my dad did after he worked as a codebreaker during the Vietnam War.
    [county] bc, you've millions, get gurl's brother out of the clink.
    [bc] he deserves it, county
    [bc] Contributing to the skill of the SAS is the Operations Research Unit which develops unique equipment for use by the SP team.
    [county] That's beside the point. She'll be indebted to you.
    [bc] ^^hehe, that's like "m" in james bond
    [gurl] bc, he found a job
    [gurl] and now he will lose it
    [gurl] because of extended absence
    [bc] damn it
    [bc] what's he fined for?
    [Captain_Tenille] Aren't you guys going to ask what my dad did?
    [bc] isn't that classified, ct?
    [Captain_Tenille] He didn't tell me much.
    [gurl] speeding ticket, i think
    [Captain_Tenille] Just enough to make me boggle.
    [Captain_Tenille] zuul, he?
    [zuul] he is not
    [bc] but he was army, eh? mad
    [Captain_Tenille] Wouldn't tell me what he did
    [gurl] then why build us up so cruelly]?
    [Captain_Tenille] NSA. That's all we would say.
    [Captain_Tenille] er, he
    [county] Come on, bc, give her brother a chance.
    [county] He's trying to turn is life around!
    [county] He's in jail because of ancient history.
    [bc] you're right county. I will bail him right away.
    [county] Good man.
    [county] I'm sure gurl will be very grateful.
    [gurl] some woman is presently trying to adopt me
    [county] But you're too old for that.
    [bc] is she older, and with grown up children who have flown the nest?
    [gurl] yeah, pretty much
    [gurl] except her grown kids are still in the nest
    [county] And she wants more.
    [gurl] she thinks i'm a unique snowflake
    [gurl] and wants to feed and clothe me and all that
    [bc] weird, gurl
    [gurl] aye
    [bc] weird weird weird
    [gurl] and the annoying guy at work who kept trying to pay me to go out with him
    [county] So are you going to take her up on it?
    [gurl] he got in a horrible car wreck and was fired
    [gurl] she is rather like mother
    [gurl] except less manipulative and deceitful
    [county] Did he get fired for getting in the car wreck?
    [gurl] not quite
    [gurl] he was fired for trying to come back to work
    [gurl] with a broken neck
    [bc] he offered you money? heh, how desperate
    [gurl] well, he is married
    [gurl] and also i don't want him
    [gurl] but he just couldn't seem to accept that
    [bc] "Please come out with me?" - "No." - "I'll give you £500."
    [county] That's really harsh.
    [bc] it's damned right, gurl
    [county] He was so dedicated to his work that he wanted to come in, but he got fired instead!
    [bc] I'm proud of you!
    [county] Couldn't they just tell him to go home and sleep it off?
    [gurl] he got in the accident whilst drunk
    [gurl] and it was off duty anyhow
    [gurl] so they can easily get him on inability to perform
    [gurl] and he could hardly even sit down
    [gurl] the doctor hadn't signed a release
    [gurl] so however cruel it sounds, they had every reasonable right to fire him
    [county] Still, to be unemployed and mangled in these times is difficult. He'll probably end up on the street.
    [gurl] no, his wife is utterly devoted and loving
    [gurl] and makes piles of money
    [gurl] she wanted only to take care of him
    [county] He has a devoted wife who makes lots of money, but wants a little on the side too?
    [county] That seems risky.
    [gurl] but he wanted to go drinking and sleep with other women
    [county] I should find a rich, devoted wife.
    [county] Having one could be convenient.
    [gurl] it was the only thing that saved him
    [county] Some guys have all the luck.
    [bc] hehe
    [gurl] i am sure bc would happily arrange for you to acquire a wealthy wife
    [bc] it's true. There's a lucky sod I know who's wife is a civil engineer making tons of cash. All he does is footer about spending her money on computers and crap. They love each other very much and seem very happy. Sickening, it is.
    [county] Yeah, I need someone to take care of me!
    [county] I'm tired of being responsible.
    [bc] BRB, mobile shop
    [gurl] have a beer
    [gurl] actually, have five or six
    [county] What's a mobile shop?
    [county] Anyway, that's too many beers.
    [gurl] well, however many will intoxicate you
    [gurl] women like to help men in that state
    [county] Haha!
    [county] What nonsense.
    [county] Women hate drunks.
    [gurl] depends on the drunk boy
    [gurl] i find some of them endearing
    [bc] damn it's cold
    [county] Well, what do you expect? Your house was built before heat was invented
    [county] What's a mobile shop, though?
    [bc] I am an endearing drunk boy. My cold reserve melts away, revealing a vulnerable and heartbreakingly fascinating character. I find that women are much more interested in me when drunk, than when sober.
    [county] uh huh
    [bc] county, a shop on wheels that drives around selling things. It parks outside my front door
    [county] What sort of things?
    [bc] in this instance, I got dunhills and Irn Bru, and a bottle of Gin
    [county] So you've gone back to the bottle.
    [county] tsk tsk.
    [bc] all sorts, county. There are many of them, in fact. Soem are mobile butchers, others mobile grocers and fishmongers. This one sells everyday necessities
    [county] Like I said, though, some guys have all the luck. When sober, I'm undesirable. When intoxicated, I'm undesirable in a different way.
    [county] Everyday necessities like dunhills, Irn Bru, and gin.
    [bc] Yup.
    [county] dunhills sound like cigarettes. What's Irn Bru?
    [bc] they sell what's sold most in the local community
    [bc] county: http://www.bevnet.com/reviews/irn-bru/index.asp
    [gurl] what's a good poll topick before i hotfoot it elsewhere?
    [bc] poll? hmmn
    [county] I don't think I've ever seen any of that, bc.
    [bc] favourite spirit?
    [gurl] irn bru is only in scotland
    [county] That would be all you can think of.
    [bc] county, well, it is actually illegal in the US, the FDA won't allow it to be sold there
    [bc] so it isn't surprising
    [county] gurl, "Favorite condiment to lick off nipples?"
    [bc] it contains too much iron, or something
    [county] Be sure to include horseradish as an option.
    [wsl3] county: Hot Thai Red Curry
    [bc] it's very very popular in russia though
    [Captain_Tenille] What on earth is it? And why is it illegal?
    [bc] ct, it's just a soft drink. It's illegal cos the FDA don't like it's iron content
    [wsl3] What is?
    [Captain_Tenille] Ah
    [gurl] man, i suppose i am not cut out for daytime drinking
    [gurl] my tummy hurts now
    [wsl3] gurl: Have some nice cock. That should solve the problem, but only if you get all the way down and get the protien suprise at the end.
    [gurl] i don't see how
    [gurl] protein makes my tummy hurt
    [wsl3] They'll cancel each other out.
    [gurl] i somehow doubt this.
    [gurl] i love my diary.
    [wsl3] Nah, I can show you if you want! :-)
    [county] Give up, wsl3. The fact is, you can only score with fatties.
    [wsl3] give it up county, the fact is, I don't care what you think. :-)
    [county] That doesn't make any sense, idiot. I wasn't trying to influence your opinion.
    [bc] I love your diary too, gurl =)))

    [wsl3] gurl: Top size?
    [gurl] and that only if she is super muscular

    [gurl] well, that leaves the taller ones out

    [Captain_Tenille] Tall girls are overrated

    [gurl] that is a shame for you, wsl3
    [county] I don't much like taller girls, gurl.
    [wsl3] under, yes.
    [gurl] i personally think too many people are heavy
    [county] Much beyond 5'6" is too tall, I think.

  63. At Some Point You Just Know by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Jack Daniels has a new ad that's been running in several different magazines
    lately. I saw it as I was skimming through the August issue of Rolling Stone
    Magazine. The ad shows a bottle of Jack Daniels "Old No. 7". Above the
    bottle are the words "At Some Point, You Just Know Who You Are" and below
    the bottle is the caption "For Us, That Was 1866."

    I didn't know who I was in 1866; I wouldn't be born for another one hundred
    and eleven years. But at some point I did come to realize and to accept who
    I am. --- I was, I am, and I always will be gay.

    The point of realization came in March of this year. If I had not been
    taught to believe otherwise, I probably would have known this a long time
    ago. Ever since the onset of puberty I've been sexually attracted to people
    of the same gender more so than those of the opposite gender. For years and
    years I denied that I was having these feelings, I prayed earnestly for them
    to go away, but they never did. I grew up being taught that everyone was
    born heterosexual and that homosexuals were sick people who chose to sin by
    living out their perverted fantasies. In middle school and high school if
    people thought you were gay, you would be beaten up and made fun of. So, not
    being one who loves to be beaten up, I hid my feelings, denied my feelings,
    and prayed that God would make me "normal" like everyone else. My prayers
    went unanswered, my attraction towards members of the same sex only grew
    stronger.

    Finally, in March of 1999 I stopped denying everything I've ever felt, and I
    accepted who I am -- I'm a 32 year old gay male, and this drinks on the
    house

    [county] How many nights?
    [momocrome] and then set it up to say two or three keywords in a certain sequence to crush her will
    [county] See, that's what I meant by time.
    [momocrome] those would be nights spent next to her lithe figure, though
    [momocrome] not a waste, a benefit
    [county] You've an interesting idea about the female psyche, momocrome.
    [me0w] Night night
    [momocrome] night
    * momocrome fetches 'nother beer
    [county] OK, so I whisper the words, she cries, then what?
    [county] Can I grind her to dust and throw her into the wind?
    [momocrome] sure
    [momocrome] or change her being for the simple thrill
    [momocrome] mold her life to your whim
    [momocrome] whatever suits your fancy
    [momocrome] I am turning my girl into a goth
    [county] I thought she was to begin with.
    [momocrome] just cause she 'hates goths'
    [county] Or was she more a punk?
    [momocrome] well, she is goth-ish without admitting it
    [county] So you're not actually doing anything at all, just taking credit for a preexistent state of affairs.
    [momocrome] and somewhat punk. bitch is probably a better description
    [momocrome] heh
    [county] Or is that too much honesty?
    [county] I can tone it down, if you like.
    [momocrome] no. I have turned her around
    [momocrome] now, for example, she listens mostly to bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy
    [momocrome] in her car
    [momocrome] sheonce hit me with her fist for daring to suggest such dreadful music!
    [momocrome] bah
    [momocrome] tastes change
    [momocrome] I can't honestly take credit for it
    [county] She hit you with her fist?
    [county] And you tolerated it!?
    [momocrome] why not?
    [momocrome] it is well within my threshold to tolerate
    [county] It's quite disrespectful.
    [momocrome] she is 'spunky' like that
    [momocrome] she throws things at walls
    [momocrome] slams doors
    [momocrome] hangs up on people
    [county] Sounds like my sister, of whom I am not particularly fond.
    [luisa||||] heh
    [momocrome] is your sister self absorbed and tempermental?
    [luisa||||] you couldn't make me cry that way, county
    [luisa||||] emotional torture is bad form and doesn't really work
    [momocrome] my GF is not self absorbed or tempermental
    [momocrome] she is obstinate and hysterical
    [momocrome] hmm
    [momocrome] maybe I am drunk?
    [county] luisa, I would make you cry somehow.
    [momocrome] the fastest road to this destination is with puppy murder
    [momocrome] get a puppy, let her fawn over it a bit, then hack its' head clean off
    [county] I will make you cry, I do so swear.
    [luisa||||] nah, you cannot
    [momocrome] it is how the Nazis trained their officers
    [luisa||||] i don't always know why i cry
    [luisa||||] but i do know boys aren't able to make it happen
    [county] I don't care how long I have to employ arcane magic and technology to keep us both alive, but I will make you cry.
    [county] Even if I must delight you, bore you, torture you, romance you, shun you, and pleasure you for tens of thousands of years, I will succeed.
    [luisa||||] nope, you'll not
    [county] We'll see who has the last laugh.
    [luisa||||] hehe.
    [county] That was a laugh, sure, but was it the last?
    [county] Haha!
    [county] Apparently not.
    [luisa||||] hoho!
    [county] Oh stop, you.
    [luisa||||] certainement, chere
    [momocrome] county, luisa||||, I hate to mention this
    [county] Yet you're going to anyway?
    [county] Why, I wonder?
    [momocrome] but if those pics floating around of luisa|||| are accurate
    [momocrome] she is my ideal woman
    [county] Well, which ones?
    [momocrome] i am compelled to finally mention it
    [momocrome] by way of booze
    [county] She doesn't actually look like a monkey, if those are the ones you're thinking of.
    [momocrome] do you suppose those are the ones to which I refer?
    [momocrome] I am probably just grasping at any outlet though
    [county] Well, are you talking about the ones of a topless young black girl with a tattoo?
    [momocrome] she was wearing a nice dress in the photos I saw
    [momocrome] don't recall toplessness
    [momocrome] bc had them on his server
    [county] The topless girl with the tattoo isn't luisa.
    [county] There are some ones of the real luisa wearing scandelously short dresses and skirts, though.
    [momocrome] those are probably the ones I am thinking of
    [county] OK.
    [county] Well, get in line, buddy.
    [momocrome] no prob'
    [momocrome] i already have a girl, after all
    [county] Yes, rub that in.
    [county] Son of a bitch!
    [luisa||||] yeah, i notice that about guys
    [luisa||||] they find me quite attractive
    [momocrome] and a bunch of airline miles!
    [luisa||||] but at the end of the day, i haven't got them as boyfriends
    [luisa||||] some less hot chick does
    [momocrome] I can even upgrade to first class en route to Houston
    [luisa||||] what's up with that?
    [county] God damn you, luisa.
    [county] bc took me off the access list, and I know it's your fault.
    [momocrome] you'd have your pick in Seattle
    [luisa||||] bc loves you
    [luisa||||] no i wouldn't
    [luisa||||] they wouldn't even talk to me
    [county] He thinks I'm tempermental, untrustworthy, and fiery, though.
    [luisa||||] just stare and smile some
    [county] He doesn't think I'm fit to hold power.
    [luisa||||] well, you are at that
    [momocrome] well, if either qpt or I saw you on the bus, we'd both make our moves
    [luisa||||] pfft
    [luisa||||] well, i know qp is a doll
    [momocrome] I am a Viking Warlord of a doll
    [luisa||||] but i only like blond things for sport
    [county] I'm not sure I'd recognize luisa.
    [luisa||||] and qp is blonde
    [county] I'm not.
    [luisa||||] well, you should be
    [momocrome] sure, shoot me down already.
    [momocrome] :(
    [luisa||||] next you'll be telling me you're not attractive, either
    [momocrome] I might be as handsome as Yanni!
    [luisa||||] and that you aren't a boy at all.
    [county] I could say all of that.
    [county] Have, at one point or another.
    [luisa||||] so you are a girl?
    [county] No, I'm not, sadly.
    [luisa||||] a pity
    [luisa||||] i like girls for sport well enough
    [county] What sort of sport?
    [momocrome] that's itg.
    [momocrome] dammit
    [momocrome] I have a hangnail all bandaged up
    [momocrome] disrupts the typing
    [luisa||||] what a night
    [momocrome] you scoff.
    [luisa||||] i chose irc and light reading and 80s music at home over 80s music in a club and loads of pointless drinking
    [momocrome] but I tried to proclaim my love
    [luisa||||] eh, you are drunqk and claimed
    [luisa||||] and also non-local
    *** ubu_away has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 360 seconds)
    [county] I tried to proclaim my love, too.
    [luisa||||] you are also drunk and non-local
    [luisa||||] also, i have no idea what you look like
    [county] You are so shallow!
    [county] And you do know. bc showed you a picture.
    [county] I asked him and he confirmed.
    [luisa||||] i have no idea what picture
    [county] I looked for it the other day, it wasn't online anymore.
    [luisa||||] a shame
    [county] It was a poor picture, anyway.
    [county] I've gotten better looking in my twenties. I was quite pleased.
    [luisa||||] well, it's no matter to me
    [county] Yes it is. You prefer not to look at ugly pictures.
    [luisa||||] you are either pasty faced dork or rather decent looking
    [county] Everyone does.
    [luisa||||] i shall never know which
    * county gets an idea.
    [county] If I were really pasty and really dorky, might you be brought to tears at the sight of me?
    [luisa||||] no.
    [luisa||||] else i'd weep daily
    [luisa||||] just from walking around and about
    [county] What's your opinion of ubu's picture?
    [county] I was rather surprised.
    [county] I'm not convinced it's him.
    [luisa||||] if that is him, goddamn
    [luisa||||] that's really it.
    [county] And to think, he's been hitting on li'l ol' me!
    [county] I feel flattered.
    [luisa||||] heheh
    [luisa||||] the thing is though
    [luisa||||] it would be totally typical for a boy like him to look like that
    [county] How do you mean?
    [momocrome] http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/zones/reviews/ pc/jul01/legendsMM01.jpg
    [luisa||||] i knew a guy similar in personality to him online
    [momocrome] images fdrom a game I made
    [luisa||||] the guy was so cagey about his appearance
    [luisa||||] but he was super fucking gorgeous
    [luisa||||] but also an invalid recluse who resided on his parents' estate
    [luisa||||] i miss him sometimes
    [county] haha! So you've mistaken my own hesitance to give out a picture for attractiveness.
    [county] That's amusing.
    [luisa||||] in your case, no
    [county] You have to realize that most people who don't want to be seen simply do it out of ugliness.
    [luisa||||] i was speaking of ubu's image that he chose to pony up
    [luisa||||] nearly all the cagey guys i have met first online were superhot
    [luisa||||] they just felt they lacked appeal
    [county] I know that you were talking about ubu, but I was noting that it explained your somewhat bizarre notions about me.
    [luisa||||] k5 has unfortunately shown me the more homely-ass end of the spectrum
    [county] I don't know why you can't accept me as I am :(
    [luisa||||] i haven't any idea what you am
    [luisa||||] as in other areas of my life, i was horribly spoilt in my early online experiences
    [luisa||||] pretty much everyone was very physically attractive, and also fun to hang out with offline
    [luisa||||] mostly the people i get along with best online are also physically attractive
    [momocrome] county's eyes arent gray.
    [luisa||||] not every time, but 9/10
    [momocrome] they are green-brown
    [luisa||||] don't taunt, momo ;p
    [momocrome] mine are gray.
    [luisa||||] green-brown is one of my favourite colours for eyes
    [momocrome] also, I can track raccoon by the merest trace of their spoor
    [luisa||||] grey can be interesting, but depends on the lad
    [luisa||||] i am sure that is very nice.
    [county] My eyes are green-brown. I've medium brown hair, and I'm caucasian, but with a fair amount of Iberian blood in me.
    [momocrome] gray is the premium eye colour. don't fool yourself.
    [luisa||||] pfft
    [luisa||||] well, you sound pretty enough
    [momocrome] Iberian isn't caucasian?
    [luisa||||] if the boys i have known like that are anything to go on
    [momocrome] I suppose it is moorish mixed
    [momocrome] I am norse.
    [county] momocrome is also fat.
    [momocrome] bah!
    [county] A big, fat viking.
    [county] With a braided beard.
    [luisa||||] haha
    [county] He pillaged his bride from a nearby village.
    [county] ^ Poetry.
    [luisa||||] haha
    [luisa||||] i am a sexy bitch who wishes boys liked her in a long term relationship way
    [momocrome] I have been with my GF for 3 years 11 months
    [momocrome] I have staying power
    [luisa||||] yes, for her
    [county] luisa, never trust a guy who leaves someone to be with you.
    [luisa||||] i want a superhot boy who is clever
    [luisa||||] and who wants me for a long time
    [momocrome] well, since we haven't married, perhaps we need to move on now.
    [luisa||||] i quite despair of ever attaining that
    [county] You just don't strike me as the committing type, luisa.
    [luisa||||] since bc is my evil twin
    [momocrome] bc would marry you
    [luisa||||] we could never marry, or even date, even when i am in scotland
    [luisa||||] we could probably hang out some
    [luisa||||] but anything more wouldn't even make sense at this point
    [county] You seem too self-absorbed to be faithful. Faithfulness, though the rough spots, requires a real selflessness, and you don't appear to exhibit that. That's not to say that you couldn't be selfless, I have no idea. You don't seem it, though.
    [luisa||||] i am very self-contained
    [luisa||||] it has been a source of stress in every really serious thing with a guy
    [luisa||||] also i have no tolerance for idiocy
    [county] Guys are used to women being somewhat unreserved in their expressions of emotion. Maybe your aloofness is mistaken for lack of interest.
    [momocrome] or frigidity
    [county] Aye.
    [luisa||||] well, i am warm enough in physical aspects
    * em is back
    [luisa||||] i just am cold outside physical expressions of intimacy
    [luisa||||] hullo, em
    [em] wrote another conference abstract, forgot to have dinner.
    [luisa||||] korean
    [county] The physical aspect isn't enough, though.
    [luisa||||] man, because of you, the girls at the restaurant think i've been to korea
    [em] who, me?
    [luisa||||] because i can say all the dishes correctly
    [county] It would just make you seem sluttish.
    [em] bibimbap dolsat?
    [em] kimchi?
    [luisa||||] oh, there's loads of other things besides those
    [em] those are all I know, so don't blame me, dammit
    [luisa||||] haha, but i love them all
    * em wrote a semi-sane abstract tonight
    [luisa||||] sluts regret and get emotionally attached, though
    [luisa||||] i don't
    [momocrome] the most passionate and violent racists I have ever known are koreans that hate other koreans.
    [em] and had a meeting earlier today with one of my profs about the crazy one I did yesterday
    [county] Then you're even worse than a slut, then, if you feel no emotional attachment?
    [em] He said: "I thought you were too young to write such Grand Old Man abstracts!"
    [em] and then kind of mocked me by reading the first couple of sentences with an imitation of Roman Jakobson's accent.
    [em] (yeah, my prof was a friend of Jakobson. sue me.)
    *** momocrome is now known as Linux
    [luisa||||] i feel emotional attachment
    * em thinks Linux should be banned in this channel.
    [luisa||||] it is just not something i bother the boy with
    [county] You just said you didn't.
    [county] The boy wants to be bothered with it, you nut!
    [Linux] em, I think they are ripping on you in trolltalk
    [luisa||||] no, that is just asking for rejection
    [county] Of course, and there's the rub.
    [em] luisa||||: i think you care too much.
    [luisa||||] i always reject guys who want me lots
    [Linux] em, with your actual christian name
    [em] what's the URL for trolltalk?
    * em is mildly curious.
    [county] Maybe there are some guys who are more charitable than you, luisa.
    [county] I suspect there are.
    [Linux] http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=20721&cid=4679 945
    [luisa||||] i haven't met any
    *** Retrieving #adequacy info...
    [county] Anyway, wanting you a lot right after meeting you and wanting you a lot after a few months of seeing each other frequently strike me as crucially different states of affairs.
    [luisa||||] well, i reject in both cases
    [luisa||||] usually because the guy isn't the right sort for my tastes
    [county] Why?
    [luisa||||] the ones i want will not suffer through the emotional coldness to stay with me
    [county] What do you want? To love and be loved, but never admit it or have it be admitted to you?
    * em looks at the trolltalk thing.
    * em yawns.
    [luisa||||] heh, probably, county
    [Linux] there is a traiteor in the midst of the old inchfan crowd
    [Linux] traitor
    [Linux] gah
    [Linux] ok, just thought you should know
    * em yawns.
    [county] Suffer through it? Why would they? From their perspective, you're frigid or not interested, and sticking around would be foolish and self-indulgent. They're only trying to make a graceful retreat when they can.
    [em] who the hell is matt stanton?
    [Linux] no idea
    [Linux] it does bring up your stanford page as the first hit on google
    [Linux] and judging by how hard they are harassing vlad, i'd keep an eye on things
    * em doesn't really care by now.
    [county] I'm glad my name wasn't on that list.
    [county] I don't want to be targeted by those freaks!
    [luisa||||] they know i'm interested, county
    [county] Interested really isn't enough.
    [county] Interested is wasting their time, after a point.
    [county] They need to know you have some level of commitment.
    [luisa||||] i'd stay only with them and not have any others, if they asked
    [luisa||||] the boys i tend to like
    [luisa||||] but they seem to all think i should be with someone more attractive physically
    [county] Can you honestly be so dense?
    * em realizes who Matt Stanton is, and simultaneously, the identity of the perpetrator.
    [Linux] osm
    [Linux] not that I know who matt stanton is
    [county] Who is Matt Stanton?
    [Linux] they are calling the whole bunch + vlad 'Vladequacy' and targetting all
    *** luisa||| (~happy@dialup-64.152.241.224.Dial1.Houston1.Level 3.net) has joined #adequacy
    [luisa|||] how am i dense when the boys are the ones saying i'm too pretty for them to deserve?
    [county] luisa, the simple fact is that until you're willing to make yourself more emotionally vulnerable, you will never find what you want.

    Hi. I couldn't stay away, so I scrounged up some 'net
    access. Hi.

    I was talking with rusty indirectly about this, last
    night. He was asking me why I wanted k5 Anne Marie's
    nick -- that is, why I wanted to carry that "slashdot
    baggage" over with me to k5, the same way siggy did.
    It's funny, that way. I wanted k5 Anne Marie because
    it's a lovely character troll of mine. Siggy wanted
    "Signal 11" because it's the only way he's ever gotten
    a lot of (any) attention. He's afraid to be just
    Bojay Iverson, and it really comes across.

    [county] I hope they just kill me when they take over.
    [momocrome] I've already adopted the internet as a cybernetic extension, a third lobe if you will.
    [momocrome] that makes me pretty damn smart
    [momocrome] smart enough to out fox the elderly chinese!
    [county] I need super powers.
    [First_Incision] I like that Vonnegut book where the Chinese transform themselves into everpresent sentient germs

    [luisa||||] actually, no i don't
    [momocrome] hi me0w
    [county] momocrome, do you take the 2, 3, 4, 8, or 18?
    [luisa||||] because county would look at me like that
    [county] Or the 1.
    [momocrome] I take the 18
    [county] OK, that makes sense.
    [momocrome] and the 522
    [county] I used to take the 522 daily.
    [First_Incision] Isn't seattle a degenerate city full of leftivists, starbucks customers, and starbucks vandalizers?
    [momocrome] 522 is sound transit express tto lake city
    [momocrome] FI, not at all
    [luisa||||] seattle is full of sexy bitches
    [county] Yes, I used to stay in Lake City.
    [luisa||||] i like that in a town
    [momocrome] it is mostly Young Urban Professionals
    [county] The 18 isn't perfectly convenenient for me, but it works. Maybe I'll start taking it.
    [county] That would be strange.
    [momocrome] they drive volvos or VW jettas
    [momocrome] doesn't it hit a nickerson route?
    [momocrome] or is that leary...

    [momocrome] whenever I can afford an attourney that will spell it out for me in a way no cop or prosecuter can deny
    [county] momocrome, something odd I've noticed while riding the bus is the sheer number of drivers who seem to want to get hit by one.
    [First_Incision] Oh, if I wanted to get into an accident, I know just the place. There is a stoplight out of my neighboorhood that is apparently optional
    [First_Incision] People run through it with abandon
    [momocrome] that would send shockwaves through the economy
    [momocrome] indeed, county
    [momocrome] and the sheer number of people that drink booze on the busses is weird, too.
    [county] I haven't really noticed that.
    [county] Isn't it against the rules?
    [momocrome] especially considering how rare actual booze can be in WA
    [momocrome] certainly
    [county] Is booze rare?
    [momocrome] and another weird thing is that food & drink and pets are _not_ against the rules
    [momocrome] well, the state-run liquor stores aren't exactly common
    [county] I not infrequently carry rather large amounts of booze on the bus.
    [county] I feel awkward when I do.
    [First_Incision] momocrome: do they have non-state-run liquor stores?
    [county] Not that I care about being seen with booze, but I don't want people trying to steal it.
    [momocrome] no
    [county] Yes they do, momocrome.
    [momocrome] really?
    [county] Just not in Seattle.
    [momocrome] i've never seen one
    [momocrome] ah
    [county] They're all in little dinky rural areas.
    [momocrome] special dispensions for remote areas not worth investing state dollars in operating a store
    [First_Incision] Malvo and Muhammad's first victim was in front of an Alabama state run liquour store. Coincidence? I think not.
    [county] I think so, momocrome.
    [county] I don't mind the state-run liquor stores.
    [county] There's one right next to the grocery store I shop at.
    [county] The place is clean, the selection good, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
    [momocrome] yeah, at least you know the cigarettes aren't counterfeit
    [First_Incision] I've never been to one. They are the small minority of liquor stores here.
    [momocrome] in CA, that is the usual case. cheap mexican cigarettes are smuggled in and sold for normal prices, sans excise
    [momocrome] the difference in quality is marked
    [county] In California, spirits can be had anywhere.
    [county] It's strange, to me.
    [county] I've always lived in states that had tightly-restricted liquor laws.
    [momocrome] but you can't smoke in restaurants
    [First_Incision] It amazes me how in Indidana, there is literally a liquor store on every corner
    [momocrome] i get creeped out being able to smoke in public places like that
    [First_Incision] I hate it when people smoke around me.
    [First_Incision] I HATE IT!
    [me0w] I crave smoking.
    [First_Incision] I want to harm them physically.
    [momocrome] not that I am a heavy smoker... but I like one after meals and when drinking
    [momocrome] FI, I want to harm people, or harass them at least, that hold your position
    [luisa||||] i don't mind smokers
    [luisa||||] i just am not round them so often
    [First_Incision] why haven't there been riots over this yet?
    [momocrome] especially those that see you smoking in an isolated area and come over, cough and glare at you
    [First_Incision] We should meet up in a restaurant and start one
    [momocrome] CA is horrible for that
    [luisa||||] heheh
    [momocrome] its like people know they can exert power over you, guilt you about smoking, and so go out of their way to position themsselves to do so
    [First_Incision] I can't open my eyes when people are smoking around me. The pain is too much
    [luisa||||] it was weird that cali grocery stores sold hard liquor
    [luisa||||] i sorely wish i could buy booze at walmart here
    [county] Why on earth would you want walmart booze?
    [luisa||||] although i am fond of the liquor emporium
    [First_Incision] Some day, teary-eyed, coughing and furious, I shall harm a smoker.
    [momocrome] walmart? you should get booze at costco! it is worth the drive to another state and a membership
    [luisa||||] it would be cheaper
    [luisa||||] i wouldn't buy the store brand
    [county] What state, momocrome?
    [luisa||||] heh, i can just see that
    [momocrome] a $20 bottle is $6 at costco
    [luisa||||] sam's club vodka
    [luisa||||] sheeit
    [momocrome] well, for us I think it is just CA or ID
    [county] That's fantastic, momocrome. Where?
    [county] OK.
    [momocrome] heh
    [county] Do you want to drive to Idaho next time we get paid?
    [luisa||||] see, i have to pay 200 for a plane ticket there
    [momocrome] you're on!
    [county] It'll be fun.
    [luisa||||] not including the membership fee
    [momocrome] you'l have to rent a car
    [luisa||||] cali is closer
    [luisa||||] i think
    [momocrome] I've got a costco card though
    [luisa||||] well, blow me down
    [momocrome] luisa||||, a CA costcois not so close
    [county] Idaho and California are both far away, but I think Idaho might be a bit closer.
    [momocrome] probably nothing north of Sacrement
    [momocrome] i
    [county] Is there a Costco in Redding?
    [momocrome] o
    [county] Oh, that far.
    [luisa||||] ah, i figure there was one up north
    [momocrome] dunno
    [momocrome] maybe
    [county] No closer than Redding, I would guess, and that's a drive.
    [momocrome] hang on
    [First_Incision] well, I'm going to sleep.
    [momocrome] yes there is one
    [First_Incision] nite
    [momocrome] nighteo
    *** First_Incision has quit IRC (Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com))
    [luisa||||] oh, there are loads of them in texas
    [luisa||||] one a few miles from me
    [luisa||||] it says there is one in seattle
    [momocrome] AHQ!
    [county] There is, luisa.
    [momocrome] the company is headquartered in Seattle
    [luisa||||] but i'm using their warehouse locator
    [county] momocrome, here's the plan.
    [luisa||||] so fuck knows if that means i can buy stuff there
    [momocrome] nothing about booze on the website so far
    [county] We'll drive to Redding, buy lots of booze, drop by Houston, sell some to luisa at a profit, then drive back here.
    [luisa||||] haha
    [luisa||||] if i can go to a houston costco
    [luisa||||] i wouldn't need your liquor!
    [county] No, see, we'd get you really drunk and then we'd steal your wallet and flee to Seattle.
    [luisa||||] i have no wallet
    [county] Where do you carry your money?
    [luisa||||] wouldn't you like to know.
    [county] Well, that is why I asked, I suppose.
    [luisa||||] mostly i don't carry
    [luisa||||] unless i am getting groceries or something
    [county] Hmm. I always have money, but then, other people don't buy me things.
    [luisa||||] people used to more often
    [luisa||||] but that was when i was not so morose
    [county] I've always been reserved, not morose, though.
    [luisa||||] that always makes me dizzy in a guy
    [luisa||||] because so many have trouble sorting themselves in public or private with females
    [county] How do you mean? Maybe we just prefer to ignore females.
    [momocrome] damn
    [momocrome] luisa||||, I was pursuing the theory that you were a guy earlier today, because women usually don't refer to male humans as bis, but gay men do
    [momocrome] bis, boys
    [momocrome] your use of the word guy a moment ago shoots that theory to hell
    [momocrome] men usually don't refer to boys as guys, see.
    [county] What do we refer to them as?
    [luisa||||] i'm a lass, right enough
    [momocrome] well, usually, asshole or bastard
    [momocrome] but otherewise, men or fellas
    [luisa||||] by sorting, i mean when they are round a girl they like, county
    [luisa||||] or girls they like
    [county] Oh, I ignore them too, luisa.
    [county] I have a system, and it works.
    [luisa||||] that makes no sense
    [luisa||||] how can they like you if you never let them?
    [county] Well, I don't see how that's any of my concern. I'm not required to accommodate people who might wish to like me.

    [county] Natalie Portman is a tart.
    [county] Although, I have to admit, I'd hit it.
    [luisa||||] she is pleasant enough
    [luisa||||] but i base that on her star wars two costumes
    [luisa||||] because i would steal nearly all of them for my own.
    [county] Sans tears, I should hope.
    [luisa||||] oh, aye
    [county] The only one I can really recall is the white one.
    [momocrome] i would take a tear encrusted costume from her
    [momocrome] I would make her cry.
    [county] You wouldn't, though.
    [county] You might permit yourself to briefly think about it while she bossed you around, I'll grant you that.
    *** momocrome is now known as vladequacy

    [county] You're not making much sense.
    [vladequacy] she'd weep at the sight of my ski mask!
    [vladequacy] no no no
    *** vladequacy is now known as momocrome
    [county] You (thankfully) haven't it in you.
    [momocrome] it is true
    [county] It might be fun to make luisa cry, but I'm sure it would require more time and effort than it's worth.
    [momocrome] it might be easy
    [county] You're right, it might be.
    [momocrome] just wisper to her every night about her shortcomings
    [county] Every night?
    [county] How many nights?
    [momocrome] and then set it up to say two or three keywords in a certain sequence to crush her will
    [county] See, that's what I meant by time.
    [momocrome] those would be nights spent next to her lithe figure, though
    [momocrome] not a waste, a benefit
    [county] You've an interesting idea about the female psyche, momocrome.
    [me0w] Night night
    [momocrome] night
    * momocrome fetches 'nother beer
    [county] OK, so I whisper the words, she cries, then what?
    [county] Can I grind her to dust and throw her into the wind?
    [momocrome] sure
    [momocrome] or change her being for the simple thrill
    [momocrome] mold her life to your whim
    [momocrome] whatever suits your fancy
    [momocrome] I am turning my girl into a goth
    [county] I thought she was to begin with.
    [momocrome] just cause she 'hates goths'
    [county] Or was she more a punk?
    [momocrome] well, she is goth-ish without admitting it
    [county] So you're not actually doing anything at all, just taking credit for a preexistent state of affairs.
    [momocrome] and somewhat punk. bitch is probably a better description
    [momocrome] heh
    [county] Or is that too much honesty?
    [county] I can tone it down, if you like.
    [momocrome] no. I have turned her around
    [momocrome] now, for example, she listens mostly to bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy
    [momocrome] in her car
    [momocrome] sheonce hit me with her fist for daring to suggest such dreadful music!
    [momocrome] bah
    [momocrome] tastes change
    [momocrome] I can't honestly take credit for it
    [county] She hit you with her fist?
    [county] And you tolerated it!?
    [momocrome] why not?
    [momocrome] it is well within my threshold to tolerate
    [county] It's quite disrespectful.
    [momocrome] she is 'spunky' like that
    [momocrome] she throws things at walls
    [momocrome] slams doors
    [momocrome] hangs up on people
    [county] Sounds like my sister, of whom I am not particularly fond.
    [luisa||||] heh
    [momocrome] is your sister self absorbed and tempermental?
    [luisa||||] you couldn't make me cry that way, county
    [luisa||||] emotional torture is bad form and doesn't really work
    [momocrome] my GF is not self absorbed or tempermental
    [momocrome] she is obstinate and hysterical
    [momocrome] hmm
    [momocrome] maybe I am drunk?
    [county] luisa, I would make you cry somehow.
    [momocrome] the fastest road to this destination is with puppy murder
    [momocrome] get a puppy, let her fawn over it a bit, then hack its' head clean off
    [county] I will make you cry, I do so swear.
    [luisa||||] nah, you cannot
    [momocrome] it is how the Nazis trained their officers
    [luisa||||] i don't always know why i cry
    [luisa||||] but i do know boys aren't able to make it happen
    [county] I don't care how long I have to employ arcane magic and technology to keep us both alive, but I will make you cry.
    [county] Even if I must delight you, bore you, torture you, romance you, shun you, and pleasure you for tens of thousands of years, I will succeed.
    [luisa||||] nope, you'll not
    [county] We'll see who has the last laugh.
    [luisa||||] hehe.
    [county] That was a laugh, sure, but was it the last?
    [county] Haha!
    [county] Apparently not.
    [luisa||||] hoho!
    [county] Oh stop, you.
    [luisa||||] certainement, chere
    [momocrome] county, luisa||||, I hate to mention this
    [county] Yet you're going to anyway?
    [county] Why, I wonder?
    [momocrome] but if those pics floating around of luisa|||| are accurate
    [momocrome] she is my ideal woman
    [county] Well, which ones?
    [momocrome] i am compelled to finally mention it
    [momocrome] by way of booze
    [county] She doesn't actually look like a monkey, if those are the ones you're thinking of.
    [momocrome] do you suppose those are the ones to which I refer?
    [momocrome] I am probably just grasping at any outlet though
    [county] Well, are you talking about the ones of a topless young black girl with a tattoo?
    [momocrome] she was wearing a nice dress in the photos I saw
    [momocrome] don't recall toplessness
    [momocrome] bc had them on his server
    [county] The topless girl with the tattoo isn't luisa.
    [county] There are some ones of the real luisa wearing scandelously short dresses and skirts, though.
    [momocrome] those are probably the ones I am thinking of
    [county] OK.
    [county] Well, get in line, buddy.
    [momocrome] no prob'
    [momocrome] i already have a girl, after all
    [county] Yes, rub that in.
    [county] Son of a bitch!
    [luisa||||] yeah, i notice that about guys
    [luisa||||] they find me quite attractive
    [momocrome] and a bunch of airline miles!
    [luisa||||] but at the end of the day, i haven't got them as boyfriends
    [luisa||||] some less hot chick does
    [momocrome] I can even upgrade to first class en route to Houston
    [luisa||||] what's up with that?
    [county] God damn you, luisa.
    [county] bc took me off the access list, and I know it's your fault.
    [momocrome] you'd have your pick in Seattle
    [luisa||||] bc loves you
    [luisa||||] no i wouldn't
    [luisa||||] they wouldn't even talk to me
    [county] He thinks I'm tempermental, untrustworthy, and fiery, though.
    [luisa||||] just stare and smile some
    [county] He doesn't think I'm fit to hold power.
    [luisa||||] well, you are at that
    [momocrome] well, if either qpt or I saw you on the bus, we'd both make our moves
    [luisa||||] pfft
    [luisa||||] well, i know qp is a doll
    [momocrome] I am a Viking Warlord of a doll
    [luisa||||] but i only like blond things for sport
    [county] I'm not sure I'd recognize luisa.
    [luisa||||] and qp is blonde
    [county] I'm not.
    [luisa||||] well, you should be
    [momocrome] sure, shoot me down already.
    [momocrome] :(
    [luisa||||] next you'll be telling me you're not attractive, either
    [momocrome] I might be as handsome as Yanni!
    [luisa||||] and that you aren't a boy at all.
    [county] I could say all of that.
    [county] Have, at one point or another.
    [luisa||||] so you are a girl?
    [county] No, I'm not, sadly.
    [luisa||||] a pity
    [luisa||||] i like girls for sport well enough
    [county] What sort of sport?
    [momocrome] that's itg.
    [momocrome] dammit
    [momocrome] I have a hangnail all bandaged up
    [momocrome] disrupts the typing
    [luisa||||] what a night
    [momocrome] you scoff.
    [luisa||||] i chose irc and light reading and 80s music at home over 80s music in a club and loads of pointless drinking
    [momocrome] but I tried to proclaim my love
    [luisa||||] eh, you are drunqk and claimed
    [luisa||||] and also non-local
    *** ubu_away has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 360 seconds)
    [county] I tried to proclaim my love, too.
    [luisa||||] you are also drunk and non-local
    [luisa||||] also, i have no idea what you look like
    [county] You are so shallow!
    [county] And you do know. bc showed you a picture.
    [county] I asked him and he confirmed.
    [luisa||||] i have no idea what picture
    [county] I looked for it the other day, it wasn't online anymore.
    [luisa||||] a shame
    [county] It was a poor picture, anyway.
    [county] I've gotten better looking in my twenties. I was quite pleased.
    [luisa||||] well, it's no matter to me
    [county] Yes it is. You prefer not to look at ugly pictures.
    [luisa||||] you are either pasty faced dork or rather decent looking
    [county] Everyone does.
    [luisa||||] i shall never know which
    * county gets an idea.
    [county] If I were really pasty and really dorky, might you be brought to tears at the sight of me?
    [luisa||||] no.
    [luisa||||] else i'd weep daily
    [luisa||||] just from walking around and about
    [county] What's your opinion of ubu's picture?
    [county] I was rather surprised.
    [county] I'm not convinced it's him.
    [luisa||||] if that is him, goddamn
    [luisa||||] that's really it.
    [county] And to think, he's been hitting on li'l ol' me!
    [county] I feel flattered.
    [luisa||||] heheh
    [luisa||||] the thing is though
    [luisa||||] it would be totally typical for a boy like him to look like that
    [county] How do you mean?
    [momocrome] http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/zones/reviews/ pc/jul01/legendsMM01.jpg
    [luisa||||] i knew a guy similar in personality to him online
    [momocrome] images fdrom a game I made
    [luisa||||] the guy was so cagey about his appearance
    [luisa||||] but he was super fucking gorgeous
    [luisa||||] but also an invalid recluse who resided on his parents' estate
    [luisa||||] i miss him sometimes
    [county] haha! So you've mistaken my own hesitance to give out a picture for attractiveness.
    [county] That's amusing.
    [luisa||||] in your case, no
    [county] You have to realize that most people who don't want to be seen simply do it out of ugliness.
    [luisa||||] i was speaking of ubu's image that he chose to pony up
    [luisa||||] nearly all the cagey guys i have met first online were superhot
    [luisa||||] they just felt they lacked appeal
    [county] I know that you were talking about ubu, but I was noting that it explained your somewhat bizarre notions about me.
    [luisa||||] k5 has unfortunately shown me the more homely-ass end of the spectrum
    [county] I don't know why you can't accept me as I am :(
    [luisa||||] i haven't any idea what you am
    [luisa||||] as in other areas of my life, i was horribly spoilt in my early online experiences
    [luisa||||] pretty much everyone was very physically attractive, and also fun to hang out with offline
    [luisa||||] mostly the people i get along with best online are also physically attractive
    [momocrome] county's eyes arent gray.
    [luisa||||] not every time, but 9/10
    [momocrome] they are green-brown
    [luisa||||] don't taunt, momo ;p
    [momocrome] mine are gray.
    [luisa||||] green-brown is one of my favourite colours for eyes
    [momocrome] also, I can track raccoon by the merest trace of their spoor
    [luisa||||] grey can be interesting, but depends on the lad
    [luisa||||] i am sure that is very nice.
    [county] My eyes are green-brown. I've medium brown hair, and I'm caucasian, but with a fair amount of Iberian blood in me.
    [momocrome] gray is the premium eye colour. don't fool yourself.
    [luisa||||] pfft
    [luisa||||] well, you sound pretty enough
    [momocrome] Iberian isn't caucasian?
    [luisa||||] if the boys i have known like that are anything to go on
    [momocrome] I suppose it is moorish mixed
    [momocrome] I am norse.
    [county] momocrome is also fat.
    [momocrome] bah!
    [county] A big, fat viking.
    [county] With a braided beard.
    [luisa||||] haha
    [county] He pillaged his bride from a nearby village.
    [county] ^ Poetry.
    [luisa||||] haha
    [luisa||||] i am a sexy bitch who wishes boys liked her in a long term relationship way
    [momocrome] I have been with my GF for 3 years 11 months
    [momocrome] I have staying power
    [luisa||||] yes, for her
    [county] luisa, never trust a guy who leaves someone to be with you.
    [luisa||||] i want a superhot boy who is clever
    [luisa||||] and who wants me for a long time
    [momocrome] well, since we haven't married, perhaps we need to move on now.
    [luisa||||] i quite despair of ever attaining that
    [county] You just don't strike me as the committing type, luisa.
    [luisa||||] since bc is my evil twin
    [momocrome] bc would marry you
    [luisa||||] we could never marry, or even date, even when i am in scotland
    [luisa||||] we could probably hang out some
    [luisa||||] but anything more wouldn't even make sense at this point
    [county] You seem too self-absorbed to be faithful. Faithfulness, though the rough spots, requires a real selflessness, and you don't appear to exhibit that. That's not to say that you couldn't be selfless, I have no idea. You don't seem it, though.
    [luisa||||] i am very self-contained
    [luisa||||] it has been a source of stress in every really serious thing with a guy
    [luisa||||] also i have no tolerance for idiocy
    [county] Guys are used to women being somewhat unreserved in their expressions of emotion. Maybe your aloofness is mistaken for lack of interest.
    [momocrome] or frigidity
    [county] Aye.
    [luisa||||] well, i am warm enough in physical aspects
    * em is back
    [luisa||||] i just am cold outside physical expressions of intimacy
    [luisa||||] hullo, em
    [em] wrote another conference abstract, forgot to have dinner.
    [luisa||||] korean
    [county] The physical aspect isn't enough, though.
    [luisa||||] man, because of you, the girls at the restaurant think i've been to korea
    [em] who, me?
    [luisa||||] because i can say all the dishes correctly
    [county] It would just make you seem sluttish.
    [em] bibimbap dolsat?
    [em] kimchi?
    [luisa||||] oh, there's loads of other things besides those
    [em] those are all I know, so don't blame me, dammit

As a dedicated felcher, cocksmoker, rimmer, and sodomite, Dr. Scott (PhD) is well qualified to answer any questions you might have. Unless your question involves females, in which case he'll have no clue. Please restrict your questions to his medical specialty, the field of homocology.

If you require confidentiality or don't want to post in a public forum, then e-mail your questions to lockwood@pediatrician.com. Confidentiality is guaranteed.

    Our first question comes from a Mr. Peter "Shoeboy" Johnson in Utah.

    Dear Dr. Scott (PhD):

    I've been sucking cock for quite a few years now, and I've always wanted to take the plunge into the world of the anus, but I'm afraid. I've nevar done anything like this before. Can you give me a quick introduction to anal sex, and tell me how I can get started "riding teh Hershey Highway"?

    Love,
    Shoeboy


    Editor's Note:
    Excellent question, Peter! Thanks for writing in! It's good to see thriving homosexual communities all around the country. Just watch out for all those Mormons in Salt Lake City: I hear that the penalty for Sodomy in your state is still death by firing squad. Don't get caught!

    I passed your question along to the good doctor, and he replies...

    Dear Shoeboy:

    Absolutely. I was never interested in men's assholes until about four years ago, and suddenly I started thinking about them more and more. Here's the deal: If you want to have anal sex with a boy, there's no quicker way to it than to show him how turned on you are by licking and fingering his ass.

    I don't always go there right away, but if you've had sex with a boy a couple times, and you haven't tried already, while you're doing him, reach around and gently rub his asshole with your finger, in a circular motion. If you're shy about it, just reach around like you're grabbing his ass-cheeks and make sure you reach far enough to 'accidentally' touch his anus with one of his fingers. If you hear him moan louder, you're set. Rub that asshole a little, and then ease the tip of your finger in there. This is even more effective if you look deeply in his eyes while you do it. I've only had one boy stop me dead in my tracks because it was a turn off for him.

    Once you know he likes having his asshole touched, you can ease a finger in during oral sex, maybe two. If he's responding even more favorably, I'll just look up and say very seriously, "Oh god, baby, I want to lick your asshole." At this point, some boys will even roll right over and stick their ass in the air, ready for you to star licking. The key here is to act like you love licking that ass even more than you loved eating his cock. Don't worry, it tastes a little strange at first, but it's not that bad, especially if it's a nice, clean hairless one. Keep licking his ass and slide a finger or two in. It's a good idea to get a couple fingers in there, because it relaxes them for anal sex. The fingers in the ass are especially beneficial if they've never done it before, because it wont hurt so much when you slide it in their ass.

    If you've gotten this far, it's not uncommon for a boy to beg for you to put it in his ass after you've been licking it for a few minutes. I've had a few anal virgins do this, one of them didn't even realize he liked to have his asshole stimulated until he met me.

    Now, it's not for every boy, you'll be reading the signs as you go from one stage to the next. If you don't get the requisite non-verbal encouragement from them, just slow down, maybe try again later. Some boys are a bit weirded out at first if they've never had guys fingering/licking their asshole, and it will take them a while to get used to the idea that someone would actually want to do that. Don't mistake their 'weirded-outness' in this case with a dislike for anal stimulation. Once you've proven over time that you really do enjoy it, they'll relax and let themselves enjoy it too. Some boys are all right with kissing you afterwards, but make sure to assume that they wont want to. He'll let you know one way or the other.

    Regardless of how you get there, there are few things in life that are as beautiful as bringing an anal virgin, or any boy for that matter, to the point where he's begging you with all his heart to fuck him in the ass.

  74. Email needs an overhaul by artemis67 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    The problem is that email has essentially remained unchanged since... well, since ever. Unlike HTML was given over to a standards board, and has evolved from its humble beginnings, and has been enhanced universally through technologies like JavaScript, Flash, Java, et. al.

    I think the spam problem is only one part of the email issue. Other issues might be that email messages are completely unsecure, and there is no authentication/validation of the sender.

    A number of people have been saying it, and a whitelist server system seems to be the way to go. A signature key, such as in PGP, seems to be a good start, but PGP isn't a whitelist system. You also run into the problem in whitelist servers of not being able to receive the unsolicited mails that you really, really want to receive (like the email from the headhunter who wants to offer you $20k more than you're making now).

    At the risk of speaking blasphemy here, I'd suggest a whitelist server system that charged a postage on unsolicited emails of 10 cents, and the recipient has the option to accept or reject the fee. For every fee the recipient accepts, the ISP also gets a cut for their trouble, to encourage adoption of whitelist servers.

    Of course, any solution that doesn't have universal adoption won't deter anyone. Spam is the symptom, there should be a consortium to deal with the root problems.

    No, that's no good either. As it stands, "post as AC" is good for making contributions that are important but punished by the capricious whims of moderators (and is currently the only option for people who want to post something at 0 instead of defaulting to 1). It doesn't stop the ones intent on posting crap; if anything, it forces them to go into a separate "post nothing but crap" mode, where they would proceed to post, you guessed it, lots of crap.

    One compromise that I wouldn't mind so much (but which Taco wouldn't implement) is an option for posting at 0 under one's username but not having negative moderation affect one's karma in that mode. Alternatively, there could just be an option for posting at 0 without the karma aspect, but while that'd be much easier to code and sounds like a good idea, it is itself subject to an enormous abuse: karmawhoring at the 0 level -- stuff that is halfway decent would be netting karma just by modding up to 1. That could be fixed by having only moderation above 1 affect total karma, but that's another level of complexity that Rob probably doesn't want.

  79. Vlad - Official Position by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It is time to set the record straight regarding the situation with respect
    to Vladinator/JCB/Reza/Lonesome Cowboy Burt/Whatever other aliases he may be
    using. The situation has been confused due to the recent world-wide influx
    of Vlad-haters, helper-cells, interested third parties and the occasional
    Vlad sympathizer.

    Let us start with a basic tenet of the Association of Anti-Vlad Avengers:
    There is no difference between William Scott Lockwood III and those who
    aid him, give him comfort, and/or use him as a substandard, "Always Save"
    hosting solution.
    Though we may have no direct quarrel with you, Mr. "Trollaxor",
    you appear to be friendly with Mr. Lockwood and - by your own admission - are
    using him as a substandard "Always Save" hosting solution. Consider the fact
    that if you were using a respectable host for your web site, you would not be
    having the difficulties you are having now. Also, with this attempt at
    ferreting out information for Mr. Lockwood, you are aiding and abetting our
    sworn enemy and have aligned yourself in direct oposition to a powerful
    internet force (that is, the AAA and its splinter groups).

    This brings us to a primary characteristic of the AAA which has
    been detailed elsewhere, but which I will repeat here in interest of
    completeness: no single cell, as an entity, is aware of the members of
    any other cell.
    The structure of our association works as follows. Each
    cell is composed of no more and no less than three members who all reside in
    a roughly similar geographic area. One of the three members is designated
    as a messenger. This messenger is the only member in contact with a messenger
    from exactly two other cells. In this way, the members of each cell remain
    anonymous to the members of any other cell. If a messenger has been compromised,
    the corresponding cell is responsible for "cleansing" that messenger and
    replacing him or her with a new messenger. Such a cell will remain on
    probation - meaning they will only be allowed contact with a single other
    cell - until such time as the new messenger has been operating for no less
    than six months.

    Our activities are clandestine and even if another cell wanted to
    share the information you request, it would not be able to because it
    would not be privy to said information.

    As you can see the AAA, though very loosely connected, operates
    in a highly efficient manner and is deadly serious about the stated goals
    of the organization: namely, the complete, unconditional eradication of
    Vladinator, in any and all forms, from the internet.

    We have been following the current situation with Vladinator's hosting
    service quite closely and we estimate the damages to be severe at this point.
    However, we cannot agree to end our champaign any sooner than already decided
    upon. We may have shown mercy in this, our second major attack, if Mr.
    Lockwood had shown the proper degree of humility at our hands. Instead,
    Mr. Lockwood responded with his usual barrage of
    lies
    and vitriol.
    For this reason, and the fact that we are otherwise bored, we have extended the
    length of this attack. We realize that Mr. Lockwood's hosting company will try
    various tricks to deflect our attack, things such as firewalls and IP banning. Eventually,
    they will succeed in eliminating the current attack at which point we will rest for
    a period of not less than seven days prior to initiating another attack.

    We predict that the end of this second wave will result in another round of
    cockiness from Mr. Lockwood, given the highly reactionary character that he is.
    The next attack, which will be the "third wave", will be far more subtle than the
    current attack and will undoubtedly shake Mr. Lockwood's faith in his current
    alliances and dealings. This cycle of attack/end attack/Lockwood gets cocky/
    attack again is necessary to wear down Mr. Lockwood's self-confidence and
    general desire for continued existence.

    As for the fate of Trollaxor.com, I would suggest you find a more suitable,
    respectable host for your web site. Had you chosen your hosting solution more
    wisely to begin with, you would not find yourself in the same sinking ship with
    the rest of Lockwood's "customers". We would also like to remind you that it
    is not we who are the enemy, it is William Scott Lockwood III who has
    brought this upon himself and those who do business with him.
    Yes, our attacks

  84. By MV - Why Scott Lockwood Sucks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    As quite possibly the only member of the old-school Slashdot trolls to ever actually attempt a serious and meaningful conversation with Mr. Lockwood (it worked, briefly), I feel compelled to comment on this.

    That Geekizoid is an inanity is beyond dispute. That it is what it is almost entirely because of Mr. Lockwood is also beyond dispute. That Mr. Lockwood has, furthermore, contributed substantially to the deterioration of every site to which he has ever posted, save only those which were beyond redemption before he ever saw them (a category which arguably includes Slashdot), I will not dispute. That all of this, along with the other charges leveled against him, proves that Mr. Lockwood sucks, I will not dispute.

    The real question behind all this, though, is not whether Mr. Lockwood sucks, but why Mr. Lockwood sucks. One might say that it does not matter, noting, by analogy, that one does not psychoanalyze a rabid dog, but instead simply puts it out of its misery. But it does matter, for in his own odd and frightening way, Scott Lockwood is Everyman. If you do not understand him, you do not understand anyone, probably including yourself.

    Everyone, seemingly, detests Mr. Lockwood. Given that he had been married four times before he turned 30, this "everyone" may well include three ex-wives (last I heard, we're still waiting for his inevitable fourth divorce). From various anecdotes he has let drop over the years, there are a variety of real-life acquaintances, co-workers, and blood relatives in this category as well. So clearly, this is not just an online phenomenon; Mr. Lockwood is not a caring, sensitive man who lets off steam late at night by flaming people on weblogs. He is like this all the time. It is not a pose. It is the real Scott Lockwood, at 200 proof.

    Mr. Lockwood himself is not unaware of this. He knows (and wishes it were not so) that dislike follows him around like the odor of alcohol trails after a drunk. But he has no idea why this is so. He knows it has to do with his abrasive and temperamental demeanor; he knows that his argumentative and self-righteous comments, and his complaints of being mistreated, win him no friends. But the connection between the cause and the effect, and the difference between his conduct and most other people's, escapes him. He has given up hope of understanding or improving the situation; he expects that it will continue, without change, for the rest of his life.

    Mr. Lockwood does not understand that all of these things are symptomatic of a malaise that underlies his entire life. It is a condition that he was very nearly born with, and one which victimizes nearly all people to some degree. Most of us are not nearly as bad off as Mr. Lockwood; but there are some that have much more severe cases than him. Many rapists, murderers, and other violent criminals fall into that latter category. But even those of us who merely think ourselves better or smarter than everyone else, or who consider ourselves fit to decide what is right for everyone else, or who mock others for what they believe, are victims of this condition to some degree. I include myself in this; I do not claim (yet) to be speaking from a perspective completely outside the state of disease.

    Mr. Lockwood's problem, to put it simply, is that he perceives the universe to be antagonistic to him. He has divided the universe into Self and Other, and decided that these two are eternal antagonists. Everything is his enemy; every action that anyone takes (other than to praise him), he perceives as some sort of attack, and he retaliates accordingly. He is convinced, although probably only subconsciously, that his life is a war in which he stands alone against all the forces of the universe. It is, in essence, the ultimate in paranoia.

    As I wrote above, nearly everyone shares this condition to some extent. Many serial killers operate on the principle that, life being a never-ending battle that they will ultimately lose, they should take as many of the "enemy" with them as they can before they fall. But even ordinary people mostly act on analogous principles. Many people exploit the world around them in destructive or insensitive ways, or mistreat their fellow humans needlessly. This is all a consequence of defining the Other as an enemy; and this, in turn, is based on the fundamental error of dividing the universe into Self and Other.

    What we all (Mr. Lockwood included) should strive for is an end to this division, which is really only a matter of mental habits, not an a priori property of existence. It derives from the infant's perception that part of what he perceives obeys his will and sends him sensory input (Self), and the rest does not (Other). The antagonism between these two hypothesized entities derives from the instinctive desire on the child's part to impose his will on everything; Other does not do what he wants, and is therefore the enemy. And so the infant makes the fundamental error that haunts him, in most cases, for the rest of his life.

    This is what makes Mr. Lockwood tick. It is probably also what makes you tick. Think about that carefully before flaming him simply because his case is a bit worse than yours -- if indeed you are better off.

    Which just sounds like he's dicking around with vlad. But in the other emails, the tone changes to "and do not listen to vladinator, there is no telling what he might do." and "but DO NOT listen to vladinator!! the man is pure evil"

    When I myself (with gbd's permission) dicked around with Vlad for trying to steal gbd's account by successfully impersonating gbd to Vlad (just to confuse Vlad, mostly), gbd replied:

    which sounds like it'll be fun.

    Today was the appointed date for jury duty (postponed since this summer, since the idiots at the courthouse failed to divine that calling a student to duty in the county where he studies rather than resides permanently doesn't make any sense). It was my hope to get on a jury, since I highly value the (unconstitutionally diminishing) role of the jury in American jurisprudence.

    I showed up this morning at the courthouse. After some buffoonery at the security check (hint: don't carry a cpu in your backpack when arriving for jury duty), I went upstairs where I signed in and was informed that I had already missed the video (shucks). I filled out some paperwork and was redirected to the grand-jury room.

    This was a potential mixed blessing. Grand juries, as distinguished from petite ("normal") juries, are the first line that the state must cross before obtaining an indictment for the accused. They consist of 23 laypersons whose standard is "probable cause" rather than "reasonable doubt" and vote by majority rule whether to issue an indictment. The prosecutor presents his witnesses and evidence, and the defendant has no representation. Normally, the grand-jury trial is brief and 99% or so of all grand juries return an indictment. Prosecutors often refer to this statistic as the "ability to indict a ham sandich" if they so please. Grand juries usually sit for one day per week for three months, something that would screw up any student's semester.

    The good thing about grand juries is that they have almost infinite investigatory powers to do whatever they please. What is not commonly understood is that the role of the grand jury isn't just to return a verdict in the form of an indictment; it's for members to question witnesses, subpoena evidence the prosecutor didn't present, and generally get the whole story. It's even within the power of the grand jury to expell the prosecutor and judge if the jury so decides.

    I was prepared to give them hell. Once on a jury
    (grand or otherwise), I was going to be the asshole
    lawyer the defendant isn't allowed to have. I was
    going to subpoena bank records, grill prosecutorial
    witnesses, and vote to nullify anything I considered
    unjust (even when "legal"). I was going to persuade
    enough fellow jurors to kick out anyone we didn't
    like, especially the prosecutor. In short, I was
    going to troll the legal system.

    But I didn't get that opportunity. After an hour of
    sitting in the grand-jury room, we were informed that
    we weren't waiting for a grand-jury seating: instead,
    a petite-jury seating.

    Petite juries, in states that value the constitution,
    are 12-person panels that sit and hear evidence in the
    actual criminal trial. Their role is ostensibly to
    decide the facts and apply the law as directed by the
    judge. Their actual role under the constitution
    (though the Supreme Court doesn't require that you be
    informed of this) is to sit in judgment not just on
    the facts but also on the law. Again, I was hoping to
    get a chance to nullify stuff: this time, drug laws
    and other things I believe unconstitutional.

    Again, I was denied. Only five minutes later, we were
    informed that all the cases pending today were
    plea-bargained, and we were "free to go". A sigh of
    relief was heard throughout the room, as people who
    didn't want to be there were grateful that they didn't
    have to serve on a jury and perform the duty they
    didn't want to perform. I was disgusted.

    That's what's most wrong with plea bargaining in this
    country. Not that 90% of cases never reach public
    scrutiny because they're decided in the hallways of
    courthouses. Not that people serve penalties for
    unconstitutional charges. Not that real criminals get
    off with reduced sentences. Not that the legislatures
    feel free to pass an absurd number of laws without
    caring whether the court system can handle the load of
    giving each citizen true justice.

    None of that.

    What's wrong is that I, a troll, have been kept off my
    damn jury. No respect.

For that, you either are required to hold multi-annual pledge drives like public television stations do, or you're forced to rely on advertisement revenue. The viewers of your station pay exactly nothing for the priveledge of watching your channels.

    It is time to set the record straight regarding the situation with respect
    to Vladinator/JCB/Reza/Lonesome Cowboy Burt/Whatever other aliases he may be
    using. The situation has been confused due to the recent world-wide influx
    of Vlad-haters, helper-cells, interested third parties and the occasional
    Vlad sympathizer.

    Let us start with a basic tenet of the Association of Anti-Vlad Avengers:
    There is no difference between William Scott Lockwood III and those who
    aid him, give him comfort, and/or use him as a substandard, "Always Save"
    hosting solution.
    Though we may have no direct quarrel with you, Mr. "Trollaxor",
    you appear to be friendly with Mr. Lockwood and - by your own admission - are
    using him as a substandard "Always Save" hosting solution. Consider the fact
    that if you were using a respectable host for your web site, you would not be
    having the difficulties you are having now. Also, with this attempt at
    ferreting out information for Mr. Lockwood, you are aiding and abetting our
    sworn enemy and have aligned yourself in direct oposition to a powerful
    internet force (that is, the AAA and its splinter groups).

    This brings us to a primary characteristic of the AAA which has
    been detailed elsewhere, but which I will repeat here in interest of
    completeness: no single cell, as an entity, is aware of the members of
    any other cell.
    The structure of our association works as follows. Each
    cell is composed of no more and no less than three members who all reside in
    a roughly similar geographic area. One of the three members is designated
    as a messenger. This messenger is the only member in contact with a messenger
    from exactly two other cells. In this way, the members of each cell remain
    anonymous to the members of any other cell. If a messenger has been compromised,
    the corresponding cell is responsible for "cleansing" that messenger and
    replacing him or her with a new messenger. Such a cell will remain on

    Outside of the core group , there are supporters,
    wellwishers, and fellow Vlad haters who share one binding aspect
    with us (disdain for Vladinator), but who aren't officially
    affiliated with us. Thus, we do not form a "gang" or any other
    recognizable command structure.

    There many, many people in the world who dislike Lockwood; some
    have formed into small groups to work together, but most act as free
    agents. We don't really know the identities of many people outside
    our core group, nor do we know whether a given person
    outside our core group is a free agent or is affiliated
    with another group.

    These activities are by nature clandestine and solitary, thus we
    only work freely with allies we've met in meatspace and can trust
    absolutely. I have no idea of the exact number of fellow Vlad-haters
    out there (I know it's large), or whether or not any of them have
    formed cabals similar to our own, so please don't go lumping us all
    together.

    Generally, we operate in clusters or "cells" where one member of
    one cell is designated as a messenger with a similarly designated
    member of another cell. If the designated messenger is discovered,
    that individual is "disposed of" and another individual is selected.

    In this way, no single cell is aware of how many members are in
    any other cell and the only thing known of the membership of other
    cells is the mutual identities of the messengers. Each cell is
    constructed such that only the messenger from one other cell
    is in contact with the messenger of any given cell. Therefore, we
    cannot form a "gang" as you call it.

    cluster of antibodies reacting to a foreign body in order to prevent
    it from damaging the host."

    It is time to set the record straight regarding the situation with respect
    to Vladinator/JCB/Reza/Lonesome Cowboy Burt/Whatever other aliases he may be
    using. The situation has been confused due to the recent world-wide influx
    of Vlad-haters, helper-cells, interested third parties and the occasional
    Vlad sympathizer.

    Let us start with a basic tenet of the Association of Anti-Vlad Avengers:
    There is no difference between William Scott Lockwood III and those who
    aid him, give him comfort, and/or use him as a substandard, "Always Save"
    hosting solution.
    Though we may have no direct quarrel with you, Mr. "Trollaxor",
    you appear to be friendly with Mr. Lockwood and - by your own admission - are
    using him as a substandard "Always Save" hosting solution. Consider the fact
    that if you were using a respectable host for your web site, you would not be
    having the difficulties you are having now. Also, with this attempt at
    ferreting out information for Mr. Lockwood, you are aiding and abetting our
    sworn enemy and have aligned yourself in direct oposition to a powerful
    internet force (that is, the AAA and its splinter groups).

    This brings us to a primary characteristic of the AAA which has
    been detailed elsewhere, but which I will repeat here in interest of
    completeness: no single cell, as an entity, is aware of the members of
    any other cell.
    The structure of our association works as follows. Each
    cell is composed of no more and no less than three members who all reside in
    a roughly similar geographic area. One of the three members is designated
    as a messenger. This messenger is the only member in contact with a messenger
    from exactly two other cells. In this way, the members of each cell remain
    anonymous to the members of any other cell. If a messenger has been compromised,
    the corresponding cell is responsible for "cleansing" that messenger and
    replacing him or her with a new messenger. Such a cell will remain on
    probation - meaning they will only be allowed contact with a single other
    cell - until such time as the new messenger has been operating for no less
    than six months.

    Our activities are clandestine and even if another cell wanted to

    I'd been thinking along the lines of hiding usernames during moderation, if nothing else than to help us trolls with recognizable usernames who get unfair moderation simply for being trolls in general than just on a particular post. I can see several0 problems, though:

    1) It won't stop the most dedicated of trollbusters who will keep a separate window open as AC where they can see people's usernames. These are the moderators who most need to be stopped, and yet this restriction won't do so.

    2) It will add a social cost to moderating itself. People might just start throwing their points at crap just to get back to normal mode where they can see who's talking. But it could cut both ways.

    3) It'll increase the amount of noisy replies screaming: "Moderators! Don't you realize streetlawyer/flatpack/etc. is the one saying this?!?!?!" We don't need that.

    4) You'd have to hide .sig files as well. Not a big deal.

    *** bc (gallus@modem-3080.monkey.dialup.pol.co.uk) has joined #adequacy
    [bc] hello
    [me0w] Hi bc
    [bc] hellow me0wsy
    * bc was just in the pub
    [bc] and you know what?
    [me0w] What?
    [bc] a woman in her late forties started coming onto me something dreadful
    [bc] unlike some, I wasn't in the least tempted
    [me0w] Ahhh ... So you had no Mr.Buck temptations ..
    [bc] certainly not :)
    [me0w] Well done!
    [bc] it's not a great achievement, I think these things are in your nature.
    [bc] Either you adore OAP's, or you don't.
    [bc] cool
    [bc] scotland beat south africa at the rugby!
    [me0w] I think though, in Mr. Buck's case, he may have been wearing some good quality Beer Goggles.
    [bc] that's a point. Still, I did have 3 pints, I wasn't entirely sober, but probably not as many Mr Buck. I think alcohol just decreases your reserve, it doesn't make you suddenly find things attractive you don't while sober
    [bc] I mean, if you wake up after a night out with a member of your own sex (for example), it prolly says something
    * bc has some prawns
    [me0w] This is why everyone needs a voice of reason when drinking. I take mine along whenever I am going to be consuming cast quantities of alcohol (the voice of reason is also known as the designated driver).
    [bc] hehe
    [me0w] cast = vast
    [bc] strange, I don't have problems. In fact, I reject much more impressively and fullsomely when drunk than when sober. I don't need no stinkin' voice of reason!
    [me0w] When I am intoxicated I run across a problem .... my tongue feels funny and I like to lick things (people). I need a voice of reason to keep me out of trouble.
    [bc] haha! I remember you mentioning this before. That's an awful affliction, though prolly pretty amusing
    [me0w] And apparently I become quite the mischevious girl and for this I also need the voice.
    [bc] to stop you mixing it up too much? Playing tricks and pranks
    [me0w] And the licking ...
    [bc] this makes you sound like quite the handful when pissed
    [me0w] A giggly handful, yes.
    [me0w] That's why I need a voice of reason.
    [bc] I don't think I'm too bad when drunk. In fact, I'm often the voice of reason for other people, despite that we have all drunk hideous amounts. I'm just the same as usual, but more exhuberantly, I suppose. I think I have a good head for booze by nature, that's prolly why
    [bc] mm that was tasty
    [bc] post-prandial smoke time
    [me0w] enjoy
    * bc wonders whether to watch "contact" on dvd, which he has, but hasn't watched, though he read the book years ago
    [bc] which I liked, I liked the way it was all about revelation, and its validity
    [bc] the woman in it was sort of like a hardcore kurobot at first, you know, utterly logical positivist and materialist and dismissive of anything that can't be proved utterly, of revelation, till it all comes back and bites her when she has her own revelatory experience
    [me0w] I don't think I have ever seen this film.
    [bc] it's supposed to be decent.
    [bc] I think a lot of people hated it, and another lot of people loved it
    [me0w] I will have to add it to my must see list of films.
    [bc] it's a sort of SF thing, in a way, and I think a lot of the people who disliked it were expecting some usual guns'n'aliens shite
    [me0w] I normally don't watch 'alien' movies.
    [bc] it's not really like that. The book wasn't at least. It's set present day
    [bc] they discover an alien signal
    [bc] this woman does
    [bc] and there's lots of politics and argument about it
    [bc] and she is hardcore rationalist and dismissive of the religious people
    [bc] but in the end, she ends up having an experience that everybody doubts she had, a revelation..

    [Captain_Tenille] Ahoy
    [Captain_Tenille] What goes on in these parts?
    * Captain_Tenille finally got some sleep last night
    [bc] You are admirably offensive; you have won. I am offended, many times over. Now please, leave me the fuck alone. --infinitera
    [Captain_Tenille] ?
    [bc] I am not admirably offensive
    * Captain_Tenille wades through the k5rap
    [me0w] There was nothing interesting on K5 this morning
    [Captain_Tenille] Nope. Doesn't look like it.
    [Captain_Tenille] Yawn
    [Captain_Tenille] All right, time to make breakfast, I think
    [Captain_Tenille] I may be on later.
    *** Captain_Tenille has quit IRC (Quit: Making breakfast)
    [me0w] they leave so quickly
    [bc] yes
    [me0w] I made coffee, but now I find I'm too lazy to go and pour it.
    [bc] Catch 22 then
    [bc] you need some caffeine to rouse you to pour it :\
    [me0w] I need to hire someone to make it for me.
    [me0w] But this person must agree to be paid in post-it notes as I have no funds.
    [me0w] My new site format seems to be coming along. I might actually like it.
    [bc] hehe
    * bc is writing a ranty comment
    [me0w] Will it be exciting?
    [bc] maybe if you like seeing infinitera being attacked, otherwise it's prolly not your thing
    [bc] it will be 0ed though, as usual, by him
    [bc] but shant be in the hidden wueue for long
    [me0w] I will give it a 5 if it is exciting
    [bc] yay

    [bc] there you go me0w
    [me0w] I am giving you a 5 for the number of words you used
    [bc] woohoo!
    [bc] I quite often start typing, and type and type and type in fury
    [bc] and I don't really attack him personally till towards the end
    [bc] infinitera is a twat
    [me0w] Well, I think the "I think you a cunt" might be a bit insulting
    [bc] it's possible ;)
    [me0w] For some anyway
    [me0w] I might take that as a compliment.
    [bc] I'd just laugh and respond in kind
    [bc] I don't understand the people who get so worked up about lack of civility on the internet
    [bc] it's all just a laugh
    [me0w] It is all for my amusement
    [bc] when ubu and I met, we were calling each other cunts immediately, and being dreadfully insulting. We knew instantly we liked the other
    [me0w] That is when you know it is true love.
    [bc] indeed. I don't love ubu like a brother, I love him like the homosexual partner I never had
    [me0w] I should send flowers to celebrate your relationship.
    [bc] that would be very nice of you. The anniversary is very soon, actually
    [me0w] Brilliant!

    [bc] hi, gurrrrl
    [gurl] hullo, you
    [me0w] Hello
    [gurl] christ i overslept
    [bc] what time is it where you are? 11:30?
    [gurl] twelve thirty
    [bc] damn firemen
    [bc] striking bastards, is what they are
    [bc] there was a housefire here, the soldiers had to break the picketlines, and 6 people were injured due to smoke inhallation. The firemen deliberately tried to stop the aid going out to the fire
    [me0w] That isn't good.
    [me0w] I can understand the strike, but preventing aid is not ethical.
    [bc] the fire service should be shut down and replaced with a nice big charity
    [bc] they get £21,000 as a starting wage, the firemen, which is well above the national average wage, After a few years, it rises considerably further, and they have already been offered an 11% raise and rejected it - they are going for 30% (!)
    [bc] for what? 99% of the time they are sitting about playing cards
    [me0w] 21,000 is far too little
    [bc] the fire service should be like the RNLI
    [bc] me0w, that's a starting wage for a newly qualified fireman
    [bc] the national average wage for everyone is £17,000
    [bc] this isn't a rich country like America, with its closer embrace of capitalism, where the national average is more like £30,000
    [me0w] I guess I just know people who make more than that.
    [me0w] I still think 21,000 is rather low
    [bc] £21,000 is perfectly decent as a starting wage
    [bc] nurses get £14,000, soldiers £16000, as starting wages
    [bc] policemen £17,000
    [me0w] Nurses should get more, as well as police men
    [me0w] The train people should get less.
    [bc] well, ideally I'm sure everybody would be getting £1,000,000 annually, but I'm not willing to see the government take more than half my earnings away to give to these people. If they don't want to work for those wages, they can switch to the private sector.
    [bc] and yes, the train sods especially suck
    [bc] they went on strike at glasgow underground forcing me to walk 6 miles through highly dodgy parts of glasgow in the rain
    [me0w] I think that there are certain professions that should be paid more ... firefighters, police, nurses, teachers
    [bc] I think it is fine, as long as the money isn't stolen by threat of violence off others to do so.
    [gurl] er, no.
    [bc] a free market would sort them out, it is only ever public sector workers that strike anyway.
    [gurl] nothing teachers do warrants more money
    [bc] they'd pay fairly
    [gurl] nurses get paid very well for their hours and labour
    [me0w] nurses are underpaid
    [gurl] at least, if the flooded nursing schools are any indication
    [bc] also, funnily enough teachers in scotland just got a 25% increase a couple of years ago. There is now a big "brain drain" of the best teachers from england to scotland. heh!
    [me0w] Which is why there are a shortage - they go places where they will be better paid
    [gurl] yes, and that is the hospital down the road
    [gurl] it is a highly paid but stressful job
    [gurl] not everyone can hack it
    [gurl] thus, the shortage
    [bc] here, all the best doctors and nurses go to America
    [bc] where they get paid decently
    [me0w] A large number of nursing students in Canada go to the US, and the Middle East - they are usually paid more than double what they make here
    [bc] we in turn import from India and scandinavia
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] but scanadinavia is supposed to be the perfect country!
    [gurl] all socialist paradise and whatnot
    [gurl] well, the countries in that region
    [bc] not judging by the delectable nurses at my local hospital, loads of whom are danish, norwegian, swedish
    [gurl] well, being raised socialist apparently doesn't kill the desire to earn a fair wage for services and all that
    [bc] norwegian especially, but I think that is because lots of norwegians come to scotland anyway, cos it is quite close
    [gurl] lord, i don't want to go bed shopping
    [bc] it certainly doesn't, gurl
    [bc] shopping in bed, or shopping for a bed?
    [gurl] for a bed
    [bc] get one that doesn't creak or have annoying springs
    [bc] the best bed I ever had was one that was a platform of wood planks, with a really thin mattress on top
    [bc] that thing was great
    [bc] prolly quite cheap, too
    [gurl] i just want a futon
    [bc] never tried one of those, are they good?
    [me0w] Get a sturdy futon
    [me0w] Over time the frame can bend
    [gurl] i was thinking a metal one
    [me0w] You'll want a thick mattress on it (if they give that option)
    [bc] cool
    * bc watches Only Fools and Horses
    [gurl] actually, i will go tomorrow since i cannot carry the sodding thing home with me
    [bc] hehe
    [gurl] i think i'll just take the bed frame from my old bed
    [gurl] and buy a new mattress
    [bc] heh. Sounds good

    [gurl] but utterly cold and crystal clear out
    [bc] I love that
    [bc] cold and clear
    [bc] and sunny
    [bc] perfect weather as far as I'm concerned
    [bc] gurl, how did it go with that chap?
    [gurl] he friend zoned me
    [bc] ah hah
    [bc] I did that to a girl week last week after a date. It's surprisingly hard. Requires delicacy
    [gurl] so i have a perfectly nice male friend
    [bc] well that's something at least
    [bc] I have a nice big fillet steak and some English mustard
    [gurl] i have a hearty beef stew
    [bc] oh splendid
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] i am reading about the french foreign legion
    [bc] oh yes. That's France's only *professional* section of the army eh?
    [bc] I know someone who served in it for 21 years
    [gurl] it is terribly intensive
    [bc] yes
    [bc] long marching through the desert and stuff
    [gurl] and no girls allowed!
    [bc] http://britishsas.8m.com/training.html
    [bc] ^I think that is about the globally hardest training&selection for any regiment
    [bc] they are insane
    [bc] as part of it, they have the applicant (after a week of insane marching and activity) look after a pet rabbit in the mountains for a while. he is completely alone, and must forage for his own food and protect the rabbit for ages. Then, he recieves an order to kill and eat the rabbit
    [bc] quite sadistic ;)
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] there's a kill house?!
    [bc] they are special forces
    [bc] anti-terrorist stuff is one of their duties
    [bc] storming embassies, say, like when they stormed the Iranian embassy and freed all the hostages in London in the 80's
    [bc] they were the first special forces unit in the world, created during WWII
    [gurl] lordy
    [bc] Delta Force in the US was founded in the 70's by an American officer who lobbied for it after seeing the SAS and serving in an exchange program in the UK army
    [bc] but they aren't as good. They have a slightly different ethos. Delta Force peeps tend to be really big and brawny, and their modus operandi is to be flown in on a big helicopter and shoot everything up before being flown away again
    [bc] the SAS are different, in that they believe in more traditional marching and approaching the target on foot. They tend to get dropped far away, sneak about hundreds of miles, attack, and sneak away. And they operate in teams of 8 generally
    [bc] http://home.hccnet.nl/22.sas/Operation%20Nimrod.ht ml
    [bc] ^that was mad
    [bc] I remember watching it on tv
    [gurl] so the sas do it properlike
    [gurl] well, more like people think such things work
    [bc] of course! ie, no hostage deaths, all terrorists dead, seemingly miraculously
    [bc] it's sort of amazing
    [bc] another famous one was the scud stuff during the gulf war
    [bc] one of their missions went wrong, they were given wrong maps
    [bc] and they were euipped for desert conditions, but it was frequently -20C and snowing etc
    [bc] and they got discovered and stormed by two lorry loads of iraqi tropps, tanks, etc, from a local base
    [bc] so the 8 of them killed ALL of them, then walked 100km overnight carrying 80lb bergens in freezing conditions
    [bc] they are sort of insane those people. Not qute normal, but very good at what they do (wholesale, efficient slaughter)

    [bc] and also, cos it is UK army, it is not just UKians, they select from many countries in the commonwealth
    [gurl] reminds me of stephen king's gunslinger
    [bc] so canadians and australians and NZers and Nepalians can see the SAS as the peak of their career, if they are good enough to make it through selection
    [Captain_Tenille] SAS?
    [bc] yes
    [gurl] british special forces
    [Captain_Tenille] Aha
    * Captain_Tenille always thought MI5 and MI6 were cool acronyms
    [bc] hehe
    [Captain_Tenille] Although for the longest time I thought it was M16
    [Captain_Tenille] Which seemed odd
    [bc] ct, during WWI it went from MI1 all the way to MI20
    [bc] also, MI5 & MI6 didn't officially exist until very recently
    [Captain_Tenille] I was just about to ask what happened to MI1-4
    [gurl] heh
    [bc] having no constitutional checks, the government is free to deny they exist at all
    [gurl] haha
    *** county (midas@cloaked.client.attbi.com) has joined #adequacy
    [gurl] oh look@
    [gurl] er, nevermind
    [Captain_Tenille] The US gov denied the existence of the NSA forever.
    [bc] same as SAS, which didn't officially exist till the 90's,, and is still v.secret
    [Captain_Tenille] I don't think they officially acknowledge the Delta Force
    [bc] the SAS are fun because they are the first special forces group, and most other western country's special forces groups were founded, usually much later, on that model, often by officers who saw the SAS in exchange programmes and thought it a jolly good idea
    [bc] Delta Force being a case in point, in the 70's. Same with Germany's, france's. Greece's, Israel's, etc etc
    [bc] but SAS are teh best!
    [gurl] it is impressive what humans can be taught to do
    [Captain_Tenille] Is SAS just Green Beret style special forces, or does it include PSYOPS and Civil Affairs type stuff
    [Captain_Tenille] ?
    [bc] that's the other thing with the SAS, the complete lack of traditional army discipline, which was very new
    [bc] ct: it is mostly military and anti-terrorist
    [bc] there is another group that specialises in civil intelligence
    [bc] that sometimes work with the SAS, but the SAS are purely a military machine
    [Captain_Tenille] Civil Affairs handles the military's relations with the governments of the countries they're in.
    [Captain_Tenille] Should said government fall, they set up a caretaker government in it's place.
    * Captain_Tenille 's dad did that for a long time
    [bc] coo
    [gurl] bc, my sibling is all rotting in the county jail
    [bc] haha
    [bc] what'd he do?
    [gurl] his warrant caught up to him
    [bc] damn
    [gurl] he owes about 400£ in fines
    [Captain_Tenille] I just found out yesterday, actually, what my dad did after he worked as a codebreaker during the Vietnam War.
    [county] bc, you've millions, get gurl's brother out of the clink.
    [bc] he deserves it, county
    [bc] Contributing to the skill of the SAS is the Operations Research Unit which develops unique equipment for use by the SP team.
    [county] That's beside the point. She'll be indebted to you.
    [bc] ^^hehe, that's like "m" in james bond
    [gurl] bc, he found a job
    [gurl] and now he will lose it
    [gurl] because of extended absence
    [bc] damn it
    [bc] what's he fined for?
    [Captain_Tenille] Aren't you guys going to ask what my dad did?
    [bc] isn't that classified, ct?
    [Captain_Tenille] He didn't tell me much.
    [gurl] speeding ticket, i think
    [Captain_Tenille] Just enough to make me boggle.
    [Captain_Tenille] zuul, he?
    [zuul] he is not
    [bc] but he was army, eh? mad
    [Captain_Tenille] Wouldn't tell me what he did
    [gurl] then why build us up so cruelly]?
    [Captain_Tenille] NSA. That's all we would say.
    [Captain_Tenille] er, he
    [county] Come on, bc, give her brother a chance.
    [county] He's trying to turn is life around!
    [county] He's in jail because of ancient history.
    [bc] you're right county. I will bail him right away.
    [county] Good man.
    [county] I'm sure gurl will be very grateful.
    [gurl] some woman is presently trying to adopt me
    [county] But you're too old for that.
    [bc] is she older, and with grown up children who have flown the nest?
    [gurl] yeah, pretty much
    [gurl] except her grown kids are still in the nest
    [county] And she wants more.
    [gurl] she thinks i'm a unique snowflake
    [gurl] and wants to feed and clothe me and all that
    [bc] weird, gurl
    [gurl] aye
    [bc] weird weird weird
    [gurl] and the annoying guy at work who kept trying to pay me to go out with him
    [county] So are you going to take her up on it?
    [gurl] he got in a horrible car wreck and was fired
    [gurl] she is rather like mother
    [gurl] except less manipulative and deceitful
    [county] Did he get fired for getting in the car wreck?
    [gurl] not quite
    [gurl] he was fired for trying to come back to work
    [gurl] with a broken neck
    [bc] he offered you money? heh, how desperate
    [gurl] well, he is married
    [gurl] and also i don't want him
    [gurl] but he just couldn't seem to accept that
    [bc] "Please come out with me?" - "No." - "I'll give you £500."
    [county] That's really harsh.
    [bc] it's damned right, gurl
    [county] He was so dedicated to his work that he wanted to come in, but he got fired instead!
    [bc] I'm proud of you!
    [county] Couldn't they just tell him to go home and sleep it off?
    [gurl] he got in the accident whilst drunk
    [gurl] and it was off duty anyhow
    [gurl] so they can easily get him on inability to perform
    [gurl] and he could hardly even sit down
    [gurl] the doctor hadn't signed a release
    [gurl] so however cruel it sounds, they had every reasonable right to fire him
    [county] Still, to be unemployed and mangled in these times is difficult. He'll probably end up on the street.
    [gurl] no, his wife is utterly devoted and loving
    [gurl] and makes piles of money
    [gurl] she wanted only to take care of him
    [county] He has a devoted wife who makes lots of money, but wants a little on the side too?
    [county] That seems risky.
    [gurl] but he wanted to go drinking and sleep with other women
    [county] I should find a rich, devoted wife.
    [county] Having one could be convenient.
    [gurl] it was the only thing that saved him
    [county] Some guys have all the luck.
    [bc] hehe
    [gurl] i am sure bc would happily arrange for you to acquire a wealthy wife
    [bc] it's true. There's a lucky sod I know who's wife is a civil engineer making tons of cash. All he does is footer about spending her money on computers and crap. They love each other very much and seem very happy. Sickening, it is.
    [county] Yeah, I need someone to take care of me!
    [county] I'm tired of being responsible.
    [bc] BRB, mobile shop
    [gurl] have a beer
    [gurl] actually, have five or six
    [county] What's a mobile shop?
    [county] Anyway, that's too many beers.
    [gurl] well, however many will intoxicate you
    [gurl] women like to help men in that state
    [county] Haha!
    [county] What nonsense.
    [county] Women hate drunks.
    [gurl] depends on the drunk boy
    [gurl] i find some of them endearing
    [bc] damn it's cold
    [county] Well, what do you expect? Your house was built before heat was invented
    [county] What's a mobile shop, though?
    [bc] I am an endearing drunk boy. My cold reserve melts away, revealing a vulnerable and heartbreakingly fascinating character. I find that women are much more interested in me when drunk, than when sober.
    [county] uh huh
    [bc] county, a shop on wheels that drives around selling things. It parks outside my front door
    [county] What sort of things?
    [bc] in this instance, I got dunhills and Irn Bru, and a bottle of Gin
    [county] So you've gone back to the bottle.
    [county] tsk tsk.
    [bc] all sorts, county. There are many of them, in fact. Soem are mobile butchers, others mobile grocers and fishmongers. This one sells everyday necessities
    [county] Like I said, though, some guys have all the luck. When sober, I'm undesirable. When intoxicated, I'm undesirable in a different way.
    [county] Everyday necessities like dunhills, Irn Bru, and gin.
    [bc] Yup.
    [county] dunhills sound like cigarettes. What's Irn Bru?
    [bc] they sell what's sold most in the local community
    [bc] county: http://www.bevnet.com/reviews/irn-bru/index.asp
    [gurl] what's a good poll topick before i hotfoot it elsewhere?
    [bc] poll? hmmn

    Well, it's easy to understand why they do these things: They're undernourished, because they don't have much food out there in all the poor countries. So the average foreigner is about four foot six, maybe five feet tops, and they weigh about eighty pounds. Their teeth tend to fall out, and their bones are brittle as hell because they don't have milk. That's because their "commissars" took all their cows away. So you see, these poor "Europeans" as they call themselves, and the "Canadians" and whatnot, all these people are frail weaklings. They have no knowledge of freedom either, because they don't have a Genesis Document guaranteeing their rights, and they're given to sodomy and other degenerate practices because they've never been exposed to Christianity. Christianity is banned in Europe, did you know that? It's true. The Socialists always ban religion when they seize power. Of course, the Europeans were never free to begin with, so they don't know any better. They've always been slaves. It's all the same to them.

    So their poor diet, their atheism, their slavehood, and their homosexuality have robbed them of their strength and their manhood. Therefore, they play girl games like Snuckers, Privet, and Gloon. While we eat our peas for the souls in Purgatory, they HAVE no peas. They limply push a ball around a field, with no manly, bone-crunching collisions to build their flaccid
    characters. Where even our most girlish pseudomen play tennis, they teach badminton to their soldiers.

    >Man, we need to get rid of those other countries. They want to abolish
    >our sports and force us to play homosexual female sports like Polo and
    >Spooning, whatever they are.

    It's sad, but true. In fact, we'd only be putting them out of
    their misery. They'd thank us if they understood.

    You're more verbose than I am! I never knew that about you :)

    I'd like to get my two cents in; mainly, I don't agree with your characterization of those who get trolled, for two reasons: (a) I've been trolled myself more than once :) (ask 70%), and (b) I just don't think of it as an adversarian relationship; they may sometimes be a bit clueless, but they're helping to make my troll a success and I'm grateful for that. Much of what I write is a "what's wrong with this picture" puzzle, and if so, I can hardly fault people for solving it, can I?

    Another thing is that responders don't always spout conventional wisdom; in fact, I'd describe the libertarian/capitalist and misogynist RWMs as an exaggeration of conventional wisdom, at least the kind on Slashdot. The goal there IMHO is to get people to agree! You've also got people like the ones who explained the Quaker faith and the AFSC in my recent FBI troll: How many Slashbots know the AFSC from their elbow? Not many. There was a real need to inform people there, and I was hoping somebody would. The fact is, I meet a lot of nice, sensible people (nicer and more sensible than me, anyhow :) who respond to my trolls, and most of them are good sports about it when I tell them I'm a troll.

    I'm also not comfortable with the "elite" thing. IMHO we should try not to congratulate ourselves too much. This gets back to the "adversarial relationship" thing, I guess. I'd like the tone of the FAQ to be more "letting them in on the joke" than "ha ha, sucker".

    Next: Cri de coeur should be italicized, dammit! :)

    Lastly: I dig the "ritual reaction" thing, but I couldn't parse the rest of that riff about metaphor and metonymy at all. IHBT? :)

    We went to Vlad's swinger's club Christmas party Saturday night and had a
    VARY good time. The swingers are a wonderful couple, and they had their kids
    and grandkids there as well, so it was more than just us swinger folk. The
    fun, as usual, was in the people watching.

    The swingers have a big, beautiful house (they have other business interests
    as well). They had put up a big heated tent, got a local steak and wine shop
    to cater the dinner, had a bartender and open bar, and brought in a band.
    Very cool. It was a very casual atmosphere, and it's obvious that the folks
    working at the swinger's group truly like each other. The funny part was
    that every woman under 30 sounded like LuAnn on King of the Hill ("I got me
    some big dreams after beauty school, Aunt Peg!") and the boyfriends/husbands
    drank a lot of beer and talked about hunting (except for the two guys
    discussing mountain biking at our table -- but naturally, they weren't
    natives). There was a lot of BIG hair and boobs falling out of dresses.

    One big plus I have to give this crew is that they've really taken to Adrian
    and I. Well, they've taken to Adrian, and I just come with the package. But
    they've gone out of their way to make me feel like a part of their group,
    far more so than seems to be common with the other male spouses. Of course,
    maybe they just look at me as a big ol' girl.

    Scottie and I didn't dance together. One of the ladies tried to get us up
    there, but I said, "no, Chicago's not ready for that yet." She got a little
    uptight and said "hey, we can handle it, we're educated," but it was pretty
    obvious to me that some of the boyfriends and husbands were not at all
    comfortable with us, and I didn't see any need to fan the flames. Plus, as I
    mentioned, Scottie didn't know any of the music, and I've forgotten how to
    two-step (if, in fact, I ever knew).

    There was another gay guy there, a makeup artist from the spa located with
    the salon, but other than Scottie introducing me to him, we never talked the
    rest of the night. That's fine, he seemed to be busy flirting with this one
    lady's husband. Whatever floats your boat, pal.

    For me, the highlight was when I saw one of Scottie's ex-co-workers dancing
    with a girlfriend and I told her she'd make a great lesbian. She said, "only
    about 20%. Get a couple more beers in me and I'll tell you a story." She had
    a couple more beers, and I got a story about "this one time...," complete
    with all the details. Far more than I ever wanted to know.

    Lordy, I do love me a good gay Christmas.

  109. Esther Sassaman - Hotshot Journalist On The Rise by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Surely, Mr. Traficant is quaking in his boots at the prospect
    of being interviewed by Ms. Sassaman. Ms. Sassaman's reporting
    is the most hard-hitting; the most insightful; the most
    fact-based. Every interview she does (how many... two now?) opens
    a Pandora's box of corruption and intrigue.

    Ms. Sassaman concocts many a rich fantasy in her clouded mind. Her
    writing never seems to hit the mark. That is because it is never
    based in anything resembling reality. How many times have we been
    teased with suggestions of "having it cold" that a "certain large
    company" is involved in far-reaching scandal? How many times have we
    been promised penetrating interviews with the rich and famous?

    I think it has become painfully obvious that Ms. Sassaman lives in
    a world completely of her own manufacture. "I'm going to interview Jamez
    Traficante." "I'm going to blow the lid off of nookie." "I'm going
    to expose the corruption going on in Russian Blue cat farms."

    Yes. We believe you, Esther. Now, go in for your schizophrenia
    treatment and quiet down.

    Now, there is nothing wrong with living in a fantasy. And there is
    nothing wrong with setting goals for yourself. But Kuro5hin has had
    enough of Ms. Sassaman's blatant and admitted trolling and attention
    farming. After having read this diary entry several times, I can see
    no other purpose than to say to all of Kuro5hin: "Look at me! I'm a
    hot-shot journalist and I'm going to interview Jamez Traficante! Please
    heap your adulation on me now!"

    Sorry, not this time. Perhaps a better place to have posted this
    diary would have been Adequacy,
    which is the intended victim of this fantasy interview. What, pray tell, was
    the reason for posting this here? To get more traffic for Adequacy,
    which has been in steady decline for several months now? Probably. And,
    of course, personal attention.

    In summary, I guess I can only point out that I have spoken to people who
    were under the influence of LSD and still had more grounding in reality than
    Ms. Sassaman. Perhaps she would do well to pack her knapsack and hitch a
    ride to China, where her delusions of grandeur and fantasies of conspiracy
    could be put to good use in a propaganda machine.

    Now, anyone with a half a brain and a reverse-ip lookup can see that that
    originating IP corresponds to postnet.com and Vlad's own account
    (http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:home.postnet .com/~wsl3/+vladinator).
    If that's a permanent ip address, then vlad deserves whatever he gets
    from anyone here who is more learned in the h4xx0r ways than I.

  111. The Christmasmas Party! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    We went to Vlad's swinger's club Christmas party Saturday night and had a
    VARY good time. The swingers are a wonderful couple, and they had their kids
    and grandkids there as well, so it was more than just us swinger folk. The
    fun, as usual, was in the people watching.

    The swingers have a big, beautiful house (they have other business interests
    as well). They had put up a big heated tent, got a local steak and wine shop
    to cater the dinner, had a bartender and open bar, and brought in a band.
    Very cool. It was a very casual atmosphere, and it's obvious that the folks
    working at the swinger's group truly like each other. The funny part was
    that every woman under 30 sounded like LuAnn on King of the Hill ("I got me
    some big dreams after beauty school, Aunt Peg!") and the boyfriends/husbands
    drank a lot of beer and talked about hunting (except for the two guys
    discussing mountain biking at our table -- but naturally, they weren't
    natives). There was a lot of BIG hair and boobs falling out of dresses.

    One big plus I have to give this crew is that they've really taken to Adrian
    and I. Well, they've taken to Adrian, and I just come with the package. But
    they've gone out of their way to make me feel like a part of their group,
    far more so than seems to be common with the other male spouses. Of course,
    maybe they just look at me as a big ol' girl.

    Scottie and I didn't dance together. One of the ladies tried to get us up
    there, but I said, "no, Chicago's not ready for that yet." She got a little
    uptight and said "hey, we can handle it, we're educated," but it was pretty
    obvious to me that some of the boyfriends and husbands were not at all
    comfortable with us, and I didn't see any need to fan the flames. Plus, as I
    mentioned, Scottie didn't know any of the music, and I've forgotten how to
    two-step (if, in fact, I ever knew).

    There was another gay guy there, a makeup artist from the spa located with
    the salon, but other than Scottie introducing me to him, we never talked the
    rest of the night. That's fine, he seemed to be busy flirting with this one
    lady's husband. Whatever floats your boat, pal.

    For me, the highlight was when I saw one of Scottie's ex-co-workers dancing
    with a girlfriend and I told her she'd make a great lesbian. She said, "only
    about 20%. Get a couple more beers in me and I'll tell you a story." She had
    a couple more beers, and I got a story about "this one time...," complete
    with all the details. Far more than I ever wanted to know.

    Lordy, I do love me a good gay Christmas.

    Mr. "Quick Star" and Mr. Fake "Scott Lockwood", I have a message for you: get ready for a world of hurt. The first lesson is free.

    Have you ever seen the movies Where the Heart Is and Anywhere but Here starring Natalie Portman? How about the classic Meg Ryan romantic comedies When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle? Well, THAT'S the style of Martial Arts I practice. I've perfected the ruthless and efficient OLSEN TWINS FASH-SLAP STANCE!

    How about the the classic Sci-Fi cult hits Plan 9 from Outer Space and The Rocky Horror Picture Show? Well, I know the martial arts from THOSE movies too! Let me show you THE PATHETIC TRANSVESTITE ALIEN STANCE!

    I've also recently started to learn the martial arts from several new movies such as Jackass: the Movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie. I really look forward to learning the martial arts from the upcoming movie Eight Mile starring my FAVORITE HERO EVAR, Eminem (a.k.a. Slim Shady & Marshall Mathers), so you'd better watch out for my ANGRY WHITE NIGGER STANCE!!!!

    I'm also learning even more martial arts from this web page [realultimatepower.net], including the deadly KUNG-FU NINJA JESUS ATTACK STANCE! Hi-YAH!!!

    I'm working to improve my rythm [klerck.org], flexibility [rotten.com], stealth skills [fartbuster.com], self-confidence [yahoo.com], and critical thinking [timecube.com] skills, so you'd better watch out, because very soon I will perfect my ultimate attack, THE LARD-LIKE ANTISOCIAL DEPRESSIVE ASSHOLE SPAMMER IMPOTENT PAEDOPHILE FELCHING FLATULENT WIGGER SUMO-SAMURAI CHILD-ABUSE RESTRAINING-ORDER UNWASHED BASTARDIZED ANAL IMMATURE CATHOLIC GOATFUCKER STANCE!!!!

    If that doesn't scare you... just wait and see. You'll get yours soon enough.

    As Nietzsche said, "If you stare too long into my ass [klerck.org], beware, for my ass [klerck.org] might start to stare back into you."

    [shoeboy] this is why I can't wipe the smirk off my face no matter how hard I try

      Now, if you block large amounts of email without inspecting their contents (either manually or automatically), then you lose, because you aren't making mail any more useful. In fact, you're making it LESS useful, since legitimate mail won't get through.

    I'd been thinking along the lines of hiding usernames during moderation, if nothing else than to help us trolls with recognizable usernames who get unfair moderation simply for being trolls in general than just on a particular post. I can see several0 problems, though:

    1) It won't stop the most dedicated of trollbusters who will keep a separate window open as AC where they can see people's usernames. These are the moderators who most need to be stopped, and yet this restriction won't do so.

    2) It will add a social cost to moderating itself. People might just start throwing their points at crap just to get back to normal mode where they can see who's talking. But it could cut both ways.

    3) It'll increase the amount of noisy replies screaming: "Moderators! Don't you realize streetlawyer/flatpack/etc. is the one saying this?!?!?!" We don't need that.

    4) You'd have to hide .sig files as well. Not a big deal.

    [county] I've walked over five miles a day in mine without blisters, just soreness.
    [county] When they were brand new, though, they caused blisters.
    [county] I had to break them, though! And they had to break me.
    [county] It was very sexual.
    [bc] I do more than 5 miles usually, and by God, every step is pain

    [bc] to bear
    [county] I get on the bus with four other girls, three of them are together.
    [county] I mean with four girls.
    [First_Incision] I also have a pair of these that are 3 years old, I trust they will last my whole life.
    [county] I'm a guy, of course. Heh.
    [county] The lone girl tries to be friendly with the three, and they're quite terse and rude, and then when she gets off, they spend the next five minutes mocking her.
    [county] It made me weep.
    [bc] Yes. You'd never do something like that, of course.
    [county] I wouldn't.
    [county] She was quite pretty, too.
    [county] Her face had a strange, intense look to it.
    [bc] perhaps you should have recorded the conversation the girl had and slipped it into her pocket anonymously come monday
    [bc] girl/girls
    [county] Her voice and attitude were intoxicating in their simplicity and ingenuousness!
    [county] And I will never see her again :(
    [county] The other girls were ill-formed masses of pimpled, greasy, misshapen flesh.
    [county] The soul truly is reflected in the face and body.
    *** momocrome is now known as Yanni
    [shoeboy] indeed
    [bc] Fascinating county, but, considering that you have shown your capcity for malice here many times, I suspect that while you doubtless thought this girl pure and interesting, you in fact liked her because she was similar to yourself (the usual reason for attraction) - full of malice. I suspect the criticism of the other girls (who were likely good, and therefore opposed to you, and quite alien) was justified.
    [shoeboy] this is why I can't wipe the smirk off my face no matter how hard I try
    [county] I didn't see any reason to suppose this girl courted malice, bc.
    [county] Anyway, I think it's been well-established that I can't take it, at all.
    [county] I wouldn't be attracted to a cruel person.
    * Yanni is the man for you, county
    [county] Sorry, Yanni, I don't like fatties.
    [Yanni] I will sooth your soul.
    [Yanni] I am not fat!
    [county] 225 lbs is pretty damn fat.
    [Yanni] http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~kim/yanni.GIF

    [Yanni] I am intensely well muscled, by nature.
    [Yanni] and at a firm 6'2", can hardly be counted amongst the fatties
    [county] I'm 6'2", though.
    [Yanni] you are a bean pole
    [Yanni] 160 lbs?

    [Yanni] no arms or legs with that
    [county] Oh, no!
    [county] It's wrong that they would sell that.
    [county] The whole idea of a fake woman is ridiculous.
    [Yanni] you can buy just the upper torso
    [Yanni] $395 for breasts and shoulders only

    [county] Frankly, I'm just not seeing a niche market between masturbation and actual women.
    [county] Those two seem to have the demand pretty much satisfied.
    [Yanni] perhaps it will become an appliance as common as a refrigerator or microwave oven
    [county] For $920, you could have a girlfriend for a month or two.
    [Yanni] reading into a little, these dolls talk, have articulated skeletons
    [county] For $920, you could masturbate for decades!
    [First_Incision] the e-conomy is all about inventing niche markets that don't exist.
    [Yanni] $920 would get you 2 hours with a clean-ish whore
    [county] For $920 I could buy a fancy hat that would get that wonderful bus girl to notice me.
    [county] I'm having scads of fun falling in infatuation with girls from the bus. I hadn't anticipated this at all, but it's immensely enjoyable.
    [Yanni] for $920 / month, you could afford a fancy enough car to get a bell town beauty

    Indeed, whimsy is an open account (for posting whimsical diaries) whose password is 'whimsy'. I've contributed some diaries (principally, "I was there watching the world go by" and "How to calculate your social security income") and so have felt free to abuse the account for comment posting in Anne Marie stories. My guess is the other whimsy poster is tewl, since she posted something about "oh, I didn't realize annemarie=cp" in k5tt a while back.

    I share your incredulity. Anyone who reads through k5tt would know the truth. Anyone who suspected could do a search on my (cp's) comments and see I only post in anne marie's stories. Oh well. It's fun to see rusty defend me.

    Outside of the core group , there are supporters,
    wellwishers, and fellow Vlad haters who share one binding aspect
    with us (disdain for Vladinator), but who aren't officially
    affiliated with us. Thus, we do not form a "gang" or any other
    recognizable command structure.

    There many, many people in the world who dislike Lockwood; some
    have formed into small groups to work together, but most act as free
    agents. We don't really know the identities of many people outside
    our core group, nor do we know whether a given person
    outside our core group is a free agent or is affiliated
    with another group.

    These activities are by nature clandestine and solitary, thus we
    only work freely with allies we've met in meatspace and can trust
    absolutely. I have no idea of the exact number of fellow Vlad-haters
    out there (I know it's large), or whether or not any of them have
    formed cabals similar to our own, so please don't go lumping us all
    together.

    Generally, we operate in clusters or "cells" where one member of
    one cell is designated as a messenger with a similarly designated
    member of another cell. If the designated messenger is discovered,
    that individual is "disposed of" and another individual is selected.

    In this way, no single cell is aware of how many members are in
    any other cell and the only thing known of the membership of other
    cells is the mutual identities of the messengers. Each cell is
    constructed such that only the messenger from one other cell
    is in contact with the messenger of any given cell. Therefore, we
    cannot form a "gang" as you call it.

    Instead, you would be more correct to refer to us as a "sweeping
    cluster of antibodies reacting to a foreign body in order to prevent
    it from damaging the host."

    You're more verbose than I am! I never knew that about you :)

    I'd like to get my two cents in; mainly, I don't agree with your characterization of those who get trolled, for two reasons: (a) I've been trolled myself more than once :) (ask 70%), and (b) I just don't think of it as an adversarian relationship; they may sometimes be a bit clueless, but they're helping to make my troll a success and I'm grateful for that. Much of what I write is a "what's wrong with this picture" puzzle, and if so, I can hardly fault people for solving it, can I?

    Another thing is that responders don't always spout conventional wisdom; in fact, I'd describe the libertarian/capitalist and misogynist RWMs as an exaggeration of conventional wisdom, at least the kind on Slashdot. The goal there IMHO is to get people to agree! You've also got people like the ones who explained the Quaker faith and the AFSC in my recent FBI troll: How many Slashbots know the AFSC from their elbow? Not many. There was a real need to inform people there, and I was hoping somebody would. The fact is, I meet a lot of nice, sensible people (nicer and more sensible than me, anyhow :) who respond to my trolls, and most of them are good sports about it when I tell them I'm a troll.

    I'm also not comfortable with the "elite" thing. IMHO we should try not to congratulate ourselves too much. This gets back to the "adversarial relationship" thing, I guess. I'd like the tone of the FAQ to be more "letting them in on the joke" than "ha ha, sucker".

    Next: Cri de coeur should be italicized, dammit! :)

    Lastly: I dig the "ritual reaction" thing, but I couldn't parse the rest of that riff about metaphor and metonymy at all. IHBT? :)

    [bc] and scepticism as opposed to faith
    [bc] you know what? I was just thinking about that
    [county] About what?
    [bc] I never really used to like her, because she seems quite sharp nosed and hard faced, in that way
    [bc] but now, well, now I see. She seemed so vulnerable in that film
    [county] I like well-defined faces.
    [county] I can see why her's might be too sharp for you, though.
    [bc] and you just wanted to protect her against the world
    [momocrome] i hate kitten, but I am hung over and foggy headed
    [bc] it is quite sharp, but I see beyond that now
    [county] I like faces with character, not just formless fleshy masses, that so many other girls seem to have.
    [county] Don't hate kitten, momocrome.

    [bc] it's true, county

    [county] It's pretty, but not beautiful, by normal standards.
    [county] But it just looks so carefully crafted, somehow.
    [bc] is the sharp faced bus infatuation the same girl as the one with the limp?
    [county] It looks like someone wanted her face to look just like that, and they invested endless time in carefully crafting it.
    [county] You know what I mean?
    [me0w] bc: I do, although this voice of reason is a little suspect ..
    [county] (No, the limping girl is someone else, and she doesn't generally limp.)
    [bc] why me0w, is this voice of reason American or something? I know you hate Americans. An American Voice of Reason would probably advice you to lick the most repugnant people in the room, as retaliation.
    [bc] county: yes, I do know
    [bc] interesting faces are nice
    [county] When I see her, I want to hold her face in my hands and kiss it.
    [county] But that's not a polite thing to do on a bus.
    [county] You're wrong about us American's, bc. An American voice of reason wouldn't feel any ill will toward me0w, despite her hatred.
    [bc] get to know her first, and do it later. Have her melt
    [county] It would just feel sadness and hurt.
    [county] "Americans"
    [Sylvain] hey bc
    [bc] county, my impression of Americans is that they are friendly and kind, and idealistic, but that if you cross them they take a just vengeance
    [bc] hey em
    [county] Cross us, yes. Simply hating us but doing nothing about it is not crossing us.
    [bc] that seems fair enough
    [bc] though who knows, me0w yank-hatred is such that it wouldn't surprise me to find she has crossed the line
    [me0w] bc: this voice of reason has been my friend since HS, and on several occasions, while I was not quite in the right fram of mind, he got me to do silly things.
    [county] It's mean and hurtful, yes, but that's not enough. We Americans only retaliate when actual harm is done.
    [me0w] I do not have individual-yank hatred.
    [county] I hope she hasn't crossed the line. America's wrath is great toward those who hurt her.
    [bc] he sounds like a splendid chap, me0w. He should tell you to lick a lovely, yooung 16yo with lots of acne
    [me0w] bc: He would tell me to go and make out with girls.
    [bc] what?? That's only because he gets off on it himself, the weirdo perv
    [county] Lesbian sex must be the least arousing thing in existence.
    [bc] agreed, county, but I understand many chaps find it appealing
    [county] But oh, man.
    [county] This is nice.
    [bc] generally ones with supressed homosexual urges themselves, I understand
    [county] I have that warm, content feeling that comes with a few boozes and just finishing a delicious salami and pepper jack sandwich.
    [bc] I want to have faith in something
    [bc] I don't know what, but it seems to make people happy
    [bc] so it must be worth a shot
    [me0w] He likes to make me do these things and take pictures
    [bc] he's sounding more&more sick
    [county] What sort of things?
    [me0w] He teases my SO with the pictures.
    [county] I'm only asking so we can get a good idea of how sick he is.
    [bc] "teases"? If I had a gf who french kissed girls in strange clubs, and a friend who took pictures of this and then showed them to me, I'd be jolly well angry, and likely explode in anger and start shouting at people
    [bc] It takes all sorts, eh county
    [county] I wouldn't want a girl that french kisses other girls.
    [Sylvain] is it just me, or has this channel become too serious?
    [county] This channel is a joke, Sylvain.
    [bc] Sylvain, it's great. Since the regulars left, the channel has become more&more&more fun
    [county] I like this channel. It's a lot of bullshit, a lot of heartfelt confession, and a lot of fighting.
    [county] I can't think how it could be improved.
    [bc] that's pretty much why I like it. What makes it tolerable is that a lot of the time, you can't really tell which is which
    [county] For example, I quite like my online relationship with luisa.
    [bc] serious? or bullshit? serious fight? bullshit fight? confession or or bullshit? fight? mixing it up to cause a fight? Who can tell.
    [county] It's all fighting mixed with lies and truths.
    [bc] I hope ubu has extensive logs of #kuro5hin
    [bc] actually, do you, county?
    [bc] going back a year or so?
    [county] Well, I log whenever I'm in there.
    [bc] I wish to find something
    [county] I should point out that I've only been online for a month or so.
    [bc] yes, but I understand you are friendly with someone who was here before, it was just on the offchance he gave you his logs
    [county] Well, I have #k5 logs going back over a year, yes.
    [bc] what size are they when zipped up would you guess?
    [bc] nothing vast, right? not 50mb or something absurd?

    [bc] yes. She was mine first though
    [bc] I spent the film marvelling at her vulnerability
    [county] I liked her before you watched the film, bastard!
    [dmg] you would like "the accused" then...
    [dmg] she is more vulnerable in that.
    [dmg] I just cannot stand her voice
    [bc] She only came to my notice during the film, really. She fits the archetype that I like in women, so it can be said that I have always liked her, as long as I have been alive.

    [bc] county, I asked to speak to her first

    [bc] she is verrry drunk
    [county] I thought of it first, bc, but my intoxication is slowing down my typing.
    [Sylvain] bc: i don't think that will appease county's perception of entitledness.
    [county] Ask her for naked pictures of Jin Wicked, bc.
    [dmg] I have some of those
    [county] Yeah? Lucky you.
    [dmg] she keeps crapflooding my mailbox with them
    [dmg] attention-seeker.
    [county] She's a pain, in that respect.
    [county] And every other respect.
    [dmg] its like,
    [county] With no respect.
    [dmg] stop spamming me with nude photos.
    [dmg] If I wanted to see that sort of thing I would get a girlfriend.
    [county] I want to see it, and I can't get a girlfriend.
    [county] You're attractive, confident, and wordly.
    [Sylvain] dmg: you'd get a girlfriend to see nude *photos*?
    [county] I'm a geeky pud.
    [dmg] no if I wanted to see nude women
    [dmg] Id get a girlfriend
    [county] Or you'd just sleep around. Slut.

    [dmg] she could be forgiven
    [Sylvain] bc maybe that's not drunkenness.
    [bc] also, she speaks like a black Londoner with hyper estuary english
    [Sylvain] it's perhaps stupidity augmented by adolescence and drunkenness.
    [dmg] hold on one moment. if she is 17 and drunk, is she not guilty of an offence ????
    [Sylvain] nope.
    [dmg] Should not we be reporting her to the authorities
    [dmg] ???
    [dmg] or the person who supplied the alcohol
    [bc] LOL
    [Sylvain] somebody else is
    [dmg] In the UK the alcohol age is 5
    [dmg] for consumption in the home
    [county] You must be kidding.
    [dmg] how enlightened compared to our other stupid laws.
    [dmg] no, its 5
    [dmg] seriously
    [county] Why have an age at all?
    [dmg] Ill find a web page if I can to PROVE it
    [county] Yeah, because web pages are always right!
    [bc] she's away now

    [dmg] one moment
    [dmg] fucking cut-n-paste doesn't work
    [county] I think I'd like another salami sandwish
    [dmg] In bars and off-licensed premises the MDA and MPA are 18. The MPA for
    [dmg] beer and cider is 16 when purchased for consumption with meals
    [dmg] (except when in a bar). Children over five may consume alcoholic
    [dmg] beverages at home with their parent's consent.
    [bc] pdf sucks
    [dmg] basically if you have cool parents you can get pissed once you start infant school
    [dmg] but if you are over 18 and want to drink after 11pm, you are shit out of luck
    [dmg] its a contradiction to be sure...
    [Sylvain] there are some exceptions to alcohol laws here in USia IIRC
    [Sylvain] e.g. it's allowed to give a child some wine if required by a religious ritual
    [dmg] * In 19 states alcohol consumption by youth under 21 is not specifically
    [dmg] illegal.
    [dmg] ** Exceptions to the 21 law in some states include possession for
    [dmg] religious purposes when accompanied by a parent, spouse or legal
    [dmg] guardian; medical reasons; in private clubs or establishments; in the
    [dmg] course of lawful employment by a duly licensed manufac
    [Sylvain] e.g. catholic communion frequently involves a bit of wine.
    [bc] I remember when I first got drunk
    [bc] I thought "I want to spend the rest of my days in this condition"
    [bc] it was a revelation
    [bc] I think I have found my faith already
    [dmg] I was about four when I first got drunk. on Babycham believe it or not. My mum did not realise it was alcoholic :-)
    *** Sylvain changes topic to '[ bc] I remember when I first got drunk || [ bc] I thought "I want to spend the rest of my days in this condition"'
    [bc] I had a good swig of scotdch when I was 6 months old and got drunk

    [bc] well, I can't in truth remember if it got be drunk, or anything about it at all, but I'm sure it must've
    [dmg] thats pretty funny
    [dmg] you could have died however.
    [Sylvain] he wouldn't have understood it.
    [bc] nah, I took it like a baby
    [Sylvain] no trauma for him
    [Sylvain] what's the problem with dying when you're a perfectly innocent being?
    [Sylvain] it's only when we grow old and come to appreciate that life is valuable that we have a problem with it
    [county] I am a perfectly innocent being.
    [dmg] what about original sin ?

    [Sylvain] bc: wow.
    [bc] it's an excellent rum
    [Sylvain] how much was it?
    [bc] a bloody fortune
    [Sylvain] fuck. the oldest rum i've ever had is 12 years.
    [county] Ah, a rum.
    [Sylvain] any words on how good it is beyond "excellent"?
    [county] The oldest rum I've had was also 12 years.
    [bc] it tastes nice. Older rums seem to become more whiskyish, somehow, it is hard to explain
    [bc] much more complex
    [county] Now you just need some forty year old coke.
    [bc] it is aged in the tropics, too
    [bc] apparantly that means it ages more rapidly
    [bc] at about 3x the rate of a spirit aged in, say, canada
    [bc] anyway, I don't know. It tastes very nutty, somehow
    [Sylvain] but how expensive was it?
    [bc] em: £10,000

    [county] Explain!

    [county] Please keep that straight.

    [bc] I don't know
    [county] me0w, dress chastly.
    [county] It's incredibly sexy.
    [bc] me0w, wear a denim skirt with a sort of white lacery around the pockets that looks lovely and homely, and a black t-shirt above that is slinky and just has strap things over the shoulders so it is more of a dress, really.
    [bc] let your hair hang down forward over your bosom, to each side, following the contours perfectly

    [county] I told you, me0w.
    [iat] bc: what happened to your general knwoledge bot?
    [county] Dress chastly.
    [county] It will draw guys like you can't believe.
    [bc] wear a turqoise top, that is very close fitting and very slightly see-through, revealing a white bra underneath on the edge of awareness, and making men think you are less calculating and more genuine than those other dolled up girls. Underneath, wear black trousers that are practical looking though ladylike, covered in pockets

    [me0w] wait wait

    [county] she had a blue bra, it was lovely. I hate it now, though I loved it then!
    [bc] okay, do you have any slightly see-through tops at all?
    [county] Oh god, she looked lovely in it.
    [bc] what we are going for here is the thrown-on, unsophisticated but lovely look
    [me0w] I have a whole collection of see through wear

    [iat] no-one will use it for anything other than war3zing books
    [bc] I will provide that service. It's more than a filesharing network, I intend it to be a peer-2-peer knowledge base sort of deal

    [iat] my marlboro light costs me 4.70 a pack
    [iat] beat that
    [bc] this one has a more traditional bloggy feel me0w, but won't it mean the front page won't change as radically so often? I suppose I like it better in that you can see the previous articles, but less in that the front page doesn't periodically change radically, so that you don't know what will appear. It's prolly more sensible though
    [bc] also, the right hand side seems wider somehow

    Agreed, but I have to find better ones. As much as I liked the dementia-causes-popmusic-preference one, the k5 crowd just didn't care. Like on /. after a long series of trolls, it's time to whore [the queue] again.

    One of these days I'm going to write an op/ed meta story called "Hi, I'm Anne Marie. You're all hypocrites." But I think I'll hold back, now.

    BTW, the ktb=educatedescort cries are hilarious, at least to me. Soon, rusty'll have to change k5's motto to "Technology and culture from the trenches and stuff about Anne Marie". I'd feel remorse, but a) I like the attention and b) I give k5 more credit than that; it's more resilient than /. ever was. My intentions and hopes aren't to destroy k5 but to become a watershed event in its history, fit to go into next year's year-in-review. Looks like I'm succeeding.

    Jack Daniels has a new ad that's been running in several different magazines
    lately. I saw it as I was skimming through the August issue of Rolling Stone
    Magazine. The ad shows a bottle of Jack Daniels "Old No. 7". Above the
    bottle are the words "At Some Point, You Just Know Who You Are" and below
    the bottle is the caption "For Us, That Was 1866."

    I didn't know who I was in 1866; I wouldn't be born for another one hundred
    and eleven years. But at some point I did come to realize and to accept who
    I am. --- I was, I am, and I always will be gay.

    The point of realization came in March of this year. If I had not been
    taught to believe otherwise, I probably would have known this a long time
    ago. Ever since the onset of puberty I've been sexually attracted to people
    of the same gender more so than those of the opposite gender. For years and
    years I denied that I was having these feelings, I prayed earnestly for them
    to go away, but they never did. I grew up being taught that everyone was
    born heterosexual and that homosexuals were sick people who chose to sin by
    living out their perverted fantasies. In middle school and high school if
    people thought you were gay, you would be beaten up and made fun of. So, not
    being one who loves to be beaten up, I hid my feelings, denied my feelings,
    and prayed that God would make me "normal" like everyone else. My prayers
    went unanswered, my attraction towards members of the same sex only grew
    stronger.

    Finally, in March of 1999 I stopped denying everything I've ever felt, and I
    accepted who I am -- I'm a 32 year old gay male, and this drinks on the
    house

    [county] I think so, momocrome.
    [county] I don't mind the state-run liquor stores.
    [county] There's one right next to the grocery store I shop at.
    [county] The place is clean, the selection good, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
    [momocrome] yeah, at least you know the cigarettes aren't counterfeit
    [First_Incision] I've never been to one. They are the small minority of liquor stores here.
    [momocrome] in CA, that is the usual case. cheap mexican cigarettes are smuggled in and sold for normal prices, sans excise
    [momocrome] the difference in quality is marked
    [county] In California, spirits can be had anywhere.
    [county] It's strange, to me.
    [county] I've always lived in states that had tightly-restricted liquor laws.
    [momocrome] but you can't smoke in restaurants
    [First_Incision] It amazes me how in Indidana, there is literally a liquor store on every corner
    [momocrome] i get creeped out being able to smoke in public places like that
    [First_Incision] I hate it when people smoke around me.
    [First_Incision] I HATE IT!
    [me0w] I crave smoking.
    [First_Incision] I want to harm them physically.
    [momocrome] not that I am a heavy smoker... but I like one after meals and when drinking
    [momocrome] FI, I want to harm people, or harass them at least, that hold your position
    [luisa||||] i don't mind smokers
    [luisa||||] i just am not round them so often
    [First_Incision] why haven't there been riots over this yet?
    [momocrome] especially those that see you smoking in an isolated area and come over, cough and glare at you
    [First_Incision] We should meet up in a restaurant and start one
    [momocrome] CA is horrible for that
    [luisa||||] heheh
    [momocrome] its like people know they can exert power over you, guilt you about smoking, and so go out of their way to position themsselves to do so
    [First_Incision] I can't open my eyes when people are smoking around me. The pain is too much
    [luisa||||] it was weird that cali grocery stores sold hard liquor
    [luisa||||] i sorely wish i could buy booze at walmart here
    [county] Why on earth would you want walmart booze?
    [luisa||||] although i am fond of the liquor emporium
    [First_Incision] Some day, teary-eyed, coughing and furious, I shall harm a smoker.
    [momocrome] walmart? you should get booze at costco! it is worth the drive to another state and a membership
    [luisa||||] it would be cheaper
    [luisa||||] i wouldn't buy the store brand
    [county] What state, momocrome?
    [luisa||||] heh, i can just see that
    [momocrome] a $20 bottle is $6 at costco
    [luisa||||] sam's club vodka
    [luisa||||] sheeit
    [momocrome] well, for us I think it is just CA or ID
    [county] That's fantastic, momocrome. Where?
    [county] OK.
    [momocrome] heh
    [county] Do you want to drive to Idaho next time we get paid?
    [luisa||||] see, i have to pay 200 for a plane ticket there
    [momocrome] you're on!
    [county] It'll be fun.
    [luisa||||] not including the membership fee
    [momocrome] you'l have to rent a car
    [luisa||||] cali is closer
    [luisa||||] i think
    [momocrome] I've got a costco card though
    [luisa||||] well, blow me down
    [momocrome] luisa||||, a CA costcois not so close
    [county] Idaho and California are both far away, but I think Idaho might be a bit closer.
    [momocrome] probably nothing north of Sacrement
    [momocrome] i
    [county] Is there a Costco in Redding?
    [momocrome] o
    [county] Oh, that far.
    [luisa||||] ah, i figure there was one up north
    [momocrome] dunno
    [momocrome] maybe
    [county] No closer than Redding, I would guess, and that's a drive.
    [momocrome] hang on
    [First_Incision] well, I'm going to sleep.
    [momocrome] yes there is one
    [First_Incision] nite

    [luisa||||] one a few miles from me
    [luisa||||] it says there is one in seattle
    [momocrome] AHQ!
    [county] There is, luisa.
    [momocrome] the company is headquartered in Seattle
    [luisa||||] but i'm using their warehouse locator
    [county] momocrome, here's the plan.
    [luisa||||] so fuck knows if that means i can buy stuff there
    [momocrome] nothing about booze on the website so far
    [county] We'll drive to Redding, buy lots of booze, drop by Houston, sell some to luisa at a profit, then drive back here.
    [luisa||||] haha
    [luisa||||] if i can go to a houston costco
    [luisa||||] i wouldn't need your liquor!
    [county] No, see, we'd get you really drunk and then we'd steal your wallet and flee to Seattle.
    [luisa||||] i have no wallet
    [county] Where do you carry your money?
    [luisa||||] wouldn't you like to know.
    [county] Well, that is why I asked, I suppose.
    [luisa||||] mostly i don't carry
    [luisa||||] unless i am getting groceries or something
    [county] Hmm. I always have money, but then, other people don't buy me things.
    [luisa||||] people used to more often
    [luisa||||] but that was when i was not so morose
    [county] I've always been reserved, not morose, though.
    [luisa||||] that always makes me dizzy in a guy
    [luisa||||] because so many have trouble sorting themselves in public or private with females
    [county] How do you mean? Maybe we just prefer to ignore females.
    [momocrome] damn
    [momocrome] luisa||||, I was pursuing the theory that you were a guy earlier today, because women usually don't refer to male humans as bis, but gay men do
    [momocrome] bis, boys
    [momocrome] your use of the word guy a moment ago shoots that theory to hell
    [momocrome] men usually don't refer to boys as guys, see.
    [county] What do we refer to them as?
    [luisa||||] i'm a lass, right enough
    [momocrome] well, usually, asshole or bastard
    [momocrome] but otherewise, men or fellas
    [luisa||||] by sorting, i mean when they are round a girl they like, county
    [luisa||||] or girls they like
    [county] Oh, I ignore them too, luisa.
    [county] I have a system, and it works.
    [luisa||||] that makes no sense
    [luisa||||] how can they like you if you never let them?
    [county] Well, I don't see how that's any of my concern. I'm not required to accommodate people who might wish to like me.

    [county] Natalie Portman is a tart.
    [county] Although, I have to admit, I'd hit it.
    [luisa||||] she is pleasant enough
    [luisa||||] but i base that on her star wars two costumes
    [luisa||||] because i would steal nearly all of them for my own.
    [county] Sans tears, I should hope.
    [luisa||||] oh, aye
    [county] The only one I can really recall is the white one.
    [momocrome] i would take a tear encrusted costume from her
    [momocrome] I would make her cry.

    [momocrome] it is true
    [county] It might be fun to make luisa cry, but I'm sure it would require more time and effort than it's worth.
    [momocrome] it might be easy
    [county] You're right, it might be.
    [momocrome] just wisper to her every night about her shortcomings
    [county] Every night?
    [county] How many nights?
    [momocrome] and then set it up to say two or three keywords in a certain sequence to crush her will
    [county] See, that's what I meant by time.
    [momocrome] those would be nights spent next to her lithe figure, though
    [momocrome] not a waste, a benefit

    [county] OK, so I whisper the words, she cries, then what?

    [momocrome] sure
    [momocrome] or change her being for the simple thrill

    [momocrome] whatever suits your fancy
    [momocrome] I am turning my girl into a goth
    [county] I thought she was to begin with.
    [momocrome] just cause she 'hates goths'
    [county] Or was she more a punk?
    [momocrome] well, she is goth-ish without admitting it
    [county] So you're not actually doing anything at all, just taking credit for a preexistent state of affairs.
    [momocrome] and somewhat punk. bitch is probably a better description
    [momocrome] heh
    [county] Or is that too much honesty?
    [county] I can tone it down, if you like.
    [momocrome] no. I have turned her around
    [momocrome] now, for example, she listens mostly to bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy
    [momocrome] in her car
    [momocrome] sheonce hit me with her fist for daring to suggest such dreadful music!
    [momocrome] bah
    [momocrome] tastes change
    [momocrome] I can't honestly take credit for it
    [county] She hit you with her fist?
    [county] And you tolerated it!?
    [momocrome] why not?
    [momocrome] it is well within my threshold to tolerate
    [county] It's quite disrespectful.
    [momocrome] she is 'spunky' like that
    [momocrome] she throws things at walls
    [momocrome] slams doors
    [momocrome] hangs up on people
    [county] Sounds like my sister, of whom I am not particularly fond.
    [luisa||||] heh
    [momocrome] is your sister self absorbed and tempermental?
    [luisa||||] you couldn't make me cry that way, county
    [luisa||||] emotional torture is bad form and doesn't really work
    [momocrome] my GF is not self absorbed or tempermental
    [momocrome] she is obstinate and hysterical
    [momocrome] hmm
    [momocrome] maybe I am drunk?
    [county] luisa, I would make you cry somehow.
    [momocrome] the fastest road to this destination is with puppy murder
    [momocrome] get a puppy, let her fawn over it a bit, then hack its' head clean off
    [county] I will make you cry, I do so swear.
    [luisa||||] nah, you cannot
    [momocrome] it is how the Nazis trained their officers
    [luisa||||] i don't always know why i cry
    [luisa||||] but i do know boys aren't able to make it happen

    [luisa||||] nope, you'll not
    [county] We'll see who has the last laugh.
    [luisa||||] hehe.
    [county] That was a laugh, sure, but was it the last?
    [county] Haha!
    [county] Apparently not.
    [luisa||||] hoho!
    [county] Oh stop, you.
    [luisa||||] certainement, chere
    [momocrome] county, luisa||||, I hate to mention this
    [county] Yet you're going to anyway?
    [county] Why, I wonder?
    [momocrome] but if those pics floating around of luisa|||| are accurate
    [momocrome] she is my ideal woman
    [county] Well, which ones?
    [momocrome] i am compelled to finally mention it
    [momocrome] by way of booze
    [county] She doesn't actually look like a monkey, if those are the ones you're thinking of.
    [momocrome] do you suppose those are the ones to which I refer?
    [momocrome] I am probably just grasping at any outlet though
    [county] Well, are you talking about the ones of a topless young black girl with a tattoo?
    [momocrome] she was wearing a nice dress in the photos I saw
    [momocrome] don't recall toplessness
    [momocrome] bc had them on his server
    [county] The topless girl with the tattoo isn't luisa.
    [county] There are some ones of the real luisa wearing scandelously short dresses and skirts, though.
    [momocrome] those are probably the ones I am thinking of
    [county] OK.
    [county] Well, get in line, buddy.
    [momocrome] no prob'
    [momocrome] i already have a girl, after all
    [county] Yes, rub that in.
    [county] Son of a bitch!
    [luisa||||] yeah, i notice that about guys
    [luisa||||] they find me quite attractive
    [momocrome] and a bunch of airline miles!
    [luisa||||] but at the end of the day, i haven't got them as boyfriends
    [luisa||||] some less hot chick does
    [momocrome] I can even upgrade to first class en route to Houston
    [luisa||||] what's up with that?
    [county] God damn you, luisa.
    [county] bc took me off the access list, and I know it's your fault.
    [momocrome] you'd have your pick in Seattle
    [luisa||||] bc loves you
    [luisa||||] no i wouldn't
    [luisa||||] they wouldn't even talk to me
    [county] He thinks I'm tempermental, untrustworthy, and fiery, though.
    [luisa||||] just stare and smile some
    [county] He doesn't think I'm fit to hold power.
    [luisa||||] well, you are at that
    [momocrome] well, if either qpt or I saw you on the bus, we'd both make our moves
    [luisa||||] pfft
    [luisa||||] well, i know qp is a doll
    [momocrome] I am a Viking Warlord of a doll
    [luisa||||] but i only like blond things for sport
    [county] I'm not sure I'd recognize luisa.
    [luisa||||] and qp is blonde
    [county] I'm not.
    [luisa||||] well, you should be
    [momocrome] sure, shoot me down already.
    [momocrome] :(
    [luisa||||] next you'll be telling me you're not attractive, either
    [momocrome] I might be as handsome as Yanni!
    [luisa||||] and that you aren't a boy at all.
    [county] I could say all of that.
    [county] Have, at one point or another.
    [luisa||||] so you are a girl?
    [county] No, I'm not, sadly.
    [luisa||||] a pity
    [luisa||||] i like girls for sport well enough
    [county] What sort of sport?
    [momocrome] that's itg.
    [momocrome] dammit

    [momocrome] disrupts the typing

    [momocrome] you scoff.

    [momocrome] but I tried to proclaim my love
    [luisa||||] eh, you are drunqk and claimed
    [luisa||||] and also non-local
    *** ubu_away has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 360 seconds)
    [county] I tried to proclaim my love, too.
    [luisa||||] you are also drunk and non-local
    [luisa||||] also, i have no idea what you look like
    [county] You are so shallow!
    [county] And you do know. bc showed you a picture.
    [county] I asked him and he confirmed.
    [luisa||||] i have no idea what picture
    [county] I looked for it the other day, it wasn't online anymore.
    [luisa||||] a shame
    [county] It was a poor picture, anyway.
    [county] I've gotten better looking in my twenties. I was quite pleased.
    [luisa||||] well, it's no matter to me
    [county] Yes it is. You prefer not to look at ugly pictures.
    [luisa||||] you are either pasty faced dork or rather decent looking
    [county] Everyone does.
    [luisa||||] i shall never know which
    * county gets an idea.
    [county] If I were really pasty and really dorky, might you be brought to tears at the sight of me?
    [luisa||||] no.
    [luisa||||] else i'd weep daily
    [luisa||||] just from walking around and about
    [county] What's your opinion of ubu's picture?
    [county] I was rather surprised.
    [county] I'm not convinced it's him.
    [luisa||||] if that is him, goddamn
    [luisa||||] that's really it.
    [county] And to think, he's been hitting on li'l ol' me!
    [county] I feel flattered.
    [luisa||||] heheh
    [luisa||||] the thing is though
    [luisa||||] it would be totally typical for a boy like him to look like that
    [county] How do you mean?
    [momocrome] http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/zones/reviews/ pc/jul01/legendsMM01.jpg
    [luisa||||] i knew a guy similar in personality to him online
    [momocrome] images fdrom a game I made
    [luisa||||] the guy was so cagey about his appearance
    [luisa||||] but he was super fucking gorgeous
    [luisa||||] but also an invalid recluse who resided on his parents' estate
    [luisa||||] i miss him sometimes
    [county] haha! So you've mistaken my own hesitance to give out a picture for attractiveness.
    [county] That's amusing.
    [luisa||||] in your case, no
    [county] You have to realize that most people who don't want to be seen simply do it out of ugliness.
    [luisa||||] i was speaking of ubu's image that he chose to pony up
    [luisa||||] nearly all the cagey guys i have met first online were superhot
    [luisa||||] they just felt they lacked appeal
    [county] I know that you were talking about ubu, but I was noting that it explained your somewhat bizarre notions about me.
    [luisa||||] k5 has unfortunately shown me the more homely-ass end of the spectrum
    [county] I don't know why you can't accept me as I am :(
    [luisa||||] i haven't any idea what you am
    [luisa||||] as in other areas of my life, i was horribly spoilt in my early online experiences
    [luisa||||] pretty much everyone was very physically attractive, and also fun to hang out with offline
    [luisa||||] mostly the people i get along with best online are also physically attractive
    [momocrome] county's eyes arent gray.
    [luisa||||] not every time, but 9/10
    [momocrome] they are green-brown
    [luisa||||] don't taunt, momo ;p
    [momocrome] mine are gray.
    [luisa||||] green-brown is one of my favourite colours for eyes
    [momocrome] also, I can track raccoon by the merest trace of their spoor
    [luisa||||] grey can be interesting, but depends on the lad
    [luisa||||] i am sure that is very nice.
    [county] My eyes are green-brown. I've medium brown hair, and I'm caucasian, but with a fair amount of Iberian blood in me.
    [momocrome] gray is the premium eye colour. don't fool yourself.
    [luisa||||] pfft
    [luisa||||] well, you sound pretty enough
    [momocrome] Iberian isn't caucasian?
    [luisa||||] if the boys i have known like that are anything to go on
    [momocrome] I suppose it is moorish mixed
    [momocrome] I am norse.
    [county] momocrome is also fat.
    [momocrome] bah!
    [county] A big, fat viking.
    [county] With a braided beard.
    [luisa||||] haha
    [county] He pillaged his bride from a nearby village.
    [county] ^ Poetry.
    [luisa||||] haha
    [luisa||||] i am a sexy bitch who wishes boys liked her in a long term relationship way
    [momocrome] I have been with my GF for 3 years 11 months
    [momocrome] I have staying power
    [luisa||||] yes, for her
    [county] luisa, never trust a guy who leaves someone to be with you.
    [luisa||||] i want a superhot boy who is clever
    [luisa||||] and who wants me for a long time
    [momocrome] well, since we haven't married, perhaps we need to move on now.
    [luisa||||] i quite despair of ever attaining that
    [county] You just don't strike me as the committing type, luisa.
    [luisa||||] since bc is my evil twin
    [momocrome] bc would marry you
    [luisa||||] we could never marry, or even date, even when i am in scotland
    [luisa||||] we could probably hang out some
    [luisa||||] but anything more wouldn't even make sense at this point
    [county] You seem too self-absorbed to be faithful. Faithfulness, though the rough spots, requires a real selflessness, and you don't appear to exhibit that. That's not to say that you couldn't be selfless, I have no idea. You don't seem it, though.
    [luisa||||] i am very self-contained
    [luisa||||] it has been a source of stress in every really serious thing with a guy
    [luisa||||] also i have no tolerance for idiocy
    [county] Guys are used to women being somewhat unreserved in their expressions of emotion. Maybe your aloofness is mistaken for lack of interest.
    [momocrome] or frigidity
    [county] Aye.
    [luisa||||] well, i am warm enough in physical aspects
    * em is back
    [luisa||||] i just am cold outside physical expressions of intimacy
    [luisa||||] hullo, em
    [em] wrote another conference abstract, forgot to have dinner.
    [luisa||||] korean
    [county] The physical aspect isn't enough, though.
    [luisa||||] man, because of you, the girls at the restaurant think i've been to korea
    [em] who, me?
    [luisa||||] because i can say all the dishes correctly
    [county] It would just make you seem sluttish.
    [em] bibimbap dolsat?
    [em] kimchi?
    [luisa||||] oh, there's loads of other things besides those
    [em] those are all I know, so don't blame me, dammit
    [luisa||||] haha, but i love them all
    * em wrote a semi-sane abstract tonight
    [luisa||||] sluts regret and get emotionally attached, though
    [luisa||||] i don't
    [momocrome] the most passionate and violent racists I have ever known are koreans that hate other koreans.
    [em] and had a meeting earlier today with one of my profs about the crazy one I did yesterday
    [county] Then you're even worse than a slut, then, if you feel no emotional attachment?
    [em] He said: "I thought you were too young to write such Grand Old Man abstracts!"
    [em] and then kind of mocked me by reading the first couple of sentences with an imitation of Roman Jakobson's accent.

    Outside of the core group , there are supporters,
    wellwishers, and fellow Vlad haters who share one binding aspect
    with us (disdain for Vladinator), but who aren't officially
    affiliated with us. Thus, we do not form a "gang" or any other
    recognizable command structure.

    There many, many people in the world who dislike Lockwood; some
    have formed into small groups to work together, but most act as free
    agents. We don't really know the identities of many people outside
    our core group, nor do we know whether a given person
    outside our core group is a free agent or is affiliated
    with another group.

    These activities are by nature clandestine and solitary, thus we
    only work freely with allies we've met in meatspace and can trust
    absolutely. I have no idea of the exact number of fellow Vlad-haters
    out there (I know it's large), or whether or not any of them have
    formed cabals similar to our own, so please don't go lumping us all
    together.

    Generally, we operate in clusters or "cells" where one member of
    one cell is designated as a messenger with a similarly designated
    member of another cell. If the designated messenger is discovered,
    that individual is "disposed of" and another individual is selected.

    In this way, no single cell is aware of how many members are in
    any other cell and the only thing known of the membership of other
    cells is the mutual identities of the messengers. Each cell is
    constructed such that only the messenger from one other cell
    is in contact with the messenger of any given cell. Therefore, we
    cannot form a "gang" as you call it.

    Instead, you would be more correct to refer to us as a "sweeping
    cluster of antibodies reacting to a foreign body in order to prevent
    it from damaging the host."

    Thanks bunches.

  152. Evil Is Good by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Why Evil is Good

    I hate victims. Victims are the albatross hung from the neck of society. The
    term is not even acknowledged by any other species. I am certain if there are
    intelligent beings elsewhere in the universe, they follow the strict principle
    of Natural Selection. Only the Strong shall survive. Mankind cannot survive
    as long as its virility is diluted by the weak.

    Peace-and-Love hippies, retards, cripples, depressives, sickling, addicts
    and whiners are all victims of one kind or another. Larger examples of victims
    can also be found: the entire nations of Israel and Englund, for example, are
    constantly victimized and/or whining about their lack of power in the world. In
    fact, the entire continent of Europe is nothing but a festering sewer of whiners
    and welfare states. If we, the strongest nation on Earth, had a decent Ruler,
    the entire junk-heap of Eurotrash would be burned to create a cloud of such lethal
    density it would waft over to Asia and take out the victims that were left over from
    World War II. The great black column of suffocating smoke would rise high into the
    atmosphere, reaching for the very edges of outer space - a giant, living monument
    to our strength. The unviable ashes of the once living garbage would orbit the Earth,
    forever reminding future generations of the price of weakness.

    World War II. Probably the greatest single era in the history of the planet, barring
    the time before Man and Man's distorted, unnatural philosophies of "common good" and
    "protecting the innocent". The time of Germany and its rule by a man of great vision.
    A man who saw the virtue of evil. Every single class of victim described above was
    dealt with in the harshest possible manner. Most people focus on the genocidal aspect
    of Hitler's activities but his vision was much wider, encompassing every brand of
    weakling from ethnic victims to sexual deviants. Unfortunately the United States,
    led by a cripple, had to involve our great military might on the wrong side of the
    war. The least Roosevelt could have done was to allow Germany to finish raping
    France and reduce Englund to rubble.

    We paid for our mistake in World War II. We were punished for choosing the wrong
    side in the Great War by a period of non-violent "Cold War". The term "Cold War"
    itself is the mark of the true Beast: the peace lover. A true leader - a Ruler -
    would have unleashed the full might of our nuclear arsenal upon every nation on the
    Earth, banishing them forever to particles of glowing dust blowing through the winds
    of history. And look what our lack of action has gotten us: A planet filled with
    human garbage, eternal sufferers suckling from the breast of the Mighty.

    It is beyond my comprehension. Not only am I forced to allow the weak to survive,
    but I - we - are forced to subsidize their pathetic existence. Every cripple
    creeping along the sidewalk. Every degenerate elderly woman with osteoporosis who
    parks in the handicap parking spot. Every worthless, lazy hippy who cries for peace
    and marches on a public university. Every sickling child perpetually hospitalized
    because its fetid welfare mother smoked too many drugs during her pregnancy. Every
    30 year old retard wiping its nose all over its Scooby Doo coloring book. Every
    drunk little whore seeking "justice" in our courts for her rape. All of them,
    and more, deserve nothing but death. In the Natural World, every single one of these
    leeches would be lion fodder.

    Even the "Good Book", the Bible - which is actually nothing more than the sick fantasies
    of opium addicts - predicts the outcome of Nature: "The meek shall inherit the Earth".
    Yes, I know what you're saying, but you are wrong. This phrase has been twisted by the
    weak, the cripple, the Jew to give their pathetic lives some ray of hope. This phrase
    does not mean that the Victim will Rule the world. That is laughable. That is impossible.
    The meek shall inherit the Earth for the one and only reason that they will be buried in
    it.

    To the strong who have read this: Thank you. Together, we will conquer. To the weak who
    will whine in the comments below: Your days are numbered, trash.

    It's been my experience that people who cry "whaaa, whaaa, I'm going to sue you!" or "whaaa, whaaa, I'm going to come to your house and kick your ass!" or "whaaa, whaaa, I'm going to call the police and have them arrest you for being mean to me" whenever they feel personally offended on the Internet tend to be terribly immature and have serious emotional problems. People who aren't confident with themselves and feel inferior about their own abilities try to boost their own self-esteem by making empty threats of lawsuits or physical assault whenever they're on the losing end of a flamewar.

    His face will turn red, he'll start to wheeze and stutter, and he will angrily type, "Yeah, well, just wait until I tell my uncle at the CIA about how rude you've been to me! He'll come and arrest you and you'll go to jail and I'll sue you for everything you have! Then I'll kick your ass, and have sex with your girlfriend!"

    He will then drag his corpulent, out-of-shape, virginal body across the basement to bed and drift off to slumber thinking "Wow, I'm sure I really scared those bastards! I'm sure they'll think twice before disagreeing with ME again!" He'll feel only a slight twinge of hollow emptiness the next day when he sees his uncle, who rather than working for the CIA, is actually the assistant janitor at the local McDonald's.

    A few people who seem to fit the stereotype quite well of being absolute assholes on the Internet and then threatening to sue or call the FBI, CIA, and KGB when anyone who calls them on it:

    Bernard Shifman

    Robert Novak

    Were these three people long-lost triplets, seperated at birth? Why do they behave in exactly the same way? Do they share a common mental disease? Or are they all actually the same person? We may never know.

    [momocrome] in CA, that is the usual case. cheap mexican cigarettes are smuggled in and sold for normal prices, sans excise
    [momocrome] the difference in quality is marked

    [county] The only one I can really recall is the white one.
    [momocrome] i would take a tear encrusted costume from her
    [momocrome] I would make her cry.
    [county] You wouldn't, though.
    [county] You might permit yourself to briefly think about it while she bossed you around, I'll grant you that.
    *** momocrome is now known as vladequacy
    [vladequacy] i would make her cry cause she wouldn't know who I am
    [county] She'd weep out of longing to know you?
    [vladequacy] oh no
    [county] You're not making much sense.
    [vladequacy] she'd weep at the sight of my ski mask!
    [vladequacy] no no no
    *** vladequacy is now known as momocrome
    [county] You (thankfully) haven't it in you.
    [momocrome] it is true
    [county] It might be fun to make luisa cry, but I'm sure it would require more time and effort than it's worth.
    [momocrome] it might be easy
    [county] You're right, it might be.
    [momocrome] just wisper to her every night about her shortcomings
    [county] Every night?
    [county] How many nights?
    [momocrome] and then set it up to say two or three keywords in a certain sequence to crush her will
    [county] See, that's what I meant by time.
    [momocrome] those would be nights spent next to her lithe figure, though
    [momocrome] not a waste, a benefit
    [county] You've an interesting idea about the female psyche, momocrome.
    [me0w] Night night
    [momocrome] night
    * momocrome fetches 'nother beer
    [county] OK, so I whisper the words, she cries, then what?
    [county] Can I grind her to dust and throw her into the wind?
    [momocrome] sure
    [momocrome] or change her being for the simple thrill
    [momocrome] mold her life to your whim
    [momocrome] whatever suits your fancy
    [momocrome] I am turning my girl into a goth
    [county] I thought she was to begin with.
    [momocrome] just cause she 'hates goths'
    [county] Or was she more a punk?
    [momocrome] well, she is goth-ish without admitting it
    [county] So you're not actually doing anything at all, just taking credit for a preexistent state of affairs.
    [momocrome] and somewhat punk. bitch is probably a better description
    [momocrome] heh
    [county] Or is that too much honesty?
    [county] I can tone it down, if you like.
    [momocrome] no. I have turned her around
    [momocrome] now, for example, she listens mostly to bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy
    [momocrome] in her car
    [momocrome] sheonce hit me with her fist for daring to suggest such dreadful music!
    [momocrome] bah
    [momocrome] tastes change
    [momocrome] I can't honestly take credit for it
    [county] She hit you with her fist?
    [county] And you tolerated it!?
    [momocrome] why not?
    [momocrome] it is well within my threshold to tolerate
    [county] It's quite disrespectful.
    [momocrome] she is 'spunky' like that
    [momocrome] she throws things at walls
    [momocrome] slams doors
    [momocrome] hangs up on people
    [county] Sounds like my sister, of whom I am not particularly fond.
    [luisa||||] heh
    [momocrome] is your sister self absorbed and tempermental?
    [luisa||||] you couldn't make me cry that way, county
    [luisa||||] emotional torture is bad form and doesn't really work
    [momocrome] my GF is not self absorbed or tempermental
    [momocrome] she is obstinate and hysterical
    [momocrome] hmm
    [momocrome] maybe I am drunk?
    [county] luisa, I would make you cry somehow.
    [momocrome] the fastest road to this destination is with puppy murder
    [momocrome] get a puppy, let her fawn over it a bit, then hack its' head clean off
    [county] I will make you cry, I do so swear.
    [luisa||||] nah, you cannot
    [momocrome] it is how the Nazis trained their officers
    [luisa||||] i don't always know why i cry
    [luisa||||] but i do know boys aren't able to make it happen
    [county] I don't care how long I have to employ arcane magic and technology to keep us both alive, but I will make you cry.
    [county] Even if I must delight you, bore you, torture you, romance you, shun you, and pleasure you for tens of thousands of years, I will succeed.
    [luisa||||] nope, you'll not
    [county] We'll see who has the last laugh.
    [luisa||||] hehe.
    [county] That was a laugh, sure, but was it the last?
    [county] Haha!
    [county] Apparently not.
    [luisa||||] hoho!
    [county] Oh stop, you.
    [luisa||||] certainement, chere
    [momocrome] county, luisa||||, I hate to mention this
    [county] Yet you're going to anyway?
    [county] Why, I wonder?
    [momocrome] but if those pics floating around of luisa|||| are accurate
    [momocrome] she is my ideal woman
    [county] Well, which ones?
    [momocrome] i am compelled to finally mention it
    [momocrome] by way of booze
    [county] She doesn't actually look like a monkey, if those are the ones you're thinking of.
    [momocrome] do you suppose those are the ones to which I refer?
    [momocrome] I am probably just grasping at any outlet though
    [county] Well, are you talking about the ones of a topless young black girl with a tattoo?
    [momocrome] she was wearing a nice dress in the photos I saw
    [momocrome] don't recall toplessness
    [momocrome] bc had them on his server
    [county] The topless girl with the tattoo isn't luisa.
    [county] There are some ones of the real luisa wearing scandelously short dresses and skirts, though.
    [momocrome] those are probably the ones I am thinking of
    [county] OK.
    [county] Well, get in line, buddy.
    [momocrome] no prob'
    [momocrome] i already have a girl, after all
    [county] Yes, rub that in.
    [county] Son of a bitch!
    [luisa||||] yeah, i notice that about guys
    [luisa||||] they find me quite attractive
    [momocrome] and a bunch of airline miles!
    [luisa||||] but at the end of the day, i haven't got them as boyfriends
    [luisa||||] some less hot chick does
    [momocrome] I can even upgrade to first class en route to Houston
    [luisa||||] what's up with that?
    [county] God damn you, luisa.
    [county] bc took me off the access list, and I know it's your fault.
    [momocrome] you'd have your pick in Seattle
    [luisa||||] bc loves you
    [luisa||||] no i wouldn't
    [luisa||||] they wouldn't even talk to me
    [county] He thinks I'm tempermental, untrustworthy, and fiery, though.
    [luisa||||] just stare and smile some
    [county] He doesn't think I'm fit to hold power.
    [luisa||||] well, you are at that
    [momocrome] well, if either qpt or I saw you on the bus, we'd both make our moves
    [luisa||||] pfft
    [luisa||||] well, i know qp is a doll
    [momocrome] I am a Viking Warlord of a doll
    [luisa||||] but i only like blond things for sport
    [county] I'm not sure I'd recognize luisa.
    [luisa||||] and qp is blonde
    [county] I'm not.
    [luisa||||] well, you should be
    [momocrome] sure, shoot me down already.
    [momocrome] :(
    [luisa||||] next you'll be telling me you're not attractive, either
    [momocrome] I might be as handsome as Yanni!
    [luisa||||] and that you aren't a boy at all.
    [county] I could say all of that.
    [county] Have, at one point or another.
    [luisa||||] so you are a girl?
    [county] No, I'm not, sadly.
    [luisa||||] a pity
    [luisa||||] i like girls for sport well enough
    [county] What sort of sport?
    [momocrome] that's itg.
    [momocrome] dammit
    [momocrome] I have a hangnail all bandaged up
    [momocrome] disrupts the typing
    [luisa||||] what a night
    [momocrome] you scoff.
    [luisa||||] i chose irc and light reading and 80s music at home over 80s music in a club and loads of pointless drinking
    [momocrome] but I tried to proclaim my love
    [luisa||||] eh, you are drunqk and claimed
    [luisa||||] and also non-local
    *** ubu_away has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 360 seconds)
    [county] I tried to proclaim my love, too.
    [luisa||||] you are also drunk and non-local
    [luisa||||] also, i have no idea what you look like
    [county] You are so shallow!
    [county] And you do know. bc showed you a picture.
    [county] I asked him and he confirmed.
    [luisa||||] i have no idea what picture
    [county] I looked for it the other day, it wasn't online anymore.
    [luisa||||] a shame
    [county] It was a poor picture, anyway.
    [county] I've gotten better looking in my twenties. I was quite pleased.
    [luisa||||] well, it's no matter to me
    [county] Yes it is. You prefer not to look at ugly pictures.
    [luisa||||] you are either pasty faced dork or rather decent looking
    [county] Everyone does.
    [luisa||||] i shall never know which
    * county gets an idea.
    [county] If I were really pasty and really dorky, might you be brought to tears at the sight of me?
    [luisa||||] no.
    [luisa||||] else i'd weep daily
    [luisa||||] just from walking around and about
    [county] What's your opinion of ubu's picture?
    [county] I was rather surprised.
    [county] I'm not convinced it's him.
    [luisa||||] if that is him, goddamn
    [luisa||||] that's really it.
    [county] And to think, he's been hitting on li'l ol' me!
    [county] I feel flattered.
    [luisa||||] heheh
    [luisa||||] the thing is though
    [luisa||||] it would be totally typical for a boy like him to look like that
    [county] How do you mean?
    [momocrome] http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/zones/reviews/ pc/jul01/legendsMM01.jpg
    [luisa||||] i knew a guy similar in personality to him online
    [momocrome] images fdrom a game I made
    [luisa||||] the guy was so cagey about his appearance
    [luisa||||] but he was super fucking gorgeous
    [luisa||||] but also an invalid recluse who resided on his parents' estate
    [luisa||||] i miss him sometimes
    [county] haha! So you've mistaken my own hesitance to give out a picture for attractiveness.
    [county] That's amusing.
    [luisa||||] in your case, no
    [county] You have to realize that most people who don't want to be seen simply do it out of ugliness.
    [luisa||||] i was speaking of ubu's image that he chose to pony up
    [luisa||||] nearly all the cagey guys i have met first online were superhot
    [luisa||||] they just felt they lacked appeal
    [county] I know that you were talking about ubu, but I was noting that it explained your somewhat bizarre notions about me.
    [luisa||||] k5 has unfortunately shown me the more homely-ass end of the spectrum
    [county] I don't know why you can't accept me as I am :(
    [luisa||||] i haven't any idea what you am
    [luisa||||] as in other areas of my life, i was horribly spoilt in my early online experiences
    [luisa||||] pretty much everyone was very physically attractive, and also fun to hang out with offline
    [luisa||||] mostly the people i get along with best online are also physically attractive
    [momocrome] county's eyes arent gray.
    [luisa||||] not every time, but 9/10
    [momocrome] they are green-brown
    [luisa||||] don't taunt, momo ;p
    [momocrome] mine are gray.
    [luisa||||] green-brown is one of my favourite colours for eyes
    [momocrome] also, I can track raccoon by the merest trace of their spoor
    [luisa||||] grey can be interesting, but depends on the lad
    [luisa||||] i am sure that is very nice.
    [county] My eyes are green-brown. I've medium brown hair, and I'm caucasian, but with a fair amount of Iberian blood in me.
    [momocrome] gray is the premium eye colour. don't fool yourself.
    [luisa||||] pfft
    [luisa||||] well, you sound pretty enough
    [momocrome] Iberian isn't caucasian?
    [luisa||||] if the boys i have known like that are anything to go on
    [momocrome] I suppose it is moorish mixed
    [momocrome] I am norse.
    [county] momocrome is also fat.
    [momocrome] bah!
    [county] A big, fat viking.
    [county] With a braided beard.
    [luisa||||] haha
    [county] He pillaged his bride from a nearby village.
    [county] ^ Poetry.
    [luisa||||] haha
    [luisa||||] i am a sexy bitch who wishes boys liked her in a long term relationship way
    [momocrome] I have been with my GF for 3 years 11 months
    [momocrome] I have staying power
    [luisa||||] yes, for her
    [county] luisa, never trust a guy who leaves someone to be with you.
    [luisa||||] i want a superhot boy who is clever
    [luisa||||] and who wants me for a long time
    [momocrome] well, since we haven't married, perhaps we need to move on now.
    [luisa||||] i quite despair of ever attaining that
    [county] You just don't strike me as the committing type, luisa.
    [luisa||||] since bc is my evil twin
    [momocrome] bc would marry you
    [luisa||||] we could never marry, or even date, even when i am in scotland
    [luisa||||] we could probably hang out some
    [luisa||||] but anything more wouldn't even make sense at this point
    [county] You seem too self-absorbed to be faithful. Faithfulness, though the rough spots, requires a real selflessness, and you don't appear to exhibit that. That's not to say that you couldn't be selfless, I have no idea. You don't seem it, though.
    [luisa||||] i am very self-contained
    [luisa||||] it has been a source of stress in every really serious thing with a guy
    [luisa||||] also i have no tolerance for idiocy
    [county] Guys are used to women being somewhat unreserved in their expressions of emotion. Maybe your aloofness is mistaken for lack of interest.
    [momocrome] or frigidity
    [county] Aye.
    [luisa||||] well, i am warm enough in physical aspects
    * em is back
    [luisa||||] i just am cold outside physical expressions of intimacy
    [luisa||||] hullo, em
    [em] wrote another conference abstract, forgot to have dinner.
    [luisa||||] korean
    [county] The physical aspect isn't enough, though.
    [luisa||||] man, because of you, the girls at the restaurant think i've been to korea
    [em] who, me?
    [luisa||||] because i can say all the dishes correctly
    [county] It would just make you seem sluttish.
    [em] bibimbap dolsat?
    [em] kimchi?
    [luisa||||] oh, there's loads of other things besides those
    [em] those are all I know, so don't blame me, dammit
    [luisa||||] haha, but i love them all
    * em wrote a semi-sane abstract tonight
    [luisa||||] sluts regret and get emotionally attached, though
    [luisa||||] i don't
    [momocrome] the most passionate and violent racists I have ever known are koreans that hate other koreans.
    [em] and had a meeting earlier today with one of my profs about the crazy one I did yesterday
    [county] Then you're even worse than a slut, then, if you feel no emotional attachment?
    [em] He said: "I thought you were too young to write such Grand Old Man abstracts!"
    [em] and then kind of mocked me by reading the first couple of sentences with an imitation of Roman Jakobson's accent.
    [em] (yeah, my prof was a friend of Jakobson. sue me.)
    *** momocrome is now known as Linux
    [luisa||||] i feel emotional attachment
    * em thinks Linux should be banned in this channel.
    [luisa||||] it is just not something i bother the boy with
    [county] You just said you didn't.
    [county] The boy wants to be bothered with it, you nut!
    [Linux] em, I think they are ripping on you in trolltalk
    [luisa||||] no, that is just asking for rejection
    [county] Of course, and there's the rub.
    [em] luisa||||: i think you care too much.
    [luisa||||] i always reject guys who want me lots
    [Linux] em, with your actual christian name
    [em] what's the URL for trolltalk?
    * em is mildly curious.
    [county] Maybe there are some guys who are more charitable than you, luisa.
    [county] I suspect there are.
    [Linux] http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=20721&cid=4679 945
    [luisa||||] i haven't met any
    *** Retrieving #adequacy info...
    [county] Anyway, wanting you a lot right after meeting you and wanting you a lot after a few months of seeing each other frequently strike me as crucially different states of affairs.
    [luisa||||] well, i reject in both cases
    [luisa||||] usually because the guy isn't the right sort for my tastes
    [county] Why?
    [luisa||||] the ones i want will not suffer through the emotional coldness to stay with me
    [county] What do you want? To love and be loved, but never admit it or have it be admitted to you?
    * em looks at the trolltalk thing.
    * em yawns.
    [luisa||||] heh, probably, county
    [Linux] there is a traiteor in the midst of the old inchfan crowd
    [Linux] traitor
    [Linux] gah
    [Linux] ok, just thought you should know
    * em yawns.
    [county] Suffer through it? Why would they? From their perspective, you're frigid or not interested, and sticking around would be foolish and self-indulgent. They're only trying to make a graceful retreat when they can.
    [em] who the hell is matt stanton?
    [Linux] no idea
    [Linux] it does bring up your stanford page as the first hit on google
    [Linux] and judging by how hard they are harassing vlad, i'd keep an eye on things
    * em doesn't really care by now.
    [county] I'm glad my name wasn't on that list.
    [county] I don't want to be targeted by those freaks!
    [luisa||||] they know i'm interested, county
    [county] Interested really isn't enough.
    [county] Interested is wasting their time, after a point.
    [county] They need to know you have some level of commitment.
    [luisa||||] i'd stay only with them and not have any others, if they asked
    [luisa||||] the boys i tend to like
    [luisa||||] but they seem to all think i should be with someone more attractive physically
    [county] Can you honestly be so dense?
    * em realizes who Matt Stanton is, and simultaneously, the identity of the perpetrator.
    [Linux] osm
    [Linux] not that I know who matt stanton is
    [county] Who is Matt Stanton?
    [Linux] they are calling the whole bunch + vlad 'Vladequacy' and targetting all
    *** luisa||| (~happy@dialup-64.152.241.224.Dial1.Houston1.Level 3.net) has joined #adequacy
    [luisa|||] how am i dense when the boys are the ones saying i'm too pretty for them to deserve?
    [county] luisa, the simple fact is that until you're willing to make yourself more emotionally vulnerable, you will never find what you want.

    Dear Trolls,

    It has occured to me that you think that chainrust is me. I have received replies for emails I did not write, and other nonsense.

    Thankfully, Chainrust (aka Pumpernickel and other nicks according to you) has contacted me to make the situation clear. Let me clear it further for the challenged of us out there:

    Chainrust's name is not Jared Stattlemeyer. You have hardly any chance of finding his real identity (no, I will not tell you).

    I am not Chainrust of Adequacy or Slashdot or K5.

    The phone numbers you have published are not mine, but they may be of some other Jared Stattlemeyer, an Astroglide user in Jerusalem. The same goes for the email addresses.

    In short, you are dumb. Very very dumb. The next time you decide that you can come to the right conclusions based on an incomplete evidence, please remember the above.

    Oh, and by the way. I have your IPs. You visited my site, after all, didn't you? Does 64.94.151.187 look familiar? I have more. Think about that if you decide to harass that fellow in Jerusalem via phone. I will be the first to consult him on how to file a formal complaint with the police (I happen to volunteer in the Civil Guard). The "Jewish country" and US have signed agreements just for such cases.

    Best regards,

  163. Evil Is Good by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Why Evil is Good

    I hate victims. Victims are the albatross hung from the neck of society. The
    term is not even acknowledged by any other species. I am certain if there are
    intelligent beings elsewhere in the universe, they follow the strict principle
    of Natural Selection. Only the Strong shall survive. Mankind cannot survive
    as long as its virility is diluted by the weak.

    Peace-and-Love hippies, retards, cripples, depressives, sickling, addicts
    and whiners are all victims of one kind or another. Larger examples of victims
    can also be found: the entire nations of Israel and Englund, for example, are
    constantly victimized and/or whining about their lack of power in the world. In
    fact, the entire continent of Europe is nothing but a festering sewer of whiners
    and welfare states. If we, the strongest nation on Earth, had a decent Ruler,
    the entire junk-heap of Eurotrash would be burned to create a cloud of such lethal
    density it would waft over to Asia and take out the victims that were left over from
    World War II. The great black column of suffocating smoke would rise high into the
    atmosphere, reaching for the very edges of outer space - a giant, living monument
    to our strength. The unviable ashes of the once living garbage would orbit the Earth,
    forever reminding future generations of the price of weakness.

    World War II. Probably the greatest single era in the history of the planet, barring
    the time before Man and Man's distorted, unnatural philosophies of "common good" and
    "protecting the innocent". The time of Germany and its rule by a man of great vision.
    A man who saw the virtue of evil. Every single class of victim described above was
    dealt with in the harshest possible manner. Most people focus on the genocidal aspect
    of Hitler's activities but his vision was much wider, encompassing every brand of
    weakling from ethnic victims to sexual deviants. Unfortunately the United States,
    led by a cripple, had to involve our great military might on the wrong side of the
    war. The least Roosevelt could have done was to allow Germany to finish raping
    France and reduce Englund to rubble.

    We paid for our mistake in World War II. We were punished for choosing the wrong
    side in the Great War by a period of non-violent "Cold War". The term "Cold War"
    itself is the mark of the true Beast: the peace lover. A true leader - a Ruler -
    would have unleashed the full might of our nuclear arsenal upon every nation on the
    Earth, banishing them forever to particles of glowing dust blowing through the winds
    of history. And look what our lack of action has gotten us: A planet filled with
    human garbage, eternal sufferers suckling from the breast of the Mighty.

    It is beyond my comprehension. Not only am I forced to allow the weak to survive,
    but I - we - are forced to subsidize their pathetic existence. Every cripple
    creeping along the sidewalk. Every degenerate elderly woman with osteoporosis who
    parks in the handicap parking spot. Every worthless, lazy hippy who cries for peace
    and marches on a public university. Every sickling child perpetually hospitalized
    because its fetid welfare mother smoked too many drugs during her pregnancy. Every
    30 year old retard wiping its nose all over its Scooby Doo coloring book. Every
    drunk little whore seeking "justice" in our courts for her rape. All of them,
    and more, deserve nothing but death. In the Natural World, every single one of these
    leeches would be lion fodder.

    Even the "Good Book", the Bible - which is actually nothing more than the sick fantasies
    of opium addicts - predicts the outcome of Nature: "The meek shall inherit the Earth".
    Yes, I know what you're saying, but you are wrong. This phrase has been twisted by the
    weak, the cripple, the Jew to give their pathetic lives some ray of hope. This phrase
    does not mean that the Victim will Rule the world. That is laughable. That is impossible.
    The meek shall inherit the Earth for the one and only reason that they will be buried in
    it.

    To the strong who have read this: Thank you. Together, we will conquer. To the weak who
    will whine in the comments below: Your days are numbered, trash.

    [county] Come on.
    [luisa|||] i love cheesy 80s music
    [luisa|||] nah, you are just different
    [luisa|||] the measure would be if i made you feel weak and helplessly resentful
    [luisa|||] that's inferior
    [luisa|||] and only assessable face to face
    [Linux] luisa|||, you spin me twice 'round, baby.
    [county] If you made me feel weak and helplessly resentful? Haha.
    [luisa|||] well, anyone who feels like a lesser person probably is
    [luisa|||] or at least is not worth bothering with
    [em] you guys still going on about this? God.
    [county] Only a few people have made me inferior, and none of them were at all like you.
    [luisa|||] it is friday night and neither of us are out carousing, em
    [luisa|||] whatever did you expect would occur?
    [em] neither am I.
    [luisa|||] but you are at uni
    [county] em, have you been drinking?
    [em] well, I went to a chamber chorale concert.
    [em] county: not a drop
    [em] maybe I should.
    [county] Probably. It makes you more tolerant.
    [luisa|||] anyhow, county, it is all moot
    [luisa|||] i am not going to bed with you
    [luisa|||] so the question of whether you are inferior or not will never come up
    [county] I'm not going to bed with you. What of it?
    [county] Anyway, it has come up, and it's been settled. I'm superior.
    [luisa|||] if you feel that you are
    [luisa|||] i do rather want to go to bed
    [luisa|||] but i just finished supper

    [bc] hello
    [me0w] Hi bc
    [bc] hellow me0wsy
    * bc was just in the pub
    [bc] and you know what?
    [me0w] What?
    [bc] a woman in her late forties started coming onto me something dreadful
    [bc] unlike some, I wasn't in the least tempted
    [me0w] Ahhh ... So you had no Mr.Buck temptations ..
    [bc] certainly not :)
    [me0w] Well done!
    [bc] it's not a great achievement, I think these things are in your nature.
    [bc] Either you adore OAP's, or you don't.
    [bc] cool
    [bc] scotland beat south africa at the rugby!
    [me0w] I think though, in Mr. Buck's case, he may have been wearing some good quality Beer Goggles.
    [bc] that's a point. Still, I did have 3 pints, I wasn't entirely sober, but probably not as many Mr Buck. I think alcohol just decreases your reserve, it doesn't make you suddenly find things attractive you don't while sober
    [bc] I mean, if you wake up after a night out with a member of your own sex (for example), it prolly says something
    * bc has some prawns
    [me0w] This is why everyone needs a voice of reason when drinking. I take mine along whenever I am going to be consuming cast quantities of alcohol (the voice of reason is also known as the designated driver).
    [bc] hehe
    [me0w] cast = vast
    [bc] strange, I don't have problems. In fact, I reject much more impressively and fullsomely when drunk than when sober. I don't need no stinkin' voice of reason!
    [me0w] When I am intoxicated I run across a problem .... my tongue feels funny and I like to lick things (people). I need a voice of reason to keep me out of trouble.
    [bc] haha! I remember you mentioning this before. That's an awful affliction, though prolly pretty amusing
    [me0w] And apparently I become quite the mischevious girl and for this I also need the voice.
    [bc] to stop you mixing it up too much? Playing tricks and pranks
    [me0w] And the licking ...
    [bc] this makes you sound like quite the handful when pissed
    [me0w] A giggly handful, yes.
    [me0w] That's why I need a voice of reason.
    [bc] I don't think I'm too bad when drunk. In fact, I'm often the voice of reason for other people, despite that we have all drunk hideous amounts. I'm just the same as usual, but more exhuberantly, I suppose. I think I have a good head for booze by nature, that's prolly why
    [bc] mm that was tasty
    [bc] post-prandial smoke time
    [me0w] enjoy
    * bc wonders whether to watch "contact" on dvd, which he has, but hasn't watched, though he read the book years ago
    [bc] which I liked, I liked the way it was all about revelation, and its validity
    [bc] the woman in it was sort of like a hardcore kurobot at first, you know, utterly logical positivist and materialist and dismissive of anything that can't be proved utterly, of revelation, till it all comes back and bites her when she has her own revelatory experience
    [me0w] I don't think I have ever seen this film.
    [bc] it's supposed to be decent.
    [bc] I think a lot of people hated it, and another lot of people loved it
    [me0w] I will have to add it to my must see list of films.
    [bc] it's a sort of SF thing, in a way, and I think a lot of the people who disliked it were expecting some usual guns'n'aliens shite
    [me0w] I normally don't watch 'alien' movies.
    [bc] it's not really like that. The book wasn't at least. It's set present day
    [bc] they discover an alien signal
    [bc] this woman does
    [bc] and there's lots of politics and argument about it
    [bc] and she is hardcore rationalist and dismissive of the religious people
    [bc] but in the end, she ends up having an experience that everybody doubts she had, a revelation..

    [bc] Catch 22 then
    [bc] you need some caffeine to rouse you to pour it :\

    [me0w] Well, I think the "I think you a cunt" might be a bit insulting
    [bc] it's possible ;)
    [me0w] For some anyway
    [me0w] I might take that as a compliment.
    [bc] I'd just laugh and respond in kind
    [bc] I don't understand the people who get so worked up about lack of civility on the internet
    [bc] it's all just a laugh
    [me0w] It is all for my amusement
    [bc] when ubu and I met, we were calling each other cunts immediately, and being dreadfully insulting. We knew instantly we liked the other
    [me0w] That is when you know it is true love.
    [bc] indeed. I don't love ubu like a brother, I love him like the homosexual partner I never had

    [bc] hi, gurrrrl
    [gurl] hullo, you
    [me0w] Hello
    [gurl] christ i overslept
    [bc] what time is it where you are? 11:30?
    [gurl] twelve thirty
    [bc] damn firemen
    [bc] striking bastards, is what they are
    [bc] there was a housefire here, the soldiers had to break the picketlines, and 6 people were injured due to smoke inhallation. The firemen deliberately tried to stop the aid going out to the fire
    [me0w] That isn't good.
    [me0w] I can understand the strike, but preventing aid is not ethical.
    [bc] the fire service should be shut down and replaced with a nice big charity
    [bc] they get £21,000 as a starting wage, the firemen, which is well above the national average wage, After a few years, it rises considerably further, and they have already been offered an 11% raise and rejected it - they are going for 30% (!)
    [bc] for what? 99% of the time they are sitting about playing cards
    [me0w] 21,000 is far too little
    [bc] the fire service should be like the RNLI
    [bc] me0w, that's a starting wage for a newly qualified fireman
    [bc] the national average wage for everyone is £17,000
    [bc] this isn't a rich country like America, with its closer embrace of capitalism, where the national average is more like £30,000
    [me0w] I guess I just know people who make more than that.
    [me0w] I still think 21,000 is rather low
    [bc] £21,000 is perfectly decent as a starting wage
    [bc] nurses get £14,000, soldiers £16000, as starting wages
    [bc] policemen £17,000
    [me0w] Nurses should get more, as well as police men
    [me0w] The train people should get less.
    [bc] well, ideally I'm sure everybody would be getting £1,000,000 annually, but I'm not willing to see the government take more than half my earnings away to give to these people. If they don't want to work for those wages, they can switch to the private sector.
    [bc] and yes, the train sods especially suck
    [bc] they went on strike at glasgow underground forcing me to walk 6 miles through highly dodgy parts of glasgow in the rain
    [me0w] I think that there are certain professions that should be paid more ... firefighters, police, nurses, teachers
    [bc] I think it is fine, as long as the money isn't stolen by threat of violence off others to do so.
    [gurl] er, no.
    [bc] a free market would sort them out, it is only ever public sector workers that strike anyway.
    [gurl] nothing teachers do warrants more money
    [bc] they'd pay fairly
    [gurl] nurses get paid very well for their hours and labour
    [me0w] nurses are underpaid
    [gurl] at least, if the flooded nursing schools are any indication
    [bc] also, funnily enough teachers in scotland just got a 25% increase a couple of years ago. There is now a big "brain drain" of the best teachers from england to scotland. heh!
    [me0w] Which is why there are a shortage - they go places where they will be better paid
    [gurl] yes, and that is the hospital down the road
    [gurl] it is a highly paid but stressful job
    [gurl] not everyone can hack it
    [gurl] thus, the shortage
    [bc] here, all the best doctors and nurses go to America
    [bc] where they get paid decently
    [me0w] A large number of nursing students in Canada go to the US, and the Middle East - they are usually paid more than double what they make here
    [bc] we in turn import from India and scandinavia
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] but scanadinavia is supposed to be the perfect country!
    [gurl] all socialist paradise and whatnot
    [gurl] well, the countries in that region
    [bc] not judging by the delectable nurses at my local hospital, loads of whom are danish, norwegian, swedish
    [gurl] well, being raised socialist apparently doesn't kill the desire to earn a fair wage for services and all that
    [bc] norwegian especially, but I think that is because lots of norwegians come to scotland anyway, cos it is quite close
    [gurl] lord, i don't want to go bed shopping
    [bc] it certainly doesn't, gurl
    [bc] shopping in bed, or shopping for a bed?
    [gurl] for a bed
    [bc] get one that doesn't creak or have annoying springs
    [bc] the best bed I ever had was one that was a platform of wood planks, with a really thin mattress on top
    [bc] that thing was great
    [bc] prolly quite cheap, too
    [gurl] i just want a futon
    [bc] never tried one of those, are they good?
    [me0w] Get a sturdy futon
    [me0w] Over time the frame can bend
    [gurl] i was thinking a metal one
    [me0w] You'll want a thick mattress on it (if they give that option)
    [bc] cool
    * bc watches Only Fools and Horses
    [gurl] actually, i will go tomorrow since i cannot carry the sodding thing home with me
    [bc] hehe
    [gurl] i think i'll just take the bed frame from my old bed
    [gurl] and buy a new mattress
    [bc] heh. Sounds good

    [bc] I know someone who served in it for 21 years
    [gurl] it is terribly intensive
    [bc] yes
    [bc] long marching through the desert and stuff
    [gurl] and no girls allowed!
    [bc] http://britishsas.8m.com/training.html
    [bc] ^I think that is about the globally hardest training&selection for any regiment
    [bc] they are insane
    [bc] as part of it, they have the applicant (after a week of insane marching and activity) look after a pet rabbit in the mountains for a while. he is completely alone, and must forage for his own food and protect the rabbit for ages. Then, he recieves an order to kill and eat the rabbit
    [bc] quite sadistic ;)
    [gurl] haha
    [gurl] there's a kill house?!
    [bc] they are special forces
    [bc] anti-terrorist stuff is one of their duties
    [bc] storming embassies, say, like when they stormed the Iranian embassy and freed all the hostages in London in the 80's
    [bc] they were the first special forces unit in the world, created during WWII
    [gurl] lordy
    [bc] Delta Force in the US was founded in the 70's by an American officer who lobbied for it after seeing the SAS and serving in an exchange program in the UK army
    [bc] but they aren't as good. They have a slightly different ethos. Delta Force peeps tend to be really big and brawny, and their modus operandi is to be flown in on a big helicopter and shoot everything up before being flown away again
    [bc] the SAS are different, in that they believe in more traditional marching and approaching the target on foot. They tend to get dropped far away, sneak about hundreds of miles, attack, and sneak away. And they operate in teams of 8 generally
    [bc] http://home.hccnet.nl/22.sas/Operation%20Nimrod.ht ml
    [bc] ^that was mad
    [bc] I remember watching it on tv
    [gurl] so the sas do it properlike
    [gurl] well, more like people think such things work
    [bc] of course! ie, no hostage deaths, all terrorists dead, seemingly miraculously
    [bc] it's sort of amazing
    [bc] another famous one was the scud stuff during the gulf war
    [bc] one of their missions went wrong, they were given wrong maps
    [bc] and they were euipped for desert conditions, but it was frequently -20C and snowing etc
    [bc] and they got discovered and stormed by two lorry loads of iraqi tropps, tanks, etc, from a local base
    [bc] so the 8 of them killed ALL of them, then walked 100km overnight carrying 80lb bergens in freezing conditions
    [bc] they are sort of insane those people. Not qute normal, but very good at what they do (wholesale, efficient slaughter)

    [gurl] reminds me of stephen king's gunslinger
    [bc] so canadians and australians and NZers and Nepalians can see the SAS as the peak of their career, if they are good enough to make it through selection

    [Captain_Tenille] Aha

    [Captain_Tenille] Although for the longest time I thought it was M16
    [Captain_Tenille] Which seemed odd
    [bc] ct, during WWI it went from MI1 all the way to MI20
    [bc] also, MI5 & MI6 didn't officially exist until very recently
    [Captain_Tenille] I was just about to ask what happened to MI1-4

    [bc] having no constitutional checks, the government is free to deny they exist at all

    [gurl] oh look@
    [gurl] er, nevermind
    [Captain_Tenille] The US gov denied the existence of the NSA forever.
    [bc] same as SAS, which didn't officially exist till the 90's,, and is still v.secret
    [Captain_Tenille] I don't think they officially acknowledge the Delta Force
    [bc] the SAS are fun because they are the first special forces group, and most other western country's special forces groups were founded, usually much later, on that model, often by officers who saw the SAS in exchange programmes and thought it a jolly good idea
    [bc] Delta Force being a case in point, in the 70's. Same with Germany's, france's. Greece's, Israel's, etc etc
    [bc] but SAS are teh best!
    [gurl] it is impressive what humans can be taught to do
    [Captain_Tenille] Is SAS just Green Beret style special forces, or does it include PSYOPS and Civil Affairs type stuff
    [Captain_Tenille] ?
    [bc] that's the other thing with the SAS, the complete lack of traditional army discipline, which was very new
    [bc] ct: it is mostly military and anti-terrorist
    [bc] there is another group that specialises in civil intelligence
    [bc] that sometimes work with the SAS, but the SAS are purely a military machine
    [Captain_Tenille] Civil Affairs handles the military's relations with the governments of the countries they're in.
    [Captain_Tenille] Should said government fall, they set up a caretaker government in it's place.

    [bc] he deserves it, county
    [bc] Contributing to the skill of the SAS is the Operations Research Unit which develops unique equipment for use by the SP team.
    [county] That's beside the point. She'll be indebted to you.
    [bc] ^^hehe, that's like "m" in james bond
    [gurl] bc, he found a job
    [gurl] and now he will lose it
    [gurl] because of extended absence
    [bc] damn it
    [bc] what's he fined for?
    [Captain_Tenille] Aren't you guys going to ask what my dad did?
    [bc] isn't that classified, ct?
    [Captain_Tenille] He didn't tell me much.
    [gurl] speeding ticket, i think
    [Captain_Tenille] Just enough to make me boggle.
    [Captain_Tenille] zuul, he?
    [zuul] he is not
    [bc] but he was army, eh? mad
    [Captain_Tenille] Wouldn't tell me what he did

    [gurl] some woman is presently trying to adopt me
    [county] But you're too old for that.
    [bc] is she older, and with grown up children who have flown the nest?
    [gurl] yeah, pretty much
    [gurl] except her grown kids are still in the nest
    [county] And she wants more.
    [gurl] she thinks i'm a unique snowflake
    [gurl] and wants to feed and clothe me and all that
    [bc] weird, gurl
    [gurl] aye
    [bc] weird weird weird
    [gurl] and the annoying guy at work who kept trying to pay me to go out with him
    [county] So are you going to take her up on it?
    [gurl] he got in a horrible car wreck and was fired
    [gurl] she is rather like mother
    [gurl] except less manipulative and deceitful
    [county] Did he get fired for getting in the car wreck?
    [gurl] not quite
    [gurl] he was fired for trying to come back to work
    [gurl] with a broken neck
    [bc] he offered you money? heh, how desperate
    [gurl] well, he is married
    [gurl] and also i don't want him
    [gurl] but he just couldn't seem to accept that
    [bc] "Please come out with me?" - "No." - "I'll give you £500."
    [county] That's really harsh.
    [bc] it's damned right, gurl
    [county] He was so dedicated to his work that he wanted to come in, but he got fired instead!
    [bc] I'm proud of you!
    [county] Couldn't they just tell him to go home and sleep it off?
    [gurl] he got in the accident whilst drunk
    [gurl] and it was off duty anyhow
    [gurl] so they can easily get him on inability to perform
    [gurl] and he could hardly even sit down
    [gurl] the doctor hadn't signed a release
    [gurl] so however cruel it sounds, they had every reasonable right to fire him

    [gurl] no, his wife is utterly devoted and loving

    [county] He has a devoted wife who makes lots of money, but wants a little on the side too?
    [county] That seems risky.
    [gurl] but he wanted to go drinking and sleep with other women
    [county] I should find a rich, devoted wife.

    It is time to set the record straight regarding the situation with respect
    to Vladinator/JCB/Reza/Lonesome Cowboy Burt/Whatever other aliases he may be
    using. The situation has been confused due to the recent world-wide influx
    of Vlad-haters, helper-cells, interested third parties and the occasional
    Vlad sympathizer.

    Let us start with a basic tenet of the Association of Anti-Vlad Avengers:
    There is no difference between William Scott Lockwood III and those who
    aid him, give him comfort, and/or use him as a substandard, "Always Save"
    hosting solution.
    Though we may have no direct quarrel with you, Mr. "Trollaxor",
    you appear to be friendly with Mr. Lockwood and - by your own admission - are
    using him as a substandard "Always Save" hosting solution. Consider the fact
    that if you were using a respectable host for your web site, you would not be
    having the difficulties you are having now. Also, with this attempt at
    ferreting out information for Mr. Lockwood, you are aiding and abetting our
    sworn enemy and have aligned yourself in direct oposition to a powerful
    internet force (that is, the AAA and its splinter groups).

    This brings us to a primary characteristic of the AAA which has
    been detailed elsewhere, but which I will repeat here in interest of
    completeness: no single cell, as an entity, is aware of the members of
    any other cell.
    The structure of our association works as follows. Each
    cell is composed of no more and no less than three members who all reside in
    a roughly similar geographic area. One of the three members is designated
    as a messenger. This messenger is the only member in contact with a messenger
    from exactly two other cells. In this way, the members of each cell remain
    anonymous to the members of any other cell. If a messenger has been compromised,
    the corresponding cell is responsible for "cleansing" that messenger and
    replacing him or her with a new messenger. Such a cell will remain on
    probation - meaning they will only be allowed contact with a single other
    cell - until such time as the new messenger has been operating for no less
    than six months.

    Our activities are clandestine and even if another cell wanted to
    share the information you request, it would not be able to because it
    would not be privy to said information.

    As you can see the AAA, though very loosely connected, operates
    in a highly efficient manner and is deadly serious about the stated goals
    of the organization: namely, the complete, unconditional eradication of
    Vladinator, in any and all forms, from the internet.

    We have been following the current situation with Vladinator's hosting
    service quite closely and we estimate the damages to be severe at this point.
    However, we cannot agree to end our champaign any sooner than already decided
    upon. We may have shown mercy in this, our second major attack, if Mr.
    Lockwood had shown the proper degree of humility at our hands. Instead,
    Mr. Lockwood responded with his usual barrage of
    lies
    and vitriol.
    For this reason, and the fact that we are otherwise bored, we have extended the
    length of this attack. We realize that Mr. Lockwood's hosting company will try
    various tricks to deflect our attack, things such as firewalls and IP banning. Eventually,
    they will succeed in eliminating the current attack at which point we will rest for
    a period of not less than seven days prior to initiating another attack.

    We predict that the end of this second wave will result in another round of
    cockiness from Mr. Lockwood, given the highly reactionary character that he is.
    The next attack, which will be the "third wave", will be far more subtle than the
    current attack and will undoubtedly shake Mr. Lockwood's faith in his current
    alliances and dealings. This cycle of attack/end attack/Lockwood gets cocky/
    attack again is necessary to wear down Mr. Lockwood's self-confidence and
    general desire for continued existence.

    As for the fate of Trollaxor.com, I would suggest you find a more suitable,
    respectable host for your web site. Had you chosen your hosting solution more
    wisely to begin with, you would not find yourself in the same sinking ship with
    the rest of Lockwood's "customers". We would also like to remind you that it
    is not we who are the enemy, it is William Scott Lockwood III who has
    brought this upon himself and those who do business with him.
    Yes, our attacks
    have been harsh and our dealings with Mr. Lockwood have been merciless, but simply
    going over Mr. Lockwood's internet history shows that our cause is just and in the
    best interests of the internet community at large. If we must sacrifice "innocent"
    sites such as yours and kuro5hin, then so be it. It is a very small price to pay
    for a truly Vladinator-free internet. An internet where true innocents can browse,
    write and engage in discussion without fear of being choked at the hands of a
    slobbering troglydite with bad glands
    and a spastic colon.

    Female hyenas are virtually indistinguishable from males. Their clitoris is enlarged and extended to form an organ of the same size, shape, and position as the male penis. It can also be erected. Their labia have folded up and fused to form a false scrotum that is not discernibly different in external form or location from the true scrotum of males.


    It even contains fatty tissue forming two swellings easily mistaken for testicles. Authors of the most recent paper on spotted hyenas found the appearance of males and females so close that sex could only be determined with certainty by palpation of the scrotum. Testes could be located in the scrotum of the male compared with soft adipose tissue in the false scrotum of the female.

    Advertising does NOT equal spamming.

    If I were to run over to your house (private property) and plant stickers all over your windows for my website and you had to just "peel them off", then what fun that would be! E-mail is a private resource... NOT PUBLIC. When companies contact someone via e-mail, they are using resources, consuming time and money of the user... and if they are unsolicited, they should be FINED. This is where the law is heading due to such abusive spamming practices. Phone lines are PRIVATE, which is why many choose to have unlisted numbers, and companies are required by law to no longer call you if you tell them so. (One of the best gadgets of the century is the ZAPPER to stop such calls.) Many states have laws banning unsolicited phone calls and e-mails. I am a business major who has recently completed a course in Marketing, and there are many methods of advertising besides SPAMMING people... it just happens to be one of the cheapest methods, but companies are learning that they aren't worth the bad press, so many are choosing not to bother with it. I currently filter any e-mails that aren't on my contacts lists into a "junk mail" folder which I rarely glance at... occasionally, I'll find an e-mail that came from a new friend, I'll add them, and then I'll either delete the rest, unsubscribe from their lists, or report them to the authorities for fraud/spamming/etc. Sooner or later, businesses will learn that sending unsolicited e-mails is unacceptable and/or unlawful. Key word being unsolicited... they can ask if you'd like to subscribe to a "newsletter", but hopefully there will be more laws preventing them from tricking you into doing so. There are other forms of marketing, radio/tv ads, sending samples or brochures through the mail (public federal system). And as for those using TIVO, more power to them. I do the old fashioned thing... change the channels during commercials I don't like & take bathroom/fridge breaks. Companies are evolving to use products within shows for advertising & sponsor events using their name, etc. I usually hate and don't watch many commercials anyway, save for the superbowl ones ;-)

    Poor poor advertising companies, oh boo hoo... *sobs* I've got news. Companies pay for advertising to help promote their products by trying to convince or remind consumers to buy those products (or services). If consumers think negatively about HOW the company advertises, they generally begin to think negatively about the product and the company as well, and the company loses goodwill. Many of the companies using SPAMMING as a marketing tool are of ill-repute to begin with. Plenty of porn sites use it, but notice playboy, penthouse, and many others widely known do not. Notice that they're usually products with no medical support for claims and no "brand name" backing them to begin with... b/c they don't care about ruining their name... most likely b/c noone's heard of it. As for TV ads, SO WHAT??? TV ads have been getting LONGER and cutting into programming for years, it's about time consumers did something about it by blocking, skipping, or ignoring them. Same thing with Popups on web pages, I close them the INSTANT they open, don't even read 'em. I don't like the idea of a window opening that I didn't ASK for. In fact, I may disable pop-ups entirely in my browser. Even AOL has CHOSEN to stop using as many pop-up ads on their service KNOWING they'll lose money in order to satisfy customers b/c of so many complaints about the damn pop-up ads. As for the flash animations and ads before movies, fiiiine, I'll sit and wait for them to load if I can't skip them or close them down, but I'll likely be pissed the whole time and think negatively of the company and its products as well as the web page using the ad.

    If you wish to use advertising, use it in a sensible manner to capture the attention of people in your market and envoke a positive reaction. Humor in TV ads works... I'll sit and watch a funny commercial, radio ads work if I'm too lazy to change the radio station, billboards work sometimes... trials, contests, sweepstakes, etc. are usually great ways to gain interest. Maybe companies should simply wise-up and put all that money they throw away at bad advertising into profits and lowering the cost of their products.

    Today was the appointed date for jury duty (postponed since this summer, since the idiots at the courthouse failed to divine that calling a student to duty in the county where he studies rather than resides permanently doesn't make any sense). It was my hope to get on a jury, since I highly value the (unconstitutionally diminishing) role of the jury in American jurisprudence.

    I showed up this morning at the courthouse. After some buffoonery at the security check (hint: don't carry a cpu in your backpack when arriving for jury duty), I went upstairs where I signed in and was informed that I had already missed the video (shucks). I filled out some paperwork and was redirected to the grand-jury room.

    This was a potential mixed blessing. Grand juries, as distinguished from petite ("normal") juries, are the first line that the state must cross before obtaining an indictment for the accused. They consist of 23 laypersons whose standard is "probable cause" rather than "reasonable doubt" and vote by majority rule whether to issue an indictment. The prosecutor presents his witnesses and evidence, and the defendant has no representation. Normally, the grand-jury trial is brief and 99% or so of all grand juries return an indictment. Prosecutors often refer to this statistic as the "ability to indict a ham sandich" if they so please. Grand juries usually sit for one day per week for three months, something that would screw up any student's semester.

    The good thing about grand juries is that they have almost infinite investigatory powers to do whatever they please. What is not commonly understood is that the role of the grand jury isn't just to return a verdict in the form of an indictment; it's for members to question witnesses, subpoena evidence the prosecutor didn't present, and generally get the whole story. It's even within the power of the grand jury to expell the prosecutor and judge if the jury so decides.

    I was prepared to give them hell. Once on a jury
    (grand or otherwise), I was going to be the asshole
    lawyer the defendant isn't allowed to have. I was
    going to subpoena bank records, grill prosecutorial
    witnesses, and vote to nullify anything I considered
    unjust (even when "legal"). I was going to persuade
    enough fellow jurors to kick out anyone we didn't
    like, especially the prosecutor. In short, I was
    going to troll the legal system.

    But I didn't get that opportunity. After an hour of
    sitting in the grand-jury room, we were informed that
    we weren't waiting for a grand-jury seating: instead,
    a petite-jury seating.

    Petite juries, in states that value the constitution,
    are 12-person panels that sit and hear evidence in the
    actual criminal trial. Their role is ostensibly to
    decide the facts and apply the law as directed by the
    judge. Their actual role under the constitution
    (though the Supreme Court doesn't require that you be
    informed of this) is to sit in judgment not just on
    the facts but also on the law. Again, I was hoping to
    get a chance to nullify stuff: this time, drug laws
    and other things I believe unconstitutional.

    Again, I was denied. Only five minutes later, we were
    informed that all the cases pending today were
    plea-bargained, and we were "free to go". A sigh of
    relief was heard throughout the room, as people who
    didn't want to be there were grateful that they didn't
    have to serve on a jury and perform the duty they
    didn't want to perform. I was disgusted.

    That's what's most wrong with plea bargaining in this
    country. Not that 90% of cases never reach public
    scrutiny because they're decided in the hallways of
    courthouses. Not that people serve penalties for
    unconstitutional charges. Not that real criminals get
    off with reduced sentences. Not that the legislatures
    feel free to pass an absurd number of laws without
    caring whether the court system can handle the load of
    giving each citizen true justice.

    None of that.

    What's wrong is that I, a troll, have been kept off my
    damn jury. No respect.

    Sex Advice with Dr. Scott Lockwood (PhD) will be a weekly column in which renowned homocologist Dr. Scott Lockwood (PhD) answers the sexual questions you've always been too afraid to ask. As a dedicated felcher, cocksmoker, rimmer, and sodomite, Dr. Scott (PhD) is well qualified to answer any questions you might have. Unless your question involves females, in which case he'll have no clue. Please restrict your questions to his medical specialty, the field of homocology.

If you require confidentiality or don't want to post in a public forum, then e-mail your questions to lockwood@pediatrician.com. Confidentiality is guaranteed.

    Our first question comes from a Mr. Peter "Shoeboy" Johnson in Utah.

    Dear Dr. Scott (PhD):

    I've been sucking cock for quite a few years now, and I've always wanted to take the plunge into the world of the anus, but I'm afraid. I've nevar done anything like this before. Can you give me a quick introduction to anal sex, and tell me how I can get started "riding teh Hershey Highway"?

    Love,
    Shoeboy


    Editor's Note:
    Excellent question, Peter! Thanks for writing in! It's good to see thriving homosexual communities all around the country. Just watch out for all those Mormons in Salt Lake City: I hear that the penalty for Sodomy in your state is still death by firing squad. Don't get caught!

    I passed your question along to the good doctor, and he replies...

    Dear Shoeboy:

    Absolutely. I was never interested in men's assholes until about four years ago, and suddenly I started thinking about them more and more. Here's the deal: If you want to have anal sex with a boy, there's no quicker way to it than to show him how turned on you are by licking and fingering his ass.

    I don't always go there right away, but if you've had sex with a boy a couple times, and you haven't tried already, while you're doing him, reach around and gently rub his asshole with your finger, in a circular motion. If you're shy about it, just reach around like you're grabbing his ass-cheeks and make sure you reach far enough to 'accidentally' touch his anus with one of his fingers. If you hear him moan louder, you're set. Rub that asshole a little, and then ease the tip of your finger in there. This is even more effective if you look deeply in his eyes while you do it. I've only had one boy stop me dead in my tracks because it was a turn off for him.

    Once you know he likes having his asshole touched, you can ease a finger in during oral sex, maybe two. If he's responding even more favorably, I'll just look up and say very seriously, "Oh god, baby, I want to lick your asshole." At this point, some boys will even roll right over and stick their ass in the air, ready for you to star licking. The key here is to act like you love licking that ass even more than you loved eating his cock. Don't worry, it tastes a little strange at first, but it's not that bad, especially if it's a nice, clean hairless one. Keep licking his ass and slide a finger or two in. It's a good idea to get a couple fingers in there, because it relaxes them for anal sex. The fingers in the ass are especially beneficial if they've never done it before, because it wont hurt so much when you slide it in their ass.

    If you've gotten this far, it's not uncommon for a boy to beg for you to put it in his ass after you've been licking it for a few minutes. I've had a few anal virgins do this, one of them didn't even realize he liked to have his asshole stimulated until he met me.

    Now, it's not for every boy, you'll be reading the signs as you go from one stage to the next. If you don't get the requisite non-verbal encouragement from them, just slow down, maybe try again later. Some boys are a bit weirded out at first if they've never had guys fingering/licking their asshole, and it will take them a while to get used to the idea that someone would actually want to do that. Don't mistake their 'weirded-outness' in this case with a dislike for anal stimulation. Once you've proven over time that you really do enjoy it, they'll relax and let themselves enjoy it too. Some boys are all right with kissing you afterwards, but make sure to assume that they wont want to. He'll let you know one way or the other.

    Regardless of how you get there, there are few things in life that are as beautiful as bringing an anal virgin, or any boy for that matter, to the point where he's begging you with all his heart to fuck him in the ass.

    HTH HAND,
    Dr. Scott Lockwood (PhD), Homocologist

    You fat fucking piece of shit! Why didn't you tell us you were involved with
    the Al-Quaida network of terrorist cells in the United States? We would have
    understood! And arrested you, granted, but what kind of American are you?

    Your years in the Navy (all eight of them) ought to have taught you a little
    patriotism. Maybe it was the constant hazing with coin-filled socks by your
    fellow enlisted, or the constant write-ups by the officers, that led to a
    bitterness too intense for most to taste. Maybe. But if that wasn't it, the
    dishonorable discharge for obesity and latent homosexuality probably put you
    over the top. Who knew a military career could lead to hating the United
    States of America so much that you'd aid Osama bin Laden and his army of
    fanatics in bringing our economy to its knees.

    Of course, it's possible it wasn't just your military career's string of
    embarrassments over the years that led to your rash America-hating
    decisions. Perhaps it was your mental health. It's no mystery to anyone
    anymore that you have a martyr complex, chronic (or "major," as you call it)
    depression, psychotic delusions of persecution (which lead to actual
    persecution), and anti-social disorder. If it were me with the string of
    divorces, restraining order filed by my own children, or the job record
    longer than the Mississippi, I'd be in a therapists office or on pills or
    something. And if none of that worked, I'd kill myself (hint, hint). I
    imagine the feeling that never being able to succeed breeds would work its
    way into anyone's skull. I mean, after the second wife I would have bought a
    plane ticket to Yemen. You're on wife #4, and on top of that (listen for the
    rafters breaking) she weighs 400 fucking pounds.

    Well, here's my wish to you that you get what you deserve-- which is Osama
    bin Laden and a dozen of his most well-hung, bearded, filthy Muslim
    terrorist commandos pumping their huge circumcised cocks in and out of every
    orifice of your bloated, sweating body. And, of course, I hope that you
    break your jaw on Osama bin Laden's bucking love-bazooka and then choke to

    I find it interesting that it is possible to extend your ego to the internet to the degree that siggy seems to have done. I haven't used the
    internet for very long (thats the UK for you), but I can certainly see how its possible to end up actually caring about some online persona.
    Personally, I don't give a shit, but thats because I don't have an online persona that is actually me (does this post negate that? I'm not telling you ;). If someone had created a 'KTB' character on k5 before I had, I would probably have been annoyed, but only because I may want to extend the character, insofar as I have developed it, onto k5 as well. The thing is, *I* am not really on the internet much at all. It seems that Siggy is, though, from what I can tell. He seems to be really into writing those torrid diaries, and exploring rather private parts of his personality in the most public of places - such as his sexuality, as 'Going For -100 Karma' publicised on /. If he really is exposing his true self to the k5 audience, this may be why he has become so defensive about the 'Bojay Iverson' thing - I would certainly be in a panic in his situation, if I thought the online world could reach into the real world and give me a kicking. I don't think I'll ever write diaries on k5, or if I do, they won't be about me, thats for sure. It freaks me out a little how easy it is to get information about someone on the internet, and the last thing I want want is an online diary, that will never expire, being accessible to all and sundry. I don't know, I just find the idea of posting your personal thoughts for all the world to see rather strange, if not a little
    creepy. Perhaps its a Britain-America thing, I've heard that Americans are not shy, in fact sometimes I think they have never heard of the concept of embarrassment. So there you go ;)

  186. Taking Over Microdot Duties by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    2002 December 6


    Dear Sirs and Madams:


    My friend Purple / Red / Blue / Green / Cyan / Violet / Orange / Black / Crimson Microdot has just informed me that he has recently been IP banned from Kuro5hin. Consequently, the onus has temporarily fallen to me of carrying out the sacred duties of the Microdot until he can resolve the situation and resume operations as before.


    I know that I have big shoes to fill, and I won't claim that I'll be able to live up to the accomplishments of my predecessor. I won't even claim that I'm qualified for the job, however, I know that Kuro5hin needs a Microdot, and I will do anything within my power to adequately fill in for the true Microdot while he is indisposed.


    The true Microdot wishes me to convey his sincere regrets to all of you over being temporarily forcibly separated from you. This is a situation that was beyond his control, and he is doing what he can to find a workaround. Until then, I'll do my part to try to fill the void, because Kuro5hin without the Microdot is just not Kuro5hin. (We won't even mention a certain Yellow imposter, who is an embarrassment to the Microdot name and to himself.)


    I can never be the original Microdot, but I'm going to try my best to get into the Microdot mindset, and find my own personal style as well. If you like me, then perhaps when the real Microdot overcomes his IP-ban, I'll continue to work side-by-side with him. If you don't like me, then e-mail some certain people and request/demand that the original Microdot have his IP-ban removed as soon as possible.


    This is all that I have to say at the moment. Until the services of the Standing Junior Microdot are needed again, I wish you all good night... and Godspeed.


    Warmest Possible Regards,

    Teal Microdot

    [me0w] She's kind of like a child.
    [bc] hello!
    [me0w] hi!
    [bc] damn, missed cyn
    [bc] that film was great
    [county] What was it?
    [bc] it was "Contact", county
    [bc] I liked the way it explored revelatory experiences
    [county] Have I mentioned that I've nursed an infatuation for Jodie Foster?
    [bc] and scepticism as opposed to faith
    [bc] you know what? I was just thinking about that
    [county] About what?
    [bc] I never really used to like her, because she seems quite sharp nosed and hard faced, in that way
    [bc] but now, well, now I see. She seemed so vulnerable in that film
    [county] I like well-defined faces.
    [county] I can see why her's might be too sharp for you, though.
    [bc] and you just wanted to protect her against the world
    [momocrome] i hate kitten, but I am hung over and foggy headed
    [bc] it is quite sharp, but I see beyond that now
    [county] I like faces with character, not just formless fleshy masses, that so many other girls seem to have.
    [county] Don't hate kitten, momocrome.
    [county] There's no point.
    [county] I just don't understand how he thinks he's different than the people he's always railing on.
    [county] It's really funny, actually.
    [bc] hehe
    [bc] it's true, county
    [bc] he constantly moans about people being "arrogant", or "narrow minded"
    [county] I try to point it out now and then, but he just doesn't see it.
    [bc] and you think "whaaa?"
    [county] I think stouts are my favorite.
    [bc] kitten is the most narrow minded & arrogant chap on the internet
    [me0w] I am going out drinking tonight.
    [county] One of my bus infatuations, the one who was being picked on, has a somewhat sharp face.
    [county] Actually, I love her face.
    [bc] I hope you have a voice of reason, me0w
    [county] It's pretty, but not beautiful, by normal standards.
    [county] But it just looks so carefully crafted, somehow.
    [bc] is the sharp faced bus infatuation the same girl as the one with the limp?
    [county] It looks like someone wanted her face to look just like that, and they invested endless time in carefully crafting it.
    [county] You know what I mean?
    [me0w] bc: I do, although this voice of reason is a little suspect ..
    [county] (No, the limping girl is someone else, and she doesn't generally limp.)
    [bc] why me0w, is this voice of reason American or something? I know you hate Americans. An American Voice of Reason would probably advice you to lick the most repugnant people in the room, as retaliation.
    [bc] county: yes, I do know
    [bc] interesting faces are nice
    [county] When I see her, I want to hold her face in my hands and kiss it.
    [county] But that's not a polite thing to do on a bus.
    [county] You're wrong about us American's, bc. An American voice of reason wouldn't feel any ill will toward me0w, despite her hatred.
    [bc] get to know her first, and do it later. Have her melt
    [county] It would just feel sadness and hurt.
    [county] "Americans"
    [Sylvain] hey bc
    [bc] county, my impression of Americans is that they are friendly and kind, and idealistic, but that if you cross them they take a just vengeance
    [bc] hey em
    [county] Cross us, yes. Simply hating us but doing nothing about it is not crossing us.
    [bc] that seems fair enough
    [bc] though who knows, me0w yank-hatred is such that it wouldn't surprise me to find she has crossed the line
    [me0w] bc: this voice of reason has been my friend since HS, and on several occasions, while I was not quite in the right fram of mind, he got me to do silly things.
    [county] It's mean and hurtful, yes, but that's not enough. We Americans only retaliate when actual harm is done.
    [me0w] I do not have individual-yank hatred.
    [county] I hope she hasn't crossed the line. America's wrath is great toward those who hurt her.
    [bc] he sounds like a splendid chap, me0w. He should tell you to lick a lovely, yooung 16yo with lots of acne
    [me0w] bc: He would tell me to go and make out with girls.
    [bc] what?? That's only because he gets off on it himself, the weirdo perv
    [county] Lesbian sex must be the least arousing thing in existence.
    [bc] agreed, county, but I understand many chaps find it appealing
    [county] But oh, man.
    [county] This is nice.
    [bc] generally ones with supressed homosexual urges themselves, I understand
    [county] I have that warm, content feeling that comes with a few boozes and just finishing a delicious salami and pepper jack sandwich.
    [bc] I want to have faith in something
    [bc] I don't know what, but it seems to make people happy
    [bc] so it must be worth a shot
    [me0w] He likes to make me do these things and take pictures
    [bc] he's sounding more&more sick
    [county] What sort of things?
    [me0w] He teases my SO with the pictures.
    [county] I'm only asking so we can get a good idea of how sick he is.
    [bc] "teases"? If I had a gf who french kissed girls in strange clubs, and a friend who took pictures of this and then showed them to me, I'd be jolly well angry, and likely explode in anger and start shouting at people
    [bc] It takes all sorts, eh county
    [county] I wouldn't want a girl that french kisses other girls.
    [Sylvain] is it just me, or has this channel become too serious?
    [county] This channel is a joke, Sylvain.
    [bc] Sylvain, it's great. Since the regulars left, the channel has become more&more&more fun
    [county] I like this channel. It's a lot of bullshit, a lot of heartfelt confession, and a lot of fighting.
    [county] I can't think how it could be improved.
    [bc] that's pretty much why I like it. What makes it tolerable is that a lot of the time, you can't really tell which is which
    [county] For example, I quite like my online relationship with luisa.
    [bc] serious? or bullshit? serious fight? bullshit fight? confession or or bullshit? fight? mixing it up to cause a fight? Who can tell.
    [county] It's all fighting mixed with lies and truths.
    [bc] I hope ubu has extensive logs of #kuro5hin
    [bc] actually, do you, county?
    [bc] going back a year or so?
    [county] Well, I log whenever I'm in there.
    [bc] I wish to find something
    [county] I should point out that I've only been online for a month or so.
    [bc] yes, but I understand you are friendly with someone who was here before, it was just on the offchance he gave you his logs
    [county] Well, I have #k5 logs going back over a year, yes.
    [bc] what size are they when zipped up would you guess?

    [dmg] basically if you have cool parents you can get pissed once you start infant school

    [dmg] its a contradiction to be sure...
    [Sylvain] there are some exceptions to alcohol laws here in USia IIRC
    [Sylvain] e.g. it's allowed to give a child some wine if required by a religious ritual

    [bc] nah, I took it like a baby
    [Sylvain] no trauma for him
    [Sylvain] what's the problem with dying when you're a perfectly innocent being?
    [Sylvain] it's only when we grow old and come to appreciate that life is valuable that we have a problem with it

    [Sylvain] any words on how good it is beyond "excellent"?

    [bc] it tastes nice. Older rums seem to become more whiskyish, somehow, it is hard to explain
    [bc] much more complex

    [bc] it is aged in the tropics, too
    [bc] apparantly that means it ages more rapidly

    * county sighs
    [bc] dmg was telling me about it, er, your troubles with her
    * county weeps
    [iat] dmg said you're coming to london next month
    [iat] heh, someone gave her rohypnol last night!
    [county] That's horrible.
    [iat] i don't know who would be fucked up enough to waste good rohypnol on her
    [bc] did he? He's wrong. I was going to, but something disastrous happened. I may come in January, but not december, that's been off for ages due to commitments
    [iat] bah, we all want to meet you
    [iat] what did dmg say about me/it/her?
    [bc] hehe. I'll come down sooner or later
    [bc] he was talking about how you met her on match.com (!)
    [bc] which reminds me, I have to search march.com insanely to find her
    [iat] yeah, it's either that or start fucking my secretary. i saw it as the lesser of two evils

    [bc] there really can't be that many overweight, red headed, goth girls from london on mach.com
    [iat] you'd be surprised
    [county] No more than twenty or so, I'd guess.
    [bc] me0w: very drunk. Spoke in estuary english. Seemed good natured though, through the disgraceful mists of her underage drinking
    [iat] btw, you forgot moustachiod
    [iat] otoh, there are no biologists with pds living in edinburgh on match

    [Sulla] iat: I forget. I never look at it, and it isn't "my collection"
    [me0w] bc, She was drunk.
    [iat] whose collection is it then?
    [me0w] bc, But when she is sober I often have a dificult time understanding what she is saying.
    [Sulla] it is me0ws and I put it there cos perdida wanted it for some story relating to 80's bdsm pornography for her site
    [me0w] bc, she likes to type in some sort of sms speak
    [Sulla] hehe
    [Sulla] that would explain whey she says "da" for "the"
    [me0w] bc, ahaha you still have those pictures?
    [iat] who is me0w anyway? there's all these new faces since i last frewuented #aq?
    [Sulla] me0w yes, and embrassingly, someone posted the link into my diary and made all sorts of insinuations

    [county] I thought that was myth.

    [Sulla] it's not my fucking collection!
    [Sulla] jesus H christ
    [me0w] bc, you know, I've never actually looked at all of them
    [county] Yeah, whatever.
    [iat] it appears to be quite a copmorehensive collection bc
    [Sulla] there are perfectly legitimate reasons the pics are there
    [county] So you find this appealing, bc? http://www.adequacy.org/images/bc/violate.me.uk/pi ctures/xxxpics/4ladies/0208.jpg
    [Sulla] me0w, neither have I
    [Sulla] I just looked at some funny 80's ones
    [me0w] bc, I looked at the ones that perdida pointed out
    [Sulla] http://www.adequacy.org/images/bc/violate.me.uk/pi ctures/xxxpics/BonkSeries/bonk054.jpg
    [Sulla] I'm sorry, that makes me laugh and laugh
    [county] These are amusing and sexy at the same time. I love it!
    [Sulla] anyway, when I can be bothered, I'll delete the whole lot
    [me0w] bc, was there a series of hunchback pictures?
    [Sulla] yes me0w
    [Sulla] the "bonk" series
    [Sulla] http://www.adequacy.org/images/bc/violate.me.uk/pi ctures/xxxpics/BonkSeries/bonk070.jpg
    [Sulla] that's also pretty damned hilarious
    [county] I'll give you $728 for all these pictures, Sulla.
    [Sulla] some of them are funny, but all the rest are just crude and nasty
    [Sulla] county, it's a deal!
    *** Sulla is now known as bc
    [county] Fantastic!
    [bc] I love the leer on the guy's face
    [bc] so cheesy
    [me0w] county, I could just mail you the cd they came from
    [bc] that's a nice offer, eh county? You should accept
    [county] The truth is, I like nothing more than pictures of bound and tormented women.
    [county] However, I prefer not to post my mailing address in the channel.
    [bc] then msg it to me0w
    [county] Msg? I don't know what you mean by that.
    [bc] liar
    [county] Oh, that hurts :(

    [bc] I wonder what he is doing?
    [iat] heh
    [me0w] Wanking?
    [iat] smoking and drinking
    [county] I'm wanking.
    [county] How could I not?
    [county] All these photographs of naked women tied up!
    [county] It's paradise, from my perspective.
    [iat] i love smoking
    [iat] i just wish it didn't cost so much
    [bc] I thought you were a health freak?
    [iat] not these days
    [bc] good move
    [bc] welcome to the "cool set"
    [iat] the pressures of work have turned me into a nicotine-fuelled anorexic
    [county] I have never, ever smoked.
    [county] I probably should.
    [bc] you'd like it
    [iat] i have never, ever smoked crack
    [bc] everybody with an addictive personality should have many addictions
    [county] I don't have an addictive personality.
    [bc] You do. Oh god you do.
    [bc] You are always looking for a hit
    [county] Explain!
    [county] I'm addicted to little.
    [county] Just alcohol and that girl from work's ass.
    [bc] you don't just talk to people. You have angles, you attack and duck and weave, you seek the high of torture and humiliation of others in everything you say
    [county] No :(
    [county] Not others, women.
    [county] I only want to hurt females.
    [county] Please keep that straight.
    [bc] You do it to vlad often enough, phoneboy
    [me0w] I dunno what to wear
    [county] Oh, that's different.
    [iat] bc: will you stop saying "humiliation"? the "iat" bit interrupts my mp3s by making acidmax make sounds
    [bc] hehe, okay iat, I didn't realise I said humiliation so often :\
    [county] My motivation for tormenting vlad is entriely different than my motivation for tormenting, say, luisa.
    [bc] me0w, wear leather and stuff
    [bc] I don't know
    [county] me0w, dress chastly.
    [county] It's incredibly sexy.
    [bc] me0w, wear a denim skirt with a sort of white lacery around the pockets that looks lovely and homely, and a black t-shirt above that is slinky and just has strap things over the shoulders so it is more of a dress, really.
    [bc] let your hair hang down forward over your bosom, to each side, following the contours perfectly
    [me0w] bc, I don't own any denim skirts
    [me0w] and I only have a leather corset
    [bc] hmmmn
    [county] I told you, me0w.
    [iat] bc: what happened to your general knwoledge bot?
    [county] Dress chastly.
    [county] It will draw guys like you can't believe.
    [bc] wear a turqoise top, that is very close fitting and very slightly see-through, revealing a white bra underneath on the edge of awareness, and making men think you are less calculating and more genuine than those other dolled up girls. Underneath, wear black trousers that are practical looking though ladylike, covered in pockets
    *** iat sets mode: +o bc
    [bc] iat: It's on my hard drive. I got bored with it and moved onto other things
    [county] The white bra is a good idea.
    [iat] what are you coding now, j00 1337 hax0r j00?
    [me0w] bc, I don't own a turqoise top
    [county] When I see a white bra, my instinct is to assume it was displayed on accident, becuause my tendancy is to feel white-bra-clad people are pure and innocent.
    [me0w] and I don't know if I have a white bra
    [county] ]:(
    [me0w] wait wait
    [me0w] I found a white bra
    [bc] I'm writing a new peer2peer filesharing system that will specialise in text, pdf and html documents that the man would like to keep down. it will allow you to search for strings inside the text body, and return results, google like, that show the context
    [bc] zool me0w!
    [county] she had a blue bra, it was lovely. I hate it now, though I loved it then!
    [bc] okay, do you have any slightly see-through tops at all?
    [county] Oh god, she looked lovely in it.
    [bc] what we are going for here is the thrown-on, unsophisticated but lovely look
    [me0w] I have a whole collection of see through wear
    [me0w] but I don't think it would be appropriate for the places I'm going this evening
    [county] "see-through" should be hyphenated.
    [iat] bc "the man" doensn't care about text files
    [bc] bugger appropriate. Look like a lost fawn in the wilderness
    [bc] he does, iat, more than any other media
    [iat] approprIATe interrupts my mp3s. plz stop tnx
    [me0w] these pants require a thong
    [bc] my filesharing network will have terrorist plans, blueprints, and government leaks and such
    [bc] and books
    [iat] no-one will use it for anything other than war3zing books
    [bc] I will provide that service. It's more than a filesharing network, I intend it to be a peer-2-peer knowledge base sort of deal
    [bc] you can do context searches and it will return a few paeges or a chapter from a book say
    [bc] and it will allow a wikipedia type self editing bit
    [iat] how long have you been programming?
    [bc] but everything will be peer-2-peer, the whole encyclopaedia
    [iat] aargh, not wikipedia!
    [bc] not like that, but that's the model. Imagine a wikipaedia not located on any machine, but spread across a peer-2-peer netowrk. it could hold the Truth, regardless of what government or corporate law tries
    [bc] it's a powerful concept for political and informational insurgency
    [iat] there is no TRUTH
    [bc] you state that like it is a truth
    [bc] well, it's not!
    [iat] of course
    [iat] there is not truth... even to say that is not true... but to say its not true is also not true
    [bc] it won't hold any particular truth, many truths and narratives
    [bc] it shall be thoroughly decentralised and beyond the control of anyone, that is the point
    [county] Quite right, bc. There are many truths, in this modern age.
    [bc] must smoke
    [iat] why not smoke then?
    [bc] I'm ahead of you, iat
    [iat] i've smoked 19 since 7:30 and have just 1 left :(
    [bc] wow that's lots
    [county] are there just 20 in a pack/:?
    [iat] yeah, how many did you think there were?
    [bc] yes, unless you get Rothman's Royals
    [iat] oh yeah
    [bc] which have 24, for some reason
    [county] iat, I've never smoked.
    [iat] or 10 packs, but you can't get those in usia
    [bc] just think iat, if you had got Royals, you'd have 5 left now
    [iat] heh
    [me0w] I have a favour to ask ...
    [iat] but they wouldn't taste half as nice as mmy marlboro lights
    [bc] what's that me0w?
    [bc] yuk
    [me0w] bc, I need an opinion
    [bc] I don't like Marlboro lights. I'm a Dunhill man
    [me0w] bc, you know what my site currently looks like right?
    [bc] yes
    [bc] yes I do
    [iat] dunhill?
    [me0w] bc, ok ... do you like that format or this one: http://violate.me.uk/blog/
    [bc] I browse it every 20 minutes
    [iat] dunhill are for poor people, eight?
    [iat] erm, right even
    [bc] they are not for poor people
    [bc] just the opposite
    [iat] heh
    [iat] my marlboro light costs me 4.70 a pack
    [iat] beat that
    [bc] this one has a more traditional bloggy feel me0w, but won't it mean the front page won't change as radically so often? I suppose I like it better in that you can see the previous articles, but less in that the front page doesn't periodically change radically, so that you don't know what will appear. It's prolly more sensible though
    [bc] also, the right hand side seems wider somehow
    [bc] mine cost £4.95
    [bc] suck it!
    [bc] and that's without inflated london prices
    [iat] bah
    [bc] it must be the pics making the right wider
    [iat] that's stupid
    [me0w] bc, the pics do make it wider
    [iat] are dunhills those ones that have the wide packets that don't fit in your pocket?
    [me0w] bc, this new system is a modifed blogger
    [bc] those are dunhill internationals, iat, which I often get too, and are about £5.40
    [iat] i know a gay guy who smokes the methol ones of those
    [iat] draw your own conclusions
    [bc] I see. Well, me0w, it makes the site less characterful and "homebrew", but probably more sensible and easier to navigate
    [bc] depends what you want I suppose
    [bc] iat, menthols of any stripe are for the less manly
    [iat] heh. yeah
    [bc] same as marlboro lights
    [bc] female student's smoke, that
    [iat] bah
    [iat] marlboro lights are for those people who smoke but dont want to admit it to themselves
    * momocrome has a crush on Siân Phillips

    [momocrome] welch
    [bc] I might have known it :(
    [bc] poor momocrome
    [iat] "mr blue sky, please tell us why you had to hide away for so long!"
    [bc] ??
    [iat] i'm singing
    [bc] I thought it was some sort of prayer
    [iat] no, it's ELO
    [bc] oh
    [bc] Electric Light Orchestra?
    [iat] bah, i'm in danger of losing my lightweightedness
    [iat] i've had 8 bottles of stella and am not feeling tired :(
    [iat] yeah, electric light orchestra
    [iat] i've always wondered how the words fit togeth in that phrase
    [bc] you should try yourself spirits now that beer doesn't provide the kick it once did
    [iat] is it: electric... light orchestra, or electric light.... orchestra?
    [bc] look at county, he was drinking spirits insanely, now he is probably unconscious
    [iat] i don't like spirits, they give me a hangover
    [bc] try a clean ethanol-only spirit then
    [bc] like vodka
    *** Lumpen (~guest@cloaked.sea1.dsl.speakeasy.net) has joined #adequacy
    [iat] an "ethanol only" spirit is surely pure ethanol
    [bc] I mean, a spirit without any methanol
    [bc] methanol is bad for hangovers
    [bc] wine has loads of it
    [iat] do they normally put methanol in spirits?
    [bc] especially red wine
    [bc] and the murkier spirits
    [bc] iat, methanol is a natual alcohol of the fermentation process
    [bc] there's usually much less of it than ethanol, but most drinks have it to varying amounts
    [iat] is it? methanol is just a shorter carbon chain right?
    [iat] can you get pissed off methanol?
    [bc] I think so. Maybe longer, damned if I know
    [bc] yes you can
    [bc] it's an alcohol
    [bc] but it gives you a much worse hangover
    [momocrome] you'll go blind instantly when you get drunk off methanol
    [iat] methanol is CH2OH from memory
    [bc] which is why booze that has more of it gives you a worse hangover
    [iat] ethanl is CH3CH20H
    [bc] but generally they have little, but still enough for headaches
    [bc] wine for example, I think only 5% of the alcohol in it is methanol
    [bc] I forget, but a small amount
    [iat] i'm fine off white wine, but red wine gives me shokcing headaches the morning after, as does guiness
    [iat] oh dear, craig's gone mad again
    [bc] red wine is the worst
    [bc] iat: where?
    [iat] 20721

    [momocrome] i have done my part as well
    [iat] shame on you, vlad must be eliminated

    [bc] no not me

    [momocrome] but more than that, it is supid

    [momocrome] pop up to the corner chop and procure a acket of fags
    [iat] which one?

    You're more verbose than I am! I never knew that about you :)

    I'd like to get my two cents in; mainly, I don't agree with your characterization of those who get trolled, for two reasons: (a) I've been trolled myself more than once :) (ask 70%), and (b) I just don't think of it as an adversarian relationship; they may sometimes be a bit clueless, but they're helping to make my troll a success and I'm grateful for that. Much of what I write is a "what's wrong with this picture" puzzle, and if so, I can hardly fault people for solving it, can I?

    Another thing is that responders don't always spout conventional wisdom; in fact, I'd describe the libertarian/capitalist and misogynist RWMs as an exaggeration of conventional wisdom, at least the kind on Slashdot. The goal there IMHO is to get people to agree! You've also got people like the ones who explained the Quaker faith and the AFSC in my recent FBI troll: How many Slashbots know the AFSC from their elbow? Not many. There was a real need to inform people there, and I was hoping somebody would. The fact is, I meet a lot of nice, sensible people (nicer and more sensible than me, anyhow :) who respond to my trolls, and most of them are good sports about it when I tell them I'm a troll.

    I'm also not comfortable with the "elite" thing. IMHO we should try not to congratulate ourselves too much. This gets back to the "adversarial relationship" thing, I guess. I'd like the tone of the FAQ to be more "letting them in on the joke" than "ha ha, sucker".

    Next: Cri de coeur should be italicized, dammit! :)

    Lastly: I dig the "ritual reaction" thing, but I couldn't parse the rest of that riff about metaphor and metonymy at all. IHBT? :)

    God I needed something this morning. This works ;-) Much giggling was heard from my desk.

    Anyway; give me some time, I'm sure I can add my two cents. I'm sure we're ALL going to mirror it on some webpage somewhere, but as for here on /., we can pass around maybe sid=trollfaq or even the more arrogant sid=faq ;-) Of course, we'd have to "refresh" it every two weeks, but it's better than nothing ;-)

    Now that rules! It needs to be posted somewhere where people can see it once it's completed. I'll definitely keep a copy on my website. Anyway, some more points to add:

    Should I "feed" my trolls?

    Feeding trolls needs to be done to people who outright flame your troll or who ask loads of dumb questions in an attempt to be reasonable. The longer their reply is, the better it is to reply to them. And if they get moderated up for their vacuous party-line response, troll them again :)

    Anyway thanks for an amusing and (5, Insightful) read (or is it (-1, Offtopic)?) and I'll look foward to the finished version.

  198. Taking Over Microdot Duties by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    2002 December 6


    Dear Sirs and Madams:


    My friend Purple / Red / Blue / Green / Cyan / Violet / Orange / Black / Crimson Microdot has just informed me that he has recently been IP banned from Kuro5hin. Consequently, the onus has temporarily fallen to me of carrying out the sacred duties of the Microdot until he can resolve the situation and resume operations as before.


    I know that I have big shoes to fill, and I won't claim that I'll be able to live up to the accomplishments of my predecessor. I won't even claim that I'm qualified for the job, however, I know that Kuro5hin needs a Microdot, and I will do anything within my power to adequately fill in for the true Microdot while he is indisposed.


    The true Microdot wishes me to convey his sincere regrets to all of you over being temporarily forcibly separated from you. This is a situation that was beyond his control, and he is doing what he can to find a workaround. Until then, I'll do my part to try to fill the void, because Kuro5hin without the Microdot is just not Kuro5hin. (We won't even mention a certain Yellow imposter, who is an embarrassment to the Microdot name and to himself.)


    I can never be the original Microdot, but I'm going to try my best to get into the Microdot mindset, and find my own personal style as well. If you like me, then perhaps when the real Microdot overcomes his IP-ban, I'll continue to work side-by-side with him. If you don't like me, then e-mail some certain people and request/demand that the original Microdot have his IP-ban removed as soon as possible.


    This is all that I have to say at the moment. Until the services of the Standing Junior Microdot are needed again, I wish you all good night... and Godspeed.


    Warmest Possible Regards,

    Teal Microdot

    [First_Incision] I also have a pair of these that are 3 years old, I trust they will last my whole life.
    [county] I'm a guy, of course. Heh.
    [county] The lone girl tries to be friendly with the three, and they're quite terse and rude, and then when she gets off, they spend the next five minutes mocking her.
    [county] It made me weep.
    [bc] Yes. You'd never do something like that, of course.
    [county] I wouldn't.
    [county] She was quite pretty, too.
    [county] Her face had a strange, intense look to it.
    [bc] perhaps you should have recorded the conversation the girl had and slipped it into her pocket anonymously come monday

    [county] Her voice and attitude were intoxicating in their simplicity and ingenuousness!
    [county] And I will never see her again :(
    [county] The other girls were ill-formed masses of pimpled, greasy, misshapen flesh.
    [county] The soul truly is reflected in the face and body.
    *** momocrome is now known as Yanni
    [shoeboy] indeed
    [bc] Fascinating county, but, considering that you have shown your capcity for malice here many times, I suspect that while you doubtless thought this girl pure and interesting, you in fact liked her because she was similar to yourself (the usual reason for attraction) - full of malice. I suspect the criticism of the other girls (who were likely good, and therefore opposed to you, and quite alien) was justified.
    [shoeboy] this is why I can't wipe the smirk off my face no matter how hard I try
    [county] I didn't see any reason to suppose this girl courted malice, bc.
    [county] Anyway, I think it's been well-established that I can't take it, at all.
    [county] I wouldn't be attracted to a cruel person.
    * Yanni is the man for you, county
    [county] Sorry, Yanni, I don't like fatties.

    [Yanni] perhaps it will become an appliance as common as a refrigerator or microwave oven
    [county] For $920, you could have a girlfriend for a month or two.
    [Yanni] reading into a little, these dolls talk, have articulated skeletons
    [county] For $920, you could masturbate for decades!
    [First_Incision] the e-conomy is all about inventing niche markets that don't exist.
    [Yanni] $920 would get you 2 hours with a clean-ish whore
    [county] For $920 I could buy a fancy hat that would get that wonderful bus girl to notice me.

    Bah, I'd hate this, but then I'm too much a karmawhore at heart. But if we could somehow increase the amount of quality moderation (to get rid of brainless drivel, not just spam) and rely on our abilities to craft quality-sounding trolls, then I wouldn't complain too much if we got rid of karma altogether and got rid of the +1 bonus along with it. Originally, the +1 bonus was reserved by just a few, but now every lamer and his dog has it. It's lost all meaning.

    I'd been thinking along the lines of hiding usernames during moderation, if nothing else than to help us trolls with recognizable usernames who get unfair moderation simply for being trolls in general than just on a particular post. I can see several0 problems, though:

    1) It won't stop the most dedicated of trollbusters who will keep a separate window open as AC where they can see people's usernames. These are the moderators who most need to be stopped, and yet this restriction won't do so.

    2) It will add a social cost to moderating itself. People might just start throwing their points at crap just to get back to normal mode where they can see who's talking. But it could cut both ways.

    3) It'll increase the amount of noisy replies screaming: "Moderators! Don't you realize streetlawyer/flatpack/etc. is the one saying this?!?!?!" We don't need that.

    4) You'd have to hide .sig files as well. Not a big deal.

    I kicked your ass on Trolltalk.
    I said I'm sorry Scotty!
    It's really fun to flame you!
    It's not real hard to make you cry, and tonight
    I called you out on Trolltalk.

    Vlad's got some skeletons in his closet
    And I think that everyone knows it
    There's so much shit in his mouth that he can't close it
    I'ma expose him; I'll take you back to '69
    Before he started crapflooding Slashdot all the time
    He was a baby, maybe just a couple of months
    The Priest at his church bit off his penis for lunch
    Now he's grown up, and he likes to fuck kids in the eye
    No person would love him; we all wish he would die
    He's got a hippo for a wife who'd never leave his side
    She WANTS to leave, though, but she's too fat to try
    To squeeze her ass out the door, so her life's a mistake
    She and Scott should both die, for their own Vlad-damn sake
    But Vlad's a behemoth, and might not get out of bed today
    We all know that he's stupid; no doubt that he's dumb
    And the dumbest shit he did was not shoot himself with that gun
    He shoulda killed himself, him and Theresa both
    They've got no life, so just call them "The Crapflooder Show"

    I'm sorry Vladdy!
    It's so tempting to flame you!
    You really want to make me hurl, and tonight
    I kicked Vlad's ass on Trolltalk.
    I said I'm sorry Lockwood!
    It's easy shit to hurt him!
    It's mighty fun to ream him good, and tonight
    I called him out on Trolltalk.

    Now I would never diss Scott just to get recognition
    Take a second to listen to why it's him that I'm dissin'
    But put yourself in my position, just try to envision
    Witnessing a man being an asshole for a livin'
    Crying and moaning about others when his own civility's missin'
    DoSing and spamming, practicing Asshole-Jerk Syndrome
    His whole life he's been a Nazi to others
    Now he grew up, got no friends, and a really huge stomach
    Isn't it? Isn't that the reason he's even hated by his own Ma?
    He cries in his bathtub and he has to wear a bra
    But guess what, Scott's getting older, and he's going to die lonely
    He's been divorced three times, and they all think he's a phony
    He's so evil now, he could never know something beautiful
    Nobody likes him, he'll be the only one at his funeral!
    See what sucks about him most is he won't admit he's a dick
    Everybody who knows him thinks he should be beat with a stick
    What he doesn't know is what you give, you will get
    That selfish punk, now it's time for him to drown in his own shit
    Remember when he was dumped by wives #1 2 and 3?
    Well guess what, everyone hates him; that's the way it should be!

    I'm sorry William!
    It's so much fun to hurt you!
    I know you're gunna go and cry, and tonight
    Scott's crying in his bathtub.
    I said I'm sorry Scotty!
    Too bad that you're unstable!
    Maybe you should see a shrink, but tonight
    I'll shred your ass on Trolltalk.

    I'm sorry Lockwood!
    Too bad I have to hurt you!
    You're responsible for what you do, and tonight
    You're hereby banned from Trolltalk.
    I said I'm sorry Cockface!

    [First_Incision] they're sneakers, dammit. For sneaking up on the redcoats
    [shoeboy] and looked like a clown college dropout
    [Sulla] locally they get called sanshoes, FI, I actually thought I was using a USianism so you'd understand
    [First_Incision] haha. I've actually never heard a non-UK person say trainers before.
    [Lumpen] I call them "nigger boots."
    [county] I think I'd just break down if some little nigger ridiculed my shoes.
    [Sulla] you lot are acomplete disgrace
    [county] Are we?
    [First_Incision] somebody needs to ridicule my shoes. I deserve it.
    [First_Incision] http://www.converse.com/shop/shop.asp?cat=sc
    [county] I like my shoes.
    [Sulla] Yes, county
    [county] I wear black leather boots.
    [First_Incision] My shoes are ugly as shit, but comfortable as heaven
    [county] Mine look mighty sharp.
    [Sulla] my shoes are black, leather, and constricting. They punish my feet, covering them in blisters and blood. I deserve it, though, and it is morally improving

    [county] They're stern, though.

    [bc] fucking agony, they are
    [First_Incision] mine are like walking on pillows
    [county] I've walked over five miles a day in mine without blisters, just soreness.
    [county] When they were brand new, though, they caused blisters.
    [county] I had to break them, though! And they had to break me.
    [county] It was very sexual.
    [bc] I do more than 5 miles usually, and by God, every step is pain
    [bc] every step sends shockwaves of sheer agony around my foot and up my leg
    [county] Why don't you get more comfortable shoes?
    [bc] and after my ritual 5000 steps every day, I feel like a new man. I feel improved. I feel like the sin has been flushed out.

    [county] Anyway, I'm going to tell my story about female cruelty on the bus.
    [bc] to bear
    [county] I get on the bus with four other girls, three of them are together.
    [county] I mean with four girls.
    [First_Incision] I also have a pair of these that are 3 years old, I trust they will last my whole life.
    [county] I'm a guy, of course. Heh.
    [county] The lone girl tries to be friendly with the three, and they're quite terse and rude, and then when she gets off, they spend the next five minutes mocking her.
    [county] It made me weep.
    [bc] Yes. You'd never do something like that, of course.
    [county] I wouldn't.
    [county] She was quite pretty, too.
    [county] Her face had a strange, intense look to it.
    [bc] perhaps you should have recorded the conversation the girl had and slipped it into her pocket anonymously come monday
    [bc] girl/girls
    [county] Her voice and attitude were intoxicating in their simplicity and ingenuousness!
    [county] And I will never see her again :(
    [county] The other girls were ill-formed masses of pimpled, greasy, misshapen flesh.
    [county] The soul truly is reflected in the face and body.
    *** momocrome is now known as Yanni
    [shoeboy] indeed
    [bc] Fascinating county, but, considering that you have shown your capcity for malice here many times, I suspect that while you doubtless thought this girl pure and interesting, you in fact liked her because she was similar to yourself (the usual reason for attraction) - full of malice. I suspect the criticism of the other girls (who were likely good, and therefore opposed to you, and quite alien) was justified.
    [shoeboy] this is why I can't wipe the smirk off my face no matter how hard I try
    [county] I didn't see any reason to suppose this girl courted malice, bc.
    [county] Anyway, I think it's been well-established that I can't take it, at all.
    [county] I wouldn't be attracted to a cruel person.
    * Yanni is the man for you, county
    [county] Sorry, Yanni, I don't like fatties.
    [Yanni] I will sooth your soul.
    [Yanni] I am not fat!
    [county] 225 lbs is pretty damn fat.
    [Yanni] http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~kim/yanni.GIF

    [Yanni] I am intensely well muscled, by nature.
    [Yanni] and at a firm 6'2", can hardly be counted amongst the fatties
    [county] I'm 6'2", though.

    [county] No, more like 170-175.

    [First_Incision] that's anatomically correct? No, I would not hit it. Not even a real woman that looked like that.

    [Yanni] this is horrifying

    [Yanni] no arms or legs with that
    [county] Oh, no!
    [county] It's wrong that they would sell that.
    [county] The whole idea of a fake woman is ridiculous.
    [Yanni] you can buy just the upper torso
    [Yanni] $395 for breasts and shoulders only
    [county] I wonder if they've had any takers at all.
    [First_Incision] yes, county, that is why we are ridiculing it
    [county] I can't imagine anyone would want it.

    [county] Frankly, I'm just not seeing a niche market between masturbation and actual women.
    [county] Those two seem to have the demand pretty much satisfied.
    [Yanni] perhaps it will become an appliance as common as a refrigerator or microwave oven
    [county] For $920, you could have a girlfriend for a month or two.
    [Yanni] reading into a little, these dolls talk, have articulated skeletons
    [county] For $920, you could masturbate for decades!
    [First_Incision] the e-conomy is all about inventing niche markets that don't exist.
    [Yanni] $920 would get you 2 hours with a clean-ish whore
    [county] For $920 I could buy a fancy hat that would get that wonderful bus girl to notice me.
    [county] I'm having scads of fun falling in infatuation with girls from the bus. I hadn't anticipated this at all, but it's immensely enjoyable.
    [Yanni] for $920 / month, you could afford a fancy enough car to get a bell town beauty

    Scott Lockwood whines just to hear himself.

    "You know, I'd stay retired if these fools would just find another target."

    We did. We had an agreement. We moved on to other things. Scott Lockwood didn't. Scott Lockwood couldn't STAND being left alone. He can't live without negative attention, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to atract it. He had, and still does, have the chance to be left alone FOREVAR, just by shutting the hell up. We gave him once chance, and he flat-out lied to us. We left him alone, and he couldn't stand it, so he started spamming himself all over the Internet and goading us to pay attention to him again.

    We put up with it for quite a while, but the frequency and volume of his attention-seeking continued to increase. Well, if he wants attention, he'll get it.

    Scott Lockwood, it's all up to you. You can stop it any time you like. You know that VladeKua5y is doomed. Stop fucking yourself over. You can end it any time, if you have willpower and honest. The problem is that you don't. You have no morality as a person.

    Is this Scott Lockwood? No, Scott Lockwood is much wider than that. Is this Scott Lockwood, or is this? There are so many that seem to fit him, I just can't decide.

    Oh well. On to the future. There's much to be done, and little time to do it.

  212. Scott Lockwood The Oathbreaker by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Thoughout history, many names have been used to describe those who are on the wrong moral path in life: coward, criminal, fiend, monster, vagrant, lunatic. It's without question that William Scott Lockwood III is all of these things, but these are things that can be forgiven. William Scott Lockwood III's sins run deeper.

    In many cultures, the greatest moral offense a man can commit isn't murder, robbery, rape, arson, or even blasphemy. In these cultures, there's a word for someone who is even lower than the murderers and rapists, because he has demonstrated with clear finality his lack of moral character. This one word, never used carelessly, reserved only for the lowest of the low is oathbreaker.

    Many societies value personal honor, honesty, and integrity above anything else. People can make mistaks, and still maintain their honor if they take accountability for their actions. But the oathbreaker is the lowest of the low, never to be forgiven, and never to be trusted. This is because he has voluntarily sacrified the only thing that every man brings with him into the world, and the only thing that every man (hopefully) takes with him into the grave: his honor.

    When a man's honor is gone, he has nothing.

    Ladies and gentlemen, William Scott Lockwood III has nothing. If our society were still built on the concept that a man's word is sacred and that honoring others with the truth is a noble goal, William Scott Lockwood III would be dead right now.

    A man's word is his bond, and when he breaks his word, he's no longer a man at all. He's worse than a coward, worse than a liar, and worse than a thief, but he's all these things and more. He's an oathbreaker.

    In the past, oathbreakers become nonpersons. They stand below even murderers and thieves. Even beggars would not give or recieve comfort from an oathbreaker. Quite often, they were simply killed outright. Sometimes, they were merely cut off from honest society, trusted by no one, alienated until the day they died. After their death, their families were shunned and distrusted forever, because a man holds in his hand no only his own honor, but the honor of his family as well.

    The Lockwood family has no honor left. The Lockwood family has no place in honest society, among civilized humans, because they have no honor, and they are not a part of civilization.

    Killing an oathbreaker was considered to be an act of mercy, sending a tortured soul on to final judgement instead of forcing him to live an empty, hollow life.

    Maybe it's time that we bring back the practice of killing oathbreakers, and ensuring that their bloodline does not propogate. Maybe a lack of honesty is what's wrong with our society. Maybe that's why everything is falling into chaos around us. When you can't trust a man's word, what basis is there for civilization?

    I think upon consideration that you will agree: William Scott Lockwood III is less than a gentlemen, less even than a man, less even than a human, less even than an animal. William Scott Lockwood III is an oathbreaker.

    Agreed, but I have to find better ones. As much as I liked the dementia-causes-popmusic-preference one, the k5 crowd just didn't care. Like on /. after a long series of trolls, it's time to whore [the queue] again.

    One of these days I'm going to write an op/ed meta story called "Hi, I'm Anne Marie. You're all hypocrites." But I think I'll hold back, now.

    BTW, the ktb=educatedescort cries are hilarious, at least to me. Soon, rusty'll have to change k5's motto to "Technology and culture from the trenches and stuff about Anne Marie". I'd feel remorse, but a) I like the attention and b) I give k5 more credit than that; it's more resilient than /. ever was. My intentions and hopes aren't to destroy k5 but to become a watershed event in its history, fit to go into next year's year-in-review. Looks like I'm succeeding.

    Agreed, but I have to find better ones. As much as I liked the dementia-causes-popmusic-preference one, the k5 crowd just didn't care. Like on /. after a long series of trolls, it's time to whore [the queue] again.

    One of these days I'm going to write an op/ed meta story called "Hi, I'm Anne Marie. You're all hypocrites." But I think I'll hold back, now.

    BTW, the ktb=educatedescort cries are hilarious, at least to me. Soon, rusty'll have to change k5's motto to "Technology and culture from the trenches and stuff about Anne Marie". I'd feel remorse, but a) I like the attention and b) I give k5 more credit than that; it's more resilient than /. ever was. My intentions and hopes aren't to destroy k5 but to become a watershed event in its history, fit to go into next year's year-in-review. Looks like I'm succeeding.

    Did you guys get to it before vlad deleted the img tag to hello.jpg? Apparently authors are given free reign to put all sorts of html in their stories.

    I wouldn't worry too much about vlad fucking things up. Our own slash site would be ideal, of course, but short of that, I'm in favor of using a site where we have registered authors who can clean up the crap and play with the settings. Today, I gave myself god mode (such wonderfully secure stuff, slashcode is) and created author "gbd" for the purpose of posting gbd's communism article (vlad'll shit a brick, I'm sure) before deleting the author to clean up -- it's not out of the question to create other authors for the rest of you guys, though the polite thing would be to run it by vlad first. I also got ahold of vlad's slashdot password, though I don't plan to do anything with it (he already metamodded). He's not the brightest in the bunch, but he's tame, and I'm not sure he's figured out the db enough to track us down.

    I'm still working out the details so don't quote me, but a potentially workable scenario by my metric is: we each get author status, we post a hidden section article on geekizoid as no-comments (like zengan did with the iraq article way back when), and since we're all authors, we can override the "no comments" aspect and post away. Someone might still be able to find t, but at least the signal/noise level won't be any orse than we ourselves make it.

  221. Scott Lockwood The Oathbreaker by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Thoughout history, many names have been used to describe those who are on the wrong moral path in life: coward, criminal, fiend, monster, vagrant, lunatic. It's without question that William Scott Lockwood III is all of these things, but these are things that can be forgiven. William Scott Lockwood III's sins run deeper.

    In many cultures, the greatest moral offense a man can commit isn't murder, robbery, rape, arson, or even blasphemy. In these cultures, there's a word for someone who is even lower than the murderers and rapists, because he has demonstrated with clear finality his lack of moral character. This one word, never used carelessly, reserved only for the lowest of the low is oathbreaker.

    Many societies value personal honor, honesty, and integrity above anything else. People can make mistaks, and still maintain their honor if they take accountability for their actions. But the oathbreaker is the lowest of the low, never to be forgiven, and never to be trusted. This is because he has voluntarily sacrified the only thing that every man brings with him into the world, and the only thing that every man (hopefully) takes with him into the grave: his honor.

    When a man's honor is gone, he has nothing.

    Ladies and gentlemen, William Scott Lockwood III has nothing. If our society were still built on the concept that a man's word is sacred and that honoring others with the truth is a noble goal, William Scott Lockwood III would be dead right now.

    A man's word is his bond, and when he breaks his word, he's no longer a man at all. He's worse than a coward, worse than a liar, and worse than a thief, but he's all these things and more. He's an oathbreaker.

    In the past, oathbreakers become nonpersons. They stand below even murderers and thieves. Even beggars would not give or recieve comfort from an oathbreaker. Quite often, they were simply killed outright. Sometimes, they were merely cut off from honest society, trusted by no one, alienated until the day they died. After their death, their families were shunned and distrusted forever, because a man holds in his hand no only his own honor, but the honor of his family as well.

    The Lockwood family has no honor left. The Lockwood family has no place in honest society, among civilized humans, because they have no honor, and they are not a part of civilization.

    Killing an oathbreaker was considered to be an act of mercy, sending a tortured soul on to final judgement instead of forcing him to live an empty, hollow life.

    Maybe it's time that we bring back the practice of killing oathbreakers, and ensuring that their bloodline does not propogate. Maybe a lack of honesty is what's wrong with our society. Maybe that's why everything is falling into chaos around us. When you can't trust a man's word, what basis is there for civilization?

    I think upon consideration that you will agree: William Scott Lockwood III is less than a gentlemen, less even than a man, less even than a human, less even than an animal. William Scott Lockwood III is an oathbreaker.

    Slashdot troll FAQ

    1. What do trolls do?

      We post inflammatory, satirical or just plain weird comments on slashdot, aiming to draw attention to ourselves and to distract discussion away from the matter at hand. We use satire, wit, art and other cultural weapons to give fun to the clueful and embarrass the clueless.
      1. What are the characteristics of a good troll?

        A good troll is a statement designed to inflame the passions of a certain type of reader. A troll is a contrary or controversial statement, which attacks a preconception of someone who is likely to read it, causing them to suspend their normal standards of critical thinking, and to fire off a combative response, without thinking that they are being had. This is the "classic" troll, aimed at enticing someone to make a fool of themself.
      2. Are there any other kinds of troll?

        Yes. The "surrealistic" troll is a piece of prose, rambling, comic or just downright weird, inserted into a discussion where it seems at once utterly irrelevant and curiously in place. The common thread linking the types of trolls is that a certain kind of personality (read - far too uptight) gets irrationally annoyed by them.
      3. What are "characters"?

        Some kinds of trollish statement have been proven to work again and again, so naturally, some trolls have taken advantage of this fact to repeat them again and again. Certain individual trolls are more or less identified with certain types of trollish statement, and thus we have the idea of a "character" - a fictitious entity which is supposed to actually hold the views which are expressed in the troll's posts. Some of these characters have distinct personalities and maintain narrative coherence from troll to troll (see the "Microsoft Linux" episode between streetlawyer and DMG); some of them show up expressing the same or similar points of view again and again (the RWM and derivatives).
      4. What are some of the characters?

        The number one maximally 1337 troll character is the RWM; the most established troll, with the most solid track record behind him. Opensource man and his creations is the oldest surreal troll; gnarphlager and auntfloyd also adopt this style. Paranoid Man is getting off the ground, and DMG and streetlawyer have their fans. Mindless Bastard is more of a style of trolling than a character per se. There are lots more people posting trolls than are listed here; these are just the repeating characters.
      5. What is an RWM?

        RWM is the Right Wing Maniac, a character with a hotch-potch of (often mutually incompatible) libertarian, Christian, and Objectivist views, who typically (mis)applies the general principles of his world-view to various slashdot topics. He tends to be keen on referring to people as "socialists", particularly if they consider themselves to be conservatives. Sometimes he's more of a religious nut; sometimes it's more the free market which rings his bell. There is also a Left Wing Maniac with a yen for spouting dialectical materialism, but he hasn't done much recently. It's worth noting that it is very rare to find a RWM troll thread in which at least one participant doesn't agree with most of RWM's views.
      6. What is a DMG?

        DMG is the Dumb Marketing Guy. He claims to have been involved in Linux for "at least four years, since the very beginning", and offers unsolicited "open source" marketing advice on Linux advocacy to the members of the community. He often takes a rather hurt tone in response to the welter of abuse which is the usual response to his advice.
      7. How about the other characters?

        For crying out loud, they ought to be self-explanatory, surely to heck?
      8. What's with the "cheese" thing?

        Buggered if I know. Lots of trolls mention cheese, and seem to indicate that cheese has some sort of significance. Maybe it does.
      9. Why does streetlawyer swear so much?

        Because he had a hard life, dragging himself up from the streets to get his fucken law degree from fucken Hah-vud, OK?
      10. What you said really offended me!

        Well, sorry. But really, nobody cares (see below). You're too easily offended. Now purge the post from your board, log our IP address and go back to drawing your "After Y2K" comic (which is shit, by the way).

    2. What don't trolls do?

      We don't do boring, uncreative shit which just makes slashdot harder to read. We're not into denial of service attacks - they aren't very funny. We're probably harsher opponents of the spam bunch than you are, because anything which encourages people to browse at levels above -1 makes our work harder.
      1. Those cut & pastes which fill up the forums, are those you guys?

        Nope. Nezh.
      2. How about that obscene ASCII art I just saw?

        Nope. Nada.
      3. Thank God you've got nothing to do with "open source Natalie Portman", or "naked and petrified"!

        Errrr, well actually yes we have. Both of those ongoing trolls were written by regulars on the troll forum, and you're not going to find condemnation of them in this FAQ.
      4. What?

        Read them. Untwist your underwear, stop fulminating over the momentary interruption to your terribly important discussion about Slackware and have a look at some of these posts. Open source Natalie Portman was a fine piece of Burroughsian prose and if you don't agree that it was, then you're wrong. The whole "Naked and petrified" thing was an absolute triumph - it provoked a huge amount of reaction, entertainingly interfered with a few people's heads by sexualising the context of slashdot and is still talked about, several months after the original author stopped bothering.
      5. But that naked and petrified stuff was really sick!

        Sick to you, but that was actually the guy's genuinely held sexual fantasy. He was erotically excited by the thought of women turned to stone, and was letting the world know about it. Don't pretend that you weren't interested - it's absolutely fascinating.
      6. You're kidding me!

        Nope. I was taken aback myself, but there are several sites on the Net with active discussion boards on this very subject. It's not that very different from the subject of "The Fermata" by Nicholson Baker, where the hero has the power to stop time, effectively turning women into statues. And that is quite a common paraphilia.
      7. Well, I thought it was offensive to women. Wasn't it tantamount to a rape fantasy?

        No, it was a petrification fantasy. Which is something rather less threatening, because harder to act out (how many people really believed that anyone could actually turn Natalie Portman to stone?)
      8. What does Natalie Portman think about being "open sourced"?

        I'm sure she's not wonderfully happy about being the subject of someone else's tawdry sexual fantasies, but it kind of comes with the job. I doubt she loses much sleep.
      9. You keep saying I should read this stuff. How can I?

        Opensourceman's works (including the Star Wars series and Fat-time Charlie) are available online at: Craig MacPherson has a website at: , which probably has a few things on it to do with the petrification thing.

    3. So gritsboy and scooby doo are trolls then? And Trollmastah?

      Wellllll .... they're a step above the cut 'n' pasters. And sometimes they can be funny if you're in a silly mood. But they don't contribute to the troll forums, and it's not what I personally would call incredibly creative. Some people like running jokes and some don't. The original Trollmastah has contributed some good material, but there's a lot of imitations about.

    Why, for God's sake?

    For a variety of reasons, but mainly to puncture the self-importance of a few people who deeply deserve it. Slashdot has a lot of very clever people posting, but vastly more individuals with a serious perception/reality gap with regard to their own intelligence. People who believe themselves to be perceptive, clueful, even deep thinkers while merely reciting lists of conventional wisdom deserve to be taken for a ride. And there's the sheer Skinnerian joy of it - if somebody, or some group of people have buttons, it's inhuman not to take delight in pushing them.

    1. Why do you spend such effort on being assholes?

      In order to do it properly.
    2. What's your problem with moderation?

      No problem. Whining about moderation is for the moderation thread. Several trolls moderate more or less frequently (and meta-moderate - be very afraid), and there is very little genuine complaint about moderation on the troll threads. Any remarks about $3 crack are meant in a spirit of fun and affection, and are usually merely cris de coeur when a finely crafted troll has been rumbled in the first few seconds and down-modded.
      1. What about "Portrait of a Moderator"?

        That was funny.

    3. Why don't you go and troll somewhere other than slashdot?

      Where is there? We've had a token go or two at Nitrozac and kuro5hin, and an abortive attempt to troll some of the statuephilia discussion boards with discussions about technology, but it just doesn't feel right. If you ain't on slashdot, you ain't, basically, trolling.
    4. No, why don't you fuck off? You contribute nothing to this site.

      That isn't even true. Several of the troll regulars have enough Karma to post with the +1 bonus when they use their regular identities, which puts them in the top decile, according to Rob Malda. And there is a definite audience for quality trolls. Have you just been trolled? Is that why you're so angry? Calm down, it'll be someone else's turn in the barrel on Friday.
    5. Don't you have anything better to do?

      To paraphrase gnarphlager, yes, we have many better things to do, but we're not going to do them.

    How can I recognise a troll?

    If you want to spot a troll, then you're basically entering into a game, played against us. You have to keep your guard up, adopt a critical attitude to what you read and decide whether it is plausible that someone is actually posting that view. For our part, we will intermingle fact and fiction, invent plausible-sounding references and (always) attempt to attack your emotional involvement in a topic in order to make you drop your guard. The more ridiculous the proposition we sneak under your guard, the more we win. The angrier you get, the more we win. And you? As the computer said in War Games "The only way to win is not to play".

    1. What are the characteristics of a troll?

      Usually, a troll will resemble a normal slashdot post, but will contain at least one thing which is not true. A good troll will contain material which obviously couldn't possibly be true, and would not fool anyone who gave it a moment's thought. The troll will also contain an inflammatory or controversial statement, designed to make sure that nobody does give it a moment's thought. Criticism of Linux, strong or offensive political views, mockery of "computer geeks", claims about the inferiority of women/Canadians/Perl, all of that stuff. Interestingly, having experimented with using outright, Bell-Curve-like racist statements to act as the controversial part of the troll, I've found that they never offend anyone, which I guess shows what a lily-white place slashdot is.


      Obviously these rules apply more to the classic satirical model of a troll, but there is a strong family resemblance in the surrealist model. Looking at the best work of osm, gnarphlager, auntfloyd et al., you pick up a strong sense of the underlying form. There is the (often highly tenuous) link to the subject matter, the building sense of cognitive dissonance and then the denouement in which the troll moves into the realm of pure surrealist prose (or "gets silly", depending on how you look at it). Typically, when reading such a troll for the first time, and in the context of the thread, the reader's reaction goes through stages.

      At the opening of the troll, in which the technological subject matter is being obliquely referred to, the reader is curious. There is an unconscious assumption that what is being used is a metaphor, which appears opaque but will actually make an argument clear (in such a way the surrealist trolls subvert the category of metaphor as used in scientific discussions). Then, the tension between the what the reader wants to read and what he/she sees on the page grows, but the reader still tries to hang on to the idea that he/she is reading "News for Nerds". Finally, when the reality (that is, the unreality) of the troll is revealed, the reader is outraged at having been tricked.


      Thus, we can see that the distinction between the classical and surrealist trolls is one of inversion; metaphor versus metonymy. The classical troll traps the reader in metaphor, creating the "character" or authorial fiction, which the reader takes as a metonymy for "The Other" - the fictional creature on the screen is espousing Microsoft, or Libertarianism, or something else which must be ritually reacted to, rather than read as if it were a metaphorical text. The surrealist troll appears to use metaphor, but creates no authorial fiction. The piling up of the metonymic symbols of trolldom (cheese, Natalie Portman, the Troll itself) draws the reader into the pure text, looking for a meaning (or metaphor) which is always deferred. The reader wants to create an authorial fiction, but this is denied - and it is this denial which is the source of his/her rage. The surrealist troll lets the reader down with a bump - the satirical troll, in its purest form, never lets the reader out at all, leaving him/her stuck in a world which is false, because he/she is being manipulated by the authorial fiction. Classical trolling is about the use of metaphor to create metonymy; surrealist trolling is using metonymy to create metapor.

      1. Wow, that's pretty deep.

        YHBT. YHL. HAND. (Ha ha, only serious)

    2. Do you always list the trolls in these forums?

      Pretty much so, yeah. There's been "trolltalk", "trolltalk2", "31337troll" and a bunch of others. It's good to be able to see other people's work, to discuss trolling, and on occasion to have a way of proving for sure that something you wrote was a troll, to a particularly persistent mark.
    3. What's the current 31337 forum?

      If I could tell you, I'd have to kill you. There have been a few problems with people stalking some of the trolls, and spamming the troll forums with whitespace to make them unusable. There's no big secret or anything, it's just that we'd like to think that finding the troll forum requires a modicum of commitment and ingenuity. There's one pretty well-trafficked troll forum which is listed in most of the usual indices. Look, fuck it, you used to be able to find BBSes, didn't you? This is no different.
    4. Isn't that a bit hypocritical, to keep moving the troll forum because it gets trolled?

      Yada yada yada.
    5. But if I know the sid of the 1337 forum, I can read the trolls as they happen?

      Welllllll ..... yeah ... I suppose that technically you can, and you need never be taken in by a troll again. But that's a bit lame, don't you think? This is meant to be a game, after all.
    6. What should I do if I suspect a troll?

      Write a nice, long post, beginning with the phrase "I'm sure this is a troll, but ....", get really angry, call everyone a bunch of assholes and always reply to follow ups : -) Nahhh, that's what we'd like you to do.
      1. Well what should I do, then?

        The only approved, correct, 1337 way to deal with a troll is not to reply at all. Don't say anything. Just sit back and feel smugly self-satisfied that you caught the troll. Go on. People always seem to say the word "smug" as if it were a bad thing, but how can something that feels so good be wrong? Smirk. Once the troll is "dead" (once the author has taken credit for it and admitted the troll), you might want to post a message about it. You'll probably get a nice reply.
      2. Should I alert others to the troll?

        Wellllll .... if you really must, I suppose you can, but it is a bit lame and lacks eliteness. For one thing, it makes you look like a bit of a spoilsport. For another, it gives unfair clues to people who have no idea of what to do with them. For yet another, it's quite possible that the people you warn will ignore you. Either that, or start arguing with you, saying things like "Well it may be a troll but ....". In which case, you're now the one who's wasting bandwidth by starting fruitless discussions; ie, you've turned into a troll yourself. If you must go through this, however, just post up "This is a troll", or something. Don't link to the troll forum post claiming credit - that is truly lame.
      3. How about if I reply to the points made in the troll, but preface my post with the words "I'm pretty sure this is a troll, but in any case"?

        Then you should be prepared to live with being a laughing stock. We live off people like you, who simply can't stop themselves from pouring out conventional wisdom, even when they know they are being made monkeys of. And no, the "I'm pretty sure ..." disclaimer doesn't make you look ironic and knowing.

    7. Why shouldn't I link to the troll forum post if I spot a troll?

      Well, fundamentally, it lacks class. For one thing, you're feeding the troll while pretending not to feed it, which is dishonest. For another, you're encouraging lots of enraged people to visit the troll forum. This means that the troll forum gets spammed, the trolls move, and you now will be forced to spot trolls for yourself rather than reading them off the list, lamer. Also, the trolls can't tell who it was who brought the spammer there, so all the other people who used to enjoy reading the daily trolls don't find out where the new forum is.

    How can I start trolling for myself?

    "Just do it", as that noted provider of employment to Indonesian children once said. Your first trolls are unlikely to be offensive enough to draw many responses, but once you lose your disinclination to be unpleasant, results will follow. Of course, you may incipiently be a natural trolling genius like dmg, who got huge pops from the get-go. Choose a story which will get a lot of traffic, try to get an early, top-level post, etc, etc (here might follow a whole load of shit from the Karma HOWTO which I'm not going to reproduce). And, offend. You might want to start off with a right-wing maniac troll.

    1. What are the key elements of an RWM troll?

      RWM is the source from which it all flows. Like an origami master building everything from a folded base, or a woodworker turning a chair-leg, the entirety of the art is encapsulated in this one element. It is possible to dedicate your entire trolling career to the perfection of the RWM (troll gods 80md and 70% more or less have done). If you can't write an RWM troll, you can't write a troll.


      The key to the RWM troll is to realise its heritage from Usenet. Usenet trolling was all about cross-posting controversial statements to start flame-wars between different newsgroups. On slashdot, you can't cross-post, so you have to identify people who can be brought into conflict where you are. The beauty of the RWM troll is not so much that he sets rightwingers against leftwingers, but that he creates cognitive dissonance in rightwing readers, because they want to agree with his conclusions (or at least, his less obviously mad ones), but can't bring themselves to accept his reasoning (or simulation thereof). RWM also exploits the fact that a lot of people with right-wing views haven't necessarily thought out those views very comprehensively, and so are vulnerable to cognitive dissonance caused by the inconsistency of what they believe. Among the elements of right-wing mania are:

      • Libertarianism. Everything should be legalised, even obviously destructive things. All government regulations should be removed. The market will protect your privacy, as firms which don't give you privacy will go out of business. Everything which is, is for the best, otherwise the market would have got rid of it. Yes, free speech does include child pr0n. Etc.
      • Corporation-worship. Capitalism works, boyeee. Big companies are the lifeblood of the country and the technology industry. They're successful, so they must be good, so they should be given all those responsiblilities which currently belong to the government. Only the government can censor (it's probably in the dictionary definition), so anything a corporation can do is morally right. The property rights of companies are more important than any rights you think you have.
      • Religious nuttery. Everything is potentially Satanic, even things which seem quite innocuous. The liberals, relativists and communists are indoctrinating our children. There is a conspiracy afoot against Christians, and the downward moderation of this post just goes to prove it. Evolution is by no means proven.
      • Americanism. USA! USA! USA!

      Obviously, everyone who disagrees with a RWM is a socialist, even if they don't think they are.

    [county] I've walked over five miles a day in mine without blisters, just soreness.
    [county] When they were brand new, though, they caused blisters.
    [county] I had to break them, though! And they had to break me.
    [county] It was very sexual.
    [bc] I do more than 5 miles usually, and by God, every step is pain

    [bc] to bear
    [county] I get on the bus with four other girls, three of them are together.
    [county] I mean with four girls.
    [First_Incision] I also have a pair of these that are 3 years old, I trust they will last my whole life.
    [county] I'm a guy, of course. Heh.
    [county] The lone girl tries to be friendly with the three, and they're quite terse and rude, and then when she gets off, they spend the next five minutes mocking her.
    [county] It made me weep.
    [bc] Yes. You'd never do something like that, of course.
    [county] I wouldn't.
    [county] She was quite pretty, too.
    [county] Her face had a strange, intense look to it.
    [bc] perhaps you should have recorded the conversation the girl had and slipped it into her pocket anonymously come monday
    [bc] girl/girls
    [county] Her voice and attitude were intoxicating in their simplicity and ingenuousness!
    [county] And I will never see her again :(
    [county] The other girls were ill-formed masses of pimpled, greasy, misshapen flesh.
    [county] The soul truly is reflected in the face and body.
    *** momocrome is now known as Yanni
    [shoeboy] indeed
    [bc] Fascinating county, but, considering that you have shown your capcity for malice here many times, I suspect that while you doubtless thought this girl pure and interesting, you in fact liked her because she was similar to yourself (the usual reason for attraction) - full of malice. I suspect the criticism of the other girls (who were likely good, and therefore opposed to you, and quite alien) was justified.
    [shoeboy] this is why I can't wipe the smirk off my face no matter how hard I try
    [county] I didn't see any reason to suppose this girl courted malice, bc.
    [county] Anyway, I think it's been well-established that I can't take it, at all.
    [county] I wouldn't be attracted to a cruel person.
    * Yanni is the man for you, county
    [county] Sorry, Yanni, I don't like fatties.
    [Yanni] I will sooth your soul.
    [Yanni] I am not fat!
    [county] 225 lbs is pretty damn fat.
    [Yanni] http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~kim/yanni.GIF

    [Yanni] I am intensely well muscled, by nature.
    [Yanni] and at a firm 6'2", can hardly be counted amongst the fatties
    [county] I'm 6'2", though.
    [Yanni] you are a bean pole
    [Yanni] 160 lbs?

    [Yanni] no arms or legs with that
    [county] Oh, no!
    [county] It's wrong that they would sell that.
    [county] The whole idea of a fake woman is ridiculous.
    [Yanni] you can buy just the upper torso
    [Yanni] $395 for breasts and shoulders only
    [county] I wonder if they've had any takers at all.

    [county] Frankly, I'm just not seeing a niche market between masturbation and actual women.
    [county] Those two seem to have the demand pretty much satisfied.
    [Yanni] perhaps it will become an appliance as common as a refrigerator or microwave oven
    [county] For $920, you could have a girlfriend for a month or two.
    [Yanni] reading into a little, these dolls talk, have articulated skeletons
    [county] For $920, you could masturbate for decades!
    [First_Incision] the e-conomy is all about inventing niche markets that don't exist.
    [Yanni] $920 would get you 2 hours with a clean-ish whore
    [county] For $920 I could buy a fancy hat that would get that wonderful bus girl to notice me.
    [county] I'm having scads of fun falling in infatuation with girls from the bus. I hadn't anticipated this at all, but it's immensely enjoyable.
    [Yanni] for $920 / month, you could afford a fancy enough car to get a bell town beauty

    [county] I mean with four girls.
    [First_Incision] I also have a pair of these that are 3 years old, I trust they will last my whole life.
    [county] I'm a guy, of course. Heh.
    [county] The lone girl tries to be friendly with the three, and they're quite terse and rude, and then when she gets off, they spend the next five minutes mocking her.
    [county] It made me weep.
    [bc] Yes. You'd never do something like that, of course.
    [county] I wouldn't.
    [county] She was quite pretty, too.
    [county] Her face had a strange, intense look to it.
    [bc] perhaps you should have recorded the conversation the girl had and slipped it into her pocket anonymously come monday
    [bc] girl/girls
    [county] Her voice and attitude were intoxicating in their simplicity and ingenuousness!
    [county] And I will never see her again :(
    [county] The other girls were ill-formed masses of pimpled, greasy, misshapen flesh.
    [county] The soul truly is reflected in the face and body.
    *** momocrome is now known as Yanni
    [shoeboy] indeed
    [bc] Fascinating county, but, considering that you have shown your capcity for malice here many times, I suspect that while you doubtless thought this girl pure and interesting, you in fact liked her because she was similar to yourself (the usual reason for attraction) - full of malice. I suspect the criticism of the other girls (who were likely good, and therefore opposed to you, and quite alien) was justified.
    [shoeboy] this is why I can't wipe the smirk off my face no matter how hard I try
    [county] I didn't see any reason to suppose this girl courted malice, bc.
    [county] Anyway, I think it's been well-established that I can't take it, at all.
    [county] I wouldn't be attracted to a cruel person.
    * Yanni is the man for you, county
    [county] Sorry, Yanni, I don't like fatties.

    [county] Those two seem to have the demand pretty much satisfied.
    [Yanni] perhaps it will become an appliance as common as a refrigerator or microwave oven
    [county] For $920, you could have a girlfriend for a month or two.
    [Yanni] reading into a little, these dolls talk, have articulated skeletons
    [county] For $920, you could masturbate for decades!
    [First_Incision] the e-conomy is all about inventing niche markets that don't exist.
    [Yanni] $920 would get you 2 hours with a clean-ish whore
    [county] For $920 I could buy a fancy hat that would get that wonderful bus girl to notice me.
    [county] I'm having scads of fun falling in infatuation with girls from the bus. I hadn't anticipated this at all, but it's immensely enjoyable.

    WILLIAM SCOTT LOCKWOOD III
    ANATOMY OF AN ASSHOLE

    And you thought this was just going to be another
    goats.cx link. Close. During
    this bloody war with Mr. Lockwood, several interested lookers-on have commented,
    "Yeah, Vlad is a fat, disgusting piece of shit, but why do you hate him that
    much?? Do you berate your own feces before you flush it??" This is a question
    which must be answered. Here, I will present to you just a few reasons for despising
    William Scott Lockwood III. Read these with an open mind and an eye toward moral
    clarity and I am certain you will reach the same conclusion that I and others have:
    Lardinator Has To Go.

    This is the face of a
    child-molestor.
    It is no coincidence that Lockwood 3's children live all the
    way on the other side of the country. His wife at the time (just one in a
    continuous stream of buffalo), could not get her brood far enough away from the
    cold clammy probing fingers of Lardinator. And knowing what a low-life piece of
    white-trash her ex-husband is, she knew that Lardo would not spring for so much
    as a ride in a 67 Mercury Comet to "see" his hell-spawn. Child molestors are
    generally sexually abused in their own youth.
    Take a long look at
    the tortured echos of a deprived childhood.

    Crapflooder Extraordinaire (note: I
    know these are some big words, Scottie. Don't worry your little head about it.
    Just rest assured you are being exposed for the worthless fuck you are).

    William Scott Lockwood III used his third-rate troll site
    Geekizoid to encourage the crap-flooding
    and general assault of websites he deemed inappropriate. This included a tech site
    oriented toward females, an animal rights site, child abuse sites (see above
    paragraph for why Scotty found that one inappropriate), a site aimed at giving
    advice to troubled teens and various other sites where people generally minded
    their own business, blissfully unaware of the stinking mound of manure who had
    eyed them for destruction only to sate his own appetite for power. When the
    admin of one of those sites (yeah, it was mine) decided to give little Pecker-head
    a taste of his own shit, it was suddenly a bad thing! Why, he was going to involve
    the law! He was sending his server logs to EVERYONE in order to figure out who
    was spanking his little butt good (he never did).

    Idiot Supreme.
    Yep, you read that right, folks. Fatty can't even read his own server logs!
    And he wants YOU to buy a scoop "server" from him!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! We can see from
    this old post that Fatty
    dropped out of high-school. That would explain quite a bit.

    Hypocrite Extreme.
    Mr. Lardinator has a nasty habit of complaining to those who run message boards. He
    constantly accused Rob Malda of being a hypocrite (a word Mr. Lardinator can't even
    spell properly). He has also complained incessantly about K5's Rusty and others. Of
    course, you now know from the Crapflooding paragraph, that Mr. Lardinator is the
    biggest (in more ways than one) H Y P O C R I T E of them all.

    Well, that's it for now. I can and will post more later, but I will let
    you digest this in pieces. And please, join the crusade. It is the only way.

Deleted accounts, IP bans, comments being entirely deleted rather than just hidden, weird stuff going on so that certain comments are visible when not logged in but invisible to logged in users -- this is Democracy? We have proof of all of this, and we're compiling all the evidence we get.


    Anyway, here's the hyena information you requested:


    Female hyenas are virtually indistinguishable from males. Their clitoris is enlarged and extended to form an organ of the same size, shape, and position as the male penis. It can also be erected. Their labia have folded up and fused to form a false scrotum that is not discernibly different in external form or location from the true scrotum of males.


    It even contains fatty tissue forming two swellings easily mistaken for testicles. Authors of the most recent paper on spotted hyenas found the appearance of males and females so close that sex could only be determined with certainty by palpation of the scrotum. Testes could be located in the scrotum of the male compared with soft adipose tissue in the false scrotum of the female.

    The problem isn't unsolicited e-mail, it's unsolicited BULK or INDISCRIMINATE e-mail. Unless all your correspondence is with a small and static group of people, you'll never be able to anticipate everyone you might want to have on your whitelist.

    If you run a business, for example, you'll frequently (if you're lucky) get queries from potential customers who want more information. You WANT those unsolicited e-mails. Or you might get e-mail from someone you worked with 10 years ago but never thought to add to your whitelist, perhaps because you don't even know his or her current e-mail address.

    I have whitelists set up for my e-mail accounts, but I face both these issues on a regular basis. I can't afford to discard an e-mail from an unknown sender without first verifying that the sender really doesn't have something useful to say. Fortunately, most spammers use obviously retarded e-mail addresses or subject lines that make it relatively easy to skim and filter them out quickly (and of course I use a blacklist for known offenders as well).

    I'm thinking based upon reading these posts that the best immediate solution is going to be smarter filters and more of them. But this is a technical solution - perhaps there is another angle..(dimension?) Hey- and this is largely the focus of the SPAM Conference. cool. The only thing about filters I still want to be able to get the REAL EMAIL from my girlfriend when she sends me a message saying "I WANT YOUR HUGE C**K TONIGHT" We don't want SPAM filter to become SMUT filters - cause while we might all know SPAM when we see it, we still all have different ideas about smut.

    SPAM for FUN and PROFIT?

    the market itself will(should?) eventually do some sort of self-regulation (nice thing about free markets) - I don't think there are terribly many people spamming for the fun of it. Somewhere there is an econmic incentive - some dismally low percentage of people who are ordering Growth Hormone or Penis Enlrgers from unsolicited mail they receive will either make it worthwhile to continue spamming for customers or will lead anyone who can add (or subtract) to attract customers in other ways. Solutions which propose a charge for outgoing messages are heading towards this idea ,But it too is a solution the collectively punishes the rest of the net (and imagine how up in arms we all would be if somehow "they" started charging for email!)

    Marketers are just like little kids (something they actually share in common with techies!) -- when they get a new toy they love to play with it more than the old toys. Email is still a newish toy for them. much more fun than doing direct mail.

    anyone know the click through or sales rates for any unsoliced mail? Unfortunatly there will probably be a similar reaction as when ad-banner CTR dropped - make more of them and make them bigger.
