Question: Do the CDs really "complete" the archive of Usenet? If disk #6 starts with March 1992 (as the Google page says), do the first five CDs really contain EVERYTHING from pre-1992?
I have some printouts of some HILARIOUS posts from 1989 (Joe Joe Francis, where are you now?) and I would love to know that this wit is not lost to the world.
In this morning's Orange County Register, Rep. Cox reported that he was eating breakfast with Defense Secretary Rumsfeld when the news of the attack was delivered. Rumsfeld started talking about missile defense! I think there is a time and a place for missile defense, but it is clearly not of any use in this situation. I deeply fear that Rumsfeld's attachment to missile defense is not logical.
The ASCEM Golden Orgasm Award winners posted
at http://www.geocities.com/ASCEMGO/-- I especially liked "Morning Dew", and you can skip right down to chapter 16 for the naughty stuff.
http://geocities.com/cc_ssd/ -- Heavy on the Pavel Chekov, but who wouldn't like "The Taming Of The Shrew"? And plenty of other hot slash.
I apologize, the post was much more tasteless than I intended. I am fond of gallows humor but can't always see when I'm going too far.
The universe brought this to my attention this week as I was reading Penn & Teller's _How
to Play in Traffic_. There is a whole chapter
on NASA launches and it is written straight. The Challenger accident is discussed in the most serious terms. Now, Penn & Teller are the bad-boy magicians
who dumped 5,000 cockroaches on David Letterman's
desk -- who bought a headstone in Hollywood cemetary to serve as a punchline of a joke -- who in another book (_How To Play With Your Food_) give detailed instructions on how to get someone to rub salt into their own herpes sores.
And I crossed a line that even THEY steer well away from.
"In the past, it was only in science fiction novels that you could read about
ordinary people being able to go to space," Nazarbayev told Tito. "But you laid
the foundation for space tourism."
Wait, wasn't Christa McAuliffe an ordinary
person?
I guess this lays the foundation for ordinary
people coming back from space.

Yeh, and "shadenfreud" -- is there any other language that has a specific word just for "glee at other people's misery"?
I assume it's a typo for CLEARLY, but I am so out of it that this could be someone that everyone knows about but me.

Ooops, I'll try to bring this back to the topic of Voyager by citing Tommyhawk's slash page at http://www.leatherdog.com/~tommyhawk/startrek.htm which is all Chakotay/Paris.
