I wrote in Private Mail all the
facts about my grammer mistakes.
You stated you understood. You're
such a jerk. Now you are wondering
about my Algebra. Well, I am taking
Geometry right now in summer 
school. It's fun. Today we had a
chapter test, and I got 100%.
The chapter test was full of proofs,so I am rather happy. I really can't
give you an example, and don't
think I need 2 anyhow. See, this is
my life..NOT YOURS! I can (and am
free 2) make all the mistakes I
want!! I can fail and cheat on a
test, IF I WANT 2. I do not NEED
to answer to your authority. If
you "Hate" my posts, skip them. I
do not want to have contact with
you at all. Have a nice life. Here's
some last advice... Don't worry
about others, Just yourself.

        It is admirable of you to care about Michelle's future, but if your
concern can not convince her to try her best then I suggest that you do not
retain her as your lawyer.

        Case closed.

        You may take exception on appeal if you like, however, this decision
cannot be considered final as this was only a hearing.

important to know the extent of the geekdom to evaluate its harmfulness in

Instead of wasting your time on this BBS, why not waste your time watching

as Vanessa Williams's video.  So, like, it's on channel 5 at 12:30, eh.

Wow, put you on TV and EVERYTHING if you accepted Jesus, eh? Heck, you can
go down to TV-5 and appear on the Wallace & Ladmo show without sacrificing
your personal values. Heck, you might even win a Ladmo Bag! Anyhow, Sam
would probably put you on and tell the people in TV-land that you found God
through his patented Mind-Power tapes. Wotta bum. I've hated his show ever
since I set up my VCR one night to tape a "one-time" special. My fiancee
forgot to turn off the A/B switch on the unit before she went to bed that
night, and when I woke up that morning and turned the tape on, I got 60
minutes of Sam Meranto. The man could probably do well to sell his soul for
a little on-camera stage presence.

To those that commented: ... Cliff has not shown me his penis in quite

and Sandy if you don't. This is NOT FAIR! 
For those of you that don't know: --- it is big and awsome!

Subject: Cars/Magic carb
Date: 07/01/88  Time: 02:08:15

   A 50% MPG improvement is just about the most modest increase in milage
I've heard of for these mysterious magic carburetor.  Claims of 100+ MPG are
more common.
   Since all a carburetor does is mix air and fuel at a ratio of 14.7 to 1,
I really doubt that you can get that large an improvement by just bolting on
a new carburetor.  You'd still have the same losses in the engine, power
train, wind resistance, etc.  You can squeeze out a few more MPG by
atomizing the fuel better, and handling condtions like cold starts and heavy
acceleration better, but that only improves the MPG by a few percent.
   If you built a car from the ground up with fuel milage in mind, I can
believe a 100 MPG car.  But by just bolting on a new carburetor on your old
junker?  No way.
   The "magic carburetor conspiracy" continues because the average car owner
doesn't have the faintest idea as to what a carburetor does.
   I'll repeat the same challenge I do to every conspircy theory:  if it's
so secret, how did *you* find out about it?  If this magic carb is patented,
patents are public records.  Anyone can go to ASU's Noble Science Library
and look them up.  If this carburator is not patented, anyone could use or
produce them.  If anyone can give me the patent number, I will go to ASU and
look it up, and post my observations on it here.

Some time ago, one of the car magazines did an expose on devices which
promised to dramatically increase fuel economy. As I recall, they addressed
the issue of the whereabouts of the "magic carburetor." It was concluded
that none of the available devices worked as advertised, and that the
carburetor was indeed an "urban myth."

  Don't worry about the Greenhouse Effect. The sun is entering a cooling off
cycle which would result in serious problems if the Greenhouse Effect did
not counteract it. If this does not happen then there is always the New Ice
Age to offset it, and if all else fails then we can always cause a Nuclear
Winter anytime we need to.

(all are in the 619 area code for you non-PC Pursuiters who like paying
large phone bills)
Brian Smith's BBS 582-0875
     a very good discussion-oriented BBS with a variety of opinions and
backgrounds.  Well run by Brian.
The Rasta Connection 282-1211
     run by a socialist, for discussion of a variety of political and social
issues.  The sysop is rather unintelligent, but it makes for some fun.  A
few libertarians on the boards keep things heated.
Sharky's MAChine 258-0951
     mainly a Macintosh BBS
Sanyo User's Group BBS 581-9379
     I've never called this one, but I know there's a lot of Sanyou users on
Apollo, so I decided to mention it.
