I don't know much about the P85. I'll bring my Taurus over one of these days
and you can take a look at it.

 1:        Does James Hawley have a Taurus?  Good to see JT on the board but he
 2:has yet to attack me.  How strange.

Yes, I too have logged on occasionally under an alias and it is fun. I just
tell them what I think and not log on again. That way, no gigantic
discussions get started. Right now I can't remember who/what names I used.
Most of the time it's to cut JT down or to agree with you! Deceitful? Nasty?
Un-fair? YES! Ha. 
I liked Daryl when he wasn't a Christian more! For the life of me I never
could understand why a person that is a Christian has to act so rightous and
condemning. Why can't they just believe in God and let it go at that? Not
all the 'rig-a-marole' they must go through to believe. I guess their
looking for justification. Who isn't? I never found any no matter what my
beliefs are. See you -=*) ANN (*=-

 1:        I heard from Zak that Daryl married a girl who was of the religious 
 2:nature.  I think that swung him over to his current way of thinking.
 3:        I logged on as David Roe and expressed my desire to be Sysop of this
 4:system.  Then I logged on as myself and answered David.  Oh what fun.
 5:        We could have a hell of a trivia match in this way.  Log on as X and
 6:ask a question that you already know the answer to.  Make it a hard one.  
 7:Then log on as yourself and answer it.  Another way is to purchase $tatus 
 8:under another name and do basically the same thing.
 9:        I see that JT has not attacked either one of us thus far.  Wonder 
10:what the problem is?
11:        See ya.                         -Rod

Most of the regular, long-time users of this board have gone through periods
of burnout, not logging on for a few weeks or even several months.
I'm not suprised at all that you want to quit for an undetermined amount of
time; it will do you good.
Nevertheless, I hope to get a GT together in the next few weeks, and I want
you and Sandy there.

I'm sure you've all heard about the attack, possibly by Iranian supported
terrorists, on the wife of the USS Vincennes Captain (the ship which shot
down the Iranian airliner).  Her van was destoryed by one or two crude pipe
bombs Friday morning, and had she not heard some popping noises and gotten
out of the van quickly (or had the van been full of children, as it was the
day before), this could have been a real tragedy.
It happened walking distance from my apartment, at an intersection I
frequently drive through.  My paper send a couple of reporters and
photographers to cover it, and I went by there and got to see it up close. 
It was pretty much gutted.
It was interesting this happened a couple of weeks after US News did a cover
story on how extensive the Iranian terrorist network is.  Even if this was
not an Iranian terrorist, it demonstrates how easy it is to commit acts of
terrorism in the US.  It's amazing this hasn't happened sooner.

Subject: legalize it
Date: 03/13/89  Time: 04:09:07

I think we should legalize crime.  After all, those who want to commit
crimes are going to do so regardless of any laws which are passed.  Just
think of what we could do with the billions of dollars saved by the
elimination of the criminal justice system, law enforcement, and
the penal system.  Why, we could pay compensation to all the poor victims of
the environment who suffered in jail for their little misunderstandings with
society.

Turns out it was a hoax.  A businessman admitted sending the letter as a
joke.

Some how I can't equate "Jesus had oils rubbed into his skin" with smoking
pot.  On occasion I rub hand lotion on my skin, but no one has even
suggested that I'm doing drugs.  You'll have to do better than that Rod.

Somehow "male menopause" doesn't sound very macho.  Lets use the term "burn
out" for poor ol' Cliff.

        Okay Bob, glad you asked.  

                Pig Capitalism:  Oink, oink

        Slumlords are pig capitalists.  
        Concession stands at the theatre.
        Michael Jackson's last concert tour.
        

                Capitalism:  Meow

        $tatus money for Apollo
        Home Depot
        My locksmith prices.
        
        Hope this gives you some idea.  There are a lot more examples but
hey, this is Monday and I just got in from work.  Later.
        If this is not good enough please let me know and I will think of
some better ones.
        Did you see the movie, Wall Street with Michael Douglas and Charlie
Sheen?  That is a good example of the pig part.

        As far as Jesus using drugs, well, I slipped him some pot at the
last supper.  He thought it was spinach and enjoyed it very much.

        Are you talking about victimless crimes?  Well, hell, lets just put
everyone in prison.  I'm fairly positive that everyone has committed a crime
during their lifetime.  But who would be the guards?  Or would we do it on
the honor system?  We could each carry a key and lock ourselves in.
        Oh, you think that because a person is a cop or a judge or some
other official that they are not guilty of anything.  I see.
        Your message sucked.
