Putting to rest the rumour that he had been killed in the bombing of Tora Bora.

Don't bother going to look. It is a hoax. The Greenspun Ask A Drunk is still an open sewer.

I am beginning to think this JSenlib fellow is not to be trusted to watch your brolly unless you set three people to watch him watch it. There is something unwholesome about him I cannot place my finger upon (and something about that last phrase that does not seem entirely right, either).

Aimless, Saturday, 7 December 2002 18:48 (twenty-three years ago)

it gave the "challenge" a few hours ago, but now it's open again

JSenlib, Saturday, 7 December 2002 18:53 (twenty-three years ago)

All I have seen so far suggests that I wouldn't want my finger, or indeed any other portion of my anatomy, anywhere near him.
This is of course the individual who emails Celeste bits of the Bible; whilst I am sure that we all need a hobby, doorstepping with the Jehovah's Witnesses is probably more salubrious. One can shut the door.

Weebleman (StillSimon), Saturday, 7 December 2002 19:26 (twenty-three years ago)

This is of course the individual who emails Celeste bits of the Bible

1)the lady in question asked for an explanation (as it seemed to me).
2)the reply wouldn't interest anyone on this forum
3)so i mailed it to her
4)she hasn't complained (yet)

JSenlib, Saturday, 7 December 2002 20:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Despite my indulgence in a tad bit of depravity from time to time, sending bits of the Bible via email to a recipient known as "Celeste" may be the worst thing I have ever heard of! I have looked inside that book. It was enough to leave scabs on my eyes.

And it's no good making excuses for yourself, JSenlib, by stating that "Celeste" has not complained. This claim reaches beyond your knowledge. For all you know, she has changed her name to Ophelia and wanders hither and yon, grubbing in streambanks, uprooting rue plants by the dozens, and ferociously chanting imprecations against you such as would singe the feathers off a grebe.

It is possible that her friends (yes! her real friends who have her welfare at heart) have locked her into her room and taken away her new computer, to protect her from further defilement through incidental contact with the Bible or with you, both of which have been known to ooze across the Internet like sea snakes through a slime pit.

Did you think of that? Well, did you?

Aimless, Saturday, 7 December 2002 20:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Aimless, I am in awe of your prolixity.

webcrack (music=crack), Sunday, 8 December 2002 00:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Meester, meester! Prolix: Ten dollar, long time.

Pooster (pooster), Sunday, 8 December 2002 01:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Thank you, webcrack. You seem to have had your prolix removed. Was it giving trouble?

Aimless, Sunday, 8 December 2002 05:55 (twenty-three years ago)

A prolix prolapse perhaps ......

Poo , Are we having a beer monday nite or what ... ?

I've completely failed to get pissed this week.

There is some danger of blood being detected in my alcohol stream

Dozzer.

Dozzer, Sunday, 8 December 2002 17:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Ho ho! That cheeky fella keeps popping up and talking about beer! Well, let me tell you, he has a damn sight more little finger in his ear than any of you will ever have. Before you slag him off. And me. And, I suppose the answer is yes, despite doctor's orders.

Pooster (pooster), Monday, 9 December 2002 00:47 (twenty-three years ago)

one month passes...
JSenlib was yelled at by a person on the old AAD by the name of "Martha P. Huntington". Poor stupid bastard. He really hates me. His goal? To make all old LUSENET boards place to test HTML.

Avoid him, FTLOG.

The new Sean M. Hall (Piano Man), Sunday, 19 January 2003 06:38 (twenty-three years ago)

JSenlib ain't been here for a while. I got drunk and posted something a bit offensive about him on another board which I really, really can't remember posting and he/she hasn't been back since. JSen did send some scary Christian emails to my girlfriend though.

Lynskey (Lynskey), Sunday, 19 January 2003 14:16 (twenty-three years ago)

He really hates me.

How'd you figure that out?

I got drunk and posted something a bit offensive about him on another board which I really, really can't remember posting and he/she hasn't been back since

no, i've just been busy


JSen did send some scary Christian emails to my girlfriend though.

that's not entirely correct. How 'bout posting that alleged scary e-mail here and letting others judge for themselves

JS, Monday, 27 January 2003 07:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Grow up!

Robin (RJM), Monday, 27 January 2003 11:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Did you grow up with a problem drinker?

Will America Grow Up Before It Grows Old?

JS, Monday, 27 January 2003 12:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes

No

Robin (RJM), Monday, 27 January 2003 14:06 (twenty-three years ago)

That's your answer to everything (usually followed by you hitting your head on that light fitting).

Lynskey (Lynskey), Monday, 27 January 2003 14:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh please- I don't think that you are taking those lovely links seriously. The first one starts: "If someone close to you has, or has had, a drinking problem,"...and goes on to ask some very caring questions, including:

1. Do you constantly seek approval and affirmation?

2. Do you fail to recognize your accomplishments?

3. Do you fear criticism?

4. Do you over extend yourself?

5. Have you had problems with your own compulsive behavior?

6. Do you have a need for perfection?

7. Are you uneasy when your life is going smoothly, continually anticipating problems?

8. Do you feel more alive in the midst of a crisis?

9. Do you still feel responsible for others, as you did for the problem drinker in your life?


I couldn't be bothered to copy more, but I feel that a maximum score should not be beyond us. Forgive me JS, but have you noticed the name of the forum?

Weebleman (StillSimon), Monday, 27 January 2003 22:33 (twenty-three years ago)

It's not a disease, it's you

JS, Tuesday, 28 January 2003 10:34 (twenty-three years ago)

It's who? What's who? Who is what? What? Whom? When? They're a what? When? How?

Matt (Matt), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 11:37 (twenty-three years ago)

I suppose I better finish what I started.

The Questions:

10. Do you care for others easily, yet find it difficult to care for yourself?

11. Do you isolate yourself from other people?

12. Do you feel that individuals and society in general are taking advantage of you?

13. Do you respond with fear to authority figures and angry people?

14. Do you have trouble with intimate relationships?

15. Do you confuse pity with love, as you did with the problem drinker?

16. Do you attract and/or seek people who tend to be compulsive and abusive?

17. Do you cling to relationships because you are afraid of being alone?

18. Do you mistrust your own feelings and the feelings expressed by others?

19. Do you find it difficult to identify and express your emotions?

20. Do you think parental drinking may have affected you?


My Answers:

10. I want to see what others put first as not to offend them.

11. Errm..

12. I would respond but fear you’d use the answer for your own personal gain

13. Why so may questions? Please

14. Yeah, Rose West and that guy from Slayed.

15. No, but I did cry on my cock and fuck my mother.

16. No Comment.

19. Yeah *sob* I do, and its killing me. *sob*

20. Yeah, I got a clitoris stuck in my throat, makes me wheeze

Robin (RJM), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Ahh Slayed the great Slayer/Slade cover band of the early '90s. That War Ensemble/Merry Christmas Everyone medley will live long in the memory of everyone present at their '91 Reading Corn Exchange gig.

Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:29 (twenty-three years ago)

Robin (RJM), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 15:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 16:11 (twenty-three years ago)

That's an incredibly good question.

Matt (Matt), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 16:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Jim, did you change your own spelling?

Matt (Matt), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 16:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Robin's not happy

Matt (Matt), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 16:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Me, play god? Unthinkable.

Wham - Last Christmas
Chorus:
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special


Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Chorus:
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

(Oooh. Oooh Baby)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart Oooh Oooh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Chorus:
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special(special)

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special(special)

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
(Gave you my heart)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Next year
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
special-someone-someone
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
who'll give me something in return
I'll give it to someone
hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
I've got you here to stay
I can love you for a day
I thought you were someone special
gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone
last christmas I gave you my heart
you gave it away
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone

Lynskey (Lynskey), Monday, 3 February 2003 02:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Do stop that.

Matt (Matt), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 14:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Stop That Train

Stop the train I'm leaving
Stop the train I'm leaving
Stop the train I'm leaving
it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong

all my good life I've been a lonely man
teaching people who don't overstan'
and even though I've tried my bes'
I still dont find no happiness

Stop the train I'm leaving
Stop the train I'm leaving
Stop the train I'm leaving
it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong

some goin' east
some goin' west
some step aside
to try their best
some livin' big
but the most livin' small
they just cant even find
no food at all

Stop the train I'm leaving
Stop the train I'm leaving
Stop the train I'm leaving
it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong

Stop the train I'm leaving...

Robin (RJM), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 15:39 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm Sorry I'm Leaving"

Your middle finger was clutching my thumb through the park
and over macdougal.
The torches were blazing about our street and just down from the sky.
Casey stepped with Anna off the curb.
His shoes are clogs, did you see?
They dipped in that puddle, the one catching green.
They were tripping up and slipping around,
singing 'Rolalita come out tonight' and oh I wanted to pull you down.
roll on top of me, baby. just roll.
we'll wreck our clothes.
we'll scrape our knees.
we'll taste the scabs.
you, sweet, are worth these next four months
until I bail out and kiss behind your ears, drive off in the van.
oh my god, I think I'm dying in this car seat, where I'll spend through winter.


Lynskey (Lynskey), Wednesday, 5 February 2003 17:22 (twenty-three years ago)

And it sure been a cold, cold winter
And the wind ain't been blowin' from the south
It's sure been a cold, cold winter
And a lotta love is all burned out


It sure been a hard, hard winter
My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground
And I hope it's gonna be a long, hot summer
And a lotta love will be burnin' bright


And I wish I been out in California
When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out
But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle
And the restoration plays have all gone 'round


It sure been a cold, cold winter
My feet been draggin' 'cross the ground
And the fields has all been brown and fallow
And the springtime take a long way around


Yeah, and I wish I been out in Stone Canyon
When the lights on all the Christmas trees went out
But I been burnin' my bell, book and candle
And the restoration plays have all gone 'round


Sometimes I think about you, baby
Sometimes I cry about you
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you
Sometimes I wanna keep you warm
Sometimes I wanna wrap my coat around you
Sometimes I wanna but I can't afford you

Robin (RJM), Thursday, 6 February 2003 13:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Tum, t-tum tum tums!
