So when's lunch?

I really wish we had a based that only dealt with threaded comments, like we had on PWC2 BBS.

Did I mention that the bunch of us posting over there was one of the greatest runs anyone ever had on the Internet, Gerrit? Did I mention that? I should mention that more often.

Hey there, Snuff.

Well, there wasn't any hot computer action going on when five of us got together in Vegas. I think, even, that One of the Bruces had his laptop with him. Sure, we played a few arcade games at the Classic Gaming Expo, but that's what you're supposed to do. It was definitely very social.

What's it going to be like in November, should ICJ, Vitriola, gsdgsd and Benjamin "Pinback" Parrish all hit the town at the same time? Some pool will be played, some beers consumed, some stories told, but mostly it'll be all about book, movie, cat, insulin, movie.

Not enough of either has been going on lately. But actually, Pinback and gsdgsd may be coming out to Colorado at the same time next month, at which point the ENTIRE BBS ought to be one giant drunk holding tank. But, specifically, this base.

You don't have to be a dead celebrity to have a monologue, but it helps.

This base's current function is:

1) To allow people to write monologues, either as themselves or "gimmick" characters

2) To post in a secure, encrypted environ when they are inebriated or intoxicated.

Okay, just caught myself up here.

As long as inanimate objects, locations, record singles and fruit loops who rework all their old songs into ballads about dead blondes continue to post here, this place will never be in trouble. Good game, all of you.

If you can hear that song drunk in a bar, in the throes of unrequited love and not cry, my bent-over child, then you may rest assured that your heart is a flawless ball of polished obsidian, and you should get over her in no time. And I mean get over her in the with-all-4-wheels, in forward and reverse kind of way. You soulless heathen miscreant. You make my sequins wilt in shame...

She actually lives a good distance from me, so that's good to know. Valuable intelligence. Thanks, Vitriola. I don't care what Robb says -- you're good people.

So, do you cry when you hear Elton John songs now? Or anything from Chicago XVIII?

I heard "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" in a bar last night and DIDN'T CRY, so the answer's no. Though I was drunk, which may skew the test results.

I haven't owned a Chicago album since "16" -- that was the last one where they really had that true, honest street sound. Fucking sellouts.

I'll e-mail tonight to find out about the Snickers bars.

Perhaps I can finally put this ugly time behind me, or at least establish once and for all that it is indeed worth pursuing.

Thanks, HR4.

If she doesn't, she's not worth having in the long term, anyway.

In person, if she'd unleashed the big brown eyes, she would've had me at :00 and a half.

So how many Old 97s songs make you think of this girl?

And in the future, when we can craft little icons for ourselves and send them over the phonelines to let others know who's calling, she can scan a pic of her eyes and get you driving out to bring her a Snickers bar at 4:30 in the am. I know I can't wait.

Well, it was a voicemail. More impersonal, donchaknow. So my resolve was a little stronger, it took a little more time to break through the charcoal surrounding my heart.
