From out of one of the many shadowy corners of the bar known as Callahan's
comes a somewhat familiar figure to some of the more regular patron's of
'the place'.  He is known as, 'The Nightstalker', not a Nightstalker, but The.

"Welcome one and all, fine members of the VR community.  I delurk, for better
or worse.  I have been incommunicado (sp?) for a while, having been on a
months holiday, and of late lurking with the k and c keys, and so know little
of what is going on, or whom is about.  No doubt there are a few newbies, and so
for their benefit, I will introduce myself.

In RL I am a Phd student in theoretical astrophysics, looking at the radio 
emission of colliding galaxies, and the effects on the interstellar medium, i.e.
cosmic rays and magnetic fields.  I am an fundamentalist (by my own definition
and that of many others, one who believes in what we see as the fundamentals),
evangelical christian.  This, I have been told, makes it impossible for me to be
a good physicist.  I disagree, believing that I can examine how things work, 
knowing also the big WHY, behind it all (or at least a small part of it).
I am known here for not being backward about expressing how my faith influences
my thoughts on certain issues, and do not always express myself as well as I
would like, but don't always expect to be agreed with.

I see this group as an opportunity to get to know people I would otherwise not
be able to know, and so I hope this year to renew old contacts and begin new
ones.  Thus, I am buying for whoever is interested, and will take it from there,
either by post or email."

The Nightstalker orders a coke, with the obligatory dollar, and thanks Mike.

"To Callahan's, a place of discourse and friendship".

Well, if you are extremely frustrated, you could try to analyze the

Actually, Karl Marx paid quite a bit of attention to reality.  Unfortunately,
he lived in a time of transition, and thus his observations were soon out of
date.  He *DID*, however, correctly predict, that both the United States and
England would become communist countries without revolutions.  If you compare
his definition of communism with the way things work in both of these countries
today, you'll have to admit that he was correct.

OH, very WELL.  My dear, I am entirely too magnanamous in my
forgiveness.  How is one to become an aristocratic art-despot
if he does not pursue his enemies to their utter ruin?

Perhaps I am not fit for the goal.  Anyway, I will call the
stormtrooper off, but it takes a while for these things to
get resolved as my administrative complex is in the city of
Kadath.  I am not at all sleepy at the moment, and Kadath (being
a dream city and all) cannot be reached without a pocketul of REM.

So you will have to hope that I become drowsy before you do, as 
the bloodstorm trooper, once locked on, is a bugger and a half
to deter.  As I intend to spend a bit of time in a local coffee
house this evening, I might suggest that you do your utmost to
stay up until dawn!  I know this will be difficult, but while
I am merciful, I will not forego an espresso mocha for anyone or anything.
Sorry old fellow...best I can do.

: 6) WHAT IS A NONSEQUITUR?

It is a sequitur that has a bad attitude.  I have a chestful of them.
