  Not me. I love the K-mart commercials. Now I realize what I have been
missing shopping elsewhere: Ward and June; clever Beaver; and bargains,
bargains, bargains galore. Why, if I wasn't an atheist, and think that
Christmas was a crock 'o crap, I'd run right down to K-mart and shop
until my brains oozed out of my ears.

No, Foss ain't dead, he's just given up on FNORD, for the
same reason I'm about to bail - too few "new ideas" and too
much sludge, which I can get for free on alt.bizzare when
I'm in the mood.

inflict too much pain on you all while there's a chance I might get
adverse publicity for it, hampering my drive for world conquest and
television stardom and such-like.  So cool it.

Geez - the tripe on this mailing list has already been spread across
the ether.  If "The Man" was interested in breaking your electronic
neck, he'd have already done so.

I'm just interested in retrieving a few postings made by Dan Foss,
whose writing I enjoy but joined the list too late to have seen.

And you really should see someone about your paranoia before it gets
completely out of hand.

Subject:      IdEAL ORDER Psychic TV January Sabattical

The Thursday CBS Evening News Zap will be discontinued for the month of
January.  On February 5 I will continue this ongoing demonstration of my
illuminative capabilities.

I will be at the Atlantic Center for the Arts as a resident composer for
the month of January and will not have access to television.  I regret
the interruption of the demonstration but my music has to come first
sometimes.

If you would like a text file about my paranormal (supra-normal?)
capabilties drop me a line.  Briefly, I've developed the ability to cause
broadcasting television cameras to become luminescent.  I meditate on the
broadcast and the lens of the broadcasting television camera develops a
spot of light.  This effect is well known in the media and arts
communities.  Many members of the "skeptical community" are aware of
this phenomenon, too.

The Thursday CBS Evening News zap is the _only_ proven demonstration of
paranormal capabilities.  The public is invited to count the blinks of
Dan Rather and the news crew on Wednesdays or Fridays and compare that
with the increased number of blinks evident on the Thursday broadcast.

Which is not to say that Foss is not paranoid (but are you
paranoid if they're really out to get you? :-)

>Now let me get this straight:
>You're a Foss fan AND you have no sense of irony?

Somehow I missed Cuthbert's "irony" - perhaps a re-reading
is in order ........ well, I guess it could be read as ironic,
in some puerile sense.

Paranoid or not, I think I prefer Foss:

    "Society resembles a pile of squirmy slimy rats on a ship very
    slowly sinking. The rats each frantically scramble to get atop the
    backs of other rats to maximize all-important DISTANCE FROM THE
    WATER awash over the deck. NOT winning an old fashioned ratrace.

    Suddenly the ship starts sinking faster. The only way any rats will
    live is, all rats act at once.

    This is the Rats' Dilemma."

            - Daniel A. Foss

See what I mean?
