Obviously Arthur is not the only one who is confused around here. Mayhaps
he should stick to removing sabres from stones...

No, the group was alt.lycra, so they were obviously showing what their butt

Obviously, it's what you get when you connect two black half-adders.
(sorry - geek joke).

It's actually a British comedy series - much liked by "Monty Python" and
"Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy" fans.  It stars Rowan Atkinson, of "Not
the Nine O'Clock News" fame.  (Which you've probably not heard of, either.)
All of these shows can be occasionally seen in the US on PBS, especially
around pledge time, when you have to use your VCR so you can fast forward
past the annoying whiners telling about how lucky you are not to have
commercials.

What about bonus points for Followup-To: ....,misc.test,.....? Admittedly
a misc.test posting is only going to generate about 8 messages these days, but

Easy peasy. It's the Tardis (I assume it is, anyway), drawn in IBM PC
8-bit characters and stripped down to ASCII 7-bit characters. Clearly
one guy who would qualify as Doctor Who's Sidekick.

Nice try with the followup-to, as well.

No, no no! Mystery Science Theater 3000, the only tv show produced in
Minnesota and well known rising cult phenoneman on the Comedy Network.

This is a definate First Sighting. Mr. Crow gets a gold star! (All too
appropiate since the character on the right is named Crow)

lictor [meachem] %

The spelling of the word 'Sucess' tells me that whatever else he may be, his
claim to being from Leeds is apparently genuine. . . maybe he is Dave Mallon's
evil twin.  If you find him [did you look under the doormat?] please show him
what a gestating guppy looks like, will you?

    Rule 2: don't ask if you really didn't want to know!

12 liner, worst map of Texas I've ever seen, anti-straight remark, nine
digit zip, a tip for those who don't know what country Texas is in,
voice AND fax numbers, a call to arms, words of wisdom, and dueling bible

Since it IS the season, I announce:

The First Annual A.F.W Frosh Tournament!
-----------------------------------------

It's open season on frosh --how many can YOU bait?

Who ever manages to get the most newbie followups by the end of September wins.
I may even make little certificates to mail out to the winners. So far, the
only rules I can think of are:

1) Cascades, no matter how long they go on, only count one point.

2) Likewise, pingponging followups will be disqualified. Flame wars dense
   in '>>>>>>>>>>>>'s on the left side and that require an index to keep track
   of seldom exhibit cleverness, and in truth are seldom read in the first
   place. They should still be taken off line,

3) Since I'm the only person keeping score so far, presence within my 
   killfile will automatically disqualify you from the competition.

So the idea is to bait the most with one single clever post, and discount
the later "monkey see, monkey do" frosh followups that are all too common.
Remeber, cleverness and originality count!

Score 8/17/92
