Time out!
Hey, my mother's not really dead.
Melanie sent me a very sweet note privately to apologize and explain
that she was only playing.  And now I feel like an asshole for going
that route.
Apologies all around.
Sorry.
I was only playing, too.

Dana

Now, back on with the protective headgear

*** Comments from ROLLIDE - Rollins, Dana; 01/28/93 10:28am:
And Melanie,
I'm trying to send you a personal note to apologize IN PERSON, but it
keeps bouncing back to me Undeliverable.
Honest.
Would I lie to you?

Subject:      MOP SQUEEZER SEANCE

Dana Rollins: I see a sad failure of a man (boy?) who would have liked to have
been someone important, like maybe a morning disk jockey (where his amazing
wit and style could have been forced on thousands) or a basketball coach
(where he could have bawled out insults to skinny boys with white skin) but
instead he works at the local Burger King (nights) and spends his days lolling
around his parents' home, mostly in the basement, where he has his own special
little corner set up. Here against a cold cement wall painted yellow he has
his computer and his splindly little chair, it creaks as he lowers his
ponderous ass onto the seat, it whines as he moves from window to window on
his computer screen. Behind him is a TV, and reruns of Kung Fu (recorded) help
him through the afternoon. Sometimes he switches to reruns of Adam 12. He's
thinking of getting a haircut today but is too lazy to leave the house. It's
too cold out there, he says, and I already HAVE a job, don't I? Besides, all
my fans on Fnord-l are waiting to hear from me, I can't let them down. He rubs
his hands together and looks gleefully at the empty screen. Somebody's going
to get it today. This is going to be a riot, he thinks. Ha ha ha!!! You silly
fools!! You idiots! You maggots and fleas!!! Wait until you hear my latest ---

But wait a minute. Somebody's calling his name. From far away: DAAANAAA!! Oh
DANNAAA!!

He looks up, frowning, back behind him towards the stairs. He tries to ignore
the sound.

DANAA, your lunch is ready!! Come on, honey!!

Ok, Mom, he calls. But will you please leave me alone after that? I have
important business to take care of.(And, to himself, because Mother wouldn't
unde rstand, there's that mop squeezer seance, I have to write that mop
squeezer seance. Brilliant, it's brilliant! Gee, I hope Mom made tuna
sandwiches.)

ANGEL BAND
from the Sacred Harp tradition.

My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run.
My strongest trials now are past, my triumph is begun.

Chorus; Oh, come, Angel Band, come and around me stand.
        Oh bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home,
        Oh bear me away on your snowy wings to my immortal home.

I know I'm near the holy ranks of friends and kindred dear.
I brush the dew on Jordan's banks, the crossing must be near.

I've almost gained my heavenly home, my spirit loudly sings.
The holy ones, behold they come, I hear the noise of wings.

Oh bear my longing heart to him who bled and died for me.
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin, and gives me victory.

 alt.romance is for posts concerning romance, not sex. Now I know
the "flames" will say that sex is a part of romance and therefore their
posts belong here. Not so. Romance is a far more gentle aspect of being than
the raw sex you describe. The key word of your sex posts are: orgasm, laid,
the "f" word, getting "some", and other such words common to whores and others
of their acquaintance. The key words of romance (never mentioned in the sex
posts) are:dating, walking, first kiss, two hearts meeting, love, commitment,
marriage, long term goals, childern, solidarity for life, etc. You get the
idea, so sex posters please move to your area of acceptance: alt.sex.

By the way, why do you call it "New Ways of Thinking?" Why don't you just be
honest about it and call it "Sick Ways of Thinking?" There's nothing new about
it. The only thing I've seen in weeks worth reading is the thing about how do
you tell your boss a near death experience might be beneficial. Nothing else
has been even close to original or funny. You're like a bunch of mangy little
dogs biting each other electronically. What is the point?

A slug with a tick on its ass!!! See, that's what I mean. What are you, in
junior high or something? Are you set up at the computer in your local junior
high library or what? I'm sorry, I like a good arguement just as much or more
than anybody else, but this kind of graphical piss and ass talk, do you
actually think it 1) hurts me, 2) impresses me, or 3)impresses others? Wow,
tick on the ass, that's beautiful. Where'd you come up with that one? I'll bet
you're one of those fear-of-success types. Do you find it amusing to shock
people? Do you write dirty words on blank walls and call it art? But don't
mind me, I guess I'm just thinking in the Old Way and not the New Way.

No virulence intended, just wondering to what verbally disgusting extremes you
can be drawn.

I think this was for Dana, if not, sorry, whoever it was I'm sure you know who
you are.

Language is our friend, and here's why:
This is an opportunity to ask ourselves a minor semantic question.  A minor
question, yes, but the answer will be instructional.  Here's the question:

Is it possible nowadays, to use the words "irresponsible and scurrilious (sic)"
unironically?

Once we know that, we know some other things as well.

You seem to think we're here to entertain you. Unfortunately, that's not the
case. I suggest you disabuse yourself of that notion to avoid further emotional
turmoil.

Or you could stop telling us what to talk about and come up with your own
"New Way of Thinking" (tm).

Just a suggestion.

I'm afraid I agree. I've been sitting here on this list for some months now,
ocassionally amused, usually annoyed, and entirely unable to leave. I suppose
it's perpetual - since I never actually came in, I can never get out. So, like
Winnie-the-Pooh, if I look for the sandpit (join in once in a while), I might
find my way home (and get off this insane list for others more insane). I have
seen no new ways of thinking in this space. I have heard no radicalism or
improvization, and I shudder to think that this may be the future. Or the
present. Gasp. Welcome to the Pleasuredome.

Oh, didn't they tell you?  You're in hell.
Now shut up and pick a card.

And just in time, too.  There's nothing so revolting as a sincere Rollins.
If I ever catch you eating crow in public again, I'll set fire to everything
you know -after I get through laughing my face off.

For chrissakes, Rollins, get some moxie.

I've got plenty of Moxie
See?  What's this, if not Moxie?
Oh.  That's your Moxie.  I'm so sorry.
Well, at least I still have plenty of Flopsy and Cottontail.
So there, nyah!
You big bully.
