This is an actual ssc from my girlfriend, as told by me, CARASSO (G-D):

Last Tuesday, I'm in the bathroom at Fox TV, where I work as a grphic
artist.  I had just pee'd and when I stood up, my purse fell, and a
ten dollar bill fell in.  I hesitated, but ultimately reached in and
got it.  I didn't wash the bill but rather wrapped it in two paper
towels.  An hour later, when I went to McDonald's, I unwrapped the ten
dollar bill on the counter and handed it to the cashier to pay for my
lunch.

Happy, Happy. Joy, Joy.

Okay, here's some blatant plagiarism of some lyrics...

When we were in love I pretended you didn't exist.
That way, I loved you more.
You suggested that we get marriead and move into house!
I suggested that we jump overboard and live in the Lost City of Atlantis,
Where mermaids sing, and tuxedoed dolphins bring you breakfast

That year I was transferred to the moon...
Worse pay, better hours.
I was transferred to the moon
Worse pay, better fellow workers

I feel good.
I feel better than James Brown.
I feel better now.
I feel better than James Brown.
I feel better now.

I was attending Mardi Gras with Fidel Castro,
Buxom cross-dressers threw fake gold coins at our feet as we discussed the
fate of the revolution.
Suddenly, CIA men dressed in bikinis tried to stab us with fountain pens, 
But Fidel blew mustard gas in their faces immobolising the lot of them!
Thirty drinks later we had a deal - Havana goes back to the mob, and Fidel
and I open a chain of Kentucky Fried Chicken stores.
Ain't life sweet!

I feel good.
I feel better than James Brown.
I feel better now.
I feel better than James Brown
I feel better now.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?

Anyone ineterested, it's from "Are you OK?" By Was not Was.
DISCLAIMER: I do not work for, nor am I a member of Was not Was.

I'm floating through this time with no feelings, no awareness
of my surroundings. Perhaps you view me asa floating piece of
shit, but it doesn't really matter to me. I'm living in the past.

My body in the present is just a shell with which I exist as
I remember times gone by. If you see me go by, please redirect

Floating free and easy, gliding on a shock wave of bluish tint.

Are you implying that there is something wrong with amplitude modulation?
Me and my 1938 vintage Crosley plate-modulated 2KW BC transmitter have a 
bone to pick with you.

SSB means group delay across the audio spectrum due to cheap brickwall
filters.  SSB means nonlinear amplitude response due to errors in detection,
and floating frequency shifts up and down the audio band.  I hope your next
QSO is so distorted that you can't even get the full call from the other
guy, just some exotic, tantalizing prefix.  Maybe that will teach you that
amplitude modulation is the way to go for any serious work (or DSBSC if
you mind losing a little power on your carrier.  I don't care about a
bit more power, since my electric bills are high enough).

May you be sentenced to an eternity in hell with roundworms and a 
misaligned Heathkit HW-101.

I arrived at Old Ebbitt's Grill approximately on time.  Dominus apparently
invoked me by walking from the bar to the front window, thus predetermining
my arrival at that moment; this method failed, however, for Yong-Mi,
possibly because her much larger geographical background made it more
difficult to derive a fixed locus and summarily influence it.  

Dominus looked not unlike I expected, except for the band-aid on his temple
that concealed a pimple from which Richh emerged a few minutes later.*

Yomg-Mi arrived and we spent the greater part of the afternoon harassing the
waiter, eating some truly fine food, and indulging in conversation which
sounded like one of t.b's better days (possibly there were too many
followups). 

Surprises: I was the elder, by about a month over mjd (wait, now that I
think about it, richh didn't say, so maybe he has it).  

We *are* as orthagonally eccentric in real life as we are on the net.

None of us tried to pick up the waiter.  What were we THINKING?

And in other news, 1993 is prime, so Polewka can look forward to a year-long
orgasm.

N.B. Critique of mjd's .sig mainly focused on its inferiority to past efforts.

What do you think of the line "Don we now our gay apparel"?

Remember, the Catholic church is not the most trustworthy institution.  They
didn't decide that Mary was conceived without original sin until 1856.  They
didn't decide that Mary was "assumed into Heaven" at the end of her life until
1950.  This is a church where you show reverence to God by eating his Son's
body and blood every Sunday.

Sorry about this - this is just a "newbie" spouting off.  One person's

    Mr. Farrell, my friends, is the most irregular correspondent I have
ever had.  I knew him during the summer of 1986, and then he went back
to Ireland.  Then in November 1989, I got a completely unexpected email
from him, to which I replied, and I haven't heard from him since.

    I was wondering how long before you turned up here and made fun of
my name.  Arlene Rapkin wandered through about a year ago and did the
same thing, so you're in good company.  The trouble with doing that, of
course, is that I could bring up whatever embarassing episodes I
remember from your own checkered past.  Do you still ride your chair
headlong into the walls?  Although I suppose it could have been worse;
At least you didn't eat leaves like Ray Cho.

    I'll be back in 1995 to see your reply.

Something is wrong. Once in a while when I post something, it doesn't
show up. Although I'm sure it's either a problem with my newsreader or
the server I get my feed from, I can't help getting paranoic about it.

What if I'm just dreaming that I'm posting these articles? What kind of
a pitiful life do I have if I dream about reading/posting news? What if
my articles are such stinkers that someone out there is cancelling them
on me? Can they really do that, or was that part of the dream? What if
I think up something really clever, post it once without seeing it show
up, then post it again because it was so clever? I would end up repeating
myself to people with normal feeds.

I wish I knew how to query the server directly, so I could see what's going
on instead of letting nn do all the magic.

p.s. I looked up "shoddy" to make sure I was using it correctly. Here is part
of the definition from Webster's:

	2a: inferior, imitative, or pretentious articles or matter

Hmmm. "Inferior, imitative, or pretentious articles". Is that a hint?
