I owe the Feds $2000.48.  I don't even _have_ my California forms yet, but I
know I'll owe them, too.  (I'm having the California forms Federal Expressed to
me, since the USPS, which I'm partly funding with my $10,000.00 worth of taxes
last year, LOST the forms that were mailed a week ago.)

If my (ex-, any minute now) wife had had her way, I would owe $4500.  So
I pay her $426 for the privilege of paying the IRS $2000.48.

Every year, it's worse.

What you have demonstrated, dear, is your complete lack of completeness.

Your "bizarre" postings where, *ahem*, not, but not because they
weren't.

You see, my little numbskull, imitation is not bizarre.

Neither is posting one line follow-ups to huge gut wrenching
postings that were flung onto an unknowing and uncaring net in
a hopelessly futile attempt to purge demons both dark and foul.

I could go on listing what is NOT bizarre for hours.

And listing what IS bizarre is, by definition, impossible.

One can but list examples, but each list from each one would
be different, one way or another.

Avoid EuroDisney.

So what IS bizarre?, you ask.  You stupid fuck, I've TOLD you
already.  And YES, the answer to the question is NOT TO ASK
the QUESTION.

And don't get the idea that longevity is the secret, no no no.

It doesn't work that way.

You have to carve out a little piece of the t.b ecology FOR YOURSELF.

If you DON'T CREATE it, it DOESN'T EXIST.

No one can give it to you, and once you make it, no one can take

For a moment, I was DREADFULLY frightened that dise wasn't going to post
anymore, which would have deprived me of the pleasure of killfiling
him. My prayers have been answered.

ObBizarre: Our battle of the bands was a nightmare of technical ineptitude.
Nobody thought they sounded good (6 bands), nobody could hear anything
from the monitors, you know, standard hired-sound-man-gripes. This hurt
my band especially, since we're techno-industrial noise type group. It
was, to put it mildly, a disaster, but a bit of ebullient stage performance
on my part made it somewhat bearable. The upshot of this is, the only 
song that even REMOTELY came off was our version of dfan's "I'm so glad
we had this opportunity."  In fact, the most common comment we got was
"Bummer about the sound. Bad crowd for you guys too. But I loved that one 
about pottery and bone-burying and lilac and all that. Great lyrics."

So, thanks, Dan. I'll get you a studio tape of what we did, since the
BOB tape is so horrendous.

Kudos for the Femmes gig.

For your reading pleasure..........................

As anyone who reads soc.men might know, sometime ago I posted a somewhat
unpopular item. The response to this got to be a bit overwhelming to say
the least, it was crowding out all of my other mail. So, naturally I had to
insist (in a netpost) that no further e-mail responses to this article be
sent to my box. It took a while for this to sink in, but eventually all
(but one) of the members of the netgroup realised that harassment was not
generally a good thing, and cut it out. That exception was the genious whose
inspired work you are about read below. I asked my sysop to call this guy
and inform him of the rules regarding unwelcome (and persistant) e-mail.

Mr Fitch, I don't believe "appendixes" is the word you're looking for
here.

Okay, here's my first question: 

"Is Being-There [Dasein] so truly important, as Heidegger would have it,
 or can we live lives of complete introspection and abstraction from the

 picking "R L S T N and E" in Wheel of Fortune.  Trust me.)
