Well, 'fj' is a lot easier to pronounce than 'rj'...at least IMHO :)

Eeek! There is NO Swedish word that has 'rj' in it...excluding compounds.
And there are hardly any words that have 'w' in them either...:-)
The Swedish translation of Rincewind is 'Rensvind' which means something
like 'cleaner of wind'.

Yes, there is a CD with the "tape" order of songs - I've got it; if anyone
is particularly interested I'll find out just which record company released
it and when.
	I *believe* (please send all flames to /dev/null!) that the different
sequence originated when the album changed record companies.  The "CD" order
seems to be the new one and it's probably impossible to get one with the old
songs now.

Hey Kids! Are you late to the game? Feeling left out? You've already figured
out that warlording rdc or CowPatti is not quite where it's at, and that maybe,
just maybe, Bart Simpson sigs have been warlorded before.

So how can you manage to keep from warlording the same sig everyone else has?
Well what's a frosh to do? 

Here's a list of the most frequently warlorded sigs. All of these sigs have
been warlorded at on three seperate occasions in the past several months.
Thumb through them. Memorize them. Recognise that this stuff is for amateur 
warlorders, and that you'll only bring yawns by reposting them here.

Take another look at that subject line.

Hmm, obviously not the side view of the car it might at first seem to be ---
the wheels are too high up the body.

Aha!  It is a front view of the Pinhead family out for a Sunday drive.
(Perhaps the rest of it was truncated by an over-zealous inews? Go Inews!)
Mom and Pop Pinhead are sitting sedately in the front, but Pinhead Jr is
standing on the back seat with his head out the sunroof.  Junior just spat
foreward, trying to hit the windscreen in front of Pop, but the speedy line
'/', which shows wind direction, illustrates that Junior is shortly gonna
get it back in his face.  Serves the little bastard right.

Dick Tracey secret decoder ring. None seemed to work. My guess is that that

Well, it's only 19 lines and 976 characters...

No whitespace damage when doing followup, but it seems like he forgot

Nice lines above and below signature, they're almost wide enough.

Oh well, a reminder of what they spend their time at down there
during summer (except writing signatures, that is).

No. But he might be (Lasse is a boy name). Feel free to flame him though -
he is at the moment 6 hours and 17 minutes behind me on the nnusage list.
