Men choose stalls (cubicles?) this way:

If all stalls are empty, piss on the floor near the door.

If some are occupied, piss on the floor near the door.

If all are full, piss in the soap dish.

You are more than welcome to come over here and vote.  It would certainly
help with the pathetic turnout we usually have.

There is a small problem, of course, in that in order to register to vote in
most large Eastern US cities, you have to be dead.

Then again, I suppose you could always take a look at the sewing on view

	That (along with the fact that I'd freeze my ass off and kill myself
in the winter.  Not that I wouldn't be likely to do the same in the
summer...) is why I drive a diesel VW rather than riding a bike.  Tired of
those nasty tailgaters?  You can back the rev limiter off and shift 5th -->

A few weeks ago I got a couple of calls from friends of mine saying my 
name was on the Unclaimed Property list for the State of Wisconsin.  
So I send for the forms and I get this printout saying "Keystone 
Mutual Fund S-4, value undetermined".

"Oh, yeah," I say, "my godmother used to buy me mutual fund shares for 
Christmas and birthdays.  Geez, I wonder how much this is worth."

A couple of days later my wife and I were at the insurance agent's 
office and I mentioned this.  He looked something up on his computer 
and said that that mutual fund had increased 150 times in the last 10 
years - and I had had it for maybe 15.  If it started with $200 it'd 
be worth $3000 now.  $400 would be worth $6000!

So my wife called the company and asked for the value of the account.  
Answer: $30.  Damn service fees.

You forget about the rather evil and twisted Blockheads from

they call someone else Blockhead.

Hm. Maybe you still find the idea mildly attractive.

Today I was going through my various videotapes, for which I have failed to
keep accurate records of the contents for a long time.  Most of them contain
Twin Peaks episodes, and I can usually fast-forward over those(I'd watch them
again if I had the time, but all I need to know is that a one-hour block of
space is accounted for).

I found a They Might Be Giants Spotlight that I'd recorded a year and a half
ago, and settled down to watch it.  My wife was doing a crossword puzzle in
the same room.

When "Istanbul(Not Constantinople)" came on, she informed me that she had just
filled that in as a clue.  26-Across, Constantinople, turned out to be
Istanbul.

Also note my current album, which came up in random sequence as usual.

called "The Republic March"

Me: Do you remeber how you heard about it? A magazine, a book?
IoP: (long pause) No

WHATTA LOSER. I mean, he doesnt even fucking remember why he was looking
for this piece, dont know the real name, dont know the author, what
kind of music it is, where he heard about it, yet he still feels compelled
to call us long distance to ask about it. his call was made even more

Your poem has been examined by an examination committee and
found to be scannously deficient.

The poetically correct version is:

       Roses are red,
       and violets are blue,
       uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
       yeah, me too.

Thank you for your cooperation.

     "the things people do when they have nothing to do can be
    pretty silly. those same people can become all important in
    each others lives. the things they do increase in proportion.
    soon a lot of people who do nothing individually scrutinize
    the miniscule doings of others. this, in short is 'falling
    in love' "
                                            Steve Albini

    
    Although 'falling in love' is not activity I would associate
    with this newsgroup, this quote strongly reminded me of 
    talk.bizarre,.....for some reason or other.....

Yesterday I cleaned out all the no-longer-wanted news articles and other
assorted crap I had collected in my user directory.

We now have 10MB more space on the fileserver.
