And now, Ladies and Gentlemen[sic], Die Meachmeisterin Theatre of the Absurd
proudly presents: Act the Second of "No .Sigs, Please. . . We're Morons!"
by that world famous playwright, Clueless Newbie!

In alt.tv.90120.sucks.sucks.sucks, <1813p8INN5vl@aludra.usc.edu.,
sgoldste@aludra.usc.edu (Fogbound Child) fearlessly enqueues his .sig directly
behind that of the previous poster:

How thoughtful!  Here is poor Scott, Desperately Seeking Stupid to append
to his .sig. . . and, just like that, along come Fogbound Child [indeed!],
who clearly went out without his .sigcondoms one night, with just the very
thing!

Could this be the start of the new trend about which George was wondering?
The .Sigcascade - what a concept!

BTW: No way am I going to be the one to point out that there was a glaring
error in the naming of this newsfroup. . . ask bigdave what it is!

Hmm, quite a creditable self-portrait using just six lines. But
Adrienne, I'd do something about that moustache if I were you. Just
look in the personal colums of Exchange&Mart and you'll probably find
something that can help.

Or failing that, try Radio Shack.

Ahhhhhh! But let's take a closer look at this thang!

Point the first:

A view of the 'trn' thread-tree:  (1)+-(1)--(1)+-(1)
                                     |         |-(1)
                                     |         \-(2)+-(2)--(2)

                                     \-(1)        |
                                                  |
                            Here is where George got into the act. . .
Already a follow-up far, far from the original!  (How many points does
Henry get for all of those follow-ups to a pointless posting in the first
place?)

Point the Second:

Tim 'Master-baiter' O'Donoghue suggests credit for t.besque Newsgroups/
Followup-To: lines, when a quick peek at his own posting wit shows:

>Followup-To: alt.fan.warlord,alt.newbie,alt.
              frosh,alt.tee.hee.hee

Sheesh!

Point the Third:

Craig 'The Meach made me do it!' Harding wants to exclude CARASSO from the
game, but play by CARASSOesque rules. . . c'mon, kilroy!  You can't have your
Kate and Edith, too!

Where to from here, George?

Comrade Townsend is a worried man. He recently took the imperialist pig-dog
tour of backsliding capitalist Disney Studios. The American's they washed
the fore brains of Comrade Townsend, and this is what we got back. They are
lower than the lowest turnip. We should retaliate with a massive nuclear
strike immediately, for so besmirching the glorious people's revolution.

Sometimes the most casual details intrigue me. Like, why did this poor fellow
go to all the trouble of making a big ASCII square root of four rather than
just typing '2'.

It must have something to do with his logo for 'IV'.

This Eccles guy really gets on my wick. He's an unfunny, tab damaged twerp
who hangs round a.f.p trying (and failing) to be witty. I mean who on earth
would have "eccles" as a nickname? I think the H.P. Lovecraft dweeb-quote
and the really, really amusing typo aphorism just about sum this nitwit
up. Thank you.

Nice to see the Wolfman did eventually (after much negative comment on a
certain newsgroup which shall remain nameless) reduce his .sig to rather
less excessive proportions, although its still pretty ugly. I mean, why
does he have a particularly hairsuit Chinese grinning out of the screen
at us, and what is this strange fetish with wolves? (Peter da Silva, he
known as Orgasms with Wolves).

Anyway, ugly .sig aside, he seems to be turning his doubted talents to
BUAF-ing with avengence over on a.f.p. What a guy. Let's all call his
BBS and leave termcaps on it in mute appreciation of his skill.
