>Anne, the game starts tonight...at 2100 hours...  8-)

The game will start as soon as I hear from blomberg what category he chooses
first. I've decided to play more in accord with the original rules.... if I
can remember them. I've constructed an 'email' board, which if it downloads
correctly will help to keep track of where everyone is. I should be posting
that board before the start of the game very shortly.... I hope I can get in
before uga goes down. On the first turn everyone chooses a category to start;
subsequent moves will be by the roll of a dice ( I'll roll the dice for
everyone else and Jenna will roll one for me... or pick a number if she hasn't
got a dice). The board status will posted and the player whose turn it is will
be required to edit the board to place him/herself in the next position they
want and then repost it back to the list..... at which point I will ask them
a new question in that new category they have selected. If they land on a
topic which they have already correctly answered a question on previously,
play passes to the next player. If they miss a question, play also passes on.
I will ask all of the questions, except my own.... Jenna, since she was the
first to offer can ask me my questions. All the rest of you will be presented
with questions taken from the Australian game..... my questions will be from
an American game..... as I mentioned previously, while many of the questions
may be the same there are still some that are peculiar to their country of
origin.

You are on your honour (yes, Giggles!)..... but all the other players are at
liberty to check on the other players.... if you are found to have logged on
after your question has been posted and you log off without answering it, you
will be immediately disqualified. The only defence will be if the time the
message was received by  your system is after you logged off, so keep a copy
of your messages, in case of a dispute.

Now, I'm off to add the new players to the board so I can post it in time.

Come on Blomberg, your go.... select a category.

          drag my mouse over to the smoking joint icon and double-click?

I know he has a brother who I've seen with a can of XXXX in his hand, so it

I just discovered that the 'reply' command is the same on trn as on nn -- F.
Maybe I'll use trn more often.  But I still don't know other commands (like
the mail command etc.).  I'm on trn right now because the postings I'm 
reading right now are not yet available on nn.  I got the 'no news is good
news' blurb on nn so entered trn and found various things available.

Re Bernardykins and procreation, have I mentioned the possibility of 
freezing some of his cells for future cloning?  A physiologist friend of
mine suggested it a year or so ago.  Although the cloning know-how doesn't
exist yet, it's possible that it might sometime in the future and that if
I had some of B's cells frozen, I might be able to bring him back to life.

other methods (using two other PC's) to get work done.  But you are right.

Bayla, we commiserate and hope you find a usable and cheap net connection.

Are there no public access unix sites near you in Florida?  If you could
find one, they are usually reasonable in cost -- don't know if you could
telnet to eniac though.  Many of the ones around here have their own
usenet feeds as well, so you could read words-l that way.

Yes, you can.  As long as you're in the frontmost car and are willing to

coming from someone who would certainly qualify as a dick-brained moron under
this definition, I find myself compelled to express my surprise that you would
be so jejune as to believe that intelligence has only one definition. I have
discovered in my life that people who are insecure about something (well,
everyone really, but especially them) are careful to define that something
in terms as close as possible to their perception of themselves, trying to
build up their own self-esteem by excluding as many others as possible.

I have lost once in my life at TP. I would prefer having a brain that was less
trivia-oriented and a bit better able to retain the <big picture>, but I still
do a damn good job of that, thank you. And I suspect that having to arrive at
the <big picture> via some sort of neural detour provides a greater ability to
have a fresh perception of it than those who always take the trunk route in.

you really do have an amazingly blinkered view of the world sometimes, graham.

b.c.
