the way i heard it, herring invented cheeze wiz millenia ago as a way
to preserve their race in times of scarcity - much like the way some
unicellular organisms form cysts. since cheeze wiz contains almost
nothing organic, even in times of total famine these containers of
herring genes could be manufactured. chheze wiz was in fact discovered
in the early 1900's and after a huge scientific effort it was
synthesized in the for the first time n the 50's. 
all herring, in fact, taste just like cheddar cheese. what they give
you in the deli is fake
strangely enoguh, the mass synthesis of herring has actually served to
reduce the overall hering population

Things are randomly falling out of my closet, parts of the floor have a slight
crusty buildup of dirt, I can't shut any of the drawers anymore, and It's
starting to smell in there.  I think my dorm room is trying to tell me that its
time to leave, so it's a good thing I'm graduating tomorrow.  

That means I'll be cut off for a while because I won't have access to a lab and
I don't have my own computer.  Even if I did, I probably wouldn't have access
to these newsgroups because the area I live in (Springfield, Colo. pop. 1,200
approx) wouldn't carry something like this because they would probably ban it,
knowing the backwoods, redneck, old fashion, Ford pickup truck drivin', bronc
bustin', "don't trust no computer and those commie news thangs" attitude of the
place, but it's home.  Hopefully, I'll be able to find a job somewhere in the 
Denver/Boulder and get connected up again soon, and I will try to keep my
present account, so go ahead and E-mail or followup up on anything if you
need/want to.  

As I mentioned before, I will be graduating tomorrow, completing an information
systems degree under the assumed name of Charles Holt.  Because I was never
caught, and never paid a penny, I have also gained a masters degree in covert 
activities from the College of Espionage at Miskatonic University.

Speaking of Miskatonic, I will also be awaiting the upcoming Leng Bowl, pitting
Miskatonic (11-0) against the Academy of Applied Omniscience (11-0). 
Miskatonic will definitely have to change their previous game plan of assuming
the identity of another team and play their game, because the A.A.O. already
knows who they are playing.  And Miskatonic is already facing a 90 point spread
in favor of A.A.O.  I've been consistently posting the results from these teams
game throughout the season, primarily on alt.discordia.  But as I said earlier,
I won't be near a lab and it will be a little while before I post it.  Even if
I was near one I still wouldn't be able to do it because I will probably be
mysteriously unavailable that day.

I think we also have to look at the other side of this oo, orce stuff.
Anything that contains an "orce" sound should be pronounced "oo". for example

horse becomes "hoo"
"Luke, I will turn you over to the dark side of the Foo"
morse code becomes moo code, taking on a whole new meaning.

I'd think of more, but my vocabulary consists of only 3 words, horse force and 
morse.

Since all these new religions (SPAM, etc.) coming out, I thought I might try
inventing one, but someone may have already beaten me to it.  I've noticed that
the oath that is taken by Wal Mart store employees goes something like this,
"...I promise to look at, smile at, say hello to, and give a BIG WET SLOPPY
KISS smack dab on the mouth to every customer within 5 miles of me SO HELP ME
SAM."  Okay, so I lied about the sloppy kiss and the promised range is only 10
feet, but they do say "SO HELP ME SAM" (refering to Sam Walton, the founder of
Wal Mart).  

It seems like that last part, "SO HELP ME SAM", kind of makes him some sort of 
god figure.  There is also some element of central control, because the heating
and lighting of every store is controlled by computer from Bentonville,
Arkansas.  Their regional managers are also sort of like missionaries, always
on the road, visiting stores all the time.

Maybe we could combine something like this with the previously proposed
alt.shopping-list and have some fun with it.  We will need some things like a
devil figure, a christ figure, an anti-Sam etc. etc.

							Sincerely,
							Lieutenant Wilkes

P.S.	Speaking of alt.shopping-list, I'm going to be graduating soon and I'm
	going to need the following things:

		A job
		A place to live
		Food, lots of it
		A new bicycle
		A computer with a modem
		A CD player
		Various other consumer durables
		Two rolls of white plastic tape

Anybody need anything?

THE MOTHER OF ALL CLIFFS

	You are at the edge of that one cliff, cooper's rock state park
in west virginia and this new girl is with you.  the beer and
cigarettes are at the picnic table a few yards from the
edge and the river below is full of coke and she turns towards
you.  "I found a seed in your desk.  I'm not an idiot you told
me you didn't do that shit.  Are you lying to me?"
	And you turn back and say now and say how you don't like
free climbing and would rather have a harness.  "As long
as you're not lying to me.  Because I think the honesty
counts for more."
	You carry dead weight with you when you climb because she
convinced you to bring a radio as you now sit feet dangling over,
on top of the state but in the middle of your state.
	You have been to this particular cliff before you
think although its hard to remember because it was a long time
ago, summer of fourteen years, first blow, second smoke, first
hit.
	You too carry around a hunk of black crud, a inner
skin of waste that sticks contently to your outside, hidden and 
only a good purification would suck it all out, not like she sucks
you, sucks your personality, tries to and you follow her lead.  Sometimes you
scrape some of it away and smoke it again and again and again 
and you wonder if the cigarettes are a habit or a crutch or a substitution
and you tell her to stay out of your shit.
	"If you do that crap tell me because I deserve to know
because it makes a difference to me.  Will I have to hide
my money?  Do you need help?  Here, let me help you, you are so
tense and your muscles are so tight here i'll do it slow
so i work your muscles and you won't even notice because if
you do it too fast it ends up hurting some and you'll end
up clenching some."
	Listen you tell her quietly, listen and you don't smoke
pot and you don't want her dissecting you because you don't
even dissect you.  The pot is somewhere between the picnic table
and you there is something else by the edge but you hold
on tight enough, gravity holds you down tight enough, inertia keeps
you still but it pushes her around and she lights up a smoke
and offers you one and you accept then duck down behind
the mountain laural with her and your feet dangle off the rock.

So you want me to spill my beans, eh? Well, there's a lot of nonsense going
on in my head now but I'll give you the rundown:
    Sometimes you get to feeling that beyond all the little victories and
self-reveries amid negative forces working against you, there is little else
to sustain through all the other stuff you'd rather not have to deal with.
When I feel like this, I act out, hence the illustrious message of a few
days ago. Usually just writing about how much people piss me off helps
tremendously. It helped last week, it was very cathartic. It's just life,
I guess, but that's to be expected. We're all going through that, and
my bitching won't help the situation so... It's just the way I feel.
