In bed.

Lights out.

Missionary Position.

And at the point of orgasm, the lights suddenly spring on, revealing
both of your families, and all the teachers you ever had in elementary

Somebody told me that Cerebus was awesome & I had to read it.
So I bought a couple and settled down to browse.  I read the

shouldn't have whined that I wasn't getting enough sex from my

I threw the comics out.

I can't let my brother come to t.b cuz he'd break the pattern.  He'd become
an oldbie with his first post.

Well, honestly, i asked him to come to improve the bloody s-to-n ratio, but
he said he wasn't interested.  Said t.b was full of weirdos.

My brother does not use the word "weirdo" very often.

He may post occasionally if i insist enough, but he won't read the froup.

Once I went to see John Zorn at Harvard. He brought out a tray full of
mouthpieces for his sax, and proceeded to go "SKROONK HONK HOWWWWWWL"
for a full hour. The critics from the local newspapers left after
about a minute or two. No story today.

During much of this time, the microphone was fully jammed into the
saxaphone bell, and the BOSE-brand sound reinforcement instruments
emitted a lovely orange glow from their horn-like protruberances.

After the concert, I wanted to get Zorn to sign my earplugs, but we
had to catch the bus.

I saw Gangster Fun, a Detroit ska band, do a cover of "Achey Breaky Heart."

Back on the topic, though...

I wanna see TMBG do a cover of Lou Reed's "Heroin".

Dear lsquerp@scumvax,

	I read your recent post. It was truly funny, but I couldn't fully
appreciate it, because I was vomiting so hard.
	I will be posting it twice. Thank you for your submission.

one thing about stress is that, for me at least, it produces weird and
vivid dreams. most of mine seem to concern sex with completely imaginary
people. although one dream took place at an imaginary house, i have
dreamed about the place before. it is a really cool house with several
stories and a yard with good sized trees. it was cold and cloudy out so i
guess i was prob in seattle. the house would be what my old apartment
would be like if it was one big house and had a yard. yeah. i find sexual
stimulation is good for stress relief, anyone else have an opinion on
this? bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.

There *is* no net gravitational pull at the center of the earth.  Bob and Mou
Yoeung would be flying towards each other at around 8 km/sec apiece,
approximately 27 times the speed of sound.  With a relative approach velocity
of Mach 54, there wouldn't be enough of either left to bounce off of or stick
to anything.

On a similar note, you've noticed the perceived "relatedness" of two notes an
octave apart.  What would two *colors* an octave apart look like?  (we see a
little less than one octave.)

Because office cubicles and prison cells are square, and God hates offices.
