conspiracies, I won't move to the US. I'm very proud to live here in
Canada, and I intend to live here for the rest of my life :) (After
all, the UN DID rate us as the number one country :)
I don't think there are consiracies in Canada...most everything our
government does, the public finds out. Guess one could say we're pretty

Yes, I did hatch FWALL22E.ZIP and it is on the DDS site on the web and ftp

Yes it was hatched and it is on the site in the FREEWARE classification. If
you can't find it, try the file searcher and enter FWALL and it should find
it for you and everyone else who is hunting.

anything to do with a BBS, then you are ok here.
Trying as hard as I can, I just cannot see how Area 51 has anything to do
with a BBS nor can I see how the US invading or not invading Canada or Canada
invading or not invading the US has anything to do with a BBS either.
This is a gentle reminder, folks, let's take the political commentaries to
another echo and Area 51 may be more appropriate in the UFO echo so long as
it is allowed there.

assistant: Hi Folks!
Planet Connect has established new satellites for both of its 19.2 and 128k
feeds now. I will begin to hatch out again later today.
If anyone receives files via PC and has not moved their dishes to the new
satellites, in the meantime, you might want to turn on the ddsfiles listserv
so anything hatched into DDSDOORS will come into your email. I will post
about how to do that in the next message.
Be advised that any files in the DDSEXTRA FDN are not sent out into the
ddsfiles listserv at this time. If anyone wishes me to start another listserv
for this file echo, let me know asap.

Do you have an email address?
If so, you can get it NOW easily and of course free with little effort on
our
part.
Join the DDSDOORS ddsfiles listserv. The only function of this listserv will
be
to send out the new DDSDOORS hatched files and you will be sent them at the
same time I hatch them. Get the latest and greatest DoorGames available today

Here's the information.
Address an email to majordomo@petpride.org
No subject is needed.
Begin the body on the first line and simply type:

That's it! You will be sent back a confirmation that you will have to reply
to.
This is to be sure your email is correct and that you want this listserv.
Any questions, I hope not. It's as easy as can be!
Join now and get the files sent to you directly. Be sure your ISP will allow
you at the very least a meg of email file attaches, some days there are quite
a
few files. If you have any problem with this, I suggest you set up an account
(free) at http://www.hotmail.com where there seems to be no problems with
limitations that I have seen. There, you will get the hatch message and will
be
able to choose to download or NOT download the file itself as you wish.

The Engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year,

The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package
of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental,
company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a
company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?"

2. Cats can't steal them.

But the fourth point eluded him. When there were barely

fourth point flashed to his mind. So he completed the answer

assistant: It's Magic!
A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean.  The
audience would be different each week, so the magician allowed himself
to do the same tricks over and over again.
There was only one problem:  The captain's parrot saw the shows each
week and began to understand how the magician did every trick.  Once
he understood he started shouting in the middle of the show:
   "Look, it's not the same hat"
   "Look, he is hiding the flowers under the table"
   "Hey, why are all the cards the Ace of Spades ?"
The magician was furious but couldn't do anything; it was, after all,
the captain's parrot.
One day the ship had an accident and sank.  The magician found himself
on a piece of wood in the middle of the ocean with the parrot, of
course.
They stared at each other with hate, but did not utter a word.  This
went on for a day and another and another.
After a week the parrot said:  "OK, I give up.  Where's the boat?"

You don't need to be a ventriloquist, just put a small battery powered tape
player with that comment on it near a women.  IMPORTANT NOTE:  be sure to
leave blank tape between the start of the tape and the message.  This way
you can be sure to verify your kevlar vest, riot helmet and blast shields.
It would also be advisible to have a friend in a car nearby, in case you have
to leave in a hurry...
Another thing you could to for fun would be to take the tape, and leave it in
hear car stereo.  When she plays the tape (for this one you have to record
over part of a music tape) and hears the message, well, I don't know what
would happen and I wouldn't want to be anywhere near it when it happens..
