I really want to thank those list-owners and list-members who contributed funds towards the effort. I was pleasantly surprised by the generosity of the list-members! You raised nearly $600, which was enough to purchase 2 disk drives. The second disk drive was needed about 2 weeks ago when a second disk failed. Please pass my thanks on to your list-members! - -jeff - ----------------- End Forwarded Message ----------------- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Oct 1997 07:46:32 -0500 (EST) From: RThurF@aol.com Subject: Re: Re: Alloy: Cool Awards In a message dated 10/29/97 2:58:21 PM, Elaine & then Lem wrote: <<>RealVideo won best innovation.

Though I'd love it if he'd won (I got EVERYONE I know, across the country, to vote for him!) it seems nothing will stop Beatnik from flourishing as an essential part of cyberlife as we know it. By the next century the entire landscape in here will be so dramatically changed for the better, thanks to Thomas and his brilliant co-workers. I personally can't wait 'til we get a new computer which can actually handle sound without crashing & spewing black smoke; until then I can't help but feel like I'm only two-dimentional in a multi-dimensional universe!

[I'm beginning to worry about this. Beth, do you do counselling or therapy? Why am I obsessed with things lavatorial? I need HELLLLLLP!!] So with apologies to D Hicks, the writer of 'I Scare Myself' I present for your delight and delectation 'I Soil Myself.' By way of explanation, in case this isn't in common usage everywhere, 'loo' is a rather coy term in England for 'toilet.' To set the scene, this could perhaps be a young man's feelings about his first love about whom he's particularly nervous, maybe when he's trying to pluck up the courage to ask for a date with a young lady he sees every day, perhaps at school, but has always been just too frightened to talk to. (Ring any bells with anyone?) Slarv ****************************************** I soil myself, just thinking about you, I soil myself, when I am without you I soil myself, the moment that you're gone, I soil myself, when I let my guts run and when they're running I keep thinking of you And when they're running what can I do? I soil myself and I don't mean lightly I soil myself, in my stripey nighty I soil myself, just look at all that ... 'Pooh!' I soil myself, it's some kind of bad 'do' And with that bad 'do' I keep thinking of you and with that bad 'do' what can I do? But it's so very different when I'm 'together.' and I am so much cleaner, I feel better cause the washroom will be locked, forever and the sooner I find a new one the better. And then I'll use the loo and I won't soil myself I'll know where to 'go' and I won't soil myself My guts won't run and I won't soil myself and when I think of you I won't soil my-self [It's meeee I'm soiling ......... it's meeeee I'm soiling......... it's meeeee I'm soiling.......... it's meeeee I'm soiling................] ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Oct 1997 19:23:50 -0500 From: Beth Meyer Subject: Re: Alloy: Dolby parody contest -- Airhead Hi, Slarv; >Oh, Crackers, now you've started me off again and I'm afraid it's another >'washroom type' offering. [I'm beginning to worry about this. Beth, do you >do counselling or therapy? Why am I obsessed with things lavatorial?

However, I can work on making your faucets and toilets more ergonomic. :-) I can also helpfully point out that you had me laughing out loud with this one -- it was simple but quite effective!
