Sorry to post to the list, but it is far easier than singleing out all the AP's email addresses that I know... I'm going to have to say goodbye to everyone...First of all I have lost all computer privileges, and I'm not even supposed to be writing this.. (dont tell anyone Ashley please) second of all, I'm going away for awhile.. my parents dont think I'm fit to live the way I am now. they are sending me to a hospital named Shepard-Pratt(I think thats it) in Baltimore for at the minimum 3 months and even up to a year possibly...:P I'm hoping the program is going to help me and not be a complete waste of a chunk of my life... I'm going with as much of an open mind as I can, but who knows what the future holds... I just want to say thank you to everyone and it was great hanging out with everyone in richmond, DC and the chatroom... I'm unsubscribing relatively soon, it depends on the chances of sneaking in mail checks before I leave... so far we dont know when I'm going into the hospital, my parents said as soon as a bed opens up there, whihc is possibly days or weeks....but they did say it was definite.. :( I'm most likely not going to make it to the Raleigh show, so could someone on the list please take charge for me? Ashley, could you take care of the tickets with Kent and all please.. he has two tix for Kristina and Kelly as well as people here in Winston... Lyza, I'm probably not oging to be able to give you a place to stay in July, but talk to Ashley Ernst (Pyroshwee@aol.com) and she might be able to help you out...um lets see, what else? I hope Rochester is a blast you guys.. dont party too much....I guess... I'm signing out now.. talk to you guys later.. hope most of you will be here when I get back...Becky, Allan, Bill, tim, ej, spring, rick, Jarrod, robby, cathy, kristina, kelly, Jim, kristi, michelle, Poe, Cameron, and everyone else..

Of course Legions Of Doom was really the more famous of the hacking groups at the time. Not to be confused with M.O.D. - Method of Destruction either. Some thrash/punk group from the 80's.

OK- sounds like noone has a problem with me doing the "address book", so here it is, the questionarre! - -][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][-][- OK you psychos (and thats a good thing!) it's time to get crackin on the "Address Book" for lack of a better name at this point. Perhaps the "Complete Directory to Psychos across the globe" would be more appropriate? If you have a good name to suggest, send it in. Anyway, I'm sure most of you know how this works. The directory will be loacated at this address: http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~rvanatta/poe Memorize it, Recite it, Tattoo it on your butt for all I care- but thats gonna be the directory for the psychos :) There is nothing there right now except a copy of this message. One big concern was the issue of having phone numbers and addresses on the page- answer is NOPE. E-mails will be on the page. If you want someones addy or phone number, send them an e-mail! Concern was expressed to wether or not there would be a "text" version of this- and the answer is yes, I suppose. The main page will be Netscape or whatever enhanced, and I'll have a text version too for those of you behind the times ;) When I get some responses to the next part, i will begin posting "da list". I'm not sure how i'm gonna organize things yet- realistically, I'm thinking just one big page. If I think I should split it, I'll split it. The order people will be listed will not be by senority, how much you love poe (because it's a big 350+ person tie, i'm sure), but instead, the first response to this i get in my box will be the first person on the page. Maybe I'll shift things around every month. Maybe I won't! The Next Part: Now, your mission as an angry psycho, should you choose to accept it, is to answer the following questions for "da page" and reply to vanatta@juno.com Hint: thats not the e-mail i'm writing from now. DO NOT REPLY TO DA LIST! DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MAILBOX REPLY TO vanatta@juno.com! If you can't do this, you're going at the bottom of the list, or something I can think of thats really really bad as soon as I come up with something OK? :P And now the big questions, answer as many as you want. Your Real Name: Your Real E-mail (poe.org addresses a-ok!): Your POE.ORG chat nick/ nickname/ list nick: (i.e. mine is 'Mirror') Your favorite Color: (and remember not just blue, is it DARK blue or LIGHT blue? i want to know this) Your favorite POE Song: (try not to say 'all of them' because everyone will put that) Your Hometown: Other favorite Musicians: (try to keep it to your very very favorites) # of POE concerts attended, where: (Don't feel bad if its 0- thats my number too :( ) Favorite Food: Favorite Quote: (doesn't have to be POE ya know) Your BIRTHDAY: Which makes you how old? (i'm not a math major, ok?) Next, I want a link to your picture, if there already is one on the web. OR, tell me you have a pic on your hard drive that you can attach in an e-mail to me. DO NOT SEND ATTACHMENTS WITH THIS REPLY- JUNO WILL BARF ON IT AND SEND IT BACK TO YOU, AND I WON'T GET YOUR MESSAGE I repeat: DO NOT SEND PICTURE ATTACHMENTS WITH THIS REPLY - I'll get the picture from ya later, OK? If you want to snail mail me a picture, I have a color scanner (hand held, 4 inches wide), so I am voulenterring to scan pics. E-Mail me for the place to snail mail pics. So what if you don't want your picture on the page? Thats OK, I'm designing cute little "placeholders" for the people that don't have pictures. Little graphics with POE quotes or something. :P LAST BUT NOT LEAST: This is a chance for you to say something to all your angry psycho brothers and sisters: Try to keep it within reason (like umm less that 100 words or something). Maybe it will be a simple POE quote, maybe it will be a list of people you love, maybe it will be the million dollar choclate chip cookie recipie, i don't care! (well, i do, but ya know). Be creative!!!!!! If you have any other little "factoids" you want to add about yourself, like "Favorite Animal:" go ahead and send them too! Maximum 5, ok? Yes, there is going to be a LOT of information on every angry psycho. But thats what we WANT, right? :) SO REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE ALREADY- vanatta@juno.com AP LOVE! - -<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>->< This message was from Rob Vanatta rvanatta@ecst.csuchico.edu mirror@poe.org http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~rvanatta Administrator of the "All About Alanis" Venue on Firefly Networks http://venues.firefly.com:80/venues?venueid=3175 - -<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>->< "Who can tell me if we have heaven, who can say the way it should be" - Enya "China Roses" "Can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being" - POE "Trigger Happy Jack" (Drive by a Go-Go) - -<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>-><-<>->< ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 May 1997 03:18:03 -0400 (EDT) From: VR5SBloom@aol.com Subject: NPC: For all of you This is what I call PsYcHoTherapy... 24 hours in the life of the angry-psychos@smoe.org mailing list: To the new angry-psychos: Welcome to this list, even though we haven't really presented ourselves in the best way for the past couple of weeks. ::) {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Jarrod}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} To Clint: may Poe rest your burden, and may the cello guide you back to us soon. ::> To Sahbreenah: I was really shocked to hear about the loss of your job...because it seemed like you really enjoyed it, seeing you in the chat room while at work ;) ...I wish you good luck with the job search.

Okay, my last post was my favorite Poe moment. This is my most . disappointing. . . It was this past December. Up here in Boston there were a number of shows . all going on the same night. Some radio station kind of thing. I had a . dilemma. Poe was schedualed to play at TT the Bear's place and I know . that club. It is SSSSOOOOOOO small it couldn't be anything but a great . show. You couldn't get any more intimate with the band if you had them at . a private performance. My choice was this, go see Poe who I had seen four . times up to that point or go see Mazzy Star who I had never seen. . Diplomacy won and I went to the Mazzy show. Well by the time Mazzy went . on at midnight the crowd was drunk and just wouldn't stop the cat calls to . lead singer Hope Sandoval. They played about three songs and left the . stage. Not only did I not get to see Mazzy but I missed the chance to see . Poe at TT's. Live and learn. . . What's the deal on getting the goods? AP clothes, tapes, etc,...? . . Now about this original/new AP's. I'm new on this list but what about the . people, like me, who were on the ilmortal@net.bluemoon.net list prior to . this? What does that make me? Come on folks. . .

"For us to be with POE." www.poe.org >> > --------- Begin forwarded message ---------- >> > From a woman named Susan@premier-travel.com This is a true story... Please forward it to everyone that you can... You will have to read it to believe it... My daughter and I had just finished a salad at Neiman-Marcus Cafe in Dallas & decided to have a small dessert. Because both of us are such cookie lovers, we decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus Cookie". It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe and the waitress said with a small frown "I'm afraid not." "Well" I said, "would you let me buy the recipe?" With a cute smile, she said "YES". I asked how much and she responded, "Only two fifty, it's a great deal!" I said with approval, "just add it to my tab". Thirty days later, I received my VISA statement from Neiman-Marcus and it was $285.00. I looked again and remembered I had only spent $9.95 for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. As I glanced at the bottom of the statement, it said, "Cookie Recipe - $250.00". That's outrageous!!! I called Neiman's Accounting Dept. and told them that the waitress said it was "two-fifty," which clearly does not mean "two hundred and fifty dollars" by any POSSIBLE interpretation of the phrase. Neiman-Marcus refused to budge. They would not refund my money, because according to them, "What the waitress told you is not our problem. You have already seen the recipe - we absolutely will not refund your money at this point." I explained to her the criminal statutes which govern fraud in Texas. I threatened to refer them to the Better Business Bureau and the State's Attorney General for engaging in fraud. I was basically told, "Do what you want, we dont give a crap, and we're not refunding your money." I waited a moment, thinking of how I could get even, or even try to get any of my money back. I just said, "Okay, you folks got my $250.00, and now I'm going to have $250.00 worth of fun." I told her that I was going to see to it that every cookie lover in the United States with an e-mail account has a $250.00 cookie recipe from Neiman-Marcus... for free. She replied, "I wish you wouldn't do this" I said, "Well you should have thought of that before you ripped me off", and slammed down the phone on her. So, here it is!!! Please, please, please pass it on to everyone you can possibly think of. I paid $250.00 dollars for this... I don't want Neiman-Marcus to ever get another penny off of this recipe... (Recipe may be halved): 2 cups butter 4 cups flour 2 tsp. baking soda 2 cups granulated sugar 2 cups brown sugar 5 cups blended oatmeal (measure oatmeal and blend in blender to a fine powder) 24 oz. chocolate chips 1 tsp. salt 1 8 oz. Hershey bar (grated) 4 eggs 2 tsp. baking powder 3 cups chopped nuts (your choice) 2 tsp. vanilla Cream the butter and both sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey bar and nuts. Roll into balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies. Have Fun!!! This is not a joke - this is a true story... Ride free citizens!!!! This isn't some stupid chain letter either.. pass it on.. if you don't, you won't die or get dumped.. you'll just do the world an inservice.

On a related note to what "cocky" wrote below, my fiancee and I just rented the movie, "Beyond Rangoon" (I highly recommend it!), in which an American woman gets caught up in the Burmese democracy movement. Burma (or Myanmar) is largely a Buddhist country (with the obvious exception of the military dictators!), and our heroine's traveling companion, a professor forbidden by the military from ever teaching again because his support of the democracy movement, says to her: "Buddhism teaches that the only promise life keeps is suffering. So, when we have happiness, we see it as a treasure to be cherished, because we know how fleeting it is." _______________________________________________________________________________ Well with everyones bad news, i though i share some great news.. The sun still comes up in the east and graces my body with deep warth that each of us has felt. When it sets it still uses the bottom of the passing by clouds as canvas to paint auborn paintings. The moon still mystically appears providing soft light for lovers. Music sounds just as sweet. My eyes dance to the chaotic beat of swirling clouds. Anyway, to all that care. It is encouraging that we have the choice every day to be happy or sad. That we can choose to live or die. That we choose, period. Once you set yourself to be a possitive person all that has troubled you now gives you power.
