This produces tea which is blacker than coffee - it's hard to drink at first but produces a superior caffeine buzz. for some reason, a lot of people (like dan h) think this is very very bad. i say, like, whatever! _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2001 18:21:30 -0800 (PST) From: Dan Stapleton Subject: [oztori] Fwd: Re: Aussie EWF need you! woohoo!!! i sent mike an e-mail asking him to plug oztori and the net 50 campaign, and got this reply :) l'il dan - --- Mikewhy wrote: > Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2001 20:28:48 -0500 > To: Dan Stapleton > From: Mikewhy > Subject: Re: Aussie EWF need you! > > Thanks Dan.

I know Neri said talk about this offlist, but I'm sure I can get some Tori relevance from this SOMEWHERE!! > and Jasmina...."ALL things are good in some way, why else would they > exist?" > umm...ok, tell me what is benificial health-wise, when a person smokes a > cigarette? or why don't we all go drink some drain-cleaner...there hasta > be > SOME good in it! lol...the simple fact is, that not everything in this > world > has something good in it....thats pretty illogical =P > WEll, I think that when Jasmina said that 'ALL things are good in some way', I don't know if she was talking about purely health-wise. Surely, yes, a cigarette is very very bad health-wise, but I know that I get enjoyment from it - otherwise I wouldn't do it because I KNOW it's very very very bad for me. And drain cleaner is good for cleaning drains - therefore, it's good in some way, but bad if you drink it. (So I am imploring you, please, PLEASE do not drink drain cleaner!) But I believe that absolutely everything has two sides - whether it be good or bad, dirty or clean, positive or negative - or else it wouldn't be ABLE to exist. Now this is some heavy philosophy right here... nyuck nyuck. So, the Tori relevance is that Tori has done drugs, and I'm sure she uses a microwave. But of course, being people of this Earthly society who currently are housed in the free Western world, we are all entitled to opinions, and I for one certainly understand Neri's opinion, though I don't necessarily agree.

I could be wrong, in the scheme of things, I dont really know what role a record label/company plays... If they have nothing to do with the above, then Meh! If they do... as I said... I hope she signs elsewhere. Merms. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2001 18:26:18 +1100 From: "Dan" Subject: [oztori] The Great OzTori Melbourne Meet! Hi Gang... Yes, calling all Melbourne OzTorians. As one of us will soon be departing, and a couple others will be visiting soon, I think we should organise the biggest meet we've had yet. My guess is that a Friday night, or a Saturday day thing would be our best bets. I want every Melbournite on this list to email me back, and tell me when is good for them, and ideas or suggestions for what we can do at the time. It'll be in the next two weeks'ish. It usually takes a while to organise this, but I say we can get it organised in a week. Let's move people! ;P Merms. ------------------------------ End of oztori-digest V1 #219 ****************************
