Hey there I'm off! Erik, man.... Ben & JLC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 3 Apr 1998 08:47:29 -0500 From: Anne Lyons Subject: The vibe has officially returned! Hey all! Personally, I think that funfunfun vibe has returned to the Files! Yippee-ki-yay and all that! Carrie: Rockfjordian is just an inspired and inspiring word! You rock! Also congrats on the alto-spewing gig! You get moolah and recognition for doing something you love... how cool is that! Lauren: I love that line too... as well as "It's possible... Pig." Erik: So glad you are happy about the Cubbies. I hope they keep up the good play for your sake! I guess I'm just a great big Eeyore... but us folks here near Boston have that image of Buckner's faux pas (isn't that such a nice way of saying it?) indelibly printed on our brains. It brought true meaning to "it ain't over 'til it's over" *sigh* Matthew: Are you incredibly happy that baseball has begun again? Is it renewing your spirit? Kel: "Annebling" was coined by a guy I knew in high school, along with "You're Anneing Me" (like the Tom Petty song "You're Jamming Me"). We've been using it here on the Fjord as well. Markus also coined a couple of other terms (well, I think it was Markus, but it might have been Tina come to think of it...). A Lyonesque post is one that Annebles on and on... and "Shman, She Ain't No Man" was just something Markus came up with -- I really can't remember why... And of course, our FL coined the term Kampatoid, referring to a Markus-like existence. Brer: I used to love playing 7 Up... and I always wanted it to be Jim "Duck" Lowe who touched my thumb... but alas, he never went for me. Although he did end up marrying an Anne... the beauteous Anne Despotopolous. Of course, I got over Duck in the 7th grade when I fell hard for Scott Grady... *sigh* reminiscing about the olden days makes me realize... how freakin' happy I am that I am not going through junior high school again! The taunting and backstabbing and puberty and the use of the phrase A-doi? Thank God that time is past! = D Erik: About your dream... so Ben was taunting you with his musical genius? Hmmmmm... have you been feeling down lately? Like you are missing your calling in life, and are just going through the motions? The dream may have something to do with you feeling like you need to be someplace where you can take advantage of your talents... where you can really shine... or you hit your local DQ and had a Buster Bar a little too close to lights out! Let me see, what else? Oh yeah... I'M %^@*$#& PISSED OFF AS ALL GET OUT! "Why?" you ask. Well, I shall tell you, O gentle reader. Because the Foxboro date for BFF/Beck/DMB was announced jsut a few days ago (officially). And apparently the tickets went on sale for all of 30 seconds. Yup. The show is SOLD OUT. And Anne has no ticket. Which, in case you are slow on the uptake, sucks. So now I'm going to have to try to win tickets. At least I listen to the sponsoring station... so perhaps, just perhaps, I will be able to get myself there. *sigh* So I don't have that going for me... which isn't nice at all. But fear not, O gentle reader, I will limit myself to only one whining session. And you just finished wallowing in it. No more from me on that subject. So that's all for today! Hope y'all have a great weekend! - -Anne ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 03 Apr 1998 09:12:13 -0500 From: Carrie Subject: Hey there I love it when Shara posts because at the bottom it says "High Technology High School," which, for some reason, reminds me of "Rock Rock, Rock and Roll High School!" (the worst film in the history of the planet) Anne makes me so happy. Oh Anne, my one Anne only you! As far as getting tickets from the radio station goes, sexual favors often work for me*. Just a word from the wise. Well, I don't really have any Bentent right now. I just woke up. I wish I had some coffee. I wish I had some breakfast. If I could put time in a bottle... Take care, kooky froods. My roommate's outta town this weekend, and you know what that means... it's NAKED TIME!!! Brought to you by the letter "F," Carrie * - joke ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Apr 1998 09:39:57 EST From: Lennonita Subject: I'm off! To Jolly Old England...where I will pick up mad amounts of Radiohead and Ben Folds Five singles! Joy! I just thought I'd let everyone know. I'll be gone until the 11th. If anyone has any more epiphany-like revelations about coming here for ConBENtion 1.5 (it's not really a full ConBENtion II), go ahead and discuss. Happy Spring, everyone!

I mean, first you bad mouth the Wolverines, then you have to go and back the Cubs, too? Are you trying to make me lose respect for you completely? I'm a born and bred South Side boy. I'll give the Cubs the fact that they have the coolest announcer in history (I still remember judging Cubs games by how drunk Harry was in the third inning.) but other than that, the team's a washout. Oh, yeah, I guess I should put some Bentent on here too. Well, I don't dream (or I don't remember my dreams) so no trippy stories about Ben and the Plaid Bunny any time soon. (If you want to know the story behind the Plaid Bunny, e-mail me personally, and I'll tell you. It's demented.) I have, however, started converting my friends to the COF, so the population is growing. I'm thinking about joining it with my friend's cult, the Church of Unrequited Love, of which I'm a Deacon. Anyway, that's it for me. Hail Eris! Laters.

They're one of the best bands to come around in a while. I've you're not familiar with them, then you should definitely check em out. - --- "Reality, it's not for me, and it makes me laugh..." -The Beach Boys, 1971 Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #74 ********************************
