First, I'd just like to say that I started out on the MA, and have just recently joined this list. I don't consider myself to be a "teenybopper" or any of the other names being shouted at the people on the Majical Armchair. Secondly, by sending hate mail to the Armchair. aren't you going against the very nature of what this list was supposed to be about? By this, I mean NOT BICKERING. Onto the Y-100 fest in Philly...I went about a week ago abd BFF were great. IT was pretty mych the setlist that I expected it to be, meaning Pyser, Selfless, OAD/Underground, etc., the usual songs they've been playing lately. Also an excellent rendition of SFTD. The little y-100 program thing said something that I though was cool, though a bit hypocritical: "A word to the (un)wise: if you're expecting an hour of 'Brick' prepare to have your mind blown by Ben's pounding piano." Well, I thought it was pretty neat, considering that's the only song that Y-100 plays... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Jun 1998 08:35:13 -0400 From: Anne Lyons Subject: This has got to be a quickie! Hey all! Off to a meeting in about 2 minutes, so this needs to be a quickie! But I needed to reply to Spencer: I am definitely older than you: I'm 28. And I know Markus is our age as I believe he graduated in '88 (I know this because I of the 'My Generation' thread that went on a while ago). And didn't the FL graduate in '87? And Tina, I believe is approaching the third decade. But I think the 5 of us are the elderly... I think Tina is the oldest, followed by Erik, then me, then Markus, then you... Unless someone is not sharing? = D - -Anne P.S. Can I just say... regarding some person on the MA... who the hell would read our archived messages but not join? Isn't that a bit odd??? ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 05 Jun 1998 09:51:35 -0500 From: Shara_Hoffman@hths.mcvsd.k12.nj.us (Shara Hoffman) Subject: more craziness ok, well, the kid from my school with the really long name in nicknamed ramu. it must have been hell trying to spell that in kindergarten, let alone now. we have trivia questions in our announcements for the morning sometimes, & one day the question was how many letters are actually in ramu's name. i don't think anybody knew. scott or hannah-i would love to hear the mp3 of brick w/a techno twist. i'm always in the mood for some amusement. carrie-i haven't seen "it" yet. i will rent it this weekend if i end up getting together with a bunch of friends from school at somebody's house & say, hey, this cool girl thinks our school is like this. it will be fun. i'll let you know. spencer-i didn't mean to make you feel old or anything. sorry. i think i'll borrow my uncle's cd next time i see him though. - -shara - - ______________________________________ Monmouth County Vocational School District High Technology High School P.O.

Schneider" Subject: Dreams. Okay... here's a weird one for you: I know we've all had dreams involving Ben Folds Five (though only some of us are geeky enough to admit it), but how about this-- I had a SINFOROSA dream last night. But don't freak out or anything, Markus... it's not as weird as you think. Me and my ex-girlfriend (which adds even more strangeness to the dream) were walking around in what I perceived as downtown Chicago, when we decided that we were hungry and we went to a bar to eat lunch. We were sitting there (all that I can remember eating is pretzels-- hmm, not a very nutritious lunch) when Markus' rockin' band started setting up and playing. But see (and I'm gonna get hell for this one)... the only thing you guys played were Green Day songs. Tee hee? I don't remember much more of the dream except I think the band just eventually evolved into Green Day and we left. I woke up somewhere after that, or went into a different dream, or whatever. It's all fuzzy from then on. Okay... maybe it is as weird as you think. BENtent: Hey! Have any of you guys ever heard of the band Ben Folds Five? I like them, they're neat! scott ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Jun 1998 10:09:40 From: "Hannah Kuhlmann" Subject: alright, so I'm a sap. . . hi Jaki, welcome to the world of non-anonymity. (say it out loud everyone, it's cool.) Interesting time you chose to surface, eh? Here's what *I* think. . .I think we were all getting bored on our list because there's not enough aggression, (and at the heart of it, aren't we all just dark, shaggy monkeys beating the shit out of each other with bones on a really nice sound stage?)so we all jumped at the chance to throw some spitballs at the other list. It's fun to watch though, isn't it? well, nost of it. here's the REAL reason I wanted to post. I had to totally rearrange my dorm room this week because I'm getting rid of my loft. So for the first time in seriously *months* I put on Ben Folds Five. You know the part in Alice Childress where they sing "an arranged marriage is not so good"? of course. anyway, I heard Ben say this little, half defeated but still smiling "yeah" underneath that. It's the first time I noticed it. After Ben Folds Five was done, I put in Whatever and Ever Amen. I listened to Brick, actually sat down and didn't do shit, for the first time since Christmas break. I used to occasionally just pause what I was doing and focus on Ben for a song when I had these CDs on, but now I've got 'em so memorized that I really don't do it much. It was really weird listening to the album, because now I can picture the videos for a bunch of the songs as they play, and it's been less than a year since I first heard it. When the CD got to Evaporated, I did another of my little fangirl pauses. Then I put the song on repeat while I continued to clean all my shit up. Guys, that is a good song. What I mean is that if you think about all the individual songs you know, seriously, like EVERYTHING from row row row your boat to Hey Mickey to the driving Ms. Daisy theme, Evaporated is one of the really good ones, near the top of the list. at least for me. So basically I just remembered that I love Ben Folds Five. :) - -Hannah - ------------------------------------------ Hannah Kuhlmann - kuhl0025@tc.umn.edu **FLASHY BEN FOLDS FIVE WEBSITE** AT http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/1094/ - ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Jun 1998 11:36:20 EDT From: Sandibrady@aol.com Subject: Re: The Rockford Files V1 #144 I am in good ol' Kentucky right now. Yee-haw. Anyway, yes, Frally is a yoga instructor...I learned this at the first Beck/BF5 show from my friend Roger who plays keyboards for Beck's band... At the 2nd show on the tour (Detroit- Pine Knob) they even labeled one of the doors backstage with a sign saying "Yoga Lesson 4pm Today". Thrilling I tell ya'....just thrilling. But I had to post to say that I find it interesting for Robert to say on an interview that they hang out with Beck's band a bit, but usually eat with them. They've only been on tour together since Monday for Christ's sake. What an idiot. Oooooo, how I love Robert. Have I spilled the beans on that one yet you guys? Here goes... I am truly in love with that man. His brains, his natural good looks, his uncombed hair, his determination to start an argument with me wherever I go....Ahhhh. Just makes me turn to Jello, with a capital "J". Wow...how's that for Ben-tent? Or should I say Rob-tent. So....was Erik's post saying he loves me facetious or what? Frock on!

Oh the satisfaction I get out of feeling superior to those troglodytes (woohoo, that word of the day calendar sure is paying off, boy!)." Well, Court, another word you should be using is "Tee-Hee!" Carrie wrote: "I guess I'm only happy giving dumb kids hell when it's to their faces and I can watch them say, '....huh'?" Sweet Bubbles, this is exactly the response we've been getting-1 big, exasperated, inane, confused "HUH?!" & from the usual suspects, too, such as that infamous little prick, BRAD654. He's bitchin' about us wasting his precious time (for whackin' off!), & yet feels compelled to respond directly to us (me, Matt, & Erik, anyway) w/long-winded (of course!), self-righteous, whingin' little diatribes! Too Goddamned Funny!!! I wanted to hit it & quit it, but in Spencer's words, it's just too rich-we're framin' OJ (in Dana Carvey-speak)! She went on to write: "I also think that acquiring a taste for Markusian humor tends to ruin you for the regular kind." God, I hope so! If by "regular" humor you mean anything along the lines of Good Burger or Tim Allen, then ruin you I shall!!! Anne wrote: "I am as giddy as a schoolgirl!" Schoolgirl?! We're not buyin' it, Annie Pants! Schoolgirl=young, innocent, sweet, Winsome (nice capitalization-get it, Anne?), & gullible. Not you on any count (though you are nearly sweet, you're usually quite salty:-))! She goes on (and on): "Have you perchance found someone who... Heats your waffle iron? Greases your bike chain? Laces your sneakers? Double-clicks your mouse? Installs your air conditioning unit? Jettisons your cargo? Sinks your putt? Knits your afghan? Rakes your lawn? Recites your alphabet? Shifts your gears? Dials your phone? Waters your plants? Reformats your disks?" Anne, you kick much arse! That's all I'm sayin'! (A gentleman never speaks intimately:-)-unless we're asked really nicely to do so!) Spencer wrote: "Do I hold the honor of oldest Filer at the young tender age of 27?" Gotcha beat, ya young feck! I'm 28, but I remember there being someone yet older still, no?! And he wrote: "The most beautiful part was the almost Pavlovian response of the reactionary immature peanut gallery that made everyone leave the MA in the first place. Don't they realize that they're the damn punch line of the joke?" THAT'S EXACTLY IT!!! It's like Andy Kauffman & Memphis, TN-they are the damn punch line & the more they overreact, the funnier it is!!! Well, if any of you were worried by Marie Buckman's post on the Arsechair, don't be. Those of us who have briefly invaded haven't done so because we're bored here. We know where our home turf is & we love you all!!! Oh, and Scott, I understand your dilemma & you're a fine man for having it. Perhaps this has been a wee tad bit mean, but it sure has been a piss up! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Jun 1998 09:05:22 -0700 From: "Kamp, Marcus S" Subject: And Another Thing Deke, you are 1 damned funny man! ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 05 Jun 1998 11:38:06 -0600 From: "Erik C. Lyons" Subject: You Talkin' to *ME*?!? yeah, I thought not. oops. I thought I was on the MA(major arses). It was just a bad dream. So, we here on the RF, us Fjordians, infiltrated the ma and left behind a memory which legends are made of. I would like to point out to the whole of the Files that our posts to the ma were no different than the others we USED to make, so I think collectively we feel no shame or remorse. We simply received the response which drove your resourceful FL to start the files in the first place. Glory to Rockford in the Highest. For you alone rub us to nubs. I am scared to see how many people (try) and set their VCR's for June 31. "why won't this program? MOM! The VCR is broke!" Whew. I think I fell out of my chair. And, for those still reading the ma, didja catch jessica (from Sandi's school) post the EXACT same date as me? Talk about being on the same wavelength...If I really put any thought into it I would probably pass out from think of the possibility of her and I to think of the same date and post it in the same digest. I swear on the life of the soon-2-b ben folds five fan (Kate Anne) that we didn't talk about it beforehand. 2 funny. I think I better read the Celestine Prophecy again...oh yeah, I can't seem to put down that American Psycho... Steely Dan-bent: 'Tis true. Your FL is indeed 29. I think what I meant was, "I wish I was the age I am now when Dan was at their best." You know, who *wouldn't* wish there were dropping acid and getting stoned (I didn't inhale, I swear) while dancing in the haze of the music which seems clear as day to you! Really! Somebody from the ma emailed me and told me there were no words to Dick Holster. I must have a defective CD. Shyte. Did someone say BEER?? Oh, not for another hour. Damn. *foaming at the mouth* Sandi: Of course I love you! Please. You know that. Never question the love of another fjordian. Kentucky? Hey, that isn't on the way to Alaska. Someone fed me some bad info. Stupid junkies. BTW, Markus is SOOOO right about why we posted to the ma. We weren't bored at all with the files. The files are just so right. We merely showed our inclination toward niceness by granting the request of someone to inject some excitement in an otherwise dull environment. I think it worked. We so nice. Love you long time. So, *who's* your daddy??? - -fl ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 06 Jun 1998 00:09:20 PDT From: "Courtney Knopf" Subject: i need Annealyzing! wow, i was way more sassy and whorelike than i intended to be to the MA today, i guess that's what i get for writing late night email. oh well. So anyway I was watching teh MTV Movie awards last night and was moderately shocked/annoyed that Carson Daly from MTV went with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Just because I don't like her, and think Carson is a hottei, if not dumb as a box of hammers. Anyway, this spawned a VERY bizarre dream last night. I dreamed that Carson and "Love" (as she likes to be called) got married secretly. And apparently my roommate and I were good freinds with her. And they came over to our appartment. but it was much nicer than our apartment (a big comfy black leather couch and a huge stereo system) and "Love" crashed on our sofa, and then for some reason carson needed to borrow some of my clothes, but when i got to my closet, all my clothes were on the floor adn I'm thnking, how the hell will he fit into my pants? And...yeha. then I woke up. So Anne, tell me....am I crazy? So I had a job interview toaday. With a market research company. If I get the job I'd be showing people movie trailers and asking their opinions abotu them.That seems to me as if iut's the perfect job for a Cinema major. Not to mention I'd be making $8-$12/hr. So booyah. I find out on monday. Well...I don't even have cleverly disguised Bentent today.
