I have been posting, but since I'm not a spring chicken as far as the list is concerned, FL has stopped forgiving me for mailing from a different address on rare occasion. I'M SUCH A LOSER!! So this is what I had to say: Something about how the Semisonic concert in KC reminded me JUST how much I love them. Something about how happy they make me. They played two encores (five extra songs!) and a tribute to "Tafkap" (the artist...) for his 40th bidet. And on the way out of the show, in my car, I almost hit Dan (the gay model) from "Real World Miami". I'm not kidding. At first I thought it just looked like Dan (the gay model) from "Real World Miami", but my friend Julie explained to me that it was him, for sure, and that he lives next door to an exboyfriend of hers. Wow. That would be like living next door to a superhero. I also said something about how my job is killing me. And about how, Anne, I'm sorry. I started Anniepants and I don't know why. Maybe because you pant when you dream of Marcus? Just a little rumor I once heard. Spencer is a funny guy. I forget why, but I laughed. Thank you. :-) My significant other saw BFF in Pittsburgh last night at one of those huge-ol' Seventh House-Elliot Smith-Ben Folds Five-Beck shows. Apparently, Seventh House (never heard 'em) were great, and BFF was fantastic, of course, but ES sucked and all Becky did was play harmonica for an hour. They left early. It was John's first live show of the Fabulous Five. :-) I think that's in the Bible: "Bring up your boyfriend in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Setlist: Jackson Cannery Emaline Alice Childress Uncle Walter She Don't Use Jelly Air(from Godzilla Soundtrack) Boxing Brick One Angry Dwarf Song for the Dumped BIG ROCK FINISH Anything else to say? Oh yeah. From my failed post: A woman at work today told me her husband is so "unkinky" that he, and I quote, "won't even wear hats". Is this a normal "kinky" activity? Does anyone here participate in hat-wearing during sex? I asked her if she was trying to get him into a pirate hat with an eyepatch or something. She laughed. She apparently didn't know how to answer the question. Any ideas? Anyone else having trouble getting their partner into a hat in bed? I'm curious. Well, it is time to go to work. It's going to be a long day, seņores y seņoritas. Hi to all the new kids! Thanks for playing. :-) Oh, and to the redhead seeker: I suppose you're searching for male redheads, but I'm on the borderline. Mostly blonde, but often confused for what, in high school, we used to refer to as "a firecrotch"*. Take care, all. carrie *-ya know, not to imply that I'm *not*, in many ways... heh heh ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jun 1998 08:40:49 -0400 From: Kristin Klevering Subject: BFF dependency I laughed so hard when I read Stacy's introduction to the maillist, by saying she was a Ben Folds Five-aholic, because it made sense to me. So, I rounded up a DSM 4 and the psychiatrist I've been dating, and looked at the criteria for "substance dependence". We went through the list, using BFF as the substance of choice, and it's true - I have the clinical diagnosis of "Ben Folds Five Dependence"! Neither of us were surprised at that, but we found it really funny. Now if there was only a treatment program... I've turned this psychiatrist into a fan - yes! I only had to give him a tape and take him to a show. He told me at lunch that he had "Uncle Walter" running through his head all day. He talked about how he thought that the riff in "Uncle Walter" sounded a lot like "Crazy on You" from Heart. After that insight, I think I might be able to fall in love with him someday, but not yet. I first have to be able to call him my boyfriend, which I'm still not willing to do. People at my workplace just help me to feed my fandom, and it cracks me up. This 50 y/o psychiatrist that I respect and admire came up to me a few weeks ago and handed me a newspaper clipping about the BFF show at Pine Knob stating "I know you probably know about this, but I found this in the paper". I was so touched! Even my grandmother sends me clippings from the paper about BFF - she saw them play "Brick" on Jay Leno and really liked the song - she's an 83 y/o "Brickhead"! She also liked their performance at the Burt Bacharach tribute. Scary stuff, folks! Welcome to all the new fjordians - have fun! Later - Kristin ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jun 1998 09:05:41 -0400 From: Anne Lyons Subject: Egads! Hey all! Welcome everybody! (Did anyone else hear Stevie Nicks saying that (a la The Dance) when I typed it? Well, maybe not when I typed it... but as you read it anyway? Regardless (and btw, it is not 'irregardless' it is 'regardless'... so please don't use that word. I had very bad experiences with someone who said 'irregardless'...) I have the incomparable Stevie on the brain lately... so perhaps that is why I am typing in her voice.) Ummm... this is a bit [A bit, Anne? C'mon!] of an anneble... so let me restart here [sound of your computer restarting]... Welcome new members! The RF has been oh-so-fresh and tasty the past few issues! So keep up the great posts! Now, onto the meat of my post... Anniepants: HEY! Quitit! I mean it, I'm gonna tell my Mom that you guys are all making bad sexual innuendos! I SAID... Quit IT! Actually... the sexual innuendos don't bother me... it's just something about the nickname "Anniepants" that is disturbing. That and the sexual innuendos are pretty blatant... as Matthew might say... you guys need to work on your delivery a bit more. *grin* But I digress... The Beastie Boys: I believe our FL said he wanted to know the skinny on it... well, I just heard the first cut... and the Old Skool is back and back in black baby! It was phat, man! (And lest you think I think I'm cool... just to let you know, I pronounced that 'puh-hat' in my head. I am so not cool.) Getting back to the Beastie Boys... great beat... nice rap! I don't know why I dig them, but I do. And yes, E... I heard it on FNX... are you a convert, yet? Feeling the need to move east? HA! Spencer: So I'm the denmother, now, am I? For chrissakes! (And thanks, Hannah (I think it was Hannah) for that great BNL line!) Why is it that I always get nominated to be the unglamorous one? Why can't I be nominated as the Goddess of Lust or something? "Cute? Cute!? I don't want to be cute! Bunnies are cute! I want to be beautiful, and exotic!" "Well, you are... beautiful, and exotic... and cute..." [Courtesy Bull Durham] And for those of you who have Comedy Central (the station that South Park built) -- you must watch this movie! It's not one of my all-time favorites for nothing! Although they probably will have to bleep part of the "I believe" speech by Crash Davis... that is the best goddamn guy speech I have ever heard! Goddamn, I said goddamn! Where, oh where, is MY Crash? *sigh* Spencer II: Schlitz? Ahhhhh... but it wasn't around when I started drinking... But my father and his father before him both drank the stuff! so it's in the family, anyway... You can accuse me of having drunk (and become drunk on) Red, White & Blech, Ol' Swill, and Coors "where's the put the beer?" Light... but I haven't let any of those pass my lips recently. I'm strictly an Amber-to-Dark girl now... the worst that I ever drink is Bud Light... and that only if the party has run out of everything else! As to the game channel -- I *wish* I got that! But I do remember watching "Joker's Wild" on pre-cable TV when I was about 9... I remember being able to answer almost all the questions, and I wondered why some of these guys never got the right answers! And who could forget: "Joker... *Joker*... JOKER!" Jennifer: Actually, it wasn't Chaka Khan... it was Deniece Williams, as Jay was so nice to point out! See... I knew I was uncool enough to only remember her first name (at least Jay got the whole thing!). And once again, Jay: you rock me right down to a nub! Jen Relapathy: I knew that girl! *grin* That is a GREAT misheard lyric... right up there with "'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy"! Dave Foley: Did anyone catch the Conan where they cut his hair? I'm thinking that was either just before the crew cut... or they actually were cutting a hairpiece... and jsut for the record... people wear hairpieces for reasons other than thinning hair. In fact, TV/movie actors do it all the time (when a movie character needs one look, but that look would be all wrong for the tv character... i.e. Newsradio's Dave with a crew cut...) Case in point: Courtney Cox. HEr hair for Scream II (and in real life) was all red streaks and attitude... but that would NOT work for Monica Geller. So she was wearing a wig for most of the early part of last season (or the season before... I forget). And I'm pretty sure she's not going bald or gray. So no worries there (about Dave-o)... Dream: I had the wierdest dream last night... but I've rambled on enough... I may have to save that for another post! Later all! - -Anne P.S. As Denmother, I award Spencer the "Annealysis of Secrets" badge for yesterday's post and Jay the "80's Pop Culture" badge...

I loved that song. One of my friend's introduced me to it my freshman year. Oddly enough, she was a Jewish girl, I fell in love with her, but no number on the back of my hand. Anyway, Bentent. I can see the similarities between "Ariel" and "Kate," more in the lyrics than the music. Both very beautiful songs about off-beat women, along the same lines of "Mary Moon" and the less-speciic "New-Age Girl." Oh yeah, Jen Relapathy, you kick ass. You, for your first epic posting, have been rated the title of Cool Madness. Not quite up there with Cool Shit, or the Absolute Shit, but I'm sure you'll work your way up.

Well hello there I have been lurking long enough, so i finally decided to make myself known. I am AW, how do you do? Im 15 years of age. I live in the small town of Orlando, Florida. I got into The Boys about 1 year ago, a friend of mine was telling me how good this band BFF was and I went to the store and found a copt of S/T used, bought it and was hooked. I have to give props to Ralph for giving me numerous MP3's of the Boys. Also, to all the other kind people on the list for making me laugh. I'm sure my time on here will be enjoyable.

How appropriate! Now for nudity... In a minute. 1st I hafta add that I thought Jen Relapathy was Craiggers's replacement on Yo Daily. But then I heard that Robert & Puff Daddy would be alternating nights as host of the best news show on TV. So, who's Jen Relapathy again? Any relation to May Djerbordum? OK, let's get nekkid... Well, hang on, there Anniepants! Seriously, Cigarette is a beautiful, lilting, haunting piece no matter where one listens to it. NOW the shorts are droppin'! As soon as I get this KUMM outta my ear! Welcome, Thomas...you clearly fit right in! Speaking of fitting in, I was thinking about removing my outer layers of clothing to allow better Pina Colada dancing...but I can't do that yet. (GEEZ, I'm worse than a 900 #! Not that I'd know! E was tellin' me about 'em the other day & apparently, you call these 900 #s & they tell you how much they'd like to walk your dog..."I'd walk 'im all the way down the block, baby, then all the way back up...and down...and up...and down...Nnnggguuuuh! Oh God, you're dog's so huge! oops...shortest damn 900 call I've ever made-this usually doesn't happen to me, I swear...must be Spence's Viagra rubbing off on me. Spence what're you doin' rubbing Viagra on me-it's for ingestion only!) Before I get ta dancin' nekkid in mi cocina, I hafta say that E's comment about holding his Kate in his heart was 1 of the warmest, most genuinely touching things I've ever read-in earnest! (BTW, if ya can't tell when I'm jokin' & when I'm bein' serious, this last part was serious!) OK, now it's NAKED TIME (a la Dana Carvey again)...SPENCE, I do NOT dance naked to the Pina Colada Song & I resent any insinuation that I ever have! What the hell are you tryin' to do, Spencer? I've a reputation to consider on these here Files! Ya can't just go spreadin' these slanderous rumors about me. I mean, what if my Mom were to read this?! Or my girlfriend?! For the love of Christ, Man, now I've gotta try to clear my name! I repeat...I NEVER DANCE NEKKID TO THE PINA COLADA SONG!!!

(Now, this one is in the voice of the incompentent doctor on The Simpsons... what's his name again? Oh yeah... isn't it Dr. Nick? Or maybe not...) Well, I'm back again... well, not really, as this e-mail will have to wait to be sent until Ultranet fixes its core router in Massachusetts. Until then, I ahve no e-mail and no Internet connection! *Gulp* What do I do? [Anne proceeds to get up and run around in full chicken-with-the-head-cut-off fashion until she falls into her chair again.] Well... I guess I will just start composing e-mail until I can send it all in one fell swoop. And speaking of fell swoops... Why is a swoop "fell"? And if a swoop can be "fell", why isn't anything else "fell"? I mean... ahve you heard of a "fell guy" or a "fell vacation" or a "fell doughnut" or even a "fell bike stunt"? I think not! The closest is a "felled tree" and that is not exactly "fell" -- it's "felled", now, isn't it? Ummmm... can Internet outages make you crazy? So... here I am... bo-wahd* off my @ss... wanting to write to all you cool cats (it's cool for cats) out there in the virtual world... but am unable to due to Ultranet. And btw, this is the 5th outage this week -- most of them short and not as severe as the core router going down -- but this is starting to really irk** me! So here I am, twiddling my thumbs (well, I was before... now I'm typing with my fingers and hitting the space bar with my right thumb... and yes, M. and E. -- I was only twiddling my thumbs as a matter of fact!) And then I thought to myself... "Self? You there? Self!? Hellllloooooooo! Self!!!" After I answered myself that I was busy and to please leave me alone... I thought... Hey!!! I can write a l o n g annebling letter to the RF and explain my dream! So here it is: Anne's Dream: Well, to preface this... although I do have a lot of weird dreams... this one takes the cake. All I can say is that I played a lot of Mageslayer and Sanitarium this past week... so I think this has something to do with it! ###WE INTERRUPT THIS E-MAIL TO BRING YOU A SPECIAL BULLETIN### Well, it's just me interrupting myself. Well, I'm not even interrupting as much as returning to... y'see, my computer just crashed. Well, that is "just" as in "about 2 hours ago" meaning I just got back to this now. So this is a warning... never ever ever write in an e-mail that you are bored. Because your computer will get mad at you and bomb out and then refuse to find its startup disk forcing you to look for your original CD-ROM so that you can perform Disk First Aid... and then it will force you to perform all kinds of diagnostics so that you are definitely no longer bored. BUT... at least I saved this message! It would have been a shame had I lost this meaningless drivel... Oh yes, I'm sure your lives would have been a little less full had you never received this missive from Anne. But I digress... ###WE NOW RETURN YOU TO THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED DRIVEL### So ANYWAY... this dream started out as some type of adventure dream, where I was pretty much saving the world (thankyouverymuch) in full Buffy/Xena mode. Then, inexplicably, I changed into Valerie Bertinelli -- and if that isn't hard enough to explain -- I was hanging around with Mackenzie (sp?) Phillips, who was my real-life sister. And no... I did not watch One Day At a Time... actually, I have *never* watched ODAAT... I've always hated the show. So this is truly odd at this point. Anyway... we were on a double date... and the guy I was with took off because I was a virgin (!) and wouldn't "put out" (his exact words). Ms. Phillips was also a virgin, and also did not want her feller in her pants... but then this Duke Nukem character comes out of nowhere and grabs her and takes her into his cave while a bunch of guys hanging out on the beach in old cars with fins and whatnot cheer him on. Mackenzie's boyfriend follows closely yelling that he would "pop her cherry" if it was the last thing he'd do. [I have no idea where this truly execrable dialogue sprang from... it is painful to even type!]. So I go after them all Buffified. But then, as I'm crossing the stone brindge from the beach to the cave... the stones start to fall away, revealing sharp spikes underneath! I gather my energy for a Xena flip... And the alarm went off. So I have no idea whether I saved Mackenzie from a fate worse than death ******* But it was truly a VERY weird dream (tht is just the highlight of the weirdness). All I can say is: maybe 68 hours of Mageslayer/Sanitarium is a bit much. But in case you like adventure/puzzle games... I finished Sanitarium last night and it was pretty damn cool as a whole. Mageslayer was OK too... but as I got bored about halfway through and hackingly started playing in God-mode... maybe I shouldn't be the one to give a review... Getting back to the dream... I can honestly say that this is the first time******** I actually burst out laughing before my eyes were even fully open! Welp... off to do more fixing! Thanks for wading through my delirium! - -Anne *That would be "bored" to you folks not up on the Wisstah*** accent and lingo. ** That woul dbe "irk" as in "to make one peeved" as opposed to "urk" as in "to make one like Urkel". ***That would be Worcester for those folks who have never been on a wicked pissah**** weekend in Wormtown*****. **** That would be "totally aws"****** for you folks in Colorado. ***** That would be the nickname for Worcester... the second biggest city in Massachusetts. ****** That would be "very nice indeed" to Dave. ******* That would be unwillingly relinquishing her virginity... not becoming the fourth member of Wilson Phillips. ******** That would be the first time after a night of sobriety, anyway. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jun 1998 12:38:11 From: "Hannah Kuhlmann" Subject: men don't leave. . but I gotta for a day. . .

Hello fellow filers, I have come home! Man I won't even try to start reading through my backlogged RF for sometime! So I am writing in responce to nothing and with little, okay, no Bentent. California was fun, my pasty white skin reveals no signs of being in the sun, but that's because I had to have 50 proof on at all times for fear of intense freckling. The sunny state was 70 and sunny the whole time I was there. Anyone here see LA Story with Steve Martin, well if you have, remember that piece of art they are all commenting about and steve says "It's obvious she loves him, why doesn't she just kiss him!" and then you see the art and it's a purlple canvas with a stripe at the bottom? Well I saw that painting (Yes I am a freaking lover of modern art) Saw the tar pits, and for those of you in the LA area you ought to be comforted in knowing the the tar pits are bubbling through the street across from the pits and I have proof!, The picture is and eeeeerrrrie sight, but the stench was worse. Now for the celebraties.... Well didn't see as many as some I am sure. But I did (with some great connections) get to go to a benefit at Paramount Studios. It was a 70's Disco party where we got to see a directors cut of Saturday Night Fever, complete with the director!!, there was an auction of crazy stuff (like tix to MTV Movie Awards), then a fantastic open bar, with great food, a live band and a dance floor all out side under a glorious LA night! There we saw Bulldog from the show Frasier who is gay, and fans of the show know who I speak of. Then I saw the girl from Scent of a Women, the one Al Pachino dances with at that restaurant, I can't think of anything else she was in, I think Gabriel Enoir... anyway she was drunk and I couldn't tell whether she was hitting on my of my friend Rog. That night we went to a diner and in walks Beck of all people. And finally while walking down Venice Beack I run into (literally) and very pissed off looking Woody Harrelson. In all the trip was great fun, but I am glad to be back. I have to save up and go get the new BNL disk! All play and no work makes Amanda a poor kid! Take it easy! Amanda PS~ Hey Calvin, yeah you Calvin Vallender, I just read on Erik's page that you're from E. Lansing, just thought I'd say hi to a fellow rioter :)! & Eric and Kristen, no I didn't hear you yell for me :(, I was right in front of Robert though, were you guys like right next to me LOL! ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #151 *********************************
