Re: The Rockford Files V1 #233 Blind dates with sword fighters No.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 03 Sep 1998 00:33:05 -0700 From: Stacy Lynn Subject: Ben dream Hey people. I was just wondering if any of you might be able to disect this dream I had a while ago, back in June. The dream....... At the end of this little used street was a club... it was a swing club, and mainly had swing bands come play. Well, I found myself there, and I was looking at the list of bands playing, and I saw BFF listed... not once, but 2 times in one night. They were going to play a set of ragtime music, and then a set of regular music. I was thougholy surprised, first of all that I didn't know about this ahead of time, and second of all because they were playing 2 sets at this little known club. So I decide to go in. But, see, it was a bar on the inside. And there was a room, like an entry way, and then the actual bar where the band was. So, I'm peaking in, and afriad to go in because I am only 20 and all... but my dad was with me, and he said go in and see if there is an empty chair and just take it. So, I go in. They are playing Tom and Mary, sort of... but more variations and without the lyrics. I see an empty stool, and I ask if it is taken. It is. The bar isn't that crowded, and though everyone is watching, no one seems particularly interested. No one is talking, and no one is smiling or seeming to be havnig a good time. I notice someone standing up in front of the stage, but back in the back of the crowd. He is alone. And he seems suspicious. And I get a feeling, a gut feeling something very bad is about to happen. I go and tell my dad who was waiting for me outside. He gets out a gun and hands it to me. Then he gets out one for himself. And we go in. Sure enough, the lone man has a gun. He is going to shoot My Boys. I try to push the hammer down, youi know, so I can shoot the gun, but it is sooooo hard, finally I get it though. But the bad guy hears me, and he turns around, I fire, but the gun is so heavy and it misses, and hits the ground near his feet. he is on to me. I have to do something. I fire again. Again, I miss. It goes into the crowd and doesn't hit anyone fortunatly. It is odd, no one freaks out, screams, runs... they all seem very uninterested, nonchalant... nursing their beers... The bad guy runs into a hallway where the bathrooms are. He comes back with a rifle. He points it at me. This is it. I'm going to die. One chance. I have one shot before he turns the gun onme, and then Ben. I point the gun at him. I get it ready, and am so unsure of my aim, so I take a step or 2 closer. and I shoot. I hit him in the heart. he dies. And I fall over, I faint. my back hurts, and I sob. Darren walks by. I say "I just saved your life." "I know, thanks!" "Darren, I love you." "Wow, thanks" "No really, and I have for a couple of years now. Way before Brick!" And he smiles, and keeps walking. And I sob. And I wake up. The end. What does it all mean? Stacy Cuz everyones my friend in New York City And evertything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty The streets are paved with diamonds And there's just so much to see But the best thing about New York City is you and me. --They Might Be Giants "New York City" http://www.u.arizona.edu/~stacyf icq #7641939 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 3 Sep 1998 08:16:31 -0400 (EDT) From: Eric Patton Subject: It was the 3rd of September.... That day I'll always remember, Yes I will. 'Cause that was the day That my Daddy died.... Had to bust out with the old school for this immortalized day in time. ;) Anyway, since I don't have much to say, I'll just give my love advice for the week. Guys, everyone should have a lesbian friend, but don't fall for them. My favorite little lesbian girl is my buddy Gina, and I'm starting to get a crush on her big time. Ah well, it's not the first time I've done something romantically stupid and everything carbon-based knows that it won't be the last time. ;) Anyway, love, peace, and hair grease. Hail Eris!

You must be one fine looking fellow to produce such beautiful offspring. I checked out the pictures of little Kate and she is one cute baby. What is the RF's collective opinion on blind dates? My friend wanted to set me up on one but I chickened out after she met the guy and reported back with a lackluster, "He's a nice guy." (no other details at all!) My idea is that even if she said that she thought he was perfect for me, he wouldn't have been perfect since she doesn't know every little thing I want in a guy. So when all I got was "nice guy" I got worried that I wouldn't have much in common with him. He's a fencer, which is kind of romantic, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on fancy Japanese food to be miserable all night with this guy. Especially since, when I am miserable you can read it all over my face. The only other thing I have to say is MORE POSTS FROM SPENCER. ~Jen ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Sep 1998 00:58:18 EDT From: HndOfChaos@aol.com Subject: No.... Somebody back me up on this one? I mean, do I have a defective KATE single or what? That conversation junk with the "bullshitting you motherstuff..." goes at the end of Bad Idea (demo) not For All the Pretty People! Nyeh! For some reason Track 2...that is, Bad Idea (demo) is 2:50 long...on my KATE single. Why is this on no one else's? Jess, you simply *must* read The Monument by Gary Paulsen! That's all...That and I want Fear of Pop really really really bad. ~Kathryn ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #234 *********************************
