That's right, Anoop, you are now (or soon to be, or whatever) the somewhat proud owner of the most booty-fabulous mix tape I've ever made, the Dan Tape, volume 1! Be the envy of your friends, neighbors, and teachers as you cruise the halls of your local inner-city high school, ghetto blaster in hand, merrily cranking out the fly, bad-ass music that makes the Dan Cohen Experience so wuvwy. Amaze your enemies with my kickin' beats! Even as they're preparing to cut yo' scrawny ass for some math homework or lunch money or whatever, the howlin' jungle rhythms will make them dance like some obscure Disneyland exhibit and worship and respect you, Anoop, as their new Emperor of Soul. What does this prove? Mainly that your only purpose at 1:33 am is to fill in lyrics to Dr. Dre songs. Even though you didn't spell dyke right, I'll give you credit. (note for all the kiddies scoring at home: Anoop actually said yo' momma was part of a flood-control system, a raised earthen wall common in the Netherlands in fact, rather than successfully complete the jimmy joke. But who's splitting hairs?) ~Dan ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Sep 1998 11:58:45 -0400 From: "Lyons, Anne" Subject: It ain't easy, living like a gypsy... I'll tell ya honey how it feels I've been dreaming Floatin' down the stream and Losin' touch with all that's real Hey all! Well, obviously I made it home OK on Friday after my afternoon of debauchery. And for those of you who were worried... never fear... I waited until the buzz died down before starting my car. It was stop and go traffic the whole way anyway, so I was fairly free from worry. Actually, I hope y'all were as amused as I was when I read that post today in the RF! I think I tried to type just a wee bit too fast for my mental capacity... And apologies to Spence and Jordan for forgetting that they had entered the hallowed halls of the Drunken Fjord (which is, by the way, what I will name the schooner that I buy when I win the lottery) Matthew: I'm curious -- will you refer to your cats by number or by attribute? Or will you just refer to each one of them as 'hemingway' without a modifier? Or will they go unnoticed at all, as you stomp around the house whispering "s'oktplaywidolls"? *grin* Random: I just finished a delicious Delicious apple! Can I tell you how excited I am that apple season is upon us? Mmmmmmmmmm MM! I think I need to go apple pickin' this year. There's just something about eating an apple right off the branch... Baseball: Hmmmmm... have we expanded too much? I'm not sure... but I think I sort of agree with Matthew that the expansion has been to the detriment of pitchers. But another contributing factor to the dearth of amazing pitchers is early burnout... amazing hitters are not as prone to serious injury as pitchers. Too often, hurlers sustain repetitive use injuries in their elbows and shoulders and wrists -- especially if they are encouraged to throw a lot of junk early on in their careers (read: Little League, Babe Ruth League and high school). Hello tendonitis... goodbye baseball greatness... That said... let's not forget that David Wells had the 13th perfect game (in modern major league history) this season... Spence: All of us wonderful women have congregated right here at the RF for you! I propose that we have a singles night for Fjordians at the next BENcon (after the co-ed softball game, Matthew... and I, too, will let your equipment list pass without comment). The married folk will chaperone... my God! Is that just me and Erik? Screw it, then... it'll be a masked singles night... that way E and I can join in! *grin* Jay: You've posted twice and I've been negligent in sending you e-mail! Don't hold it against me though... keep posting! RFRW wrap-up: Well, it's finally happened -- MTV's Real World wet dream... one member of the cast is impregnated by another... and even better... she's not sure of the father! Tune in next week to find out the possible identities of the parents-to-be... Welp. That shall be quite enough bavardage for today. Later! - -Anne Keep in touch with Mama Kin...

The only American track superstar immortalized by Sir Mix-A-Lot! Let's all mourn her untimely passing with a line from "Baby Got Back"... First one to correctly cite it, you know the dish. I got the Gina tape today, finally. Quite bootylicious if I do say so. Thumbs up, although you stole "Black" off MY tape...grrr... BIG news on the Olivia front...I now am the sole non-exchange student possessor of her number :) I am also the only non-exchange in her book. I am ecstatic but in traditional man mode, I won't call. Yet. I'm seriously considering asking her out this weekend. I didn't make Casting Hall (the school play) for the first time in three years. I'm stunned and shocked, considering I'm the only male in the clique who usually gets all the leads who didn't even get a role. But it's all cool since I'll do "Me and My Girl" in a community theater production instead. Expect many a story. Matthew, sorry, but for one it's "Frisco", not "fresh cold", and two, Anoop already got it. Speaking of which, Anoop, I need your address. I do believe I'm mailing tapes this weekend. Anyone else who wants a copy, same story. Sorry for the shortitude and crap, but, hey, Flo-Jo died. I'm crushed. "Como te llamas? My llama's name is Diego, baby!" ~Dan "Any time a man looks at your chest, look at his pants. It freaks 'em out."

Courtney - your show is on too late for me to hear on the east coast, and I'm sad about that, but I'm really digging the station, nonetheless. Thanks for the tip, and RealPlayer rules! Later - Kristin ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Sep 1998 01:50:48 -0400 From: Kristin Klevering Subject: Sorry I got confused with KAMP and KSCR, sorry Courtney. I don't remember who posted about KAMP, but I've been digging it nonetheless. Does KSCR have a RealAudio link? Let me know. Sorry about the confusion - Kristin ------------------------------ End of The Rockford Files V1 #252 *********************************
