Rumor has it that Vintage Computer Festival may have mentioned these words:
<MODE="TongueInCheek">
Dude...
Take a slow, long breath... in... out... ahh... now don't you feel better? ;-)

(Or is it that you haven't had your morning coffee/tea/beer yet?)

>The whole discussion is ridiculous, if not entirely futile....
That was my point. If you didn't notice, I was on *your* side, bud! (maybe
I didn't make it fully clear, if that's the case, I apologize!)
>When will this entirely way too priggish society we live in get over

If I'm allowed to /assume/ yet again, probably never. Which is sad, indeed.
>He was shocked--shocked!--that the curse word was

Did he mention anything about how we treat a Playboy book? In a brown or
blue wrapper in the top shelf behind everything else so you can't see
anything other than the title?
Compare that to the German lifestyle where they're considered "coffee-table
reading" for lack of a better term...
>I am too!

Me Too!

If she does, I'm in *big* trouble, as she's either back from the dead, or I
*am* dead[1]... Either way, I'd have a lot bigger problems than a sudsy belch!
Laterz, bud...

in Heaven, I'll guarantee you she's there. However, if I do go to Hell, it
won't be so bad... I'll be able to visit most of my friends!
