Will someone here plese give me some background on the King of Spain?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Dear Forum Members,

I've never met anyone like King of Spain before. Does he ever have a serious conversation with a female? I suspect he might be intelligent, but I don't have time this week to go back and read his posts. Can anyone give me a one-sentence description of this character?

Sincerely,

-- Laura (Ladylogic46@aol.com), November 13, 1999

A halloween present just for KOS.

They awaited his return. Patiently at first, then less so as summer came and the relentless sun baked the wet earth which enveloped them into a fractured collage of tan. Several small ones having sought shelter in the shade of the larger sow, slept. For now, dreams of hope consumed the fear of their inescapable fate. Hope that KOS would again return for one more scuffle. One more, before the summer paled to the cold-blooded chill of autumn and their gruesome appointment with the slaughterhouse executioner.

Laura, meet Mr. Mudwrestling.

KoS, meet Laura.

I hope you make much slop together.

Can't vouch for his experience or veracity. I have it on good authority that he has an interest in mud wrestling.

He's a real ladies man. He watched mudwrestling one time and it really turned him on. That's all he thinks about. A one track mind of mudwrestling. His hot tub is full of mud. His living room is full of mud. He sleeps in a mudbath. His toilet is full of mud when he gets done.

You never met a horny guy who wants to get laid before??

Where the hell have you been hiding girl?!!

I'm sure he'd be willing to settle down long enough to have a serious conversation with you, but you'll have to answer one question first...

I'll leave that part up to the King himself.

Laura,

I am not certain about the individual to whom you refer. He (or she) has made several attempts to ascertain my sexual preferences, and I am suspicious of his (her) motives. I have endeavored to politely express to him (her) that I am unavailable for a relationship at present, and, in their particular case, from what I have read, will likely remain so for the foreseeable future.

He (she) has offended at least one person to the extent that they will not likely return to the forum. From the few correspondences I shared with the insulted party, I believe their experience with "the King" actually made them reconsider their side of the debate; and perhaps their preparations as well. Personally, I do not believe the actions of one person - however malicious or insulting they are perceived to be - to be a good reason to abandon a philosophy.

Concerned Regards,
Andy Ray



-- Andy Ray (andyman633@hotmail.com), November 13, 1999.

Believe me about one thing, Laura, KoS NEVER asked Andy Ray to mud wrestle. KoS is, let's face it, the King. Of Spain, that is.

-- Mara (MaraWayne@aol.com), November 13, 1999.

I think he's strange. Doesn't everyone know that oil wrestling is the best?!?! <:)=

-- Sysman (y2kboard@yahoo.com), November 13, 1999.

KoS is an intelligent, sensitive, thoughful, passionate, caring, honest guy who would give any lady the mud off his back.

-- helen (sstaten@fullnet.net), November 13, 1999.

Laura, the guy's a BUM, I tell you. (IOW, he has never propositioned me, and I have pouted ever since.) Mind you, I am far too responsible a gardener to mess around in dirt that is too wet. I might, however, consider flailing around in a good chocolate sauce. He need only ask.

-- Brooks (brooksbie@hotmail.com), November 13, 1999.


King of Spain is a reminder that there is life after Y2K. He is consistant in his welcoming remarks to all female posters (...do you like to mud wrestle?), and apparently has a great appreciation for the female form. He always makes me laugh and that counts a lot in these serious times amidst these serious discussions. He occasionally has his grouchy moments, but don't we all. He appears to be intelligent and has a fine mind for sarcasm. If one is offended by his persistant pursuit of mud wrestling, one need only skip his posts.

-- Casey DeFranco (caseyd@silcom.com), November 13, 1999.

Well I CAN vouch for his experience and veracity. They both SUCK!

And he's funny as hell. :)

-- a (a@a.a), November 13, 1999.


Laura--He was just kidding with you. King of Spain has added a great deal of good information to this forumn. He says that to all the ladies. I have been lurking on this board since Nov 1998.

-- Bill (sticky@2sides.tape), November 13, 1999.

His Majesty is aware that I have stashed copious quantities of freeze-dried mud in the hope that he will bug out at Chez Old Git. The respect and admiration I feel for the King is exceeded only by the respect and admiration he feels for himself. If one has been asked to mudwrestle by His Majesty, in the words of one, Flora, one "has arrived."

-- Old Git (anon@spamproblems.com), November 13, 1999.

This is not my real email address because King of Spain tried to hit on me privately once. He's a pervert I tell ya... a real pervert.

-- (Galled@aol.org), November 13, 1999.


Go find your OWN royalty, Laura. There's just only so much of the man to go around.

King of Spain voted Best Troll Stomper on the Forum.

Yes, you GO King, a muddy smooch ta ya! *Applauding*

-- a secret admirer (muddy@caped.knight), November 13, 1999.


His biggest turn-on is getting in the mud with 2 glistening angry women. Hoooo boy, watch out.

-- KoS catfights (fur@flies.flurry), November 13, 1999.

I think that all of us were astounded when Dr. Paula Gordon quoted His Majesty in part 6 of her "Y2K and the Embedded Systems Crisis" series (including his rather unusual e-mail address).

Laura, you are kidding, right? Surely you have had a "hey, baby" come on before. The mud wrestling question is kinda like "do you like oranges?"

Best I can tell, being asked to wrestle in the mud is a female right of passage on this forum.

He'll hate me for saying this, but if you pay attention to his posts, there is an intelligent, nice man under the mud wrestling suggestion who is probably a married accountant living in the burbs with 2.5 kids and a golden retriever.

I usually return the salvo by offering to bring a bucket of dirt, jug of water and a plastic sheet....

His Majesty is the modern day torch-bearer for the vision of the human condition in the vein of his fellow countrymen Bunuel, Dali, and Picasso.

-- flora (***@__._), November 13, 1999.


I adore the KOS and I'd be glad to make him fudge brownies from my storage supplies anytime! He's always polite, even when he asks women to mudwrestle, and he frequently makes me laugh at his comments. The one time I suggested he was being a bit too harsh on his fellow site buddies, he basically apologized and said he would try to back off a little. KOS rules! (Thank God he's never asked me to mudwrestle, I hate to get dirty...)

Long live the King. Take no offense from his remarks. I thought it was creepy the first time I read him asking about mudwrestling, but now it is something of a comfort.

Stick with us, Laura, in spite of our odd characters. (Or because of them!)

-- semper paratus (always@ready.now), November 13, 1999.


I suspect that after the rollover, mud wrestling may be the only entertainment available. He may be ahead of the times.

I LOVE the King of Spain! I once asked him if he would Jell-O wrestle with me, because I kinda like him myself, but I don't like mud.

He never answered me. I don't know if it is because he couldn't tell from my name if I am male or female (I am of the female persuasion) or if it is because he doesn't like Jell-O.

I think it is because he doesn't like Jell-O.

KOS? You out there? Is it a date? ;-)

Hee hee.

-- preparing (preparing@home.com), November 13, 1999.


Laura,

KOS is a bit "odd" but consistent.

Andy Ray however, qualifies on "just this side of trollish behavior." Upon more than one occasion he's crossed that line.

He's also not particularly "fond" of any of us... but as a card- carrying "polly" keeps posting and agitating here anyway.

Go figure.

Madrid, New Mexico, right?

KoS may be a lech, but he's OUR lech. Like most of us humans, has his faults but has redeeming qualities as well. He has contributed much of worth to this board.

p.s. KoS: ;-*

-- mommacarestx (nospam@thanks.net), November 13, 1999.


KoS? You love him, you hate him, you can't live without him...lol

Incredible. The poor guy pounces on every female that posts and gets no action. Now he's finally got one that's interested in him, and he's nowhere to be found! Such is life.

-- Hawk (flyin@high.again), November 13, 1999.

Gawd, if I am ever put on trial for some heinous crime, I'll know where to look for some character witnesses! Thanks to (almost) one and all.

-- King of Spain (madrid@aol.cum), November 14, 1999.

Hawk: Do YOU Jell-O wrestle?

;-)

And make that TWO women that are interested in KOS...me and Laura.

And ONE that is interested in you, as well! (wink wink)

-- preparing (preparing@home.com), November 14, 1999.


Shucks! I've got more mud and chocolate than anybody and he's never asked me to mudwrestle. Guess I'll just have to eat chocolate chip cookies and drink dehydrated milk by myself.

-- Sharon L (sharonl@volcano.net), November 14, 1999.

KOS... you made it! Looks like Laura here is waiting for you to pop "the question." (PS... if she doesn't like mud, try anything)

-- Hawk (flyin@high.again), November 14, 1999.

Yowsa, Yowsa, Yowsa! Preparing... you just name your flavor you slippery thing! We might have to find something that doesn't melt though, so it will last a real loooong time. "Wrestling" can be a very "hot" sport, if you know what I mean!

-- Hawk (flyin@high.again), November 14, 1999.

The Madrid Fault?

Shouldn't that be The *Nude* Madrid Fault?

-- Ron Schwarz (rs@clubvb.com.delete.this), November 14, 1999.


King of Spain, love him or hate him, he is a good lesson.

If you can't tolerate differences pre-y2k, you will have a tough row to hoe post-y2k.

Ah, but all differences of opinion could be put to rest in the mud, with a handshake, congratualations and freash towel for all involved, what a safer world we would have.

-- Lilly (homesteader145@yahoo.com), November 14, 1999.


Colleagues,

Thank you very much for your responses. You have convinced me that he is harmless.

King,

Your coterie serves you well. This tells me you are a benign/benevolent ruler.

Hail the King! (I just curtseyed)

Ahem.....His reign in Spain was mainly on the plain.
