It is good to see that Oprah was sticking with her high standards and providing honest and straitforward information from people who know what they are talking about.

Karen should try for the Jerry Springer show where she would fit in perfectly.

"Peace in our time" -Chamberlain

"I drank what" -Socrates

"Incredible! The Germans will never come through Belgium twice in the same century" -Maginot

"I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky" -Clinton

"I am not a crook" -Nixon

Yes, Cherri these people knew what they were talking about as well. That lobotamy the Air force gave you when you enlisted has sure paid off. Never, ever question authority.

That box is just to comforting isn't it.

c4i, in case your massive network of military intelligence has not already informed you as to the nature of Cherri, let me be the first to clue you in: She is the model of a ditsy nitwit that all blonde jokes try to emulate.

After watching the tape last night, it was obvious to me that Oprah did not produce that show. All the snazzy graphics, zooming numbers and stock footage obviously came from someone else. Think I'll watch it again and look closely for dates on computer screens. I'll Bet alot of that footage was shot months ago.

Who is behind the curtain?

The Highland Group certainly. The Rendons, probably. It had that election year docuadvertisement feel about it.

c4i, what have you heard about The Rotterdam Report?

KOS: It's a commonly known fact amongst software engineers that there are no real women on the internet, just FBI agents entrapping Disney execs and guys called "Chad" who work out lots. I'm guessing that Cherri looks something like this:

Sysops,

KoS said above

>>She [Cherri] is the model of a ditsy nitwit that all blonde jokes try to emulate.<<

Since this post breaches forum guidelines I request that it be deleted. Fair's fair.

You knowwho has a fair point about C4i's post as well. What, exactly, does it contribute to the debate?

-- zzzzzzzzz (z@z.z), November 30, 1999.


Noone, Pessimistic is too pessimistic, we prefer morose.

We are going to screw the pooch because of embeddeds, and oil is our number one concern.

KoS, we know Cherri is a nitwit, we don't recall you propositioning her to a "mud-fest."

As for Oprah, we can remember when she was a lacky on WJZ in Baltimore. Nothing but nice-nice on her show, someone stated earlier how computers don't feel. They don't reason either GIGO.

-- c4i (c4ixxx@hotmail.com), November 30, 1999.


Colin, is that the "leatherman" that they're always talking about on the prep forum? Certainly looks like quite a tool. :~)

Hey C4i, you forgot one of the most famous military quotes of all time

"Now, Just where in the f*ck did all these indians come from?"

General George Armstrong Custer

-- Billy Boy (Rakkasan101st@aol.com), November 30, 1999.


And here's the official confirmation that c4i is indeed graciously dusting TB2K with insider .mil intel, albeit read-between-the-lines and scramble for your military dictionary :-) Thanks! So you haven't gone Yardeni, Doprah, or DeJaggert yet. 31 days until blastoff. The military, FEMA, locals are all stretched too thin. Not enough trained authorities to draw a line in the sand. Who is going to save the weeples?

-- Ashton & Leska in Cascadia (allaha@earthlink.net), November 30, 1999.

Now that's the c4i I'm used to.

;-D

Johnny,

I'm in a quandry. Cherri IS ditzy... and a total nitwit. The comment is truthful, does not cross the line into the profane, so guess we'll just have to let it stand.

Sorry.
