I tried to get in all day yesterday (intermittantly) and couldn't connect. Has this place been down? My ISP got hacked and had to rebuild their server. Seems that some cybervandal has figured out how to crack their security.

Perhaps some of you poets could compose some high koo or such about hacking servers.

I wanted to type this in textarea, but couldn't find the font.

I'm trying to figure out how the "I've Got A Riddle" quesion got re- generated....

Maybe helen knows. After all, it was her show that got cancelled after she showed all to Mike the mule.

Helen also posted on a homesteading forum about that mule but neglected to mention any past indescrishions. Yes Helen, the shadow knows....

I didn't regenerate that thread! Some military guy made a point of resurrecting what appears to be a failure on my part, although I don't remember it. I'm still trying to figure out the cannonball thingy.

I found a job to apply for in your town, Robert. That's all the warning you're gonna git.

-- helen (slinging@hash.is.a.universal.occupation), July 21, 2001.

Sic 'em Robert! Came the battle cry as the pack sensed freedom from female domination. The oppressed males were turning the tide and breaking out of bondage as the female pack leader faultered, realizing that her bluff was called and she would soon see herself returning to lowley scrub woman, on hands and knees with a brush and pail of sudzy water, as women were ment to be. Fear not; for we shall overcome this band of she devils and put things back to right order. Might makes right! Herd them back into their destany's and remember to put five dots behind your posts so that our brothers will know that anything after that is the work of the evil she posters; foolishly I forgot that our goddesses are also able to alter dots as well as to clean up our misconceptions. Gosh, I wish our sysops darlings loved me as much as they love their pets!
