Laura,

Don't forget the Mac Operating System!

(Although it gives me trouble on the chat room. But I'll see you there anyway.)

Maybe the hydrological system?

(Naw, semper, I'm too busy to chat anymore, however, I have enjoyed your company.)

The Solar System, and I don't mean alternative energy!

The human body's neural system, circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system, et cetera...

Why it's the tilting-barrel locking breech system of my trusty Glock- 30 of course!

-- zoobie (zoobiezoob@yahoo.com), November 28, 1999.


OK, Don,

Maybe we should move farther west? Like Neptune maybe? I'm thinking of reserving a flight to Saturn because it is about 75% hydrogen and 25% helium with traces of water, methane, ammonia and "rock." I can purify the water : o ) and use the methane as fuel.

All on board?

Semper-Hate to burst your bubble, but your MAC hardware is Y2k compliant, but the operating system is not! Do you use MS Windows?

-- Brian Bretzke (bretzke@tir.com), November 28, 1999.

Brian,

With all due respect, MS Windows on a Mac? It is possible to run both Mac OS and Windows if you have a PC card in your Mac, but other than that, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Macintosh Operating System is Y2k compliant, and has been since 1984. Microsoft Windoze -- now that's another story.

Good luck with your PeeCee.

The Dewey Decimal System.

Yamaha Induction Control System.

The number system.

The Dog

The Kalashnikov Autoloading System...

Remember all ammo is Y2K compliant.

Got Glock?

So some of you plan to shoot the hungry people who, foolish though they might be, didn't prepare? Have you thought that they might want food or water for their children? Who among your relatives or acquaintances will you be willing to kill to ensure your own existence? How will you feel in this survival you've created for yourself if you've had to kill someine to achieve it? I'd rather die than take someone's life. A loaf of bread doesn't mean that much to me. Rather than spend money on guns and ammunition - - they're kind of expensive, aren't they? - - why not buy more food? And after all is said and done, will you really be at peace with your decision? I guess I am judging and criticising you. May God have mercy on your souls.

Ooooh, some more "approach my bunker and die" posts. What a surprise! Hey, gunzos, where exactly do you think your ammo is going to come from? Instead of boring us with your bore sizes, why not learn a fun, rewarding and challenging long term skill like bowyering and fletching? Or do you just prefer to sit in a darkened room with your eyes rolled up in your heads, oiling and stroking your mighty barrel, and whispering "So big... so hard... shove you right down their throats... can't wait... it's coming... coming SOON..."

Sorry. That's been building up for a while now. :(

Colin!

I can tell you were pissed when you wrote that! What a hoot! First, I winced at your description, and then I fell outta of my chair laughing. After the bellyroar, I got back up, punched the air with my fist, and shouted, "Right on Collin!" You have an incredible imagination my man.

Unfortunately, the nutbreath of these reprobate rodents has fouled the air in here. But the truth is finally coming out. Guard yourselves in the woods. It ain't the bears & the cougars that will kill you...it's them darned squirrels...oh & they're sneaky about it too. They skulk along branches...way above our heads. The minute we take a well needed break...WHAM! A nut...or worse...on the head.

Be on your guard, good people...these insidious little beasts may be the death of us. Those of you fighting the good fight, struggling to prepare for any interruptions in the coming year...don't underestimate the squirrels.

Ever note how many slick politicians have good hair? Picture this scene... a sewer filled with rats, engaged in an earnest debate about who should lead them. Suddenly, one rat scampers to the top of a pile of Soldier of Fortune magazines. "My fellow sub-denizens," he begins, "unused as I am to public speaking, I must draw your attention to how bushy and lustrous my tail is compared to your balding, impotent ones. I think your course of action is clear." Some rats question the wisdom of this, but are shouted down by those who point out that a virile, healthy leader is what rats need right now, as opposed to the fat balding old leaders that the accursed ground squirrels keep appointing. The bushy tailed rat is elected as King Rat forthwith. His first act? "To stimulate the economy, you must bring all the nuts in the country and store them in my tree. I will issue you leaves which you will use instead of nuts. To guard the nuts, I will appoint my bushy tailed cousin here. To deal with those who question my nut gathering strategy, I will appoint another bushy tailed rat, co- incidentally another cousin of mine. To ensure that you are dealt with fairly, I shall appoint a judiciary branch to the Tree of Government. Yes, I have another cousin who is perfect for the job. Yes, he does happen to have a bushy tail..."

They're out there. And they have opposable thumbs.

I remember no question asking if I would shoot beggars on the streets! I was simply responding to the original question as asked. I, at least didn't jump to far-out conclusions, Colin and Constance.

You Colin seem to do your best to put words in other peoples mouths, much like the liberal scum we have in American politics.
