OK... to stay on topic (bit hard when I'm so drunk but so what). Don't you think that autoformers suck? NB: This question doesn't need an answer.
And to go off-topic:
THE PHILOSOPHERS' DRINKING SONG
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel.
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just a schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raising of the wrist;
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey everyday.
Aristotle, Aristotle, was a buggger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram.
And Ren� Descartes was a druken fart
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed.
A lovely little thinker
But a bugger when he's pissed.

Oh yeah. buggger has only two g's.
Oh

you'll regret this in the morning.
I've been acol for a while and I had no problems.

Great song though. Makes me want to drink right now- too late

blah.....................................................................................................................................
Nell_Smith posted 09-04-99 12:53 AM ET
lol... it's the morning now... 05:53 to be precise... and I regret this. Not.
Hmmm maybe I was so drunk that I was trying to log onto the toaster or something instead of ACOL... lol
Nell... with incipient hangover... um... time to go!

didn't think you would find this thread. I brought up some old ones. and I decided this forum needed many useless poll.s. They should make me moderator.

hi nell - you are up and around?
what happened to SmacMasters ???
aceplayer posted 09-04-99 12:10 PM ET
you checked the notify me by email box??
isnt that a little like self-spamming ???

he he - I just spammed you twice
3 times now

ace:
Despite appearances to the contrary, I don't spend that much time on the forums. If I don't use the "reply by email" box, I often don't realise if people have replied to the nonsense that I post.
And I've told you about SMACMasters!! lol... the last time I saw it was when I sent M.Y.2117 on to Morgan (Kitty) on 11th August. I posted over at ACOL about it: AFAIK, the turn is probably with MtG, who is busy with real life stuff right now. I guess it will reappear at some point

what is ACOL? and what is the address?
Nell_Smith posted 09-04-99 01:46 PM ET
ACOL = Alpha Centauri On-Line. It's a forum run by Asian Flu, and many of the people who used to be regulars here are now regulars there instead (and some are still on both forums). It's a good forum and a good crowd.

I categorically deny the existence of ACOL. It is a fabrication. I mean, if we believed everything we heard, we'd also believe in Area 51 or the NSA. Or that anything of interest to the outside world happened near Roswell in 1947.
ACOL is a figment of the imagination. Trust me
Nell_Smith posted 09-04-99 01:56 PM ET
SMACTrek is a figment of his own imagination.
And so am I. Or am I figment of someone else's imagination? Does anyone care?
Thought not.

SMACTrek posted 09-04-99 02:39 PM ET
Well, I suppose it's a gimme that the world isn't "for real"... So maybe what I said is that ACOL isn't really false? I'm getting confused....
Oh. And for anybody who can receive WGN, Invasion USA is coming on tonight at 10:30 central. One of my favorite crummy movies, surpassed only by Missing In Action II. I've been calling Chuck Norris a phony. Silly me...
I quit teasing now
Krushala posted 09-04-99 05:48 PM ET
I didn't know these forums had that notify me box. In fact I don't see it right now.
Sorry about messing up the forum format. As you can see I was bored and destructive and slightyly drunk.

The russians just blew up Chuck Norris's house.. Now he's angry... Gotta love propaganda.
SMACTrek posted 09-05-99 12:30 AM ET
They're having a shootout in the mall, and now a car chase... Of course our hero wins. They're goin down like stormtroopers.
SMACTrek posted 09-05-99 12:40 AM ET
Now the Russians are trying to blow up a church... hilarious! This movie is like a cartoon!
SMACTrek posted 09-05-99 12:47 AM ET
These guys are out in the open, and the soldiers have cover, yet they're still beating the Army! Ecch.
SMACTrek posted 09-05-99 01:11 AM ET
This is just too much. The army has gunships, yet they still need Chuck to save them from some terrorists...
Krushala posted 09-05-99 10:23 AM ET
I was watching part of that last night. Amazing when I was a kid I liked chuck norris movies. Kind of cheesy watching it now.
Krushala posted 09-05-99 12:01 PM ET
Has anyone ever seen Red Dawn. Came out about the same time as invasion usa. A lot better movie though. I know the scenario was unlikeyl- russian and cubans coming up through texas (why in the hell would they want to create 2 fronts, even though they had the rockies on one side). I still love that movie today even though the thought of russians/cubans invading today is laughable. Makes you think though- it has been a long time since america was invaded.
Krushala posted 09-05-99 12:02 PM ET
And why did chuck norris ditch those mac-10's for the m-16? He might have been out of ammo I wasn't sure. but the mac-10's were far better in close quarters conbat.
SMACTrek posted 09-05-99 02:34 PM ET
He uses the grenade launcher on the M16 to shoot a couple of guys from the other side of a wall. He's "Psychic" and knows just where the ambush is....
SMACTrek posted 09-05-99 09:33 PM ET
And the music for this film is cheesy too.
MikeH II posted 09-06-99 06:54 AM ET

AAArgh!! The Random Chat forum at ACOL seems to be terminally dead. Although "dead" of course implies "terminal". Oh well.
Here I am again.
Or is it just me who can't get into the Random Chat at ACOL? Hmmm... the other forums seem OK.

Hi guys... and thanks for the info... glad it's not just me! When I've dug myself out of my PBEM and email mountain, I'll check out ACOL again.
And I fear nobody called "ballpark", no matter what evil plans he has for me and my harmless off-topic post. Although if you look closely, you'll see that this post is in fact ON-topic, as it does mention autoformers...
~100 emails down, ~100 to go...

It's just not so intimate here, now is it?
