OVERHEARD AT THE IMC: Not In Context But Very Telling. 
  reprinted by Nonym Eyes 

Yes too bad - you know  
I started out at 300.bps  
(like a bug crawling across  
the screen) 
   My first 14.4 was like  
lighting - my highest speed  
is 33.6 I'm happy with my speed  
thank-you-very-much

And now, here's Ponty Mython with the weekly SPAM (tm) report. 
  Received the following: 
TED KOPPEL, NIGHTLINE, "IT PROMISES TO BECOME HUGE" 
  as the subject header. 
  Funny; had I not received this spam at least 25 times in 
the past three years, I might have thought it was a real 
email. Drats, foiled again. Another one goes into the little 
garbage can inside the Windows (tm) icon. 
   

GREETINGZ - i'm prime! 
Here's the zine. ATI issue 276. 
Yup, jumbled up into a different order, a bit, eh? 
We'll go back to the same order you're used to 
next week. 
  Maybe. 

laterz, 
prime 

 

A L L   N E W    C A R V E D - U P   S P A M 

IT'S BEEN MANY MANY WEEKS SINCE WE'VE DONE  
A SPAM CARVING, ARE YOU READY FOR THIS ONE? 

  Tired of the 40 X 40 X 40 Plan? You know: 
Receive 40 emails from someone you don't know 
40 days in a row, then notice 40% of your inbox 
is spam! Spam, spam, spam and spam. 
  Is receiving spam too annoying for words? 
Are you sick of receiving email with no personal  
fulfillingness and even less future? 
  If you're determined to retire in the next 2 - 50  
years with no spam in your inbox, and are not afraid  
to work work it, I can help you. 
  If you've tried other techniques in the past that  
have failed to live up to their promises, THIS IS  
DIFFERENT THAN ANYTHING ELSE YOU'VE SEEN! 
  THIS IS NOT A GET-RICH-QUICK SCHEME! BUT YOU'RE 
PROBABLY WONDERING WHY WE'VE SUDDENLY MODULATED INTO 
ALL-CAPS. 
  WELL I'LL TELL YOU. OUR BLOODPRESSURE JUST INCREASED 
BECAUSE WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO TELL YOU THIS. 
YOUR INBOX DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE SMEGMA PIT OF DOOM! 
DON'T GO TO SLEEP WITHOUT TRYING THIS! 
  DO IT NOW! 
  "The moment you commit and quit holding back, all sorts  
of unforseen incidents, meetings and material assistance  
will rise up to help you. The simple act of commitment is  
a powerful magnet for help." -Napoleon  Hill (don't ask,  
I have no friggin' idea who s/he is.) 
  Do it now before it's too late! Hold your shift key 
down right now, and move your mouse clicker arrow up 
until every single email before this one is highlighted. 
Then simply touch the key marked "del" ever so gently, 
and repeat after me. "I've now rid myself of more spam 
than I've ever done before, I've now rid myself of more 
spam than... [three or more times]) 
  After that you will achieve great happiness and much 
care-free good vibrations. 
  Thank you, and have a nice day. 

 

AND ANOTHER FINE ROADSIDE BROADSIDE

MR. SANDCASTLE 

(ch) Hey Mr. Sandcastle 
     Worth all the trouble 
     And the hassle 
     Hey Mr. Sandcastle 
     I hope you last 
     G C / G / F / G C / FCG  

You're a working man with a wife and kids 
Sleeping in the back of your car 
I wonder how you even manage to live 
Sleeping in the back of your car 
G F C G / F C G - / G F C G / F C G -  

Homeless generation and you know that's true 
We're moving fast toward that 
All the shelters and the Holiday Inns 
You know we can't change that.  

(ch)  

10% of population is rich 
Other 90 go poor 
Half the ninety think they're middle class 
Who they foolin' no more.  

Said 10% of population is rich 
Other 90 go poor 
Half the ninety think they're middle class 
Who they foolin' no more.  

(ch) repeat and fade

We end this week with metaphors: 

The Man Who Was Looking Hard  
  by marc frucht 

Part IV 

One time Jesus was sitting there talking to him. 
  "You know what?" he told Christ. "You know what, 
I'll tell you. 
  "You know what he said?" he said. "I'm searching 
for the metaphors of the Christ." 

Part V 

He coveted the keys to the kingdom. 
  He was shown the door.
