You think that's bad, it's taken me 3 months just to send this post.

It was, but now you've spoilt it.

Br t, I almost have access to my old email now, it's still crashing a
lot but I seem to have most of the mails intact. There should be one
of yours in there that needed answering before xmas, so I'm getting
around to it.

There was? Was it clever? Because if it wasn't clever, I would rather you
just ignored it. As you have been. For several months now.

Well you know I wasn't going to say anything. I figured the wife had
made an "addition" to the "garden".

Let me know how HL2 is when you get it downloaded in April.

?!?! I don't know how to reply to that. I need clarification. Whose
forehead did you slap: Yours? Mine? Surely not Plato's? Also, you haven't
canceled the slap, so that means *someone's* forehead is still being
slapped, right? Right?!?

I can't possibly be expected work under these conditions.

That's a thought, how come I'm being allowed to post? Am I on a trial
period? Is your famous shielding leaking? Anyway, I'm not scared of
you anymore, I've got an admirable umlaut, Bret told me, and his words
come from on high, at least they do when he's uploading.

Where's Bill? I wanted to tell him to stop talking out of his arse and
worship BCM as the greatest game ever to dance around the laws of
physics. And Shingen? I wanted to tell him Bill's going around saying
Black Sabbath were a bunch of girls.
Has it been dead around here lately. The earliest posts I picked up
were of Lemming upsetting people so it seemed to be business as usual.

Well, I suppose it's better than downloading from on high. I'll defer to your

That's just wrong on so many levels. Get UT running again so that I can
straighten you out. [No, not like that. Bloody hell.]

Negative. A slap is not a state of being so much as an action. At least, that's
what I tell myself.

Why? I find slapping other people's foreheads much more satisfying.
Especially with a crowbar.

Really? Not a state of being? You mean you can slap yourself, and yet not
*be* slappped? How can you possibly be slapped and not slapped at the same
time? Saaaay, this doesn't have something to do with quantum physics, does
it? Because it's giving me the same kind of headache.

You already told me not to talk out of my arse so I haven't had much to say
since that's the only why I know how to talk. It really is quite the
dilemma.

See? I managed to slap you with a mere thought. You are not being 'slappped'
[sic]. No. In fact, you have been bitchslapped. =)

I should have thought a crossbow an unwieldy sort of instrument for
forehead whacking.

To counter your psychic bitchslappp: I activate my artificial ultraviolet
negative ion cognition dampening field, thereby flooding this froup with
affected indifference.

I'm flattered you noticed; I try to stick to what I'm best at.

Anyway, it was only Ms. CMOT Nubbler, and she's been "in" usenet for
over a decade, so she's probably used to it.
