- The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
- Your question was:
-
- > Oh Most Bodacious Oracle, whose WorkStation makes the SparcServer 10 look like
- > a Timex Sinclair 1000, who benchpresses blue whales for fun, and knows the
- > Roman God of Faeces, do answer this supplicant's question.

- > If you put Kibo and Carasso in a partitioned room, and put

- > room, and then the lights went out, and then the partition removed,
- > and the lights turned on again, what would happen (before and

- And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
-
- } Obviously they do what all cultured people do. They write the Oracle.
- }
- } CARASSO decides to post the entire Frederick's of Hollywood Lingerie
- } Catalog. But rather than type it all in, he's scanning in the pages
- } and posting the uuencoded bitmaps.
- }
- } CARASSO: "Subject: Frederick's (Summer 1992) (156 of 5110)" Hmm...
- }
- } Rictus Hep: Did you know that there's an artificial intelligence program
- } named Parry? Just like James "Kibo" Parry. I wonder how
- } well it fucks.
- }
- } BIFF!!1111: K00l!
- }
- } Kibo: I am NOT named after an AI program! I am *not* paranoid!
- } Hey, quit looking at me like that! I am *not* getting touchy -
- } I just don't like people looking at me. Why do people keep
- } calling me Parry? Is this some kind of plot to GET ME?
- }
- } (hey - what a deep thought... I'd better post it to the net!)
- }
- } BIFF!!1111: PLEZ HEP ME. I"M USING AN IBM PC 2 TAKE OVER THE WORLD
- } BUT MICRO SOFT SAYS ITS NOT SPORTED. SUM K00L DOOD TELL ME
- } WAT 2 DO? AWE SUM!!
- }
- } Rictus Hep: Micro-- soft? Heh heh. We all get it, right? Soft?
- }
- } Kibo: You know, Carasso, I can't help but point out that there's a
- } Fall 1992 Frederick's Catalog. I saw one as I was passing by
- } the Stop & Shop on Memorial Drive. Naturally personally I
- } couldn't stoop so low as to read such a thing, but as I was
- } driving by I happened to peek in through the window of the
- } supermarket and saw "Fall 1992" clearly labelled.
- }
- } CARASSO: <FLAME ON> I'M WORKING ON IT! I'M WORKING ON IT! OH, MY POOR
- } TIRED FINGERS, SLAVING OVER A GREASY SCANNER AND ALL FOR THE
- } LOVE OF MY FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS. DO I ASK FOR SOME KIND OF REWARD?
- } NO! <FLAME OFF> (actually, now that I think about it, <FLAME ON>)
- }
- } BIFF!!1111: I THINK U GOT PAGE 32 UP-SIDE DOWN. MOST NOT K00L!
- }
- } Rictus Hep: Upside down? Get it? Upside down? Poor old Rictus doesn't
- } get a lot you know, but what he does get -- he gets upside down!
- }
- } CARASSO: SHIT! I am NOT definitely NOT going to re-post PAGE 32 again.
- } Use xv or something to flip it. I DON'T FUCKING CARE!
- }
- } BIFF!!1111: HOW DO I DO THAT?
- }
- } Rictus Hep: That's what *she* said!
- }
- } Kibo: Rarely in my (dare I admit, rather comfortable) life have I been
- } in the presence of such idiocy, even in the realm of
- } Knowledge-In-Bullshit-Out. Oh wait -- here on comp.binaries.ibm.pc
- } I see a reference to me!
- }
- } "I'm calling this Skiing videogame I'm posting "skibozo" just to annoy
- } Kibo who will find it every time he greps through usenet for his name"
- }
- } CARASSO: I don't care how you flip it. Flip this, asshole. (flips the bird)
- } Why don't you ask the Oracle?
- }
- } BIFF!!1111: DERE ORKLE, HOW DO I FLIP IT/?
- }
- } Kibo: Dear naturally not quite as cool as I am Oracle,
- } What's up? I can't help but notice that most people ask you questions,
- } and don't take the time to notice that you too may have deep
- } inner emotions that need healing and answering. Feel free to
- } let ol' Kibo help you out from time to time if the burdens get
- } too much.
- }
- } Rictus Hep: Yo Oracle,
- } How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if poor old Rictus
- } were to slip it to him?
- }
- } CARASSO: HEY ORACLE,
- } I'm trying to publish a description of what it would be like to
- } fuck every woman I've ever met on Usenet, complete with
- } an audio track I'm making up. Any ideas for victims? Heh heh.
- }
- } You owe the Oracle a way out of this racket.
- }
