Grex Accordions Item 183: Pocket Power
Entered by cloud on Tue May 19 02:15:51 UTC 1998:

If you had absolute power over you're pocket lint, what would you do with it?
Remember, if you command it to become something else, like an apple, than it
will, but there-after it is no longer you're pocket lint, and there fore you
have no more power over it than you would over any other apple.

TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!!

Turn font's pocket lint into egg salad sandwiches, just to frustrate her
egomaniacal scheming.

"Pocket Lint!  Perform silly aerobatic tricks for me!"
<So I'm easily amused>

                Hrmf.  I can't even make a joke here anymore.  
                Should I start archiving stuff?  All in favor 
                Say "Aye!"  (or EYE, or I or whatever)

        Nose?

AIEEEEEE!!!


#8 of 36 by font on Sat Jun 6 15:20:06 1998:

Ok, well I'm guessing that since 'nose' sounds like 'no' and isn't an eye,
that he is against archival activities on the accordions conf.
'Raddish' implies radical movements, hense she must be in favor of archival
activities.  Dispite cloud's rather deseptively fatalistic tone, I believe
he's in favor of the motion because it sounds remarkably like 'aye'.
so far it's 2 for and 1 against.  Any one else willing to cast a vote?
(btw, I was thinking of seeing if I could have it set up so that
Old accordions and New accordions could be two separate conferences,
since their respective flavours are radically different)

I dunno, I tend to be against freezing and archiving and restarting and such.
It's nice to have the old items around, for character and suchlike.  And yeah,
the flavor's different, but such is life.

I say we burn it down, man! Just get a bunch of old furnature and burn it all
to the ground! So there!

<Some one, I dare say, was feeling bitter.>


#12 of 36 by font on Fri Jun 19 16:37:07 1998:

<font offers the entire staff and hooligans of accordions some bitters>


#13 of 36 by snowth on Fri Jun 19 19:08:44 1998:

<teehee... bitter? Who? Me? Na, never... >


#14 of 36 by cloud on Fri Jun 19 21:07:26 1998:

<Shrugs>


#15 of 36 by snowth on Sat Jun 20 03:08:37 1998:

You know, that silly spam song would be even cuter if you said "shrug" instead
of spam. Like, "shrug shrug shrug shrug shruggedy shrug!"


#16 of 36 by cloud on Mon Jun 22 03:47:03 1998:

It's almost as fun as saying "Smock!"  

Smock smock smock smock smock smock smock smurf smock smock snickers smock
smock smock... etc....


#17 of 36 by orinoco on Thu Jun 25 13:56:34 1998:

or Smoot!

Did you know there was a Hawley-Smoot Tarrif?

Neither did I.


#18 of 36 by cloud on Tue Jul 28 00:14:54 1998:

Pocket Lint!  I command you to spread the good word, "Smoot."


#19 of 36 by orinoco on Sat Aug 8 16:04:59 1998:

Doctor, doctor, there's lint on my lawn!


#20 of 36 by cloud on Tue Aug 11 03:31:13 1998:

Don't worry son, it's only spreading the good word.


#21 of 36 by orinoco on Tue Aug 11 18:00:24 1998:

As in, the gospel according to Lint?




#22 of 36 by cloud on Wed Aug 12 18:19:56 1998:

And the lard saideth to the massesess, "Smoot."


#23 of 36 by snowth on Sun Aug 30 04:18:26 1998:

Can I travel at the speed of lint? Please?

(What? Hey! What? Hey! What?! What?! Hey! Hey hey hey! *WHAT*?????!)


#24 of 36 by orinoco on Sun Aug 30 18:11:32 1998:

What indeed? Inquiring smoots want to know.


#25 of 36 by cloud on Mon Sep 7 02:41:28 1998:

No, no, no.  "Smoot" is just the good word.  There are no such things as
smoots.  It's just a good word.

<krj organizes a committee to Bring Back the Hawley-Smoot Tarriff.>


#27 of 36 by orinoco on Tue Sep 8 01:15:22 1998:

...


#28 of 36 by cloud on Tue Sep 8 02:03:25 1998:

That might upset someone.  Pocket Lint, bring peace to the seething masses!
(I know they're out there).


#29 of 36 by snowth on Sat Oct 31 05:26:54 1998:

I want a seething mass! Dan... that's what I want for Christmas. Okay?


#30 of 36 by orinoco on Mon Nov 2 03:33:52 1998:

That might be difficult - it's hard to get those gift-wrapped.


#31 of 36 by cloud on Mon Nov 2 23:12:00 1998:

Pocket Lint!  I command you to gift wrap the seething masses!


#32 of 36 by orinoco on Tue Nov 3 22:55:11 1998:

<*GHHK*>


#33 of 36 by cloud on Thu Nov 5 05:08:07 1998:

what?


#34 of 36 by snowth on Tue Nov 17 02:56:53 1998:

(no, see, that's the sound Pocket Lint makes when you command it to gift wrap
seething masses. It's not into that sort of thing, ya understand.)


#35 of 36 by orinoco on Wed Nov 18 03:14:12 1998:

Except for the occasional pocket-lint piece with a Seething Mass Fetish.


#36 of 36 by cloud on Wed Nov 25 03:39:08 1998:

Woo Woo!  It would be very odd to meet something with a fetish for seething
massess.  Very odd indeed.  Happy thanksgiving BTW, from me and my
pocket-lint.
