Grex Enigma Item 253: The Ladies Oblivious to the Scratching of My Nails [linked]
Entered by remmers on Mon Mar 23 04:37:15 UTC 1992:

        can you play the role as well as i?

        can you sip your tepid tea and smile
        at the ladies, the tedious bitches who
        chatter on about their gardens and 
        their sons and daughters away at school?

        "would you care for some more tea?"

        oh, i am so polite, such a hypocrite.
        i cannot stand these pretentious hags.

        i scrape my nails on the window pane,
        hoping they will hear and wince.
        they do not, of course, so focused
        they are on their petty concerns.

        the clouds roll rapidly in, the sky
        darkens, and then the deluge.  the
        storm came up so quickly!  we gather
        up our things and hasten indoors.

        "i must leave you now, my fine ladies."

        in my car i speed to the center of town,
        the rain pouring down in sheets.  better
        the company of bookmakers and whores
        than those pompous painted hypocrites.

Hmm, again an item which I never responded to as a newres item.
This is getting very annoying!

Hey, that's good....


#8 of 47 by vidar on Sun Mar 27 00:21:49 1994:

Shut up, unless you want me to whoop your ass.


#9 of 47 by ziggy on Sun Mar 27 22:04:08 1994:

I don't know if that would hurt seeing as how I have no idea what whooping is.


#10 of 47 by vidar on Mon Mar 28 01:14:44 1994:

Any number of painful things: spanking, whipping, kicking, punching, slashing
, stabbing, etc.


#11 of 47 by ziggy on Mon Apr 4 16:13:10 1994:

#20 of 47 by fuz on Sat May 28 21:57:32 1994:

hi. who are you.


#21 of 47 by vidar on Sun May 29 03:12:13 1994:

Punctuation is important to most of us.


#22 of 47 by kami on Wed Jun 1 05:56:38 1994:

not!  Some of us are more interested in the content of a statement


#23 of 47 by carl on Wed Jun 1 14:53:39 1994:

or in the constant of a sentiment.


#24 of 47 by orinoco on Tue Jun 7 22:59:17 1994:

Im orinoco says me and punctuation is of no use to me says me again
o well ill just go and shave a llama wont i now says somebody else
masquerading as me o well bye now bye this is orinoco signing off


#25 of 47 by carl on Fri Jul 19 19:27:39 1996:

Just a minute there, Marston.  The text in 0 looks like it was
plagiarized from Thomas Stearns Snord.  Are you any relation?


#26 of 47 by remmers on Sat Jul 20 11:59:41 1996:

He's from the disowned side of the family. Always wears the bottoms
of his trousers rolled.


#27 of 47 by i on Sun Aug 2 02:08:01 1998:

Rolled outside, or *inside*?  Recent research has shown that rolling them
inside is usually a subtle side-effect of having one's handedness reversed
through a 4-Klein space warp.  Just how far back does this sort of thing
go in the disowned side of the Snord family?  And was that little encounter
with the warp an accident, or *was he pushed*????  


#28 of 47 by remmers on Sun Aug 2 13:06:56 1998:

Rolled inside, probably due to the 4-Klein space warp. Another symptom
of this was that he wore his heart on his sleeve.


#29 of 47 by lee on Sun Aug 2 14:40:24 1998:

<lee has a picture of a klein bottle in her office>


#30 of 47 by remmers on Sun Aug 2 17:01:01 1998:

That is to say, a two-dimensional projection of a three-dimensional
projection of a four-dimensional object. How much of the essence of
a true Klein Bottle do you think this "picture" conveys?


#31 of 47 by lee on Mon Aug 3 19:13:10 1998:

I don't know but it looks pretty neat


#32 of 47 by remmers on Tue Aug 4 00:53:12 1998:

I ask because I used to live in a Klein bottle. Or was I outside
the Klein bottle? Hard to tell...


#33 of 47 by i on Tue Aug 4 00:55:47 1998:

(Omnipresence is but one attribute of Snordliness.)


#34 of 47 by i on Tue Aug 4 01:00:47 1998:

Somehow, i remember this from somewhere.  Caen in '44, perhaps?


#35 of 47 by snowth on Wed Aug 5 17:14:48 1998:

I seem to remember remembering this before. Coincidence? I think not.


#36 of 47 by i on Thu Aug 6 02:50:31 1998:

Ah, but do you *remember* it being a coincidence?


#37 of 47 by orinoco on Sat Aug 8 15:58:30 1998:

Of course I don't remember it being a coincidence.

Remember, we Never Had this Conversation.


#38 of 47 by i on Sun Aug 9 00:54:34 1998:

What'll we say if we have to testify under oath about it?


#39 of 47 by orinoco on Mon Aug 10 02:12:33 1998:

The same thing we said last time
