Grex Enigma Item 48: The Importance of Our Notebooks
Entered by remmers on Mon Mar 23 04:03:13 UTC 1992:

We are nothing without our notebooks.  For who would record that
which happens to us, if not we ourselves?

38 responses total.

Is what we record of ourselves, what we really need to see? Or just another
subjective account of the local news.

   At one point I was myself and my notebook was a book.

   After a while my notenook became a part of me.  If I went to a meeting
without it, I felt its reproach.

   Now I am a part of the notebook.

I am only half the man I could be because I only write stuff down
every other day.

Triple space...Make more of yourself!

You could write larger, wouldn't that work. The larger the
better I always say.

     I want a Powerbook so I can be powerful


#7 of 38 by other on Thu Mar 24 08:15:59 1994:

I want a Newton I can talk to.  Will I be an Isaac if I become my Newton?


#8 of 38 by kami on Thu Mar 24 19:44:37 1994:

well, if you catch a cold, you'll have to get a hankysaac.

generator. my monitor is cracked and my logic board has a bad power chip so i
can't run off battery-- although the batery must be in anyway.

sara says "where is my damn book?"


#15 of 38 by dang on Sat Jan 11 21:37:43 1997:

Probably on the shelf.


#16 of 38 by lee on Mon May 5 20:31:15 1997:

What notebook?


#17 of 38 by orinoco on Wed Jul 16 15:47:08 1997:

The notebook without which he is nothing.
Being as he still exists, we must presume the notebook does as well.
Or at least that it did, back in 1995.
Whereas by now it's entirely possible that the notebook, and thus karlberg
himself, is nothing but a termite-infested pile of wood rot in some forgotten
basement.

But we won't hold it against you, eric.  It's not your fault.


#18 of 38 by snowth on Thu Jul 24 03:10:04 1997:

Unless, of course, it is your fault.  And in that case, we might or misght
not blame you, depending, obviously, on the weather in Pintleton Alpha.


#19 of 38 by orinoco on Sat Aug 9 02:40:01 1997:

The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain.
The rain in Maine falls plainly on the train.


#20 of 38 by snowth on Mon Aug 11 00:57:52 1997:

Except for when it doesn't.


#21 of 38 by i on Wed Oct 8 00:05:27 1997:

Or isn't, or wasn't.  
And then there's the times when it falls on the pheasant.
Now isn't that pleasant, a rain-pelted pheasant?
Well, not for the pheasant, and he doth resent it.

"You might be a Wasn't!
 A Wasn't has no fun at all, no he doesn't!
 A Wasn't just isn't, he just isn't present,
 But you, you are you, and now isn't that pleasant?"
        -Dr. Seuss


#23 of 38 by i on Sat Nov 8 01:18:27 1997:

Because, because, because....
Because no good word seems to rhyme with because!
[sung by a little girl, a tin woodsman, a cowardly lion, etc.]


#24 of 38 by snowth on Sat Nov 8 03:44:54 1997:

And five little munchkins that were hiding backstage.


#25 of 38 by orinoco on Sat Nov 8 03:54:30 1997:

No, they don't rhyme with because either, silly.


#26 of 38 by snowth on Sat Nov 8 04:23:14 1997:

well, it's not my fault they were singing! I had nothing to do with it. I am
completely sweet and innocent. ;)


#27 of 38 by i on Sat Nov 8 14:20:34 1997:

Sweet, perhaps, but certainly not innocent.  Glinda the Good read us the 
part in her Book about you and the Snord's deep-freeze.  The KGB is dusting
your fingerprints off an ice cream scoop that's dripping double butterscotch
chocolate chip as we speak.  i suggest that you confess before the Senate
hearings start tomorrow.


#28 of 38 by lee on Sun Nov 9 03:24:41 1997:

butterscotch chocolate chip ice cream? 
where?


#29 of 38 by orinoco on Sun Nov 9 16:41:20 1997:

On the ice cream scoop snagged by the KGB, silly.  Haven't you been listening?


#30 of 38 by lee on Wed Nov 12 01:47:49 1997:

yeah i've been listening
i heard the word ice cream didn't i?


#31 of 38 by i on Sat Nov 15 18:04:27 1997:

And the Word became Ice Cream, and melted in our mouths; and we tasted 
its perfection, full of chocolate chips and cookie dough.

#32 of 38 by lee on Wed Nov 19 01:46:10 1997:

no peanut butter chips?


#33 of 38 by i on Sat Apr 4 15:30:04 1998:

They're in the meatloaf.  But i haven't seen the meatloaf since Alice
took it through the looking-glass.

*munch munch*

BUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRPPPPP


#35 of 38 by gelinas on Tue Sep 17 03:19:50 2002:

Eddy had chocolate before disappearing back into the freezer?


#36 of 38 by jaklumen on Wed Sep 18 09:02:00 2002:

*crunch crunch*


#37 of 38 by i on Fri Sep 20 02:17:34 2002:

Eddy's Cauliflower Supreme Tofu Ice Cream was seen with the chocolate
shortly before the latter vanished.  There has been talk of fowl play.


#38 of 38 by lumen on Sat Nov 12 03:33:49 2005:

not to mention it had chicken bones in it...
