    Lippard is arriving this weekend, but he may only be up here for a couple of
    weeks. I don't know when/if David is coming back from SD.

    If this GT doesn't get announced on the lic board after it is planned
    here, you can count me out of the participation.

            Why count you out?  It will be annouced on the PUBlic Board and I
    hope on OTHER Bulletin Board Systems.
            Are you bitter about something?  Geesh, no wonder BBS GTs are not
    fun anymore....  sigh!  Your damned if you do, and damned if ya don't!

    Sheesh. I kill some time on this BBS because I was just a few minutes shy of
    11pm (I think that Cliff's clock is behind) and get here to find NO NEW!
    What is wrong with you habitual late-night callers?  Don't you have anything
    to say?  Huh? Well? Speak up. I'm not leaving here until you do.

    Now come on, you can't sit there holding your breath forever.  You are going
    to have to inhale so that your lungs can replenish the oxygen in your blood.
    Hey!  Stop turning blue!  You really need to breathe (or to get in from out
    of the cold!).  If you pass out, don't expect me to catch you when you fall.
    It will just be  and when you wake up, you'll ache something bad.

    Time for Weekend Update. Later

            I think such movies degrade professional writers and producers.
    The movie portrays a natural human instinct using quit a variety of
    situations to demonstrate the same 'urge'. What I wonder about is the movies
    tendancy to make every sequence look as if it is something that EVERY normal
    human being does.
            I hear there are movies out there that do degrade the female. Do not
    think I would want to see one of them.

    How about the Guardian Angels?  Are they right or wrong?  It would seem the
    local police need all the help they can get.  Why are the police so set
    against the GA's?  The headlines are real cute.  The GA's do a citizen
    arrest and flag down the police, who in turn want to put the GA's in jail.
    It fits right in with the so called justice of today's court.  Let the
    criminals go free and put the citizens in jail.

    So, take a whack at it!

    Well, it's like this.  The police don't want anything to do with the
    Guardian Angels because they're well liked by the public and the idea of
    their existence implies that the police are not doing their job.  Therefore,
    the police insist on giving them a bad time.

    Wow... reports of serious violence against the demonstrators in Tiananmen
    Square.
    Also, the government invoked a news blackout and pulled the plug on all of
    the satellite uplinks that were in the country (hours before the violence
    started)

    maybe there is a revolution about to take place?

         From FACTSHEET FIVE #30 --

    THE GREAT APOLLO BULLETIN BOARD SYSTEM DEBATE ON ILLEGAL DRUGS:  A selection
    of messages downloaded from a computer BBS dealing with that perennial topic
    of debate, drugs.  It's more of a shouting match than a debate, actually,
    pitting mainly Libertarians against hardcore Christian conservatives.  A few
    good points and a lot of fine invective in a multicornered conversation.

    I'm all for them. As long as they don't become 'Bronson' types and start
    taking the law into their own hands. As far as the police dept. is
    concerned, I can understand why they are so opposed - it's a matter of ego!
    They wouldn't want to give us the impression that they need help - God
    forbid! Of course, we all know the police dept. has everything under control
    (HA!) If I lived in a high crime neighborhood, I'd certainly feel better
    knowing the G.A.s were around! -=*) ANN (*=-

    Did anyone see the article in the paper this morning re: the cartoonist
    Benson? Seems one of his Mecham cartoons offended the Mormon church and
    other denominations. They released him from his church duties! I saw it and
    thought it was halarious. It suggested that Mecham used the Mormon church to
    futher his political career. But didn't we already know this?

    What about these Soloflex ads? I feel discriminated against. They guys have
    to stretch around on the machines without a shirt on, while the women wear
    some type of sweat top. Where's the fairness here? Thousands of women
    drooling for at least 15 minutes of the Soloflex program/commercial's half
    hour, and us men have to use our imagination! Either put a T-shirt on him,
    or take her's off! Same with these "Body by Soloflex" posters! If you're
    going to be showing male areoli, well, it's only fair, right? Down with
    biased exploitation. We need EOE...Equal Opportunity Exploitation!

    My all-time favorite resturaunt is the Golden Nugget Chinese Buffet, just
    east of 51st Avenue on Indian School (between Merabank and Dunkin Donuts).
    It is family owned, and the food is always good! Plain and fried rice,
    Canton Chow Mein, Stir Fry Broccoli and Vegetables With Beef, Cabbage With
    Chicken, House Chicken, Sweet And Sour Chicken, Sliced Potatoes with Beef in
    Gravy, Fried Chicken, B-B-Q Chicken, and Breaded French Fries! Other
    occasionals that they serve: B-B-Q Pork Strips, Breaded Fish, Breaded Sweet
    Potato Slices (you MUST try these if they have them!), Deep Fried Banana
    Slices, and so much more! They also have the Egg Drop Soup, with your choice
    of Chow Mein noodles or Won Ton noodles (or just plain if you prefer). They
    also do take out (menu items or buffet) and their prices are very
    reasonable!

            I've noticed that the Phx. P.D. is looking to hire more uniformed
    officers.  Funny how this comes at the same time as when the GA come into
    town.  From my experiences with the Police Department, if someone steals
    your bike or breaks into your house, it would be just as useful to phone
    Dial an Atheist.  Same results although the DAA is somewhat more amusing.
            I like the idea of the Angels, at least thus far.  I'll just have to
    wait and see as will we all.
            Does anyone know how this group is doing in other cities around the
    world?

            From my understanding the Story Kontest is over but if you write
    something real soon and upload it to an ascii file in the Library you may
    have a chance to win many prizes, plus lots of fame.
            The First Prize may just be a free trip to Gila Bend for two,
    including continential breakfast and $5. in spending tokens.  (sorry, not
    redemable for cash.)   -Rod

    P.S.  Please, PLEASE, enter the Kontest.  DO IT NOW, or else you may have
    nightmares.

    Dean Hathaway is in charge of this Kontest so the true deadline is up to
    him, I suspose.  He may take bribes?

    If you are too wimpy to enter then the least you can do is Download the
    ascii files and READ them.  Then you can actually cast a vote.

            YOUR INPUT IS NECESSARY. (votes may be worth $$$)
