Some are just snobs and some are real fun. We can't be heard and can't be seen. Our most deepest regrets and troubling fears.
I don't understand this magical spell. -Unknown.

Nothing thrilling this month.
(Tell us what's happening on your channel - send info to newsletter@starlink-irc.org)
Here we are in the last of the girl months (April, May, June and Julie) .. We have learned that Maze's Mafia (aka the Canadian Conspiracy) has managed to return from its trip to the far north. Surprisingly, there have been very few restraining orders or warrants issued .. and they've been back for weeks. They all went north so they could send email to each thru an ISP other 400 miles away while they were all sitting in the same room... Technology.. gotta love it! Your intrepid spider has learned that Scorp will be giving lessons in scorptalk someday soon. This will be appreciated both by the canadian mafia and those who happen to drift in during a session of sign language on IRC -- our latest educational thread! There was something about snakes with Ameret's snake, Gareeth's rat, and Wildchild and another snake, but i think it was disgusting so i forgot it. (Probably a Good Thing). Stay tuned, next month is bound to be more fun than Julie ! Itsy

Dear Lord Contributed by Ellie of #Scorp’s Place and #Itsy Every single evening As I'm lying here in bed This tiny little prayer Keeps running through my head. God bless my mom and dad, And other family. Keep them warm and safe from harm For they're so close to me. And God, there is one more thing I wish that you could do. Hope you don't mind me asking, Bless my computer too. Now I know that it's not normal To bless a mother board, But listen just a second While I explain to you 'My Lord'. You see, that little metal box Holds more than odds & ends Inside those small compartments Rest so many of my FRIENDS. I know so much about them By the kindness that they give And this little scrap of metal Takes me in to where they live. By faith is how I know them Much the same as you We share in what life brings us And from that our friendship grew. Please, take an extra minute From your duties up above To bless those in my address book That's filled with so much love! Wherever else this prayer may reach To each and every friend, Bless each email in box And the person to whom its sent. When you update your heavenly list On your own CD-Rom Remember each who've said this prayer Sent up to God.com. Amen.
HOW TO SING THE BLUES . . . A PRIMER Contributed by Itsy 1) Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning..." 2) "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, 'less you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town." 3) The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes . . . sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound." 4) The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch--ain't no way out. 5) Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft an' state-sponsored motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die. 6) Teenagers can't sing the Blues. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis. 7) Blues can take place in New York City but not in Hawaii or any place in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle is probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the blues in any place that don't get rain. 8) A man with male pattern baldness ain't the blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg cause you skiing is not the blues. Breaking your leg 'cause a alligator be chomping on it is. 9) You can't have no Blues in a office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster. 10) Good places for the Blues: a) Highway; b) Jailhouse; c) Empty bed; d) Bottom of a whiskey glass. Bad places for the Blues: a) Dillard's; b) Gallery openings; c) Ivy League institutions; d) Golf courses 11) No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, 'less you happen to be a old ethnic person, and you slept in it. 12) Do you have the right to sing the Blues? Yes, if a) You older than dirt; b) You blind; c) You shot a man in Memphis; d) You can't be satisfied. No, if a) You have all your teeth; b) You were once blind but now can see; c) The man in Memphis lived; d) You have a 401K or trust fund. 13) Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the blues. Sonny Liston could. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the blues. 14) If you ask for water and your darlin' give you gasoline, it's the Blues. Other acceptable Blues beverages are a) Cheap wine; b) Whiskey or bourbon; c) Muddy water; d) Nasty black coffee. The following are NOT Blues beverages: a) Perrier; b) Chardonnay; c) Snapple; d) Slim Fast. 15) If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So is the electric chair, substance abuse and dying lonely on a broken down cot. You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or getting liposuction. 16) Some Blues names for women: a) Sadie; b) Big Mama; c) Bessie; d) Fat River Dumpling 17) Some Blues names for men a) Joe; b) Willie; c) Little Willie; d) Big Willie 18) Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis. 19) Make your own Blues name Starter Kit: a) Name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.); b) First name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Kiwi, etc.); c) Last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.); d) For example, Blind Lime Jefferson, Jakeleg Lemon Johnson or Cripple Kiwi Fillmore, etc. (Well, maybe not "Kiwi.") 20) I don't care how tragic your life, if you own a computer, you cannot sing the blues.
