A late entry from GuinivereElise on the "Random Misinformation" Thread.
Really, you always contribute the most well thought out, logical stuff here on this board. Really. We all love you. And we never want you to leave. You are so much smarter than all the rest of us, really. No, no... don't blush. it's all true. We adore you. You are important here. Without you, this board would just wither away and die. THAT's how important you are. Don't try to deny it. You're the glue that holds this whole place together. You give us good advice, you gently help us to see how wrong, how very wrong, we all are. You speak truth, and you always just tell it like it is. We appreciate that. I promise. You don't need to be so modest; it's all true.

Really.

Oh ya, I almost forgot. My fucking school loans are past due. I've racked up another $500 on my credit card. I owe my parents $3,200. I've gained 15 pounds since I broke my leg. I'm going to have a fucking metal rod in my leg for the rest of my life. I'm going to get early arthritis because of the break. I'm probably never going to make it to Burning Man, or europe for that matter. Oh yea, and those school loans bought me nothing cause I got all F's in my classes. Oh, and my lender won't give me a fucking forbearance because my co-signer isn't having an economic hardship.

SO FUCK YOU WORLD, I'M SICK OF GETTING THE SHORT FUCKING END OF THE STICK!

Whoops I may have been hasty!

Post by theCryptofishist » Fri Jul 08, 2005 9:25 am

For I had not yet read this masterpiece from FATSam.

Though I'm only an undergrad (still...Good Lord...), I think that I can help you Rex. If you run your posts by me, I'll be happy to proof and perform minor edits for you at no cost - what the hell? I need the practice.

Boy. Some of these people are sure big stupid doo-doo heads, aren't they? Especially that mean ol' Badger and his UGLY wife Isotopia. Wow. Sorry, Iso, but the Tammy Faye Baker on steroids look...Man oh man.

Anyway, we can start with the post above, ok?

"As many peopel know I am a science teacher in San Jose.That explains why during the months you qoute I am busy. " This needs some retooling. How about...
"As many people know, I am an incontinent gin sot. That explains why during the months you quote, I am busy."

"I teach, write grants, get grants, getting my masters in instructionl technology, doign native animal rescue in santa cruz county, building a high defination theature in one of my rooms, rockhoudning, doing SCA, teachign ballroom dance, plus more durign the school year I am busy."
We can spice this up, too, and edit a little for length without losing too much...
"I teach native animals to write and get grants for me; I'm building a high definition theater in my Santa Cruz ballroom, and again, during the school year, I'm busy, which is to say, I'm drunk on gin. Also, I smoke rocks."

"I am now off for the summer and can now focus some on my other pursuits of which is to inform the general public to hopefully think on their own. To think on their own they have to be abe to have access to both sides of a story otherwise you are just ignorant."
I find this paragraph a bit jumbled. How about...
"It's summer. While I'm off, inform the general public to think on their own. Give Abe access to both sides of the story." I don't know who Abe is, but it seemed important so I left that in.

"I am most defintly not a sock their are about 20 of us that have my feeling that are willign to be public about the lakebed against BMORG. I have over 100 hundred other names and address that if i ever need to do a push I can call upon to help out. BLM gave a two year permit so it is not time to call upon those people to hopefully seek the "truth."
This should just be obvious...
"I am most definitely not sober. There are twenty of us feeling the willing public and those naked in BMORG. I have a hundred names! (I thought the emphasis might add punch) It is not yet time to call upon them to seek the truth." I think it sounds a little crazy, but it's got a really fun sort-of Saddam Hussein-circa-early '90's-feel to it. Sort of a "the blood of the infidels", etc....

"so good luck calling me a "sock" i am rex scates and no one woudl be willign to try to fit into my shoes as i sometimes put my foot in my mouth ;) but for the people that know me (of which most on EPLIYA do not) know i am a very caring person and dont lie."
You're a little off topic here, but again, I'm sure it's important, so I've tried to maintain the integrity of your statements.

"Wish me luck calling my socks. I AM REX SCATES! No one would be willing to fit me with shoes! For the people that know me, I cannot lie with a caring E-playan person's foot in my mouth." That's SO kinky, Rex. You're going to fit right in.

"so hopefully that explaisn your questions and yes I am interested to comtinue my measurements of the pliya serpents that I have been measuring for the last 4 years."
This was the hardest paragraph for me. Frankly, it was like translating Japanese to English, but I did my best. If you're going to write poetry, in the future, please just indicate it to me so I know how to punctuate...

"Hopefully,
you question explosions.
I am interested in measuring pliable serpents
I have been
for the last four years
measuring
measuring...."

I added a little at the end, but I think it sounds nice.
Sam, you do know you're one of my eplaya heroes, don't you?

from ms. longlanks, in the Red Tent yesterday:
ok mr not much of a sense of humor about the name gag...sorry! geez.

perhaps with your attitude the best thing would be to stay out of the red tent altogether :) sounds like you and menstruating women just may not mix so well. at least for the women seeking sanctuary in someplace called the red tent...have you read the book? it's good actually, very interesting.

i never suggested being on your period was an excuse. nor did i ask to have my ass kissed. i simply suggested that someone who didn't know what femprods were might not be wise to engage more deeply than serving the goddess with foot rubbing and affirmations. but hey, if you think you can handle, by all means, piss off the bleeding women, i'll be very entertained by the results, i'm sure!
