This is, of course, bullshit. If such things could be measured you would probably find that, on average, a person born in the 1st world has more opportunities now than at any time in the past. We also have more TV, radio, newspapers etc spouting bullshit and pointing out our failures to confuse and depress us. Why do you feel worthless? For magazines are essentially trojan horses for getting the reader to look at advertisements, just as the only purpose of commercial television is to use the guise of entertainment to round up an audience to sit through the commercials. Why do magazine articles break up after two pages, to be "continued on page 132"? To get the reader to turn through the next sixty pages, all while looking at the ads. None of this is going to help you get better. We took the quiz to see if we were in fact boring. I had long suspected that this was the case and the proof was give when I scored 24 out of a possible high of 30 boringness points. I don't ever wanna be scary to you or anything. cw, the freak that he is, was only 19. In the hopes of hitting the mark, they constantly engage in overkill, as if their audience could never accept anything but affirmations of what they already are. This gets very boring very fast. None of this is going to help you get better. Before I worked at McDonald's, Collie and I ate White Castles. We'd drive in and order like fifteen - ten or eleven for him, a few for me. I'd feed them to him while he was driving. I wanted to just hold you and not think about anything else for a minute. Then we'd go to Dunkin' Donuts for chocolate creme-filleds and Munchkinds. >Am I so unhappy/unsatisfied in general because I refuse to be deceived >and buy into the whole game and play my dirty little part, or is it >that I've just gotten so used to getting screwed that I actually avoid >success... none of this is going to help you get better. The grainy home movie shows Lucy and Desi, young and happy together. They sit in the convertible limousine, waving to the crowds of admirers. A lot of times they'll try and do stuff but end up just sitting and staring at nothing. They look so young, so in love... the feisty redhead and the hot-blooded Cuban romantic. >My friend says its 'cause I don't want to really be happy and face >having to do something with my life. None of this is going to help you >get better. My eye, which is at the tip of my penis, captures it all. Why do you hurt so much? I recall being dismembered during the trench fighting of World War I. My coolness knows no bounds. I am so far beyond the normal definition of "cool" that I look down upon the hipsters as self-deluded flocks drenched in an all-consuming geek juice. You cannot know me, you are not cool enough. Fear my low temperatures, my icy stares, for everything is transparent and you are revealed to me as a naked, shameful cheese-head. Oh, but you tried so hard didn't you. Don't worry. I noticed. All of this is so far from the ideal. From my own experiences I can see how such a feeling of 'not deserving' can be altered by the psyche into a feeling of 'this is all bullshit and I don't even want to take part', and when we look for the evidence we naturally find it. None of this is going to help you get better. Most of the poetry is kinda the same, and an attempt at therapy - the desire to get something out of one's system and not so much to create work that transcend the medium and develop relevance on several different planes. No, most poetry sucks. Most poets are bad poets and need to take their Bad Poets' Society card-carrying selves and die their little turburculosis-deaths. Frame 238: three shots ring out in quick succession. A cloud of blood explodes from Desi's head and a flap of the Conga singer's scalp peels back. Lucy cradles Desi's head in her lap and huddles over his body as the Secret Servicemen run to aid them. None of this is going to help you get better. It is the end of America's most beloved comedy team. Who can say what new wonders they might have created if not for those shots from the grassy knoll? 1/13/94 1:30pm. A brand new, bright-shiny day. Later, I will go out for coffee. None of this is going to help you get better. But then again, a lot of it is bullshit. None of this is going to help you get better. -Mad Doctor Leroy "You're fucked up."

I am interested in writing for CDC... in short, i have writtten some cool stuff that you might be interested in... here is somehting i have written recently: How To Harass a Real Estate Agent --By Panama Joe First, let's start out with *WHY* you would want to harass a real estate agent. My only advice is to be creative. don't be afraid of resorting to wild conspiracy theories, or reasonings that would sound best as Inquirer headlines (i.e. Elvis made me do it so i could bear his alien child, etc..). sorry abt all the 's, but i did an ascii upload... bletch.. oh well.. feel free to call my board or call me voice <314-862-1342> thanks alot.. l8r +=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*+= | .-----. .-. .-. .-. .---------. | + T-files | .---' | | | | | | `---. .---' Suburban + * that we | `---. | `---' | .-| |-. | | Highly * o wrote `---. | | .---. | .-| | | | /-. | | Intelligent o o because .---' | | | | | | |/ / | | Teenagers o * we're `-----' `-' `-' | / `-' * + k00l. \ / WHQ (806) 763-SHIT + | | | | =+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*=+=*>o<*+= Our greatest thanks go out to those pioneers of the T-File, S. Ratte and cDc, for giving us the inspiration to write these files. Without them, we'd be nothing but bored BBS-surfers without any real purpose in our lives. Thanx, guys! And with that, we'll sign off this SHIT introdutory file. Be on the look-out for a lot more in the near future!
