The Epoch of Nausea

[How was everyone's April Fool's Day? Did anyone get tricks pulled on them? I did; my whole town did. In fact, the trick we were subjected to began on March 31st. It snowed a foot or more--isn't it Spring? Okay, so I'm a crybaby. But, then at 12:15am on April 1st, the power went off. It remained off until exactly 12:00am April 2nd. Coincidence? I think not.]

[Enough about whiney ol' me, there are tokens to be had. First, 7 tokens to the post that will surely be turned into a board game coming to a store near you.]

Subj: My Theory
From: RbdWombat
My theory on why aliens give us the world's supply of cotton.

Cotton used to be picked by hand until the invention of the Cotton Gin.
Gin is half of Gin and Tonic
Hair Tonic is used to Grow Hair
Bald People Need to Grow Hair
Archie Bunker was a Bald Person
Archie Bunker was on All in the Family
All in the Family was on TV
I have my VCR on my TV
My VCR eats Video Tapes
My dog eats Video Tapes
My dog eats anything
Real Fat People eat anything
Real Fat People can't go up flights of stairs
Crippled people can't go up stairs
Crippled people are in wheelchairs
Wheelchairs have wheels
Bicycles have Wheels
You can race bicycles
You can race turtles (Although it isn't that popular of a sport, YET)
Turtles are in shells
Seas have shells
She sells seashells by the seashore
Who was She? She was an alien.

It's that simple.

Subj: Re: Oldstyle, Freestyle, Random Jamdom!!!!
From: Lavoris49
Sometimes I think that other people are way too nice to me. Whenever I'm sick they're always worried and they want me to get better. And they seem to all think that I'm a really nice person, even though I'm not. Take my family: they never talk about me behind my back when I'm not around, but whenever one of my brothers isn't there, the other brother and I promptly start ripping on him. And I know they aren't lying to me about this. They
just don't think there's anything wrong with me, even though lots of stuff is wrong with me. I guess they prefer to cut me down to my face. I don't know. And my little brother is generally accused of being manipulative in my family -- my mom and my older brother are really paranoid about that -- but I'm probably the most manipulative one. I pretend to be nice, but I'm really a snake, and I seem more trustworthy that way to my mom and my
brothers, causing them to always take my side over each others'. Boy, I'm a bastard. Pretend you didn't see this. It'll ruin everything. I really am nice. I am.

Subj: Re: games......he he he
From: ARTochsen
(CortJstr)
nobody ever IM's me, I feel so unloved, and when I feel unloved you shall feel my rath!!!<<

Anyone know what a rath feels like? I think it's something like an old Irishman or something. Why would anyone want to be felt by an old Irishman? Well, but then maybe an old Irish woman might. Guess it might beat Hell out of peeling potatos all day. Or is that "potatoes?" Wait a minute. Is Dan Quayle Irish? And do the Irish peel potatoes? Or was it feel potatoes? Potato field? If potatoes were magnetic, would this be a magnetic
potato field? I wonder if anyone has ever been feeled in a potato field. Has anybody feeled a potato? I wonder if the Irish do that too. Maybe they DO peel their potatoes! I don't really know too much. I seem to forget lots of things when the sun goes down.

[I'm not quite sure why Jami is getting 5 tokens for this post. The content of her post is quite serious; however the guy was caught, so there's a bright spot. She also complimented either the Random Game (unlikely), Hecklers Online (possibly), America Online (yeah, right), or the interaction that is possible with a modem. You can choose your own answer to that; Jami, on the other hand, will be out celebrating her return to the winners list.]
Subj: Yet another reason why humans suck........
From: JamiJR
Are human beings just naturally stupid or do they practice it? Some drunk drivers just crashed thru our fence and hit the trailer in which my brother Todd was sleeping. He could've been killed. Luckily, he got out without a scratch.
And not only that, but where they crashed isn't all that far from my bedroom where I was at the computer.
I'm just glad Todd's alive and unhurt.
God, is this the only place I can find decent human beings?
Love,
A Sad and Disillustioned,

[The following winner would not have been possible without the contributions of both entries. I was thinking about making them share 6 tokens; but, I feel somewhat generous so 6 to each.]
Subj: Back In High School
Original From: MrMrsStry
Reply From: MaLkNoX420

The Ms. asked these questions:
1. Why are all female gym teachers lezbians?
-'cause all male gym teachers are dorks
2. Why do photographers print the pictures of us giving the finger? You'd think by now they'd be wise to it and look for it.
-they "fuzz" out the finger in the pictures you can get at Disneyland or Carowinds of yourself on the ride; I think that sucks.
3. Why is it that you can't smoke on school grounds, but the teachers have a smoking lounge?
-because smoking is bad for kids but good for adults, imparting valuable vitamins and minerals grownups need to survive.
4. What is the point of taking the Constitution test?
-to prove that the school system has successfully fooled you into thinking that the government really cares about the individual's rights.
5. What is the point of taking gym class?
-gym class was devised to traumatize fat kids.
6. Why was I made fun of for being in the Media Club?
-because you were a big dork ;)
or
-because you went to school with a bunch of ignorant jocks and preps who should have been lined up and shot before they bred.
7. Why should I have attended my reunion when I hated all them people 10 years ago?
-to line up and shoot the ones who have not yet bred.
or
-to make them all jealous or your incredibly successful career, incredibly toned bod, and incredibly fabulous life.

[Just this week in the Random Game, there have been missing signatures quotes, signature quotes that have symbols unfit for aol2.7 eyes, and signature quotes with sexual innuendoes. Among them all was Conade's 5 token winner.]

[The final winner this time around is MitchRK. He gets 10 tokens; and to find out the reason why, read the following two posts.]
Subj: Light reading
From: MitchRK
Mub.

Whenever I work out at the gym (note: I am a big, fat, lazy, slothful, tubby, fat, jellybutt who never works out in real life, so this is just a load of stuff) I like to get into a bit of a competition, on the treadmill, for instance, with my best friend Willard Thayer (there is no such person, actually). About a week ago he and I took my lawyer (non-existent) to my father's restaurant (my father doesn't really have a restaurant) and we all
had a contest to see who could eat the most fried shrimp (my doctor has ordered me not to eat fried food) in an hour. I have only lost twice in maybe twenty such contests (never happened), but this last time I was feeling rather full after my salad (salad? I don't think so), so I gave up after about six shrimp (not possible). The prize for winning this contest is $1000 from the losers, which I fortunately had in cash (sure). Yesterday
Willard and I played a match of one-on-one basketball (see first note) and I almost lost my Porsche (what, are you kidding? they won't even let me have one of their keychains). Maybe I get a little too competative sometimes (you got boardwalk? forget it, I quit), but we only do these things for fun (I hate sports).

Subj: Re: Quote this!
From: MitchRK
Mub.

>>I'm trying to expand my quotation collection, so if anyone knows a great quote--here's the place to post it. If you know the source, please put it.>>

My favorite quote is by a man named Preston G. Hidzerwiller IV who said, and I quote, "Ham!" Well, at least that's the gist, anyway.

[Well, I suppose the reason for his token amount may not be initially evident. However, he did quote a man who said "Ham!" rather than "Spam!" so those 10 tokens are quite well earned. Congrats to all the winners! To hear me whine more about my 24 hours without power be sure to look at the Random Board. If you happen upon this winners list 5 months after its posting, don't worry, I'll probably still be there whining.]
