Strom Thurmond is dead. His black heart has finally
stopped beating. He
can finally finish decomposing.
Happy, happy day!!!

Except for the 60 years of sperm donations he
made. He had only to squirt out a few more
quarts to break Lester Maddox's record, then
he decided to retire as world champion sperm
donor(*), undefeated.
(Ironically, on his 100th birthday, one of his
daughters announced that she was pregnant,
which produced his first ever grandchild just
a week or two ago.)
(Doubly ironically, the woman who baby-sat the
young Strom just died last year. What the hell
kind of yoghurt do these people eat?)
(*) except, possibly, by Man-o'-War.

Yes. It was lifted but not from any ad that WE know
of. It may have
once been used in an ad but we've never seen such an
ad. Sure would
love to.

"A few years back."
Couldn't name that year... or the people pressing the
"suit"... because
then somebody would be able to look up the article and
find that it
never existed except in J'lahn's tormented little head.

What a shitty fake! J'lahn, you must be the second most
jealous kook
out there. Couldn't you have at least displayed enough
imagination to
come up with a NAME for who is pressing this mighty
suit? "A group of
concerned citizens." Odd, but Reuters reporters
don't *usually* write
like vindictive cranks. Besides which, J.R. "Bob"
Dobbs is the Living
Avatar of Slack, and Norm Appleton is a cartoon character.
The only
similarity is that they look like squares, smoke a pipe,
and grin
insanely. That describes the male models in about a
quarter of all the
ads in American magazines from 1945 to 1967. (Some of
whom WERE "Bob".)
It's a moot point anyway, but it's interesting to see
that J'lahn is
still spending hours and hours on wishful thinking like
this.
If only we could put J'lahn and purple together in one
room. It'd be
just like "The Three Christs of Ypsilanti,"
minus one "Christ". What I
would give for a recording of those particular two super-geniuses
arguing about the origin of "Bob."
We can guess that it would be a very REPETITIVE conversation.

On the contrary, it was one of the best-written spoof
I've seen here
in years. Better than anything YOU'VE posted here in
I don't know how
long. Are you totally retarded and brain-dead? Get
over your
faggy-assed reactionary snit, you pathetic worm and
wake up to the
fact that the guy GOT OVER IT, APOLOGIZED, and is now
making more
intelligent and better-written contributions than almost
anybody else
in the group. YOU REACTIONARY FUCKHEAD JACKASS, WAKE
UP! If ANYBODY
ELSE had written it, me for example, you'd have put
it on the website
in a hong kong minute. If I had even one smidge of
respect left for
you, the STUPID STUPID response which I deleted would
have stubbed it
out. STOP BEING SO FUCKING IDIOTIC!!!! YOU IDIOT.
Save you "jealous
kook" bullshit for people who ARE jealous kooks.
I'm beginning to
think Jaylon is more of a subgenius than you are and
the JEALOUS KOOK
IS YOU. If you were here right now I'd kick your ass
CLEAN OFF. And
don't even bother to respond to this before you remember
HOW OFTEN YOU
HAVE REALIZED HOW RIGHT I WAS AND HOW STUPID YOU WERE.

From http://jlwn777.home.att.net/index111.html
In the summer of 1980, I worked at the local newspaper
delivering
papers to people who didn't get their papers and carriers
that were
shorted. I spent a good deal of time in the car and
found that I began
to see 111 imbedded in the numbers on the odometer and
tripometer at
least once a day. The first few times it happened, it
didn't seem odd,
but the problem was that it kept happening. Somehow
I would look at
the mileage indicators just as they had turned to 111.
I then got a couple of addresses to deliver papers to
that had 111 as
a part of the address. Now I was starting to get a little
spooked. At
this point, the experience I was having was very private
- I hadn't
told a soul. I approached a woman at the newspaper who
was into
numerology and astrology and asked her what it meant
if someone kept
seeing the same number all the time. She said "I
don't know, but I
keep seeing 222 all the time and it's really starting
to piss me off
!!!"
I thought I was dreaming. How could she be saying this?
I hadn't told
anyone about my experience until that moment. I said
"You're not gonna
believe this, but I was going to ask you why I keep
seeing 111 all the
time!" We were both a little scared by this. The
probability that we
would both be having such a similar strange experience
seemed very
low. At that moment, I began to think that I was experiencing
something paranormal - something that could not be explained
with
conventional scientific tools.
