Then Modemac, he sez, he sez:

You dare me? YOU DARE ME?!?

How can YOU, puny mortal, actually think that you can goad me and trick
me into doing your bidding?!? I am almost FAR WISER than you can even
comprehend, and your silly taunts mean NOTHING to me! In fact, I am
going to cross-post that message RIGHT NOW, just to SHOW YOU how little I
care about you!

I know you won't post this message to alt.slack to see how different I
am in email compared to public Usenet. In fact, I DARE you to post it!

I AM GREATER THAN "BOB" HIMSELF!!!

Smarter, too!

[and then I sez, I sez, well, nothin'. I just does it.]

But you don't! People on a.s. rant, rave, & gibber of crossposting to Peoria
and back _but nobody ever does it_. At least not to anywhere interesting.
I tried to crosspost a flame war on pornography on alt.religion.christian to
alt.religion.kibology once, just to see what would happen, but my newsreader
screwed it up and I felt kinda guilty about it, even though there really isn't
much of a topic to stick to on a.r.k.

BUT--

But those of you who can crosspost, how much greater is your guilt in
neglecting to do so-- you who post constantly and talk about Jihad and
apocalyptic battles and pouring boiling oil on the teeming masses-- *you*
carry the ignominious mark of _hypocrisy_, and I would not take your place for
all the net.legends.FAQs written to your glory.

Don't just sit there twisting your fingers in angst while dust settles on you
and Kudzu grows over you-- damn it, somebody DO SOMETHING for once.

...
Er, sorry. Got a little carried away there.

Zackly! How much more interesting they'd be after applying a little social
engineering. We could import entire threads of back-and-forth ranting. Let
THEM do the busy work, and we reap the rewards of gibbering rants.

Carry on.

Rec.sport.golf .....

is FULL of PINKS who gladly spend $1,000 and up for a SET OF HIGH TECH
CLUBS they go out with and HIT THE SAME BAD SHOTS only LONGER!

And if they'll do that, they'll also send a measly $30 to

P. O. Box 140306
Dallas, TX 75214

For some REAL GOLF LESSONS.

BTW, r.s.g is a group that ORIGINATES those PATHETIC PYRAMID SCAMS.

Let the Flames Commence .... TREVINOISTS.

I only spent $450 bucks for my high tech clubs. That includes 1I-9I,PW,SW,LW,
and 9-deg, 11-deg, 3W, 5W. What's a "pink" anyway? "Shout" that have read "punk"?
I do occasionally hit some of my same old bad shots further. But I am also hitting
my good shots longer too, and straighter, and more often.

I, on the other hand, tee off on par 4s with a five iron I picked up
for three bucks at a garage sale. It's a left-handed job, but I'm a
righty. Something about the imbalance enables me to place the ball
within a 5 foot radius of my target over 250 yards away, leaving me
with a pea-shooter to the hole ....

And if you want to know what a PINK is, go to work and look around
....

I'm still not sure what you mean. Haven't seen anything that I
would call a "pink". Maybe there are more of them in your area...
Maybe it takes one to know one. Does it have anything to do with
blatant pathological lying? I mean, come on, you honestly expect
us to believe you can hit a 5-iron 250 yards? Give me a break.
On the other hand, if your target was, let's say: grass, and you
were hitting off of a cliff with the wind at your back, then okay,
maybe you could hit a 250 yard 5-iron, lefty, and consistently
end up 5-feet from grass.

(Kevan, disregard the following)

To the rest of r.s.g.:

Now do you see why publicity is BAD? Where do these guys come from?
Geez, you'd think that one little article in Golf Magazine wouldn't
do the group any harm. But then the next thing you know, the Raiders
tank toppers are invading us! Can somebody please show me how to set
up a kill file based on the sender's name rather than subject line?

Later, Tom

PGA GOLF is manipulated by EVIL SPACE BANKERS who bet ENTIRE GALAXIES
on the outcome of ONE PUTT.
When I put on my BONDAGE LEATHER and TIN FOIL HELMET, I block the
ORBITAL MIND CONTROL LASERS.
TITANIC THOMPSON -- scratch golfer righty or lefty.

News Express is a mail reader for WinBlows that has a killfile. Archie
for nx10b3.zip. But you'll miss ICEKNIFE, rec.sport.golfie.
