Ahhh, so many memories of the so many people. Like Sooz (who I'm assuming is the same from Terminally Ill) And Jas and Kurt and Ron and Alex (who's still in the Navy, and probably will be for life) And finding a source code for Ivory BBS and ripping it to shreds to create other B(BS) programs. And Del Kaiser, and Premier BBS and oh well, I s'pose I could go on forever, but then, what's the sense in that. Good to see so many people from the "Good??? Ol' days"

Last I heard, that little bastard was in prison.
Yeah, he's 37 and doing time for grand theft auto and cyber-terrorism (he used a laptop in a moving vehicle).

BILL!
BILL YOU SONOFAGUN!
Bill and I wrote the beginnings of a BBS program called "Juggernaut". The setup utility kicked major ass. Too bad we never built the software it was designed to set up!
I've not been back to Houston in 2 years (which I will remedy at the end of this month, BTW), but every time I go back and drive down Shepherd to hit some record stores, I think "What ever happened to Thrasher? He used to live out here somewhere."
Now I know.

Jimmy's groovy. He's 11 (but he tells girls he's 13). He's the same height I am (not sayin' a lot, I'm only 5'1"). He's blonde/blue, still, and really a handsome feller. I need to scan some pics, probably. He likes to act in dramatic productions, play soccer, play drums, and thinks Austin is heaven.
He's away at Boy Scout camp this week. He starts private school (school for the academically advance, blah blah) next week. He kept falling asleep and still getting A's in public school. Besides, in private school, they don't teach the TAAS test all year, which is another rant entirely.
And thanks for askin'. :-)

I think I'd like to propose a nunnery photo album. Preferably, a "then and now" photo album.
Bill's long blonde hair brought this to mind.
That, and my receding hairline.

You'd think will all the crapola on the Internet, someone could find something interesting...well, guess not...
Anyway, Howgozit...I finally found this site (Bill made me come).
I used to be Greenleaf during the old communist...er...I mean commie days...it's was fun..*SIGH*
Anyway, I'm back and better'n ever. My new name is YODARE which is Japanese...er..for what...we'll see if we have anyone who really cares to know. My site is www.yodare.com (it's boring, but it's my little dent in the bandwidth) I created a nice little scrolling bar to remind me of the C64 days...*SIGH*
Well, take care all, I'll try to make an appearance every few minutes...or more often, if possible.
Cleotis! Nice job with WinNuns '95..er..so you planning to install WinNuns '98?? ;-)

gheeeeze.. this REALLY IS bringing back some long lost memories running into you guys... (my best story to tie to anyone here was when I was 12 years old on a spray-paint vandelism spree, spray painting cleotis' number somewhere and him getting pissed when the cops call him) ... hm... heh.. Pus Zone.. hahahaha... The 104-cleotis beatbox .. "I can fart funkytown!" "YOU can't say that!!! Uhm, you mean you can eefluviate funkytown?" ... "yeah,.... (funkytown being welll farted..) ...." hahahhaha.. and then the time Kurt (Tiger2xlc) and I called Greenleaf (Yodare) at 6am to ask him how to get a music to work for a demo .. hahahahaha ... hearing bill sctooping my sister in one of her friends apartments (bill always was the ladies man)... But what is my fondest memory of Bill Thrasher/XeonoeX? Sitting at Ronka's apartment playing Caveman Ugh-Lympics and Bill farting.. and Ronka quite casually saying "Damnit.. I gotta go stick my head in the cat box to get a breath of fresh air now" ... God.. to be a kid again. Did Ramber ever die? :) And whatever became of Mr. Bill (Bill Board BBS) the one who had a monitor in every room of his house and a button to disconnect users? (heh, anyone remember that crappy SFU, Sysops For Unification?? hahahaha what a joke that was) And how come so many of the old Commodore 64 bbs'ers turned out gay? I've like diddled 5 or 6 of them... :)

It was the cat that farted... not me... what Ronka really said was, geeze that nasty old cat, now I gotta stick my head up Jason's ass to get a breath of fresh air. And there was much rejoicing.

Yodare, thanks for the compliment. I've been working on Webnune 98 for quite some time now. It's not where I'd like it to be, but it's certainly getting there, little by little.
My next addition to WebNuns will most likely be a large warez section, in which WebNuns users can trade all sorts of illegal, pirated software. I'm also considering creating a "WebNuns Ate My Balls" section for the family to enjoy.
Thanks again for complimenting my programming prowess, and I hope you return often!
(Cleotis, looking around to see Fang's reaction, briefly ponders the remote possibility that he could have just become the first victim of a mighty new "WEBNUNS MCI" feature. Then, he ducks to avoid the shoe that Jim sails towards his noggin.)

PANTHER! You remember my farting "Funkytown" on Power 104?
The jock there, Elvis Duran, is my radio idol. He's in New York City now, ya know? Elvis Duran is quite possilbly the world finest radio personality.
I still have that on tape somewhere, along with a cassette I made for Rail called "Pharting around with the Phuque Philter"... Back when I worked at 93Q, Rail and I had a discussion about how broadcast delays work. Somehow I never slipped the tape to him.
Geez, I had forgotten all of that stuff!
Sombeody call Ronka and tell him and Rambler to get their butts over here!

Hey Cleo, RONKA is recently involved with a female type person, and no longer considers the internet a way of life (the traitor) and Rambler..... well, who the hell knows what happened to Mark. If I see Ron anytime soon though, I will let him know that his presence was requested..

I'm back...for a brief while....or maybe shorter...
I can remember PM calling me at 6am (I think it was earlier) and not waking me...hell, I was a vampire during the summer time... Slept all day and worked all night..on my old 300...no wait..1200bps modem.. Man, I was smoking. The old 1670 cost me $175...then some bozo found a way to make it cheaper...the price dropped to, like, $25.
So, does anyone on this list (or anyone within the sound of my voice...errr...hey, Cleotis!! Add sound!!) still use their old C-64 for anything other than replacing the broken leg on the couch?? I still have my C-128 and a crap load of software for it.
Oh...and, YES, I'm in Singapore as my info so implies. :-) I'm probably the longest distance from anyone on WN95. Anyone else here overseas??
WAMB (WebNuns Ate My Balls) should be a big hit...a real family oriented kinda site. And that illegal/pirate warez section needs to get implemented ASAP...I need Win98 and Office97 (cracked!) ;-)
Hmmm...wonder if someone were to actually, per say, crack Win95...think it would be smaller?? or faster???
Well, I'm off for a few....YOU CAN WAKE UP NOW! ;-)

Because your a special kinda guy Alex.
Actually, the only remaining part of my original C=64 system that I still have is my color 1702 monitor which I use as a TV (when hooked up the ol VCR, you get a great picture!) I recently remembered this relec in the attic when my TV decided to go south for the summer.

I think I can safely speak for Cleo when I say that the "Thank you Lady Ninja" thing was something I... er, he did just because I, er he thought it would be funny to make the user think, for a split second, that the bo-rad thought you were somebody else.

Lady Ninja is a hottie. She cut my hair today - for real.
I go into one of these $10 cuts places down by Vandy - a trendy part of town, and this stunning asian beauty motions me towards the chair.
"How much off the top?" were her only words to me, but that was okay. M mind wandered places it shouldn't have, and if she'd have started talking to me about work, or my kids, or whatever, she'd have ruined it.
As I was leaving and admiring my new do, I asked her name (on the odd chance I could get her again when I returned in 6 weeks).
It was Ninja.
"Ninja?"
"NO! INJA!"
"Inja. Oh, okay."
Boy was I embarassed.

Something like that happened to me in Madison, WI.
I was on a business trip, and had half-a-day off because the butt-head clients moved a meeting to the next day.
So I wandered the city, looking at stuff. I found a small hair cuttery, and figured, whatthehell, I needed it. Inside was the most gorgeous caucasian woman, maybe 19 years old, hair of red, fairly complected, who gave me one of the most wonderful shampoos of my life, then proceeded to cut my hair while my knees were still rubbery. I am very happily married, but I tellya, the whole experience was soooo weirdly erotic.
But all the time, I couldn't get over the fact that she had, like, 14 facial piercings -- ears, nose, eyebrows -- a bunch of tattoos, and something bolted through her tongue. Woo. My fantasies always ground to a halt at the envisioned bedside...
..does the hardware come off, or not?

This was in the middle of Wisconsin? Geez, nowhere is safe from the body piercing/bodyart/brand-myself-with-a-curling-iron fad.
As for the hardware, well, they CAN take it all out. The tongue thing closes up pretty quick, though, so that almost always stays in.

Yeah, that whole shampoo / haircut thing can be, as you say, "wildly erotic".
I wonder why I don't get my hair cut more often than I do?
Wait, I remember. Because last time I got my hair cut, it was by a dude in an Arkansas Razorback sweatshirt and a holey pair of jeans. That's why!
Those hot lookin' babes should charge more than the ugly dudes. Problem is, lots of times those hot lookin babes can't cut hair!

Well, it has been 6 years since I was there. And since it was where my car broke down and I was stranded for two days, I can't say that it was the most pleasant of my road trip memories. I did like Manotowoc and Two Rivers though. Actually, it was in Madison where I got rid of my C=128d (and all the k-rad schtuff that went with it.
