Report No. 4

Here you are, as promised, one dish of Spoo.:

Hm, number four, and Mr. Mumble hasn't arrived back to nick his, er, my, er the computer.

I discovered that Doom is installed on the computer, which surprised me, as this computer apparently uses a RISC CPU, and I didn't know there was a version of Doom for that. Still, one lives, one learns.

Has anybody seen Marcus around lately? I haven't noticed him for a while, and he doesn't seem to be posting to alt.fan.teletubbies.dipsy any more. I mean, it's not like he could have died or anything, he was safe on Babylon 5 while the big smah up over Earth way was going on.

Oh, and I also received an e-mail on this computer yesterday, but I must say it was very offensive.

to: mdunne@iol.ie
from: valen@minbarihq.gov
subject: Moron! Stop messing about!

Look you, we didn't drop the computer off at your hosue so you could mess about on Usenet the whole time, and download pictures of politicians[3], and for goodness sake stop trying to e-mail them as well. Earthforce takes a dim view of people who send suggestions like that to people like that[4], and while they can't do anything to you, you ARE making a right mess of causality. Just leave the computer there as a navigational beacon, and please stop using it's temporalcapabilities the way you are, you bloody fool.

I followed Michael Garibaldi's Get Bald Now scheme,
and lost all my hair in next to no time! I'm now
bald, and loving it.

As you can guess, I did *not* take kindly to that.
So I in my reply e-mail I threatened to tell Moyra, and that she'd duct tape him to a wall, and then get to work with her knife (the BIG knife). Er, you don't mind, do you Moyra? Last thing I want to do is annoy you.


Now: a vote. Should there be a part five? Or shall I do a Jeremy, and stop posting until I get more replies? Hmm...[5]


[1] LYTA stands for Light Year To Alien-teep.

[2] Which is a, Pune or play on words

[3] I genuinely have NO idea whatsoever at all what he's talking about here.

[4] Obviously a complete lunatic, haha, raving, doncha know...
Nothing here that's accurate, at all.

[5] This is blatantly asking for people to reply saying how wonderful they think my sense of humour is. [6]

[6] I have nothing against the occasional lie. :-)
