trust me on this one, the pictures don't do them justice, circa May 27th
or so. I ate oysters which were less fried than his feet on that trip. I
am stocking the house with SPF40 and a gallon of aloe vera should he
return......

Ok, that was weird.

Actually I love sock puppets, especially Personaobscura and Mikey's
various socks.

Dave

Have no idea who "Mikey" is, but thanks, I guess. As for "socks", you don't
have Clue One. But that's what makes you so much fun to play with.

Don't ever change.

Ah huh...... sure..... If you don't know Mikey you shouldn't be here.
Really!

And, for everyone else: See, ROFF is alive and well, suffering through
the Fortenberrys and the Wolfgangs........and all the unecessary
socks..... d;o)

Usenet has been critically ill for quite awhile now. We should
regard its passing as a blessing and remember it fondly.

There's a roff on Facebook and if Google+ ever reaches critical
mass there will be a roff there as well.

roff is dead, long live roff.

Poor Wolfgang. He'll have to find somewhere else to be an asshat.

Wolfgang wasn't the problem. Wolfgang is a five-foot-nothing nothing
who is considered a friendly, fellow fly fisherman by those who have
met him, including myself. Giles is the problem, Wolfgang's pseudo-
anonymous alter ego with the throw away address and the poisonous
Usenet persona.

Hubris ain't so bad.....if the ingredients are organic, you buy them
in bulk, and do all your own prep.

It's that prepackaged, factory made **** that'll **** up your day.

you.

Now that's more like it, Facebook could never replace my dear old
loveable roff. I've missed it so. /s/

1. Never give up the opportunity to take a ****.

2. Never waste an erection, even if you're alone.

3. Never, ever, trust a fart.

Apropos of #3, I recently endured 11, yes 11, days of diarrhea, the first
week of it I didn't dare get more than 50' from the bathroom so was
trapped at home unable to get to my doctor or a drugstore for Immodium or
Lomotil. The method of getting to the bathroom when an attack occured was
what us old farmers used to call "doing the green apple quickstep".
After the first week I was able to make a real quick trip to town to get
the necessary stuff to slow things down. (which, btw, didn't work) Found
out later through my massage lady that some sort of virus was going
around and I wasn't alone in doing this dance of doo doo. How nice,
misery loves company!
