Screwed Press Conference Room

~ratthing Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (14:50) seed

thank you. please be seated. the recent events that have transpired here on the spring have brought attention to one fact: the american people want us to continue to serve them here on the spring. it is time to put politics aside and focus on the needs of the american people. and the boers. now, are there any questions?

~KitchenManager Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (15:01) #1

Sure!

~ratthing Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (15:25) #2

yes, did you have a question?

~wer Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (18:14) #3

Heck no! I've gots lot more than that...

~PT Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (18:19) #4

Well, what are they?

~wer Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (18:34) #5

Well, you know, the first one is: Can any of the posts in here actually be used in a court of law?

~wolf Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (18:45) #6

haha!!

~ratthing Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (19:03) #7

i am very glad you asked that question. i think the american people are technically in favor of having some of these posts used in a court of law. now, i also feel that we need to examine the issue further from several angles and determine what the best course of action would be in regards to the technical use of postings in a court of law. it could be that this is not a good thing, though i do not want to make is sound like it is bad because it is not. however the simple fact that the american people are concerned about these issues makes it important, and i am glad that you brought the topic up. next question?

~wolf Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (19:06) #8

wow, ray, where'd you learn to talk like a lawyer? *grin* i think the danger of using these posts in a court of law would be from using them out of context. you know, a lawyer's favorite tactic.

~ratthing Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (19:16) #9

now that is a very good point, young lady. i have strongly been in favor of using and/or not enabling the functionality of such items in the past. i have said before that such items used "out" of "context" might prove to be problematic. technically, this is an issue of grave concern for us here in screwed, and we feel that the american people deserve a fair shake in determining how they want these things dealt with. next?

~wolf Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (19:17) #10

haha!!

~KitchenManager Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (20:11) #11

Then, Mr. Lopez, may we take it that you are, in effect, in favor of the aforementioned plan outlining the proposed steps to take in any potential future setting of such circumstances? And, if not, could you elaborate on your postion should such eventualities arise, either directly or indirectly?

~ratthing Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (20:57) #12

exactly. as i have said, the american people are in effect taking a very proactive approach in these manners. John Rockefeller once said, "i beleive that every right implies a responsibility, every opportunity, an obligation, every possession, a duty." i feel that the american people have given us a mandate to continue on as careful a course as possible, given the most caring and humane ways we can think of.

~riette Thu, Dec 10, 1998 (00:57) #13

And how do the American people plan to reconcile the concept of 'caring and humane ways' with their Boer neighbours?

~ratthing Thu, Dec 10, 1998 (08:53) #14

i am glad you asked that question young lady. this concept is in dire need of reconciliation, in much the same way that many key and important concepts are. our boer neighbors are very important to us, and the mandate given to us by the american people demonstrates that such a solid and lasting relationship is a key component to developing a kinder and gentler approach to most cases of such magnitude. next question?

~KitchenManager Tue, Dec 15, 1998 (00:09) #15

When are we gonna roast the goat?

~riette Tue, Dec 15, 1998 (00:20) #16

At the next koedoedrolsverspoeg competition.

~KitchenManager Tue, Dec 15, 1998 (00:28) #17

Speaking of such gatherings, what would you suggest be done to insure the continuance of said festivities for the following generations, and if this isn't feasible, what are your thoughts concerning the loss of such traditions to the recent Boer/American confederation?

~PT Tue, Dec 15, 1998 (11:42) #18

I'd just like to know what that word meant. It looked like one of those towns in Wales.

~autumn Tue, Dec 15, 1998 (22:57) #19

No, it didn't have nearly enought L's to be Welsh.

~riette Wed, Dec 16, 1998 (00:46) #20

ha-ha, Autumn!! And NO NO NO! The koedoedrolverspoeg competition is an important annual Boer event. Anybody can take part in seeing who can spit a kudu turt furthest.

~KitchenManager Wed, Dec 16, 1998 (08:30) #21

that's done with watermelon seeds (pips) and/or tobacco juice here in the states... not to mention, Autumn, there weren't any y's... in Welsh, it would probably look something like kyldyndrollvyrlspoich...

~riette Wed, Dec 16, 1998 (09:17) #22

LOL!!! But $hit, I'd rather spit kudu turts than tobacco juice. Foul!

~PT Wed, Dec 16, 1998 (14:21) #23

I'd be reluctant to put either one in my mouth.

~KitchenManager Wed, Dec 16, 1998 (18:38) #24

and I've had much worse in mine...

~riette Thu, Dec 17, 1998 (03:12) #25

Like what sort of worse things???

~KitchenManager Thu, Dec 17, 1998 (23:45) #26

huh? you talking to me?

~jgross Fri, Dec 18, 1998 (00:17) #27

wer's had in his mouth snake venom, fire ant juice, leftover glandular excretions from old worn out scrubwomen right after the scrubbing, tire iron lickings from the hazardous waste site down the block from wer he lives, chocolate malts that grew hairs on the chest of the glass he drank it out of, small scale babysitter farts that traveled the length of the room and landed in the cereal he was eating.....this is only a 1000th of the worst stuff wer's had in his mouth that I can remember.....Terry and Ray now lots more.....Stacey has seen him merrily suck on and seriously swallow useless lifeforms from other galaxies that when those lifeforms were touched to a diamond (that Stacey's grandmother used to own), that diamond melted into a puddle of naked booze.

~riette Fri, Dec 18, 1998 (00:49) #28

�practically falling off my chair with laughter!!!!!� Jim, there is something I would love to know. What is a scrubwoman?????

~PT Fri, Dec 18, 1998 (11:43) #29

Female Janitor.

~stacey Fri, Dec 18, 1998 (20:16) #30

I thought they were women living in the scrub brush of vegitation on the outskirts of Nambia...

~riette Sat, Dec 19, 1998 (00:12) #31

No, those are bushwoman - I know, because my husband always says being married to me has taught him one thing: you can drag a bushwoman out of the bush, but you can't drag the bush out of the bushwoman. So, a scrubwoman must be something else. A cleaning lady perhaps?

~KitchenManager Sat, Dec 19, 1998 (11:07) #32

yes, you are correct... and I thought that you could at least shave the bush off a bushwoman...

~PT Sat, Dec 19, 1998 (11:11) #33

You might want to obtain her consent first. Anyone who flourishes in such an environment, is probably pretty handy with a weapon.

~riette Sun, Dec 20, 1998 (01:33) #34

It is a figurative bush, my dear.

~KitchenManager Sun, Dec 20, 1998 (02:28) #35

and I was hoping for a fingerative one...

~riette Sun, Dec 20, 1998 (15:50) #36

I thought guys didn't like literal or fingerative bushes....

~PT Sun, Dec 20, 1998 (16:24) #37

Variety is the spice of life!!! Vive la Difference!!

~KitchenManager Sun, Dec 20, 1998 (22:45) #38

that would be lickable or fingerative bushes...

~KitchenManager Sun, Dec 20, 1998 (22:46) #39

Hey, does this mean that you be shaved smooth, Ree?

~riette Mon, Dec 21, 1998 (05:16) #40

�blush� I'm pretty smooth, yeah. But I don't really have a choice in the matter - it is how nature intended it. My sister got my share of the back hair and thick eyebrows, and other exotic hairs when we were made; I got alot of head hair, and practically nothing elsewhere. Like a mutant rat, really!

~PT Mon, Dec 21, 1998 (15:25) #41

Like I said," Vive la Difference". Life would be boring if everyone was the same.

~KitchenManager Sun, Jun 13, 1999 (23:53) #42

I would feel that most of the conversations that take place in those areas of The Spring that do have the conferencing system would in almost their entirety be in existence but the special prosecutor, the court, and, I think, the screwed participants are sufficiently familiar with the conferencing system to know where the conferencing system exists and to know the situation in terms of the conferencing process but I feel, although the process has not been undertaken yet in preparation of the material to abide by the court decision, really, what the answer to that question is.

~MarciaH Wed, Aug 25, 1999 (20:22) #43

William, would it be too much trouble to translate that statement into English? (Perhaps it's been messed up by telnet...?!)
