Wow, this is almost like SFNET by Demi Monde on 2003-08-03 02:25:10

But not really, because it's still the goddamn twenty first century, which I hate and I want to make go away. I want a refund on this stupid century, because it obviously sucks (see: ShrubCo., War on Terra, et. al. cetera.) And I still don't have a hovercraft. When I was little they used to say we'd all have hovercrafts when the years started with 20's instead of 19's. I'm high.

  Yeah, I've been wondering why I don't have a jetpack yet. And why I still have to do my laundry in water instead of just recycling and replicating new clothes.

We're all driving rocket ships
And talking with our minds
Wearing turquoise jewelry
And standing in soup lines

  Oh, yeah, I remember that. At least we've managed to get the soup line bit down. Very reassuring.

  My friend was performing a creditable version of "The Ballad of Sam Stone" the other night, and if there's a more Johnprinius lyric than "there's a hole in daddy's arm where the money goes" then I don't know what it is.

  Hey, we've got time travel and teleportation (thank you, New Scientist), even if it's only for subatomic particles at the moment. That makes it the future as far as I'm concerned. Even if we don't have jetpacks. I miss SFNet sometimes. A substantial number of the people there were tweakers, nasties, and weirdos, but to this day I've never found anyplace else that had such good live chat. What delicious flights of fancy were there.... *sentimental sigh*

Well, it doesn't take a (quasi-futuristic and Jetsonian) rocket scientist - or even a logic expert - to see that there just might be a causal connection at work here. 03: DEMI MONDE

  Nope, this is somebody else (keeping SFNet handle under wraps because, well, there *were* nasties and weirdos there). But the tweaking and weirding would make for good live chat, I concur. ;) DM, I never thought of you as a nasty. I'll have to take your word for it about the tweaking, though. Weird, without a doubt, but wearing it like a badge of honor!

  I agree with you Demi - that mix made the chat what it was - and even now I still pine for those 11pm java binges with people that would at least push my brain just that little bit further than it was willing to go on its own. Funny how we all seem to be gravitating back to re-connect to it - it was many of those tweakers, nasties and weirdo's that made it the unique place that it was - even if you wanted to club them over the head sometimes ;)

  Tweakers, sure, can't have high-speed chat without tweaking on something. Weirdos, the same. Nasties, though... they're the reason I quit hanging round.

  Luckily I just left the country so the Nasties never made me quit (although I can't say I blame you). Pity there wasn't a way just to keep the good ones together. I guess I still have my slightly cracked rose tinted glasses on about it - I became rather fond of those Tweakers and Nasties many of them were rather good to me. And god - in hindsite why the hell did I EVER pick that handle?????

  Yeah, there used to be a "blog" here once, too. Hey, other SFNet weirdoes. We should have a big SFNet reunion -- except with blackjack, and hookers. And forget about the SFNet reunion.
