George,

 GP> Reasonable -- Most boards that allowed adult language in locao chat
 GP> area designated as such, didn't allow raunchy usernames, as then it's a
 GP> bad ad for the BBS if the user gets onto some nets (like FamilyNet, on
 GP> which I used to be a Mod)

  There was one local board where the users handle was expletives for the
first and last name (the F word and the S word). I left an urgent note for
the Sysop to "ban this fool".

 GP> Makers sense -- I've bnever had a problem -- I generally got upgraded
 GP> to visiting sysop status on the boards I was a regular on. . . I think
 GP> youj'd done so, too, for me, as I was the farthest you'd ever had a
 GP> dial-in call from. I was about 3,000 miles from you, via the I-90. . .
 GP> :)

  If they report glitches, they're more likely to stay in my good graces. :)

 >  GP> Rule #1: Don't be a jackass
 >  GP> Rule #2: See Rule #1

 >   Rule 1 is also "The Boss (or Spouse or Significant Other) is always

 GP> That's the original; I edited it for the context. . .

  And boss spelled backwards is double SOB. <G>

 >   I'm not the only BBS around...folks don't have to logon if they don't
 > want to.

 GP> Yup, don't like "my roof, my rules" get on out. . .

  That's what my parents told my brother. He moved out when he turned 18.
I did just before I got married.

 GP> Ouch! I'd have been suddenly very a-fearin' the Lord! (aware of His
 GP> might, & mighty respectful, too)

  There was a case on May 25, 1987 (IIRC) on Lake Bisteneau, Louisiana,
near Shreveport. It was on a Sunday, and these 4 guys went out fishing
on the lake (it could've been any day of the week, though). A summertime
thunderstorm came up, and one guy stood up, shook his fist toward Heaven,
and dared God to strike him dead.

  He was obliged and instantly killed...and by rights, the other 3 should
have died as well. However, they were totally unharmed. That's an example
of Divine Judgment and Protection together...can you say "Thou Shalt Not
Tempt The Lord Thy God??". :P

 GP> I'll never find out, don't worry. . .

  The hair and a few other things might stand up. <eg>

 GP> I don't care what the liver's on,. it's going in the trash, on top of
 GP> the kale!

  Now, if it's fried beef liver and sauteed onions, I'm in. Otherwise,
forget it!!

 > ... If Barbie's so popular, why must you buy her friends??

 GP> Corporate profits, I'd presume. . .

  A lonely blonde?? <G>

 GP> puns from Barbie dolls. . .

 GP> I just do not like Russian dolls.
 GP> They're so full of themselves.

  Especially if one likes a Moss Cow. 

 GP> I ran out of material for the doll I was making and only had breathe
 GP> mints left for the feet.
 GP> He had Tic Tac toes

  Pound that one into submission.

 GP> The little girl lined her dolls up at the cookout.
 GP> It was a Barbie queue.

  Mannequins roasting on an open fire...

 GP> My friend said he made a voodoo doll of me.
 GP> I think he's pulling my leg.

  Will the person have the voodoo of me please scratch my butt?? It's
itching real bad, and I'm in a public place. 

 GP> Tried to make a doll with a clock instead of an abdomen.
 GP> It was a waist of time.

  A waist is a terrible thing to mind.
