I thought I was completely weaned off the ongoing trials and
tribulations of the good Doktor Smart, but after a long absence,
I just realized I'm hooked and need an update of what the psychotic
shithead has been up to.

Bill ? Alan ? Lemming ? Et al ?

I imagine by now, with his team of crack lawyers, he's successfully
sued and had jailed just about everyone on the planet ?

His MMORPG--BC3KBCOLMMPUBG2075--must have had a successful
launch by now ?

Hep me, hep me, I needs to know !!

Bill and Lemming are still around, I think. Alan and Et al hardly
ever post here anymore.

I think when the US forces found Saddam in his "spider hole, they inserted
DS and sealed it. He was given a daily ration of crow and forced to play his
own games.

Hey, I just posted a witty remark! Unfortunately, there just isn't any
space-sim chatter going on here. Hopefully, Starshatter will change all
that.

It's no coincidence Bret, everybody here has stolen some part of your
ID, in fact, it's a truism to say this group *is* Bret Ripley. This
group will soon be receiving your salary, and there's nothing you can
do about it. I have your National Insurance number tattoo'd inside my
bottom lip, and Bill has wallpapered his sitting room with copies of
your last 10 years tax returns. And you should see what Lemming keeps
in his toilet (it's nothing whatsoever to do with your personal
details, but you should see it anyway).

With regard to foamy's request, I recently purchased Universal
Combat(1) and started perusing the BC forums for some info. If foamy
is in any doubt about the good Doctors treatment of those he deals
with, he need only drop in there for a couple of minutes to witness
that all is as it ever was.

Cool. From now on I'm claiming you all as dependents on my tax returns.

Looking on the bright side: Bateau would probably do a better job of

If you are now subsisting on my salary, I'm not at all surprised.

Have you purchased Starshatter yet? I don't know if Milo allows toadies,
though.

Lol!
What sense of the word "witty" are we using here Allan?

Anyway, me and Bret (I mean, Bret and I - sorry sir!) are chatting,
how long does this stuff take to reach you "wild" people down in that
desert you hunt berries in?

You going to get Starshatter Allan? With your flight-sim credentials I
reckon it'll be up your street, three different flight models for a
start.

Which definition of the word "witty" are you referring? I was using the
charming, intellegent conversationalist definition.

Desert? What the heck are you talking about? Texas has many geogrphical
regions. I will try to spell it out. Eastern part is dense pine forests.
Middle part is rolling hills/grasslands with hardwoods. Western part
somewhat desert like. Extreme northern part is open prairie with the
southern coastline....well...coast-like. I live in the southestern part
with pine forests. I will have to show you pics. Saying Texas is a desert is
like saying England outside of London is composed of quaint country estates
with charming little pubs in every village.....oh wait....

But seriously, I am going to get Starshatter. You can download it from the
Matrix site as of today. I put in a request with the Wargamer to review it.
I may just buy a copy just to show my support for Milo. How about you?


P.S. I had to change to an alias due to the volume of spam I have been
getting lately.

Yes please. And some of the pine forests too if you have time.

Do you know, The Zanster just mailed me a real NASA view of North
America (you know, like, from space) but I can't tell which bit is
Texas. Anyway, there's lot's of green all over it so I'll let you off.
The only view I can recall of Texas was Houston, which appeared to be
surrounded by desert, so that's where my confusion is setting in.
There are berries there aren't there? Let me at least be right about
the berries.

Definitely getting it, just as soon as the warez version becomes
available, Zan is working on a crack right now (well, he can make a
fortune selling it to his friends at school).

But seriously, I am going to get Starshatter. This afternoon probably.

Houston lies in both the pine forest bit and the coastal plain. No desert
for sure. Ok, I missed the berry bit. Are you referring to Halle Berry?
Chuck Berry? Barry Manalo (sp?)?. Beri-Beri?

Everyone in London doesn't wear bowler hats? Damn, another myth shattered.

Well it must have been... somewhere else then. Dallas? I'm sure Texas
is just lovely Allan, I mean, you wouldn't live there if it wasn't,
right? Beri-Beri? Does that still exist? Didn't they wipe that out,

You can never be too careful. I'll let you into a secret re this

take out the "nospam for me" or is the "123" a ringer too?

I grew up in Dallas and it is no desert. Hot as Hell in the summer but
plenty of vegetation and hardwoods.

Beri-Beri? Does that still exist? Didn't they wipe that out,

Yes. It is supposed to be in a suburb near Dallas.

No but I burn it in my gas grill when we cook hamburgers and hot dogs. I shy
away from selling petroleum products. Just look at the Hill's neighbors and
you see why I really like the show and even though it is filled with
stereotypes, there is some truth in it which makes it all the more
humourous.

Yes, yes, thanks, I saw that, Allan. Very witty indeed. However, Foamy
Jim was asking about someone called "Alan", not "Allan". Contrary to what
you may have been lead to believe, not all correspondence on Usenet is
about you. I think it must be a Texas thing.

Okay, to be honest I didn't realize you were posting under a new handle.

Does anybody?

Seriously, did you try to read "Patriot Games"? I didn't know whether to
laugh or throw the book at random passers-by.

Clancy's insight into the British psyche is, well, I think "astonishing"
just about covers it. My favorite bit was when the Prince Charles
character breaks down and weeps in front of a complete stranger because he
wasn't manly enough to take a bullet to protect his family. Good thing
that highly-trained,
ruggedly-handsome-yet-sound-of-ideals-even-when-on-vacation Merkan Marine
was on hand to save the day! USA! USA! USA! HOOOO-Waaaaa!!1!

Actually, Clancy give me hives.

Guess what Texas city I lived in. Here's the clues.

1. I wore a string tie to school every day and would say "y'all". (Okay
that's not a great clue but I want to try to make it interesting to other
people playing as well.)

2. Every Halloween about 10,000 kids would come trick or treating to our
house.

3. Cockroaches were sometimes big enough to open the door of the fridge by
themselves or to carry off small children.

4. Dust storms would sometimes make it dangerous to drive and the next day
you might find a pile of tumbleweeds against the side of your house that
touched the roof.

5. It was the best Texas city to be in because you had the least amount of
driving to go to get to the Golden State.

Uh, El Paso. You know, where the wicked Felina would whirl.

Detroit. Definitely Detroit. No, wait -- I think Detroit's in Kentucky.
Galveston?

Cockroaches? Why didn't you say so in the first place. That's San
Antonio.

I've got news for you, Bill -- you were actually living in New Mexico.

Ah, you just gave it away: you lived less than 10 minutes away from
Dallas-Ft. Worth.

He visits web forums but seems to be relatively well behaved. It is very
rare now when the The Fraud claims his bogus degrees on-line so I have
apparently successfully helped him to reduce the frequency of his fraudulent
claims. Although I don't think he ever has said thank you to me. :-(
Universal Combat seems to be doing fairly decent based on the number of
places that I've seen it. The other day I even saw a stack of UC for $20
bucks each next to a stack of BCM Gold for $30 each. That one cracked me up.

I personally don't miss The Fraud much. There's plenty of academic frauds
coming over to DegreeInfo trying to find victims. More states are passing
laws making bogus credentials like Derek's illegal. So hopefully in a dozen
years or so we'll start running out of academic frauds.
