The Unreasonably Long Scarf of Tom Baker

What does "Teeth and Curls" have to do with OS/2, Snarky?

What does a Linux user like you have to do with OS/2,

I know lots of people who use multiple operating systems, Snarky. I'm
known for advocating the right tool for the job. To that end, I use
or have used Linux, OS/2, Windows, Solaris, MacOS, Unicos, CTSS, OS/32,
DOS, RSX 11d, VMS, SunOS, CP/M, among others.

Well, I hope you feel special.

I see that you didn't answer the question, Snarky. No surprise there.

Not really. This is usenet, and if I say I'm the Very, Very Long Scarf

truck driver, or a Japanese businessman, or a Cree grandmother living
in Toronto. Whatever I say I am is what I am, effectively, simply

prove that the same person is doing all the things associated with said

"[Lurlean] would never dream of sleeping with a dog. The Bible's against
it. You don't seem to care what the Bible says, so she thought maybe you
gave that a try too -- in addition to sucking on Steve, letting him play
with your butt, and having seven different lesbian lovers in our bed."

"'drink that hooch,' they would say, 'and then smoke that joint. Bury
your head in that strange woman's crotch and bring her to a thunderous
climax with your tongue, then tell her no man could ever give her that
much pleasure in a thousand years. Tell her to leave her husband and
become a lesbian. Drip hot wax on that pervert's nutty buddies and then
charge him extra for the privilege.'" -- Sistah Moonshine is now working
on an erotic epic to outmatch Anne Rice.

embarassing to me. There were too many posts to follow them all, and I
know a lot of people were saying mean things about me - but a few
sucked up. So it was best at that point rather than to browse all the
crap to simply make a standard post telling people a lot of bull****
I'd just made up. I did that on many other groups, but the war is only
fought here. If anyone thinks I am the least bit kidding, consider how
long this has been going, how little I have accomplished (i.e., how
much the mean, mean kookologists have changed everything), and that I
have a lot of goats to blow.

Not really. This is usenet, and if I say I'm the Very, Very Long Scarf of
Tom Baker, then I am indeed the Scarf. I can also say I'm a Polish truck
driver, or a Japanese businessman, or a Cree grandmother living in
Toronto. Whatever I say I am is what I am, effectively, simply because
there is no real proof. The legalname you can find on a Yahoo profile
about me may or may not be mine, and the same with the accompanying
.jpeg. The same goes for you, too, and for all usenet posters, and
everyone else with a net.presence of any kind. Use a legalname or don't,
it's all the same. No proof. Even PGP keys can only prove that the same
person is doing all the things associated with said keys, not who that
person "really" is -- and that's a _good_ thing. The only way to find out
who someone really is, is to go meet them in person, take a risk that
they might be dangerously unbalanced, or into hardcore drugs or crime or
whatever. Therefore, I am the Scarf.

[Hint: Usenet is as real as you feel like letting it be. Your personal
reality is *yours*, after all, not someone else's.]

Teh tholobot had the humor subroutines purged years ago, he/she/it won't
understand.

Yes, but I had to anyway. He's a freakin' Ph.D., after all, so he
doesn't really have an excuse for failing to understand, except sheer
bullheaded determination to carry out his agenda of "proving whom the
'disruptors' *really* are to Penso", even long after said gentleman
****ed off in disgust.

He doesn't seem to turn toward the right or left well at all.

Basically, it's additional support for his
nominations...

You mean like his kook awards that he always calls "classic erroneous
presuppositions"?
