Do you suppose MST3K has gone for the rights to the new movie yet?

Justinian I ruled the Byzantine Empire in the *500s*. The
historian is Procopius, who wrote an official history and then a
"Secret History" to be circulated after his death. J. B. Bury,
_The Later Roman Empire_, vol. II, pp. 423-24 (Dover): "Procopius
gravely asserts that he himself and `most of us' had come to the
conclusion that the Emperor and Empress were demons in human form,
and he did not mean this as a figure of speech. He tells a

I know for a fact that the shepherds of these sheep tell
them that if they don't occasionally receive some kind of abuse when
they're out "witnessing" that they must be doing something wrong.
Hence, we see folks like Applet becoming abusive to the few
who are civil to him--the abuse validates himself in his mind, and
he'll try to provoke it. In the case of another long-term regular
here, I suspect that there's also a narcissistic fear of being

For really offensive racial stereotypes from Disney, the
word is that you should try to locate their WW2 cartoons.
It'd also be interesting to see some "Hekyl Jekyl"
cartoons.
Thanks for the additional infobits. Now if someone could
give solid confirmation one way or the other about whether my
memory was off about Boston Blackie. 8-)

See the message from Steve Q to me on this. Did the
book say anything about whether my memory was full of shit
about Boston Blackie?

My guess is that your best chance would be to sign up
with one of the film groups that has their own extensive library,
or perhaps one of the universities that has a strong media
department.
It only *seems* 24 hours long.

I wrote down--somewhere in my morass of paper--the
address for the outfit selling the entire set. The company's
name was ZBS (something like Productions, Inc.)
What I'd really like to have is the full set of Ken
Nordine's half-hour associative riffs on colors. They were
also being sold at one time.

Please tell me if I remember it wrong, but didn't Ken open his bisexuality
here in holysmoke a few months ago?
I want to know if the posting is just cynical, and what sex has to do with
religion.
I mean, I'm not gay but one has got to accept that the homo got feelings
just
as the hetero, or otherwise one's a chicken hiding behind a biblical garbage
can, or something else for the day politically correct shit.

The notion has some possibilities, but probably only PK Dick
could do PK Dick well.
It certainly would be a hard act to follow.

I am not at all surprised, considering that he's also
made several other errors about the movie.
It's great to know there's at least two good PK Dick books
still left for me to read, "Do Androids Dream. being one.
What makes _Bladerunner_ almost unique for Hollywood (as
opposed to written) sf is that it furnishes such food for thought
and interpretation. Yours is a good one.

I was bored the other night and went looking for holysmoke on IRC. Couldn't
find anyone there, but found Steve Winter. I never, except tangentially,
ran into the great schmuck. I got in a few well tuned jabs before he tossed
me ("no false Xtian scum allowed"), but before that when he warned me of
his next move, I informed him that I was neither

Thanks for your Email on that byproduct of reproduction. My sister is a

I wonder if all fundies normally use JP4 as a hair tonic.
Which is about as rewarding as chatting with a pressure treated 4x4.

That's one of the nice by-products of being a professional planet raper.
I get the lowdown on obscure, out of the way places and can actually find
them. Also, many times, I can get into restricted areas of Nat. Parks, ostensibly
to "do research'. Fie on crowds.
Of the former, after Alicia trashed most of Galveston and the Boliver peninsula,
I wanted to go down to the Blue Coast Highway and get some pictures. I was
