Hey Spoon that's interesting.  

   93May28 1:36 am from Zeylan
So, Spoon... didja bang 'im? 

   93May28 9:02 am from Bliss Ragsdale
  So, what sort of grade are you getting in the class, now? 

   93May28 2:19 pm from The Sneezing Lion
 steve's car left the driveway? wow.  
  
   Interesting story Spoon. Please, finish. 

   93May28 5:05 pm from Spoon
Anyway to make a long story short, yes, I did sleep with him, and I found out 
he had girlfriend in probably the worst possible way. (She walked in on us 
screwing in his bed)  Anyway, now he's pissed at me like it's all my fault, 
and he has been downgrading my papers.  Before I got an A and an A- and these 
last two I got a D and a D-.  I tried to talk to my professor and all he said 
was that ifd I had a problem, I would need to work it out with my TA. 

   93May28 6:42 pm from Zeylan
Did you guys get to finish fucking? 

   93May28 6:47 pm from Starchild
Gee I must be TAing the wrong subject 8-)> 

   93May28 8:34 pm from Dark Dr. X
Oh my god. I thought those things only happened in soap operas. But seroiusly, 
that sucks, Spoon. 

   93May28 9:07 pm from ThE nEwStYlE
Yeah, Spoon, that's weak. It was his fault for the location and not knowing 
she was arriving. It sounds like misdirected animosity. 

   93May28 10:47 pm from brian
Spoons are my favorite thing to eat with. 

   93May28 11:00 pm from brian
Byebye bbs! It was so fun to read them all. I will call back again. I will 
allways call back. Even if a earthquake makes the house fall down 

   93May28 11:57 pm from Amarantheus
I hate it when I have to redial for a half hour to get on just to read brian's 
messages. 

   93May29 4:09 am from Zeylan
One of my young boa constrictors, Louie, died this morning.  It was very 
upsetting.  A moment of silence, please.
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
  
 
                                                                                
                                                  
                                                                                
                                                                     
                                                                                
                                                                     
                                                                                
                                                                     
                                                                                
                                                                     
                                                                                
                                                                     
                                                                                
                                                                     
                                                                                
                                                                                
                          
 Thank you.

       Poor Louie, dead and gone, left me here to sing this song, 
 
          Pretty little girl with the red dress on, poor louie dead and gone. 

   93May29 1:09 pm from Spoon
Well, I called him last night, you know, to settle things out and stuff, and 
he admitted that he was being a dick and all.  He said it wasn't fair for him 
to blame me and that he would take a look at my papers and regrade them.  
Apparently his girlfriend broke up with him and he wants to get together.  I 
mean I really like him, and at least he was cheating with me  and not on me, 
if that makes any sense.  Besides, if I say yes, I'll ace the class for sure, 
and then I can dea l with him more seriously after the quarter is over and 
dump him or whatever. 


   93May29 2:07 pm from Zeylan
My other young boa, Floyd, also died this morning.  They shared the same 
terrarium, and apparently the same illness. 

   93May29 3:36 pm from The Sneezing Lion
 Wow. I am stunned. No E-Mail. The first time in over 5 weeks. 

   93May29 3:50 pm from The Sneezing Lion
 WEll, at least on this board.... 

   93May29 3:56 pm from Gwar
Sorry to hear that, Zeylan.  It's always depressing to have a pet die. 

   93May29 5:30 pm from Misha
Raves?  Oh, please.  Take Bob Blaylock with you. 

   93May29 5:58 pm from JSK
I can't see the difference between cheating with you and on you.  It's an
aspect of his character, not of you or her.  He will cheat on you just as
easily. 

   93May29 9:35 pm from Misha
Clue in, JSK!  Spoon is not a real woman!  Let alone a real person! She's a 
grotesque!  She's a caricature!   

   93May29 9:36 pm from Misha
ame-lay. 

   93May29 10:08 pm from Swagman
Let's have a hearty Swagland welcome for the return of Misha & Reid... 

   93May29 10:50 pm from Dark Dr. X
HI MISHA! HI REID!  
 
 
 
 
            What? oh.. I'm not wanted. Bye. 

   93May29 11:15 pm from brian
Its very sad when pets die. Zeylans. Theyre in pet hevin now with my best cat. 
I hope you get a new one soon. 

   93May30 2:07 am from Dark Dr. X
 Everyone go to the Door Files room and Read reverse to see something way 
cool.. 

   93May30 6:54 am from Amarantheus
Goodbye, Misha, goodby Reid.  (please) 

   93May30 8:52 am from The Sneezing Lion
 Wow. 

   93May30 9:10 am from The Sneezing Lion
 No new mail. wierd. 

   93May30 10:41 am from Dark Dr. X
Would you shut the fuck up, TSL?! 

   93May30 12:58 pm from Misha
Guaranteed Bust Free?  Yeah, right.  It's in the police's blind spot! They'll 
never see it!  Quick, let me get my cat-in-the-hat hat!  Oh, Raves are so 
politically and socially conscious!  They'll change the WORLD! 

   93May30 2:06 pm from Spoon
Misha, you are so negative, what do you know anyway?  How can you say I"m not 
real, you havn't even met me. 

   93May30 2:21 pm from Misha
If you are real, I don't think I'd want to meet you.  You're a 14 year old's
dream. 

   93May30 4:49 pm from Felix
ha ha ha 

   93May30 7:31 pm from Amarantheus
I don't go to change the world, just to dance.  And it wasn't busted. 

   93May30 9:03 pm from Dark Dr. X
Cool. How late did it go? 

   93May30 9:41 pm from Misha
Oooh!  Told me off, didntca! 

   93May30 10:06 pm from brian
There were lots of mesages this time. 

   93May30 10:26 pm from The Sneezing Lion
 OOOoooOOOooo! I have mail! 

   93May30 11:07 pm from Dark Dr. X
 OOOoooOOOooo! I have mail! 

   93May31 12:27 am from JSK
That isn't the real Misha!  It's Zeylan in a new irascible suit.  Looks sharp. 

   93May31 12:39 pm from Spoon
Look buster, where do you get off insulting me like that?  I thought I could 
get a little helpful support and maybe even a tad bit of sympathy from some of 
you guys and all I get is your shit, Misha.  I thought I could talk about 
something that has been bothering me alot lately that I havn't really told 
anyone else, especially since I don't know any of you in person, which of 
course makes stuff like this easier.  I'm not out to get a bunch of little 
boys all horny, I just thought that there would be maybe one or two of you who 
might understand, or at least I could talk to.  Obviously I was mistaken. 

   93May31 1:26 pm from metropolitan job
spoon, you have my sympathy, for whatever that's worth. i don't know why misha 
is being so hostile. 

   93May31 3:26 pm from steve
hi brian, i like you 

   93May31 4:15 pm from Felix
Sorry, but my sympathy lies nowhere in this. =( 

   93May31 8:29 pm from Dark Dr. X
I have sympathy.. I just don't know how to show it. 

   93May31 11:08 pm from Gwar
Spoon, you have my sympathy for what it's worth but it's probably not worth 
too much.  BBSes around here aren't exactly filled with supportive types. 

   93Jun01 12:09 am from Tom Tech, T.D.
 
  Spoon, did you know that there are no rocks in the Great Plains because the 
Sioux shattered them all into tiny pieces looking for water? 

   93Jun01 1:02 am from Dark Dr. X
Well, look at that. 

   93Jun01 11:01 pm from Amarantheus
I just love the end of the quarter.  Everybody's so busy with finals, I can 
get on first try... 

   93Jun01 11:33 pm from brian
I love the first try amaranthus. 

   93Jun02 12:06 am from Bliss Ragsdale
  So Gwar, I need two more listening hours.  Twenty bucks for you if you fix 
it for me.  :) 

   93Jun02 9:51 am from Dark Dr. X
Ah, I had to call Zone X, Gooblesnortembopy *AND* Enright House to get on 
here. At 9:44 am. MATH BLASTER!!!!!!!!!! +) 

   93Jun02 10:42 am from BOXHEAD
Hello Everybody.  I studied all weekend at the El Encanto.  Boy, it was a hard 
weekend. 

   93Jun02 12:46 pm from Misha
"Besides, if I say yes, I'll ace the class for sure,  and then I can dea l 
with him more seriously after the quarter is over and  dump him or whatever." 
 
You -- I'm pretending as if you actually exist, Spoon -- are expecting
sympathy for an attitude like that?  The only sympathy you've been getting on 
here has not been genuine; it's been kneejerk from kids who want to jump onto 
your imaginary jock, fly-girl. 

   93Jun02 1:19 pm from Mr. Happy!
Sleeping with a TA just to get a high grade is really degraded and stupid.  
It's unfair to the other students because it creates an additional criterion 
that they cannot benefit from -- unless they're whorish enough to leap into 
the sack with this jerk as well -- and it violates the purpose of school, 
doesn't it?  Why don't you just drop the lousy class, Spoon, rather than 
capitalizing on this TA's character defects?  I don't think I'll ever be able 
to take you very seriously as a person (even if Misha is wrong about you not 
existing, and I find his accusations pretty compelling) if you don't take your 
own education seriously.  You're a cheater and a scammer, and I think that's 
wretched and pathetic. 
     I also find it rather incredible that "Spoon" should mention all this for 
the purpose of evoking "sympathy."  Perhaps "Spoon" is actually moronically 
insecure enough to get a sense of thrill of impressing the thirteen year olds 
here.  If that's the case, Spoon, why don't you just devirginize them all?  
Maybe they'll give you something for it.  Maybe you'll get aient sense of 
having had a meaningful impact on someone's life.   
     But more likely I think is the possibility that some brainless, 
uncreative little clump of a person is spewing a little soap-opera-ish 
fiction.  Sitting in front of his or her terminal with some stale popcorn, 
maybe some Penthouse letters, and a really obnoxious giggle.   

   93Jun02 8:59 pm from ThE nEwStYlE
   That message was wretched Mr. Happy. It showed no humility and bringing out 
the worst of a person. Spoon didn't do this which is alot better than you. 
Your vilification and revilement reveal an insecurity, having the gnawing 
desire to prove people inferior to you. This is easy to detect, easy to see. 
It is gratuitous and unsuccessful. What Spoon did may have been wrong, but it 
wasn't malevolent and she did nothing to you personally. You use the term 
"degraded" and you are a hypocrite; you degraded her. You don't know her, her 
life, the TA, you've never seen the class, and with your inadequate knowledge 
you disdainfully judge her with that one instance. Anybody who speaks so 
disdainfully, their judgement is not worth very much. And on this flimsy basis 
you presumptuously condemn Spoon? 
   You are in error. You are more deluded than a slave trader rationalizing 
his behavior and treatment of a slave. Because that was real life and legally 
then, even though it was unjust, he did have power; you have none. You are 
deluded to such an great extent and it is laughable. You in in your own little 
obscure world utter your gibberish to a person that you know nothing of her 
face, and lacking knowledge you expect her to take you seriously? Why should 
she take you seriously? Now this is a response that I want to read because it 
would be amusing. Do you not see the blatant absurdity?  
   "I don't think I'll ever be able to take you very seriously as a 
person...if you don't take your own education seriously."--what is this? What 
are cliches reality for you? You sound like a parent, except the only children 
you have are the ones in your head. Do you think for one moment a person needs 
this sanction from you? How much less someone you don't know. You are out 
there in space searching for a character flaw that is irrelevant to your life, 
floating around in delusion.   
   "..it creates an additional criterion that they cannot benefit from, unless 
they're...to leap into the sack."--this is fallacious, arbitrary, impetuous. 
For she is not responsible for the flawed and partial TA. You don't know that 
he didn't do this in the past with a student, or many students.  And she 
didn't benefit from it. That was the whole point of the message, and look how 
far off you are from understanding its intent.  
    In that later part of your message, worthy of no mention, you appeared to 
have joy in writing such delusionary things that have no basis, except the 
decree of your wasted imagination.  
   


   93Jun02 9:09 pm from Gwar
Sorry, Bliss.  The deadline was 2pm...When I dropped off copies of the logs in 
Ullom's mailbox, still warm from the copier.  I suppose I COULD say I missed 
the last sheet...  ;^> 
 
 To all who care about the real convo in this room...I suggest you all go back 
and actually READ Spoon's original message where she states that she not only 
didn't "go out with him to get a good grade"...he was the one who had trouble 
keeping the relationship professional.  It's really comforting to know that 
messages can be printed in such an exact medium and still be totally twisted 
by the people who read it.  UGH! 

   93Jun02 10:40 pm from Darby Crash
However If we ask the TA for his story, I bet it would be a lot different then 
Spoons.  Neither should judge for or against "Spoon" untill you hear the other 
story.  Which is very unlikely so lets let the subject drop. 

   93Jun02 11:51 pm from brian
That mesage was so long newstyle. 

   93Jun03 12:21 am from JSK
Spoon didn't say her reason for jumping in the sack was for the grade.  She 
didn't say why.  She said she was hanging out with him because he was good at 
his job. 
  Although there were a lot of things going wrong here, the worst was this
clown grading Spoon's papers better and worse because he liked or disliked her. 
  If I were you, Spoon, I'd try to get back to a position of mutual respect,
which is sounds like you've already done.  (Confronting him with the fact his
girlfriend's not your problem, and the bogus D-.)  Then stay the hell away
from him . 
  The guy is bad news because he would cheat on someone, and be changing your
grade.  While everyone does poorly in some areas, these early indicators are
not promising. 

   93Jun03 12:36 am from JSK
I agree with Newstyle, that Mr. Happy's message was immature.  Mr. Happy's
response was probably a knee-jerk reaction based on some real experience, in
which he did know the people involved. 
  I encountered another immature reaction today.  I was walking my bike across
an intersection.  A bicylist going the other way yelled at me "What's the 
matter, sissy, can't ride your bike?".  I was confused, and looked around, 
unable to believe that a guy in what appeared to be late 20s would be saying 
something so immature.  But he said something else as he went by, so I was 
sure it was him. 
  As I rode home, I thought about how grade school kids had tormented me, and
how I'd gradually learn to ignore people I didn't have respect for in high
school and college.  This guy was still back there in grade school, weighed
down worrying about what other people are thinking about him when he doesn't 
need to be. 
  Not that we are totally free.  We still have to wear appropriate clothes at 
work, weddings, dinners.  But it's because of people we have respect for. 
  Yeah, brian, the message is so long.
