Well, they were loaded... I believe they're passed out in the bunks.
Useless things.

Somebody go slap them around!

Go slap your cannon? Be careful, it could discharge suddenly.

Well, there were other choices:

A: No.
B: I'll just blast him.
C: Let him answer and then blast him.
D: Let him answer, watch him struggle, find people who want
   to blast him for that and enjoy the show.

And you can get millions for that. Erm, not
get... become... millions of pieces.

Hmm, I think I broke that while I was trying to post Neppie's picture in ASCII. 
It was over 80 characters long and I tried to cut and paste it, but it didn't 
fit. When I upped the characters per line it still turned out deformed at a 
fixed with font. I forgot to dial the number of characters back down to 80, I guess.

Well..perhaps my newsreader is just really gay for not being able to 
wrap lines longer than 80 characters. The man pages says "simply press

Now your post came out crappy on Firefox for some reason. I the number of 
characters at exactly 80 and now it did this crazy line break at the last two

Isn't that supposed to be the way it's supposed to be? But actually, I 
think the default number of characters to wrap at is 72. At least that's 
what I've been setting it at in all my newsreaders.

wrap_article is easier than horizontal scrolling though, unless you are

Of course there isn't one in the original! It's an ASCII artifact! If there had 
been one in the original, the artist would have been catering to a 'niche market'.

Yet how can we actually be sure the ASCII version isn't the original? 
And if it is, then why was the goat removed from the painting? It's 
quite mysterious, isn't it? So I just searched through my .txt version 
of the Lord of the Rings and guess what? Not a single goat to be found!! 
Now that can't be a coincidence! Why did Tolkien remove the goats?! 
What in the world is going on here?!

Goat censorship. Now in this particular case I can understand, as unspeakable 
things are being done to the goat in the picture. But it's curious how this only 
happens to the goat and not the old man.

Most posts comply anyway, and this way it doesn't mess anything up.
Besides, I can easily use slrn at 127 char width.

Old man!? It's Gandalf you're talking about!! And what exactly do you 
mean by it only happening to the goat? The unspeakable things? What can 
be so terrible that Tolkien had to rewrite the entire Lord of the Rings 
to take out the story of Gandalf and the goat?

That's just plain sick! The usenet was never meant to be more than 80

I could tell you, but I'd fry the whole of usenet. Or get in severe problems 
with Peta and who knows what government organization.

I'd rather not use that goat in any way. Certainly not the Gandalf way.

Hmmm, pre-grilled cheese from a spray can. I'd set up a business plan if I could
