I discover I am the victim of a great Fraud named A2K.

Joe Steves alter egos are slowly starting to capitulate, can you see a pattern, first Phoenix and a little something from Edgar.
Something tells me JLNOBODY is chewing his nails right now.

I have PMS, therefore I am.


QED

I no longer have PMS, and the world has gotten quite a bit cheerier since. Hang in!

Sorry. The bed's not big enough for a couple of grad students, the dogs and me. I can't tell you how I found out.

I've met a bunch of those personae named in my earlier post and heard from a few on the telephone and gotten snail mail from two.. Luckily, I have infragreen zonal perspex filaments in my nail polish and can verify at this time that all those folks are ok, Steve.

yeah but, would steve have come up with me???

Yes, I see how that could be private.


Oh, and I think this should be private too.

Wait.
I just looked up 'perpetuate', it's something completely different from what I thought.

Abu Ishaq Al Juwayri :
Yes. um, No. er, Welcome to A2K if you exist and welcome to A2K if you don't exist.
So, .... goats, huh. Yeah, you'll fit right in.

Ossobucco, I believe you can testify that you've met certain folks but to stretch it out to saying they are ok, well, that does take some nerve.
Good for you, always take the wild-eyed optimist route.

And I close with an animal quote in honor of Abu:
You can buffalo some cats while you are getting their goat.

Think about that while you are shaving.

Joe

I desperately want to be this swedish person living in Germany, but every morning I wake up and realize that I am what I am-- Moe, the bartender... Ask cav, he knows.

Good timing on my part. I purport that I am entirely self-perpetuated.

And I confess to being a figment of my own imagination. QUACK!

I will admit, and this takes a temendous weight off my chest, that I am not who I say I am.

My name is not Gustav Ratzenhofer. And I do not live by a swamp.

I have never in my life seen a capybara and know nothing about ducks.

I am Gorgon.

Supreme Commander of the Imperial Brethosmion Troops.

I resemble an eel to some extent and have fourteen eyes, three of which circle my anus in a continuous motion.

This is my first visit to this galaxy and I happened to land near A2K. Slappy Doo Hoo was just leaving as I arrived and I mistook him for a pet crimptonicon ( sort of like a squid yet uglier ) which I keep in a gilded cage back on good ol' Brethos.

Joe Nation proves to be an astute human and is the first one to uncover my insidious deception.

I would leave, knowing that everyone here knows that I am a fraud, but there is great turmoil on my planet.

Therefore, I shall stay. At least until things cool down on Brethos.

In the interim, if all the good people on this board would like to call me by my real name instead of Gus, that would be fine.

I am Gorgon.

I am proud.

Er, okay. Do Matilda and Gertrude know?

Abu, your avatar makes me want to call you Zlateh. See: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0064401472/103-9443712-4550223?v=glance

Gorgon
Gus is really Gorgon from Brethos? Gee, small universe!

Hail to thee, Supreme Commander. Any news from home?

(BTW, Earthlings, those three eyes circling Gorgon's Brethosmion anus allow him to see what he is going instead of where he is going.)

Perpetuate as in Amoebas, Anthrax and CavFancier.

As for Gus....Gus proliferates.

i am a simple goat-herder....now that saddam is gone i have subscribed to internet service. it can be spotty at times.

my whole life i have studied english in hopes of one day moving to america and introducing iraqi goats on a grand scale.

i seem to have blown my life savings on this laptop.....if only i could afford a webcam!

Real? Why, yes! Of course I'm who I say I am! Ah ha ha... (cough)







(Actually Joe, don't tell Gus but I'm really a spy sent from the planet Xiphos, we have been in a constant state of war with the tyrannical Brethos Empire for centuries. My mission is one of the utmost importance, I have been in search of the barbarian Brethosmion known as Gorgon for nigh on three deca cycles now. I feel I'm getting close now, I've opened up lines of communication using the alias 'Fortune', knowing the Brethosion fleet credo has always been, "Let fortune lead where she may," and I think he is starting to take the bait. Soon I shall capture and transport 'Gus' to our planet to face trial.)

hmmmm .... seems these damned earthlings are beginning to tip to the idea. Its high time we got started on that intergalactic bypass.

but first... some poetry.

<Ahem>

Who is this CavFancier you speak of?
I am cavfancier, and I perpetuate love
of a viral and kindly nature,
Gus is indeed a Gorgon creatur'
always in good humour, often in disguise,
but always willing to yuk it up with da guys.

How coolish! I've met the 3 previous posters.
Dog boys, all 3 of 'em.
Love dog boys.
