  • I think we're all bozos in this newsgroup

    I did try to listen to a comedy album that ah..Clem likes, but I'm afraid I just
    got extremely bored after about 7 minutes or so and felt I had to switch to something else.

    Sorry, if you were expecting bg content in this post, rather than something
    so completely O.T.

    No doubt that you and ah..Clem are.
    Maybe a couple of others also. But
    please spare the rest of us.

    Don't you worry. We're used to it. We
    weren't expecting much, as expected.

    I intended to speak for people who are not
    bozos here and if I sounded like I assumed
    that we were the majority here, it is true that
    I have assumed so.

    However, it is perfectly fine with me if I had
    spoken for the minority instead or even just
    for myself.

    And considering that my comment was in
    response to your own acknowledgement of
    your own post's *content*, I have no problem
    accepting that the bozo majority here may
    indeed appreciate bozoic comments more.

    Like many great works of literature, "I Think We're All Bozos on this
    Bus" starts slowly and builds. Which isn't to say that it *is* a great
    work of literature, just that it starts out like one.

    If you want to hear the creation myth for the Ah...Clem moniker, it
    starts at about 19:30 and goes for about six minutes.

    I can see your inference that it doesn't build like a
    great work of literature but if it's not a great work
    of literature, how can it start slowly *like* a great
    work of literature to begin with?

    Pffrrtt!!

    I'm not a bozo, just someone who looks at the dice rolled by (say) AI Factory Backgammon and calls bullshit dice.

    Nothing wrong with calling dice out especially if you can announce before a dice roll what they will be.
