Article-I.D.: cbosgd.3321 Posted: Tue Mar 22 08:44:21 1983 Received: Wed Mar 23 08:39:36 1983 I, for one, find the repetition of Patty O and Lightbulb jokes preferable to the long-winded drivel of some amateur humorists in netland, who seem to think they posses the burden of stellar wit. To mention a few, there was the inanely boring, seemingly endless vomiting of the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Net. What absolutely worthless, ripped-off crud! Now we are treated to the 2nd-grade quality of the adventurers of The Wraith. This rambling treatise on the joys for drug-induced catalepsy features such astounding punchlines as: "WHY IN THE REALM OF EARTH DO YOU WANT TO DO SUCH A THING?" He bellowed. "Why, to kill all life, of course. We then kill ourselves as well---wait! Before thou makest thy desision, [sic] why not join us in refreshments? Ha. Ha. I am sick to death of this crud. Give me the Patty O'Furniture joke! At least its tenacious continued existence is humorous. I'm for jokes that are at least as funny as they are long. ---> Chuck A DeGaul <---
