[Do not read this line. ARRRRRGH! Too Late!!!]

    A meeting Friday night (8-2-85) was held at the Hyatt in Austin over-
looking the beautiful Town Lake. bj and bj finally met each other face
to face. Ever since they flamed each other on the net, a meeting of the
sorts was inevitable. The dialogue went like this:

####
bj: So. You didn't like my writings.
bj: Only to the point of longer versions of the same. But I have had a
    few second thoughts on the subject.
bj: Like what?
bj: Well, article #77 by Jay Wooten in response to my concern on well-
    written English phrases summed it up nicely:

>   What would James Joyce have to say about this ????

bj: I would say about 5300 words without punctuations. But seriously,
    art can take many forms. For what's one man creativity is another
    person's garbage. In fact, a positive response of sorts came from
    David Oskard (article #116)

>   I liked it.  In fact, I was more amused by this seemingly
>   random gibberish (which probably took a bit more randomness than your
>   average article to compose) than by all these mail sticker things.
>   If it's short enough not to bother me, then it should be allowed.

    I'm still trying to figure out where he got "Achooo!" from one
    of my postings....
bj: And net.bizarre is an open forum where people can communicate without
    fear of being too strange. Strange is the norm in this area. I see
    this group as providing a channel for such repressed feelings.
bj: You a psych major or what? So let there be bizarreness and without
    interference from other people. By the way I have gotten you a
    gift to make amends.
bj: Really? So did I. Here.
bj: [Opening up the gift] A Thesaurus! I really needed that. Thanks.
bj: [Opening up the gift] Ulysses by James Joyce! After reading your stuff,
    he can't be any worse. But Thanks! I've heard a lot of good things
    about this book.

####
    So after bj and bj split an order of fajitas, (and each having a
Corona beer), they were getting ready to pay their bill. Suddenly, an
explosion was heard.

####
bj: Look!
bj: OH NO!!!!!

####
(to be continued next Sunday [8-11-85].
Tune in to net.bizarre for: THE FINAL CHAPTER.)

 Mermaids. Carrots. Polyhedra. They all mean one thing in Pascal: bj.
