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.) bj & bj -- Mermaids. Carrots. Polyhedra. They all mean one thing in Pascal: bj. bart j. geraci is found at: bjg@im4u.UUCP bjg@ut-sally.{UUCP,ARPA} {ctvax,gatech,harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!bjg
