~~~AllisonWonderland~~~:
Hey Jimbo. I'm genuinely sorry to hear that the "games" here have left you
"numb".
Might I suggest that you have probably been taking "aught but pixels on a
screen" MUCH too seriously.
J:
> It could be just ritualistic habit to check in on what's happening on a
regular basis.
~~~AW~~~:
Actually, <a.c.4th-w> has become one of the more mediocre UseNet sites.
Twas not always such. What NOW happens at the "lil' ol' back-water
cess-pool
for the terminally up-****ed" is severely degraded consumate with the
aging
of the waning GooRoovee, the result of the drying up of his well of
miscreant fomentation, due probably to the severe degradation of both the
quality and quantity of viable brain cells, brought on by the unmoderated
use of cheap swill, street-grade chemicals, and his own Aspergers driven,
Narcissistic, delusions of grandeur, coupled with his being a little, fat,
ugly, queer, blind, bald-headed P-R-I-C-K.

~~~AW~~~:
A "togetherment" devised in hell, for sure. It's a shame that they can't
reconcile for they would each be the other's "just deserts".
J:
> Anyway, I'm not so sure how *real* anyone or anything is on this
group...
~~~AW~~~:
Here, let me help you sort it out. Stephen is NOT *real*. Stephen is a
"phake&foney". Stephen is, by dint of his "bug eyes" an Osho/Gurdjieff
wannabe of the lowest grade.
JudY Rhodent is by any standard EGGZACTLY what Stephen deserves, and by
the
same token, Stephen is EGGZACTLY what JudY deserves. Do the terms:
"Frick&Frack", "TweedleDee&TweedleDum", "GeORgE&Dick", Dumb&Dumber", and
"Box of Hammers" have any relevance here?
MrM is probably Bruce Morgen, but there's no way to know for sure. I CAN
honestly tell you that I am NOT writing MrM.
FXDL is possibly a *real* person living in the mid-south, BUT most likely
he
is a sock-puppet of someone possibly related to the GooRoovee, and if the
latter, the "real" writer has no idea how long this has been known,
although
it is posted (secretly) in a place in plain sight, so that at the proper
time, it can be revealed, with all the proof necessary available. All one
will have to do is know where to look. This was done some years ago when
FXDL (SoBe, and a few other nom d'plumes) first started posting. :) But I
could be wrong.
Barbee is a REAL person, and has been writing a number of socks, and is an
above average player in the game of "King of Fauxs" (in case you don't
know,
KoF is a *REAL* game).
J:
> and or how many are simply playing games.
~~~AW~~~:
This kind of statement is kind of oxymoronic, in that one cannot play
*games* at this level, "simply".
It's harder than it looks to reach into a distant psyche using "aught but
pixels on a screen", and render an otherwise intelligent, sentient being
"numb", if you know what I mean. :)
J:
> At least two have claimed the status of genius,
~~~AW~~~:
But only one has proven it.
J:
> and i have no idea what it takes to intertain a genius.
~~~AW~~~:
One might start with proper "speeling" :)
I can't vouch for GooRoovee, but I CAN say that MY claim of genius was
done
just to rile HIM, for I have little need for self agrandizement.
And while my genius is actual, and provable, there comes with it a
responsibility to use it judiciously. I have deigned to use MY very high
IQ
level to counteract the moderately high IQ level of the GooRoovee so as to
prevent him from using his'n to accost and assault those innocents that
occasionally show up around these parts. I'm his nemisis, his "wrost"
nightmare, his counter-balance, and his superior.
But there is more to it than that. And I'm going to take this op****tunity
to
expostulate, and elucidate on that matter, but will do is a bit further
on.
J:
> The very claim of genius is an egoic cry for attention...,
~~~AW~~~:
While this CAN be so, it is NOT endemic to genius.
As I stated above, my claim to genius was used for its "rile" quotient.
For
the GooRoovee was bandying about his "superiority", and it seemed that no
one was able to deal with him when he was in his "heyday".
I came along just in the nick of time, and proved to him that he was NOT
"all THAT".
He had the knack of angering others, and then deriding their lack of self
control.
He was not able to do that to everyone, but of all the people here, I was
the ONLY one that was able to do that BACK to him.
This is the MAIN thing for which my decade long campaign of baiting him
has
accomplished. And I alone have been the only one that he cannot anger,
nor
from whom he can escape. I have his number. He knows it, I know it, and
anyone who is serious about reading here knows it. It is a fact of life,
no
matter how much denial the GooRoovee is able to muster.
And the way that it was done was by giving him an example of *REAL*
genius,
which took the form of writ that was well done, well "speeled", properly
syntaxed, nicely styled, and at the same time I wrote MANY other entities
who were not only regarded as *real* by even the GooRoovee himself, but by
many others who were themselves competently skilled in the game of "King
of
Fauxs".
He cannot write like I write, for he has not THAT level of genius. I, on
the
other hand, can write like he writes, and do it better than he does it.
J:
> and my whole practice is the recognition and observation of the ego...
(mainly my own)
~~~AW~~~:
And this is commendable, BUT there are many definitions of "ego", and one
must recognize and observe EACH "egoic" definition. This is something in
which the GooRoovee is pitifully lacking, in that he knows but ONE
definition of ego, and while he can point that "ego" out in other, he
cannot
see it in himself. He is as blind to his own ego as he is to the billions
and billions of stars.
J:
> Maybe, this numbness is a form of closure.... to the ritual of
> participating... even as an interesting read.
~~~AW~~~:
Or it COULD be the closing of one door, and the opening of another, to an
even MORE interesting read.
J:
> There is plenty of drama in this world without me seeking it out.
~~~AW~~~:
A truism if ever there was one. Still, we all seek "quality", and the
quality of unsought drama can't always be vouchsafed. One gravitates to
"favored" sources because of the perceived quality of those sources. And
in
reading (which is the mode here on the NGs) the quality of writ can be
ascertained by how it affects us. I'm afraid that I, in my little
KittenBritches escapade, over-loaded YOU, which was NOT my intent. An
explanation of the REAL motive, is forthcoming if you will but continue to
read.
J:
> It may well be time for me to leave the benches of the playground, and
walk the still
> path toward myself...
~~~AW~~~:
It may well be. BUT don't go until you understand precisely, and fully
what
has just happened.
J:
> Graditude, and best wishes...,
If you are really gone, good bye, and go in peace and sentience. May you
find that for which you seek, may you cherish what you have already found,
and may you ever be secure in the quality of your possession.
And now I'd like to make an explanation of this whole melange.
As you know, <a.c.4th-w> is NOT my NG of choice. <alt.solipsism> is MY
NG...
And I am "Director of Solipsism Central, where the 'dream team' holds
forth
as the wittiest newsgroup on the whole World Wide Web.
It is my duty as Director to supply, in as real a manner possible, the
dreams of those who chose to dream dreams. And one of those dreamers is
the
GooRoovee, who has this dream that he is a "miracle worker".
His position is quite tragic.
He'd LOVE to be a magician,
All he's lacking is the MAGIC! :)
His offer to prove his enlightenment (with a capital e), his buddhahood,
with its boobie-feel, and his power as a mystic, by making my cats
"miraculously disappear was HIS cry in the night for a dose of synthetic
reality, that I, of course, would not resist fulfilling.
And so in a two month campaign, I supplied him with a reality that he
suspected was true. Remember: "TrVth is that which confirms one's
suspicions."
All that was written about MY cats, Groovy, the lab cat and her pathetic
death, the machinations that were so carefully construed, and ALL that
"apparently" happened, were but a fiction represented by "aught, but
pixels
on a screen". And near the end, I didn't even have to write ANYTHING! It
was
all of YOU who were doing all the writing. And I was just laugh&laugh. You
guys were really GOOD! :)
The whole exercise had two purposes. One was to just to jack with the
GooRoovee, which I have done time and time again over the past decade, and
which I enjoy because I know that it keeps him humble, which I know he
doesn't need, but deserves anyway.
AND the other purpose is for my own development as a writer of fiction. It
is this skill as a writer on which you who got to "eavesdrop". And it was
this episode that you got caught-up in, and it left a bad taste. BUT you
have to understand, as I stated earlier, this was NOT aimed as all of YOU.
BUT there was no way for me to keep you all from putting yourself in the
line of fire.
My only consolation in all of this is that while it may have left you
"numb", or feeling like you were in some form or manner traumatized, it
was
no more than a tale, a story, a play, a building up of the GooRoovee's
egotistical "house of cards", so that it could be ceremoniously toppled,
an
action that he deserves for his egregious misuse of his questionable
talents
as a dilettante, wannabe mystic.
So to those of you who were "put-off" by this escapade, please accept my
sincerest apologies. Be assured that no animals were harmed during the
production of this farce. The ~~~AllisonWondercats~~~ are all healthy,
happy, and doing wonderfully. Groovy, the lab cat, and here death was but
a
figment. Doc Gully, and Imelda are the local vets here in town. There is
no
epidemic of Avian Influenza. I was not accosted, arrested, imprisoned, nor
quarantined. And while the GooRoovee would might like to fa****on this as a
LIE, then that would make Rowling, Tolkien, Hemmingway, and ME liars,
which
we are not. We are writers of fiction. And while fiction is supposed to be
entertaining, it isn't always FUN.
The saving grace of the fiction that is NOT fun, is that once it is
experienced, it can be relegated to its proper place, and the relief and
release from its grip can be pleasant, if one is able to just, as Frank
the
Iguana told Larry the Lizard in the Bud Lite Beer Commercials: "Let it go,
Larry. Let it go." :)
Anyway, let me make kind of a caveat here. Any time you see ANYTHING
involving ME, and GooRoovee... BE CAREFUL... You can never be sure that
sometime, somewhere, somehow, somewhere, someone will appear in the pixels
and say: "Smile, you've been entertained, even if it wasn't FUN!"
Hoping you are all well, and whether or not it was fun for you, it was fun
for me. :)
