"...if the evolution of
language were..."
Ah, a refined language ear.
Nice piece. I'll look into
Ms. Manners on your
recommendation.
Cheers,

Cheers, Bruce, you're too
kind! Actually, for a while I
toyed with opening a Poetry
Repair shop - you know,
Sentence Balancing and
Alignment, Cadences Smoothed
While-U-Wait, the works - but
realized I'd have way too
much work on my hands. When
would I have time to write
for Suck?

Right now, your stuff feels
like the work of a writer at
the height of his powers. I
won't bother to tell you how
many words I had to look up
this time. Best ending to a
Suck piece in recent memory.
Loved the part about your
default font in Word. Wow.
Sehr gut, Herr Xan !!
Yours,

"The work of a writer at the
height of his powers"? Oh
geez, I hope not - I'm afraid
of heights and mistrustful of
power! That's the whole
reason I live in this
basement in New Jers...
Actually, forget I said
anything.

Thank Heaven for Little Girls
Please can you include the
PICS ratings in the HTML code
for your site. I am in charge
of computing in a girls
school and feel it is
inappropriate that they make
their way to your site.
You have a moral
responsibility to ensure that
your material is only
available to those who wish
to see it.
Thank you.

<cdkerwin@icr.com.au>
Whoa, we're a little confused
here - the computers at your
girls school don't want to
make their way to our site?
Because we don't have pics?
How about you give us some
pictures of your girls and
we'll rate them? People would
probably wish to see that...

Just when you're sure you know
someone - e.g., Sucksters are
smart, funny, smartasses with
great width, no depth, and
the belief that a fast
reaction beats a considered
thought - something like your
article appears. You've
heard of the Great Vowel
Shift? You like Judith
Martin? You think sometimes
it's better to be seen but
not heard? My word, what
next? Manners? Literacy?
Nah. Stay as sweet as you are.
Nice article though.

Heard of the Great Vowel
Shift? Hell, we had one just
this morning.

Congrats to you and Terry on
Troubleshooting with
Management and the Virtual
Workplace!!!
It's almost scary how true it
is... I'm definitely going to
tell people at work about
your page. You have an
exquisitely edgy sense of
humor and Terry's beatnik/Ren
& Stimpy/Jetsons-style makes
for cool art!
Still laughing,
Natalka Herman
<natalka@idt.net>
I'm really glad you called
that old geezer Terry a
beatnik. He'll be very
honored... he even knows what
it means! Like coolsville,
daddy-o!

Er, do i know you?
More importantly, should I
call the police?

Uh, don't you mean "may God
bless and enrich your SEX
life"? But these muffins
won't actually enrich our sex
lives if we're not getting
any, will they, now? How
about a "Improve Your Rap"
Muffin or a "Learn to Live
Without" Muffin?
Besides, to improve your sex
life, all you have to do is
say the word "muffin" a lot
more, preferably to a member
of the target sex. Muffin.
Mmmuffin. Hello mmmuffin.
See?
On Suck
Dear Sucksters,
Hoo, have you taken
AltaVista's new LiveTopics
search engine tool out for a
spin yet? I'm not sure it's
working right. I used it to
help me fashion the following
query:
+host:suck +crack +addled
+hype -courtesy -credibility
but it couldn't find a durn
thing.
Steven M. O'Neill
<steveo@panix.co>m
Nice! Try this one instead:
+host:suck +smartass
+brilliant +insight
-stupidity -boredom
It doesn't work either! Durn
thing must be broken.

Regarding the new editor of
Cosmo - so what's your
problem with Canadians,
"former" or otherwise? It's
not clear how her birthplace
affects her ability to do the
job!
Laurel Bowman
<lbowman@uvic.ca>
If we knew the answer to that
one, we wouldn't be writing
for this bullshit website,
we'd be award-winning
anthropologists!
Filler Archives
Why can't I get at the Filler
archives beyond December?
There are links for it all
over... and they don't
resolve! I want my Filler!
I like my
Filler!
Sebastian Hassinger
<singe@outer.net>
Filler since December is
archived on the Daily
Archive, which is accessed
through the Barrel page.
Soon, there will also be a
complete Filler Archive.
(Please note: the definition
of "soon" is taken from the
production editor's Manual of
Terms: adv., referring to
"whenever I have time to get
to it.")
