Hello Everybody,

-=begin request=-

A BBS newbie made a request to Bj�rm Felten that may be
impossible for him, or any other Fidonet sysop, to grant -

I want all Fidonet echomail messages ever created.

LOL! I don't think you understand what you are asking for.

I have every message created in this echo since I was elected
moderator in 2002. It takes up 268MB of space here, meaning that
it's probably more than a quarter of a million messages. This is
from almost ten years after Fidonet's peak -- there's probably
another quarter of a million messages from the years before that.

Can your BBS handle even this one echo? It's not even the biggest
one...

-=end request=-

I do hope all sysops can help Bj�rn to fulfill the lady's request.
After all, he did admit the task is far too great for him.

Thanks in advance.

I've Seen Pubic Hair
Maclean And Maclean

I was havin’ me a burger
In a dirty greasy spoon café
I was eatin it with relish
When a man beside me turned to say
What’s that pubic hair
Doin layin on your bun
I said I never saw it sittin there
Are sure it’s really one
He stood up on the counter
And said now look here Blair
I’ve traveled all over this country
And I’ve seen pubic hair

(Chorus)
I’ve seen pubic hair man
And I’ve never liked’em there man
I’ve even got my share man
Beneath my underwear man
Stickin out here and there man
I’ve seen pubic hair

I’ve seen great ones, straight ones, on my dinner plate ones,
Long ones, strong ones, little curly blonde ones
Red ones, dead ones, layin on the head ones
Black ones, brown ones, little ducky down ones
Short ones, thick ones, growin from your dick ones,
Growin ones, showin ones, flowin ones, blowin ones.

(Chorus)

I’ve seen bushy ones, pushy ones, up against your mushy ones,
Slave ones, save ones, floatin in your gravy ones,
Pretty ones, dirty ones, fluffin up your birdy ones,
Neat ones, sweet ones, on a toilet seat ones,
Heffer ones, whipper ones, catch’em in your zipper ones,
Throw’em ones, show’em ones, flowin ones, glowin ones.

(Chorus)

I’ve seen bit ones, lit ones, around your sphincter lip ones,
Dear ones, queer ones, find’em in your beer ones,
Proud ones, loud ones, drop’em in the crowd ones,
Quiet ones, diet ones, burger, shake and fry ones,
Pop ones, quaff ones, floatin in the top ones,
Triple ones, frozen ones, shardin in the hoser ones.

(Chorus)

Ain’t no kind he hasn’t seen
I’ve seen Pubic hair

I have long advocated everybody should write their own obituary.
And have it published before they pass. That way, they can correct
any mistakes before crossing over to the other side.

Jim Morrison of the Doors said he can do anything.
That includes faking his own death. You do realize
he "died" in the bathtub, with a smile on his face.
And he had a closed casket during his "funeral".

So what did he do?

After his death, his junkie girlfriend rented a plot in Paris
for him to stay. But she only paid for 30 years. When the 30 years
was up, nobody thought to check if anyone was there. So both the
city of Paris and the country of France decided to let him (or
whoever was supposed to be there) stay for eternity, at no cost
to his girlfriend or anybody else.

You see, Both the city of Paris and the country of France get so
much revenue from tourists who travel to the shrine erected in Jim
Morrison's honor. And the best thing about it is no covid rules
apply. Not even during lockdown.

Original song title: "Joy to the World"
Original performer: Three Dog Night

Parody song title: "Boys Into Girls"
Parody written by: blackjack21

Jeremiah had a head fog
Said a girl was inside
He let her overtake the voices in his head
And she whelped out a bitch so fine
But I always thought she looked more like swine
Singin'...

Boys into girls
Lots of boys are girls now
Roys are now Trishas and they squeal with glee
Boys, you kiddin' me?

Rick he liked to swing like a girl
Tell you what he'd do
He'd go away in cars at the bars on the wharf
And back seat name was Sue
Swing it now...

Boys into girls
All their toys are yours
Boys gettin’ swishy and they re-pulse me
Boys, you kiddin' me?

You tell me Doug’s a lady
Loves to call you hon
He’s a thigh high liar and a vain beau rider
A trait spoofin’ pun of a hon
And he’s a mate lootin’ hon with faux buns

Boys into girls
Now they’re wearin’ pearls
Boys look like dishes, do they seat to pee?
Boys, you kiddin' me?

Boys into girls
Now the boy has curls
Boys into girls
Boys, you kiddin' me?

Boys into girls
All the boys are girls
Boys are just wishin’ they can be new she’s
Boys, you kiddin' me?

Boys into girls
Boys, you kiddin' me?

Joy to the world
All the boys are girls now
Lips look like fish’s and they’re creeps to me
Boys, you kiddin' me?

Classic fido programs typically don't support utf-8 so they can't show that correctly.

Then, also, some punctuation you use when posting articles from Internet
will look correct. Although, some NNTP clients (for instance
Thunderbird) automatically analyse the message text before sending it.
If your text was copied from UTF8 web page it can contains some illegal symbols for ASCII charset, and in this case Thunderbird will transform
the text to UTF8 automatically and nothing can be done. The way out is
only one - to filter wrong symbols. The main question is how. However in English the texts with bad chars are not very heavy problem. Another
thing is with Cyrillic texts. When I made my ReformatorQuoter I had to
make a very strong filter to prevent Thunderbird from becoming UTF8crazy. ;)
