[net.bizarre] In response to Apartheid

chuqui@nsc.UUCP (Chuq Von Rospach) (08/06/85)

I have decided that it is time for a strong statement on apartheid.
Effective immediately, I have shaved off my beard as a symbol of solidarity
with our repressed african brothers. And sisters, too. Oh, and daughters,
sons, aunts, uncles, and cousins. And, uh, well, you get the idea. Anyway,
I plan to continue shaving off my beard until South Africa realizes the
errors of its ways and gives equality to its repressed peoples.

Top that, all you couch potatoes!

Also in response to apartheid, I am instructing my couch potato to grow a
beard.  When the rights of the {brothers|sisters|sons|daughters} has been
restored,  I will shave it off and mail it to chuq.

Well, since Chuq has decided to shave off his beard for Apartheid, I have
decided to offer my own form of protest against Apartheid.  I will not eat
glazed beets until something is done about Apartheid.  I am, of course,
making the ultimate sacrifice, but I feel it's the least I can do.

Why do I get the feeling that some people on the net aren't taking me
seriously?

And I shall absolutely refuse to eat Neiman Marcus' fingers in a sandwich.

"Maybe with sauteed slugs or something?"

No! No fingers!

You know, I'd thought Uncle Neiman wasn't on the net either. I had kind
of surprised he had never made the list.  But, I guess, having no fingers
he was unable to respond.  HI UNK!

I suppose this gives new meaning to the expression 'giving somebody the
finger'.

P.S.  I'm still not eating Glazed Beets.
