[Do not read this line. ARRRRRGH! 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.)
