Here's my vote of support for net.bizarre. But wait, there's more. Why net.bizarre aught to exist: Net.bizarre will be a group for utopians who believe that people will post incredibly strange and amusing items, but not clog the poor thing. Here are eight guidelines for net.bizarre: 1. Never post anything less funny than your face. 2. Seeing a bumper sticker is not an item for Rippley's Believe it or Not. 3. Never discuss anything unless it's worth disgusting. 4. Never post followups. 5. Never crosspost. 6. Never post lists of rules. 6. There will be no cannonical lists because everything is too unique for it. 7. Anyone conducting polls will be poleaxed. 8. Net.bizarre should eventually necessitate the creation of net.psycho.ward. Net bizarre, like usenet, will be a forum for the criminally insane to entertain themselves. Try it - it's therapeutic and fun! American Heritage Dictionary: bi.zarre: Strikingly unconventional; odd. [F, orig "handsome", "brave."] Not to be confused with "bizzare." -- Laurence Roberts ...ihnp4!stolaf!robertsl "And with your spit/ still on my lip/ you hit the water"
