What the f*** is Flapper talking about (?) you're probably thinking about now.

I note the BBS has you as 'Great Sage of the Sea' and I'm seeing these heavy philosophical aphorisms, and I'm thinking 'Be here now, RCK ... be here now!' (Stolen from Baba Ram Dass)

heh heh (((Ping!)))

Actually you have to break it down using the latin derivitive as adjusted for anglo saxon deflective semanical interpretation....it is,"ape-whore-ism" denoting (Websters definition) "Women who have sexual relations for monetary renumeration with tree swinging hairy things...either large African primates of Dieselboat Enginemen or Machinist mates."

This is weird...When I posted the original post, it was 666...then I posted the one below it and they both became 667...now they are 669..both of them keep going like a cheap Pep Boys odometer. Hell, at this rate, by tomorrow I may find them up around the 2700 mark. DEX
