storytelling

You thought I was kidding, or exaggerating or trying to be funny, right?

Never, ever kid about Bob. In the last few days I've had at least three hundred comments from Bob. Really. Here's his address, in case you want to write to him: [email protected]

He's got lots of stuff to sell you, or, you can play poker with him. He's desperate to get to know me, and I'll bet he'll love you too. A lot. To excess.

In this difficult week, I happened (insert cough) to run across this FAQ page put out by the alt.angst group. Note:

2) alt.angst Protocols and Acceptable Behaviors:

a) alt.angst does not tolerate cheeriness in any form. This includes use of the notorious smiley (which is conspicuously absent here). If you feel inclined to post any stories with a happy ending, post them to alt.good.news, or some other forum -- perhaps alt.romance.chat. You'll be lucky if other members use such kind words to tell you to do the same.

Now I wonder: are there groups called alt.desperation or alt.snideandproudofit or alt.cultureofugly out there? Never mind, I suppose it would be better if I just don't know.
