Normally, we would suggest that test posts be replaced by actual
messages, with real content. But given the identity of the poster in
this case, I think we should all be thankful not to have received the
twisted tirade about rabid, perfumed marmosets that would have surely
taken its place.

Dear Mr. Oliver,
I recently took your advice about obtaining a clicking noise
through the expedient use of increased finger pressure at greater
velocity on my keyboard. I did indeed obtain a clicking sound.
Imagine my despair when I found that the clicking noise had, in
fact, been my fingers fracturing and eventually snapping. I am
holding you personally responsible for this fracas and the
subsequent loss in earnings over the next three weeks could run into
the tens of pounds.
We need protecting against the ill advised advice of keyboard-
advice cowboys who advise us inadvisedly. Why oh why is this not
punishable by 15 years hard labour on a diet of liver and sweetcorn?
Bring back National Service, never did me any harm.
You will hear from my solicitor in the near future. Needless to say,
I will send a copy of this letter to my MP.
Miffed, Bootle.

Good. You have spoken the secret phrase and have gained clearance.

Kirk : "Quick, raise spoiler spaces!"
Chekov : "Too late, Keptin. They've lauched a snipet of
information about the new Starbug wessil"
Kirk : "Return fire! Launch flame"
Spock : "Direct hit. The newbie has bitten and we're
reeling him in"
Scotty : "Ah ye canna change the laws of posting, Jim!"
And the moral of the story (because, being an episode of Star Trek, there

Well, here it is -- the not-so-long-awaited, and not-so-eagerly-
anticipated:
ALT.TV.RED-DWARF DRINKING GAME!!
================================
This idea came about last Saturday afternoon, when a few of us more
alcoholically-minded atrders (yeah, could have been any of us, but
in actuality -- myself, Miffy and Alsion) were discussing drinking
games. Anyway, you don't want to know the history do you? You want
to skip down to the game itself and see if you're there. In fact if
any are still reading this boring intro bit, then Hi. It's a credit
to you, but I'm afraid the others had the right idea after all and
now you've got a bit of catching up to do!
Anyway, the contributions below come from myself and Alsion. Just
play away (er, at the drinking game, I mean...) at every new news
session. :-)
And a *teensy* disclaimer...
1) We're not making a personal attack on anyone, just in case some
might think that (you meow who I mean!
