Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger
Now he's dead

The line K almost had right starts out "Is this the real life? Is it just
fantasy?"

Gentlemen, Gentlemen,

Can someone just put a pointer to a song text webpage up so
this can stop, please? This way it might take a few days before you
finish the complete song.

It's from the song '39 on Queens, Day at the Races or A Night at the Opera.
I can't remember which right now.

Pratchett, not particularly. Gaiman, though, absolutely. (And since Neil
wrote most of that book before Terry came in on that particular
collaboration, it's mostly his fault that the book is as good as it is.)

Booohhooo, I think I'm going to shoot myself!
Guys, I was trying to politely say that this was dramatically off-

Stay right there... yes, thanks!

*sigh* Why?

I'm not meaning to sound harsh, and I'm certainly not GridSec in any way -
but I just got half-a-dozen messages in a row from you, Spike, none of
which were on topic. (Note I'm not trying to single you out or nuffin' here.)

Guys, please, this is just a plea from a fellow list member. A bit of [OT]
is fine, and entertaining. But this much is just ridiculous. :/

I think it's 'cos I'm skipping a lot of the SR3 topics because, well, I
don't have it. Besides, the reason they all arrive in a row is because I
reply to the mail sequencially. If something interests me, then I reply.

Anyway, the Queen thread has been officially dead now for.... ooooo....

Nothing interests you but off topic stuff. Take it off the list. There's
enough bandwidth coming through as it is.

It's been on the list for... about 5 days. That makes it 4 days dead.
