I also downloaded my first browser (Mosiac) very early in 1993. - The amount of stuff actually available online not in gopher format was pretty small, but one could see the potential.

I remember using Mosaic in late 1992 or early 1993. As I recall, TMBG had an internet version of their dial-a-song going back then. It took approximately 3 days to get a song, on the fastest computers my stupid college computer room had to offer.

Yeah, it was merely a lame attempt at humor. But thanks to RT, if I were Roberta, I would now know to avoid Curves. Unless I wanted my money to go to anti-abortion groups.

Dear Not Bob,

I understood that your reference to going to spin classes at Curves was a joke. I did not even think it was a lame one. I'm sorry the others did not understand.

By the way, as can be seen from earlier discussions, the cult of spin class is totally out, replaced by Bikram yoga for the former spin class-culties I know. The only thing more annoying than listening to a spin class-cultie prattle on about how good spin class is for you is to listen to a former spin class-cultie prattle on about how much better Bikram yoga is for you.

Affectionately,

The Flower

Can't you just rent Girls Gone Wild?

No. I want to see the young mom dragging her kid to day care naked, or the new female associate. I also want to see the 40ish milf in front of me at the coffee shop in the morning.

If I wanted to see what happens when half of a woman's dorm at FSU has access to a tank of nitrous, three kegs of Bud Light and 40 bottles of tequila, I'd have gone there.

Complex my ass. You're a simple pedophile.

I've never done the Bikram yoga thing, but from what I've heard, it's kind of gross (the room is really smelly), and it is nauseatingly hot. Maybe it's the combination of the heat and the smell that is so lethal, but I've not heard many endorsements for Bikram. I suppose the people who are really into it might prattle on about it, but I've never encountered such people; although I suppose hanging out in the stinky room might improve my chances of running into one of them.

May I suggest that you start saving up your bazooka joe comics?

Dear Flower,

Thank you for your kind words.

As for Bikram yoga, I do not think that it has made it here to Podunkville. Or maybe it has, and I am just so out of it that I didn't notice. However, I am a wee bit concerned about the whole "smelly room" aspect of Bikram that gwnc and dtb have mentioned. I am afraid that clients might Not Appreciate it if any residual odor lingered on me after a lunchtime workout.

So, given the choice between the Not Hip and the Not Pleasant Smell:

• do I dare to take a spin?
• or do I suffer the stinky room, and use copious amounts of Brut (by Faberge) after a long shower?

Anxiously yours,

Not Bob

This is the shower. Have you two met?

I got a big taste of my own medicine last week. I think.

I have a habit of blasting music in the morning before work. I bought a dvd version of the Lips' Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (the record is astounding in surround sound... amazing). Anyway, I absolutely love the tune "Do You Realize?" There's somethin about the message of the song, the great effects and the Brian Wilson-esque otherworldliness of the harmony on it that really, well, puts me in a positive mood. The video shot on the Vegas strip with the models, people in rabbit suits and elephants is also pretty damn cool. So I'm doing my usual morning routine and my wife shuts the song off. She said "I can't believe you make fun of U2 and then listen to this cheesy stuff." She called it corny. Now I can't listen to it in her company.

I've been fileted with the sot of sneering judgments which I'm usually dispensing. I suddenly felt like I'd brought home a Mini Cooper.

Is that song corny or does she have shit for brains?

Trust me. She's not the one with shit for brains. You don't deserve a mini cooper.

What we really need is a strip joint that lets you see normal women strip.

Then you would have loved it when two girls were pulled on stage at the BYOB place. Now I know you're going to respond with an "it was staged" comment, but I'm not sure how you can stage a girl who becomes bright red with embarrassment, refuses to take her bottoms off and runs off the catwalk b/c the strippers were...stripping her.

The other one seemed to really enjoy herself though.

Lemme guess. You think The Joshua Tree was up there with Revolver?

Or do you just hate the Lips that much?
