Right peeps. As you will have noticed NecroMOO is no more
The wiz staff of necromoo did think long and hard about this decision and its a shame when a moo like necromoo comes to an end, but we had our reasons.
A few people have requested an explanation of why necromoo has been shutdown I'll make a note giving the details for people to read.
We also appologise for any inconvinience this has caused. If you have important stuff you want back from necromoo then mail the details to *wiz and we will get it back for you.
This MOO is not necromoo under a different name, its a new moo with new ideas and new staff, so please treat it as if it is a new moo.
Cheers

Right, as you all know, this MOO has the problems of a new MOO, with the player list of 2 already running MOO's. So, there is going to be problems / bugs. If you find a bug, please send it to *bugs so that one of the wizards can sort it out, when they get time.

There's not a lot of point moaning at any wizard specifically, as they will probably be trying to fix another problem, and they'll just get stressed...and that's not nice. Noone should get stressed here.

Wizards are the only people who can subscribe to *bugs, so you don't have to worry about looking a prat for complaining.

I've added something for those of us lazy asses who can't deal with having to type out the word "page" when we want to bother people from afar. ;)

I've added a "quickpage" verb to Craggy Islander (#374), which all of us are descendants of. You can now use a single quote (') immediately followed by a player's name to page another player. (For those of you who are fixated on typing out long-named verbs for this sort of thing, you can also use the verb's alias of "quickpage".)

Type `help #374:quickpage' for all the juicy details. Then bugger off.

There was an Irishman, an Englishman and Claudia Schiffer sitting
together in a carraige in a train going through Tasmania. Suddenly
the train went through a tunnel and as it was an old style train,
there were no lights in the carraiges and it went completely dark.
Then there was this kissing noise and the sound of a really loud
slap. When the train came out of the tunnel, Claudia Schiffer and
the Irishman were sitting as if nothing had happened and the
Englishman had his hand against his face as he had been slapped
there. The Englishman was thinking: "The Irish fella must have
kissed Claudia Schiffer and she missed him and slapped me instead."
Claudia Schiffer was thinking: "The English fella must have tried
to kiss me and actually kissed the Irishman and got slapped for
it." And the Irishman was thinking: "This is great. The next time
the train goes through a tunnel I'll make that kissing noise again
and slap that English bastard again."

Any ideas? @send Wildcard

i do remember an aminga moo server a while ago, but it was based around 1.7.0 (iirc) and was very slow.
also, as a general rulse, you need at least 16 meg to even think about running a moo ;)
for example, this machine has 48 meg and runs quite nicely :)

I should mention that swatcat did business with Bizzie.Com a short while ago, and she found that they were having quite a bit of problems keeping their server up, so she ended up moving her MOO to a different site. Those problems may very well have been worked out by now, but it would definitely be advised that you ask them about that type of thing before starting to do business with them.

Before any of you continue thinking that we don't appreciate what she does around here, I'd like to give a big, warm, fuzzy THANK YOU to Claudette for being such a helpful and supportive person around here.

Earlier this morning, the player we knowmost recently as Dave figured out a way to log in and screw with a bunch of players (including mine). Claudette stepped in to stop the shit he was pulling before things got any worse, and if it wasn't for her, there's no telling what that moron would have gone on to do. Needless to say, that fecker had better be afraid of seeing me around.

Thanks, Claudette, you are an asset to this place. When I'm in Britain this fall, I'll get together with ya at some point to treat you to the biggest, yummiest sundae you've ever had. :)

Well, if nowadays like most youngsters you wanna start your own band, i have been studying most bands and how they've formed, and come up with some tips.

Well, the main tip is to get a female singer, this is a hard process through which you must make sure your final selection has the following talents
1) Cannot sing in any form or way drunk Or sober
2) Cannot play any instrument in any way in any position in any form or state of mind
3) The lead female singer must also look like she's had a truck wheelspin on her face

NOW you've gone too far. A jokes a joke. But do NOT be slagging off the 2nd greatest band from Wales. (1st = The Manics).

Anyone who doesn't appreciate the music of Catatonia must die!

And as for your rules? OKay. Here we go:

Cannot sing in any form or way drunk Or sober?
Well, now. If you can sing better, YOU get the #1 album and loadsa money for doing it!

Cannot play any instrument in any way in any position in any form or state of mind?
Not EVERYONE who sings in a band plays an instrument. HelloooOoO? Sanity check! Admitally, some great bands have the lead vocalist playing the Guitar (Metallica, Nirvana etc) but in OTHER great bands, the vocalist just SINGS! (Pearl Jam, REM, etc). That'll be why they're called VOCALISTS!!!!

The lead female singer must also look like she's had a truck wheelspin on her face
Admitally, Cerys Matthews is not exactly an oil painting. More like an oil SLICK. However, coming from someone who REFUSED to have his picture taken, that's a bit much ;) In fact, from the photos I have seen of you, you aint no stunner yerself ;)

Right, all you hustlers out there I am pleased to announce the first Craggy Island pool competition.
As most of you probably know there is a lovely pool table in the sports centre so we are about to put it to good use.
there will be prizes for the winners and runners up.....quota + some other more interesting stuff.
If you want to be in the competition post your entry to *pool and you will be included in the first round draw. The draw will be announced sometime in the next few weeks, so you all have lots of time to get you entries in.
So tell all your friends and get them in it too. As I said the pool table is in the sports centre if you want to get some practace in.
good luck

Right, this is a reminder about the HELPERS. I know that with some things, wizard help is required. But, PLEASE. If it's a basic problem, e.g. Easy Code, Props, Messages etc etc, use the helpers!

You can see which helpers are connected by typing '@helpers' and, if you want to ask for help, PLEASE use 'page help ' rather than asking 1 person.

Anyone can become a helper, just type '@join-help' to join, and if you wanna leave again, '@join-help' will make you leave too ;)

So, please use this facility, it makes our lives easier ;)

Subject: 85 rules and instructions on being a man!

1.Don't call. EVER.
2.If you don't like a girl, don't tell her. It's more fun to let her figure it out by herself.
3.Lie.
4.Name your penis. Be sure it is something narcissistic and unoriginal, such as "Spike"
5.If you lose something that belongs to someone else, tell them you mailed it to them/already gave it to them.
6.Play with yourself as often as possible. Tell everyone about it.
7.Be as ambiguous as possible. If you don't want to answer, a grunt will do.
8.Always remember: You are a man. Therefore, no matter what, it isn't your fault.
9.Lie.
10.Girls find it attractive if a man has had more women than baths.
11.Never ask for help. Even if you really, really need help...don't ask. People will think you have no penis.
12.Women like it when you ignore them. It arouses them.
13.If, GOD FORBID, you have to talk to a girl on the phone, use only monosyllabic words and noises. Bodily noises are permissible.
14.TWO WORDS: Hack and spit. (Big loogies means a big penis)
15.Everyone finds a man more attractive if he can write his name in urine.
16.One sure way to make a girl like you is to go after her best friend. She will then see what she's missing and love you for not giving up on her.
17.Tell her you will call. Then, refer back to rule #1.
18.Don't wear matching clothes. People will think your girlfriend picked it out, and it will cramp your style on picking up chicks.
19.Lie.
20.Deny everything. Everything.
21.If you like a girl, tell all your female friends about her. Especially female friends you suspect may have a crush on you. (Probably all of them...you're a man remember?) They really want to know.
22.Don't have a clue.
23.If you get a clue, pretend you didn't and disregard it.
24.No means yes.
25.Yes means no.
26.If you don't get sex whenever you want, your balls will shrivel. You may get sick or even die. This is one of the most important rules.
27.If anyone asks, you have had sex in all possible positions and locations.
28.Much like an orgasm signifies the end of a sexual peak, sex often signifies the end of a relationship.
29.Feelings? What feelings?
30.Life is one big competition. If someone is better than you at something, either pretend it's not true or kick their ass.
31.Lie I tell you!!
32.DO NOT make decisions about relationships. If you are backed into a corner and must make a decision, stall. If you still must come up with an answer, leave yourself a loophole for escape. Example:
Q: "Honey, will you take me out for a romantic dinner?"
A: "Yes, if you can guess how many sperm I produce each day."

33.Every sentence that anyone says can be twisted to have sexual meaning. Twist.
34.At any given opportunity, point out how things look like various genitalia. (If, by chance, you have Play-Doh, make sure you make a replica of your penis. Exaggerate the dimensions by 25%).
35.Lie.
36."Love" is not in your vocabulary. don't even think about saying it.
37.A general rule: If whatever you're doing does not satisfy you completely in 5 minutes, it's really not worth it.
38.Diss your girlfriend. Beg and plead until you get her back. Diss her again. Repeat cycle.
39.Lie.
40.Apologize whenever it's expected. NEVER mean it.
41.If you hurt someone, pretend you care. Don't.
42.Try to have a good memory, but it's OK if you forget trivial things. You know, like your girlfriend's b-day and eye color.
43.Ignorance solves problems. If you can't see them, they can't see you.
44.It is never your duty to take responsibility for your actions.
45.Create new words and phrases to describe genitalia, sex, semen, etc.
46.Lie.
47.Play with your food only if you are in a public place with people you don't know.
48.Play with your penis only if you are in a public place with people you don't know.
49.If people express extreme disgust at whatever you are doing, DON'T STOP! This is the desired reaction.
50.You are NOT a virgin. Ever. Males are born without virginity.
51.You are male, therefore you are superior.
52.Agenda for a typical evening: Get beer. Drink beer. Play with yourself. Have sex. Drink more beer. Pass out.
53.Females do not care what you do to them as long as they get to please you.
54.Don't ever notice anything.
55.If you're going out with someone but you love someone else, don't say anything. Wait until the girl you are going out with falls in love with YOU, and then tell her.
56.Basic fundamental rule of dating: Quantity, not quality.
57.Basic fundamental rule of sex: Quantity IS quality.
58.Lie.
59.If you cheat on a girl, but no one finds out, then technically you've done nothing wrong.
60.Crying is not manly. Then again, if you are a man, what do you have to cry about, anyway?
61.If the question begins with "Why", the answer is, "I don't know."
62.Women are your napkins. Use them, and throw them away.
63.Remember, Every virgin girl is saving herself for YOU.
64.Don't ever let anyone say "I told you so." If you hear this phrase and it didn't come out of your mouth, go ballistic.
65.If your woman makes you go shopping with her, drive around until a parking spot right near the door opens up. If this takes hours, so be it. You will have the coveted "door spot" and others will worship your skills.
66.Other peoples' pain is strictly for your amusement. Laugh long, laugh loud, laugh heartily.
67.Lie.
68.If anyone asks you for a favor...make a big deal about how hard it is for you to do it, and then...remind them of this huge favor you've done for them at least every five minutes for the rest of their life.
69.69
70.If you do something really mean to a girl, and she doesn't want to talk to you, pretend nothing happened. If she still doesn't talk to you, casually ask, "Is something wrong?"
71.Three words: Let's be friends. Translation: I never want to speak to you again, but it's bad for my nice-guy image if your mad at me, so I'll pretend I want to be your friend.
72.Lie.
73.If you're on a date, and there is a lull in the conversation, tell the girl how many different dorms you've been laid in.
74.Here's a good trick. Tell a girl that you're going to leave for a few minutes and when you come back, you want her naked, sprawled on the bed. Leave, and go into her dad's room and tell him he should go check on his daughter. Then drive like hell. (True story.)
75.If a girl breaks up with you because you're in love with someone else, she has no right to be upset. Because, you know, SHE's the one who wanted to end the relationship.
76.The best sex position is you, lying face up... and twenty girls on top.
77.Default facial expression: Blank stare.
78.Spend your spare time thinking of excuses and shove them up your butt. Then, whenever you need a good excuse, you can pull it out of your ass.
79.If you are asked to do something you REALLY DON'T want to do, first try your manly best to get out of it. If that doesn't work, go ahead and do what you were asked to do, but complain that you don't know how to do it and continuously ask questions on how to do each little part. If no one rushes in to do it for you YET, finish the job in the most half-assed way you possibly can and then say, "SEE?? I TOLD you I couldn't do it." Eventually, people will stop asking you to do things.
80.Do not listen to "pussy music" such as Erasure, Color Me Badd, or Oldies.
81.Beer. Then more beer.
82.One word: FOOTBALL!
83.Real men beat up others who are inferior. I mean, we don't want the inferior of the species to get to reproduce ever, do we???
84.Discuss your pecs at every opportunity
85.LIE.

Don't you just love spam?

A kid comes home from school and says to his mom, "Mom I've got a problem." She says, "Tell me." He tells her that the boys at school are using two words he doesn't understand. She asks him what are they. He says "well, pussy and bitch." She says, "Oh that's no big deal, pussy is a cat like our little Mittens, and bitch is a female dog like our Sandy."

He thanks her and goes to visit dad in the workshop in the basement. He says to his dad, "Dad the boys at school are using words I don't know and I asked mom and I don't think she told me the exact meaning." Dad says, "Son, I told you never to go to mom with these matters, she can't handle them. What are the words?" He tells him...pussy and bitch. Dad says, "OK," and pulls a Playboy down from the shelf, takes a marker and circles the pubic area of the centerfold and says, "son, everything inside this circle is pussy."
OK, dad, so what's a bitch?"
Son," he says, "everything outside that circle."

I believe that "ml.org" is a domain name owned my Monolith (www.ml.org); they offer .ml.org addresses to the public, along with port re-direction -- which is how you made the connection between Craggy (feck.ml.org 8888) and the IRC Server.

So, no (though I'm not totally sure); Craggy isn't on the same server as the IRC -- seeing IRC is $evil.

Just wanted to say fairwell to the people who leave over the summer....Met some fine people on this moo...and some not so fine ones.....Yay Wiwo ;)
As I said I'll still be checking in, so you'll be able to MOOmail me still, you just won't have the fine pleasure of my wonderful conversation....You poor poor people ;)
So, hope you all have a great time.....don't miss me too much....Though those who are still here over the summer still have to put up with me for 3 months,bwahahaha...yay father jack :)

Thanks to everyone who has connected to this MOO over the months it's been online ;)

There has been some really nice, generous and friendly people on here....and Slacker was here too :)

Anyway, those people who aren't coming back after the Summer. Those of you I haven't spoken to, I'll miss not talking to you almost as much as I'll miss the people I did talk to. I think. I am of course ignoring Si in this equation.

So, if yer coming back in September, see ya then. If not, have a good one.

RingMOO is another British MOO, being hosted on a fast London network. It is based around the works of J.R.R Tolkien

The address is: morriss.grid9.net 8666 (Not related to my Moo - DiscMOO except I host the MOO)

Hiya,

Right, I've been busy updating the webbed mailing lists today, and here's the news.

You can read the mailing lists on the web, http://feck.ml.org:9990/

BUT, here's the cool thing. If you give a link (Like the one to craggy MOO above) then on the web, it becomes an embedded link! Yay!

Try it. Make sure that the http:// is either on a separate line, or that the address is one word on it's own. No leading with .....'s

Righty ho. As you will have read in a previous message to general, you can now put links in messages to mailing lists, that when viewed on the internet will actually turn into a link.


Now, up till now you've had to put the links on a separate line. Not so any more. As long as the link starts with http:// and is one word on it's own, then it'll work. So, I could put http://www.feck.ml.org/wildcard/8ball/index.html and this would appear as a link in the text.

If you'd like to join in the comp, all you have to do is mail your name to *pool and we'll sort out the first round.

Disclaimer: If only a couple of people join, the competition is null and void.

So, what can you expect to gain? You mean the fame and glory isn't enough? Well, okay. We'll be giving out prizes and stuff, quota and other more interesting things.

So, @send *pool now! The competition will start after the half term.

Unfortunately the web site is still under construction - but it does give

Just a reminder to those of you who don't know, and don't read the MOTD.

We have a public channel here that allows you to talk to people all over the MOO - without shouting.

@addfeature #416
@xconn public

Then use, 'xmit ' to talk
'xmote ' to emote.

Example:

xmit Hi there!

xmote grins.
[+][public] Father_Wildcard grins.

Have fun ;)

Hi there.

Today, 23rd November 1998, we held a poll for 1 hour. Here's the poll, and here's the result:

Father_Wildcard asked the question:

Serious one this is: We're thinking of removing @shout from #4 and subscribing all players to 'public'. Does this sound reasonable?

The Results are as Follows:

Yes: 66.66% No: 33.33% Don't Know: 0.0%

9 people voted.

So, the first poll passed.

I am starting a new poll concerning the status of @shout. If you want to take part, please @addfeature #1066 and type @polls, or help #1066 for details.

You also need to @subscribe #1065 then type @skip #1065

The poll will run for 1 week. Have YOUR say in the running of this MOO. @addfeature #1066 NOW!

Subject: Guests

Hiya.

I have (finally) got around to modifying the guests confunc() and do_reset(). Now, when people log in as guests, they can pick their own character name, rather than using the ones we give ;)

Here's the finer details:

When they connect, they get asked for a name, this is read() into confunc, and checked against $player_db. If all checks out, the original .name is stored in .old_name, and the guests name changed with '[Guest]' added to the end.. When this is done, :set_aliases sets the alias of the guest to the new name.

When the guest disconnects, the .name is set to .old_name. Old_name is cleared, and set_aliases() reverts the aliases of the guest to the original name. (On #94 it also adds the alias 'guest' so that people can log in ;))

So, there ya go.

Where's is this tattoo located on your body? I have a heart with a
dagger through it tattoo on my outer left ankle. I personally don't
like the dagger on mine - it's crooked. :P
Have any other tattoos? I have a black rose on my right breast.
I really wanna get another tattoo badly (it's been 5 years since I got
the heart). And I know what I want, but just don't know where to get

When you send a mail, it is stored in the Post Office, where, after 1 minute, all mail is sent to the MOO's connected.

So, even though it says the mail has been sent, it won't have until you are told about it a 2nd time.....

To be more exact, it seems that `@shout' is now an alias for `xm', meaning that it will send your speech through whatever channel you are currently listed as `talking on'. In my personal opinion, that's fine. However, I hope we don't truly intend to MAKE players listen to the Public channel (meaning that they couldn't leave the channel).

Were we intending to have @shout work like it now does (on whatever channel the player is talking on), or did we mean to make it so it would only send to Public (which would only succeed if the player was on that channel)?

Okay, I have added the alias @shout to xm, and the alias @shout: or whatever to xmote. So, they now transmit on the channel you are currently connected to.

All players are in the listeners & talkers property on 'public' this is a situation they can change at any time just by using @xsilence public.

So, is everyone happy?

Okay. Well, if this is not a MOO bash (Wild says it isn't), then let's just call it a MOO party that we'll all have an excuse to get together to drink and stare at the American.

I arrive on the 6th, which is a Saturday, but unless I sleep right when I get there, I doubt with my jet lag that I am going to feel up to partying like the madwoman I am that night. We could party on Sunday, but that will pose a problem for those of us travelling to Bath for the weekend.

However, regardless, I'd like to see the lot of you while I'm in Bath. Si, Claudette and I have decided that we're going to hang out regardless, and it's quite obvious that Tarot and I will be spending quite a bit of time together, too. I suggest if we wanna do something on Saturday we make it a bit tame or party until we drop on Sunday.

If for whatever reason you don't wanna drive all the way to Bath but you'll be in the London area Wednesday through Monday (10-15) and you'd like to meet me, e-mail me your phone number (kperlot@uu.net).

Getting closer to the time!!!

Subject: Wow!

Lagda MOO news! After 2 years or even more, the Arbitration system has folded!!! Rather than using a 3rd party to handle disputes between players, which normally ended with 'use @gag you fool', the system has finished. Here's the details of the ballot, the result and the implementation. I would like to say, I voted YES ;)

The Wizards will repeal *B:Arbitration
The Wizards will also undo any modifications made to the Arbitration system after its passage as a ballot.

Rationale: Arbitration has proven ineffective at conflict resolution. In cases of possible harm to the database by players, Wizardly fiat has proven effective at dealing with these bad apples.
Arbitration's main function seems to be getting a neutral third party to tell two disputing characters to @gag and @refuse each other (as any action greater than this results in it being overturned).
Also, in recent months, arbitration has proven to be too "partisan" to be effective. It isn't about resolving problems anymore. It's about sending people to stand in the corner for being rude.
We can do better. Getting rid of arbitration is the first step in setting up a system that actually works.

Wizardly Implementation Notes for Ballot #99022 (That this one)
-----------------------------------------------
All commands on all objects owned by Arbitrator (#232) will be disabled.

Setting the verb args to `this none this', and setting the x bit off will accomplish this. The system will then be unusable and disabled.[An exception may be made for purely informational and statistical commands on the system for historical use such as :description, :look_self, etc.]

**Note: This will affect all currently running disputes immediately. They will be stopped in progress. This will also affect all currently open Arbitration Proposals. They will also be stopped in progress.

The Arbitration help object, #1232, will be removed from #322.help and a new property will be added, #3223.Arbitration, which will have a short description of what happened to the arbitration system and will point to this petition.

(End of implementation notes.)

The voting period for Ballot:OMT (#99022): `One More Time!' has ended. The final vote count is as follows:
In favor: 276
Against: 137
Abstaining: 128
The proposal has passed and will be implemented by the wizards as soon as possible

So, there ya go, hot off the presses etc etc. Another outmoded, Polically correct, red tape waste of time finished.

Maybe soon, people will realise that MOOing is supposed to be an escape from life, not a mirror of it.

as you may or may not know, relatively soon ml.org will cease to provide domain services - for many reasons, the main one being hacking on their servers.

this means, the alias 'feck.ml.org' for craggy island will cease to be valid from sometime around the end of the month. so please don't use it!

the following are still valid:

necro.mcc.ac.uk
www.feck.net

Okay, lesse. From what I can tell, feck.ml.org is history now. I had players bitching yesterday that they couldn't connect.

As for the email thing, it's fixed now, as are the guestbooks that no-one uses.

I haven't had time to fix all of the Craggy homepage yet, but I'll try and get on it this afternoon.

I'm sure there used to be other wizards who did stuff you know.

This verb was stolen from WackyMOO. Obviously they talk about private things on there.

So, if you're having a conversation and someone's looking over your shoulder, you can simply type 'zz' which will inform everyone in the room that someone's reading. You however, will only see 'Okay.'

Hi there,

Well, today is the day that I've been wanting to avoid for ages. I've officially finished college. Which is good. I think. But, as you know this means that I lose my internet access. This means that I will no longer be able to MOO, E-mail, or just idly surf. So, I'm all depressed.

So, basically, this mail is to let you all know what it's been like for me here. I started MOOing on the now (and sometimes then) defunct NecroMOO, which used to run in the same CPU slot as this MOO does now. I was a innocent little non-programmer who quickly learnt 3 important rules:

1) NEVER annoy a wizard.
2) MOO code errors are rather vague...E_DIV anyone?
3) Jack is a git. And he loves it.

I slowly learnt my MOO code, and became a wizard on the now rather quiet JungleMOO, and then on several other MOOs. Then I set up Mindscape, and then shut it down again. Then came Craggy Island. And that's all the past.

What I would like to do is mention one or two people's names from the various MOO's I've been allowed to use. You've helped me get through some nasty shit over the last couple of years, and you've made me sweat over a fair few assignments too ;)

So, thanks to Russ, Neil, Laura, Emily, Em, Steve, Llion, Andy M., Kim (Yay! Raddish Guest), J, Bob, Si, Al, Dan, Sear (Or whatever), Steve Lockey (For what I don't know ;))
Thanks for everything....

I was considering putting a list of all the people who've fucked me off/over in the past few years, but I'm not that evil....or am I?

To people not mentioned above, thanks for using the MOO, thanks for talking to me - if you did - and sorry I never mentioned you. If I mentioned everyone I liked on the MOO's, this mail would be about 5,000,000 pages long.

I will be trying to get a job in the near future that will allow me to connect to the 'net once again.

But, for the moment at least, I am officially quitting MOO and the internet. If you want to get in touch with me, 07931 974406 - or talk to Laura/Em/Steve (Tarot)

One more thing....It's been emotional.

Thanks.

Hello all,
Hows it going? I'm doing okay down in London. It's a bit wierd, me being a decaded northener and now living in the south, but there you go. I have good job, designing web pages. Okay so its working for a big evil microsoft loving corpalrtion, but hey they pay well.

If any of you are at all intrested in have any kind of correspondence wiht me you can mail me at rpickering@uswebcks.com. I won't be on the MOO very much (as I'd proablelly never get any work doen if I come on here during working hours) but if you email I will proablelly get a quick resonce (and at worse a slow one).

if any of you are in london, could drop us a line I'd love to finally meet some of these wiedos I've been tlaking to for years.

Okay okay so tecnically speaking I am not in fact old, but there are certain times when you do feel that for your stay on this planet you've achieved precious little.
For example, whilst glancing over the tabloids with some friends they were olgling the page three model, who was eighteen.
Eighteen. THAT WAS FOUR FUCKING YEARS AGO .....for me.
Not that my lifes ambtion is to pose topless, or own a pair of breasts for that matter. but look at michael owen, Ronaldo, that little kid from sixth sense.
Having been in education for the last eighteen years and still having no idea what to do when I leave uni its a scary thought. I know people who are my contemparies that have kids, wives, morgages for gods sakes they've got pension plans.
It would be cool to do something wild and crazy to prove to myself I'm still young and vital but I'd rather go home have a bath and slip on some kenny G ........Fuck me. theres no hope is there?

Ah well time for a warm milky drink and then bed." Did I ever tell you what I did in the war........

Thanks muchly to Ishmael for his nice graphical look_self thing! It's that nice, I've made it used all over the MOO. Every room should use it now ;)

I have modified it ever so slightly, just took one of the for loops out and replaced it with $string_utils:english_list() which is just a quicker way of doing it.

As Ishmael said, it is ANSI compatable, and we are gonna be colourising this MOO in the very near future...once we get some time ;)

4) She must have hidden the plans in her pants. Send a detachment down to
retrieve them. See to it personally Commander.

5) These pants may not look like much, kid, but they've got it where it counts.

6) I find your lack of pants disturbing.


8) Han will have those pants down. We've got to give him more time!

9) General Veers, prepare your pants for a surface assault.

10) I used to bulls-eye womp-rats in my pants back home.

11) TK-421. . . Why aren't you in your pants?

12) Lock the door. And hope they don't have pants.

13) Governor Tarkin. I recognized your foul pants when I was brought on board.

14) You look strong enough to pull the pants off of a Gundark.

15) Luke. . . Help me take...these pants off.

16) Great, Chewie, great. Always thinking with your pants.

17) That blast came from those pants. That thing's operational!

18) Don't worry. Chewie and I have gotten into a lot pants more heavily guarded than this.

19) Maybe you'd like it back in your pants, your highness.

20) Your pants betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for your sister!

21) Jabba doesn't have time for smugglers who drop their pants at the first sign of an Imperial Cruiser.

22) Yeah, well short pants is better than no pants at all, Chewie.

23) Attention. This is Lando Calrissean. The Empire has taken control of my pants, I advise everyone to leave before more troops arrive.

24) I cannot teach him. The boy has no pants.
