The War in the Gulf - Home Party Version
(by John Berryhill)
The order of channel-hopping is NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN. At each
commercial, unless otherwise indicated by further rules, the channel
is changed.
If you hear someone on TV say "scud," take a swig of beer and change
the channel except during scud attacks (see below).
If someone says "Patriot," everyone in the room must salute. The last
person to salute takes a shot.
If a scud attack is reported, everyone must hold their breath. The first
person to breathe must go to a sealed room while everyone else takes a shot.
That player remains in the room until the "all clear" is sounded.
If someone says "somewhere in eastern Saudi Arabia" everyone must shout
"Dhahran." The last person takes a shot and must forego the next "scud."
The same applies for shouting "Riyadh" upon hearing the phrase "a large
airbase in central Saudi Arabia." Anyone naming the wrong city must
also take a shot unless they shout "Taif" before they are called on the
error.
Whenever Wolf Blitzer appears on the screen, everyone must shout
"woof woof" and drink a wine spritzer.
A shot of Kahlua and coffee is kept on the table. Whenever the phrase
"ground war," "ground assault," or "ground attack" are used, the first
person to grab the shot gets it.
Every time Dan Rather says something stupid, all shout "change the
channel." The last person to do so takes a shot and is forced to watch CBS
on another TV until the next "scud." I realize that this one is a judgement
call, but the odds are that it won't be long before he says something
stupid anyway. Of course, if Sam Donaldson is on ABC change the channel
immediately but I probably don't have to tell you that.

Religious strife, throughout history, has been the cause of
innumerable wars and conflicts, a major blight to progress, and is
increasingly abhorrent to the people of all faiths and no faith.
Followers of all religions must be willing to face the basic questions
which this strife raises, and to arrive at clear answers. How are the
differences between them to be resolved, both in theory and in
practice? The challenge facing the religious leaders of mankind is to
contemplate, with hearts filled with the spirit of compassion and a
desire for truth, the plight of humanity, and to ask themselves
whether they cannot, in humility before their Almighty Creator,
submerge their theological differences in a great spirit of mutual
forbearance that will enable them to work together for the
advancement of human understanding and peace.

peasant (Mark G Maxwell):
Form a small coalition of loosly aligned radical governments bent
on making the world climate suitable for the Fanged Beast of Traffla
when it comes from a nearby galaxy to claim its rightful place as
Head Accountant.

ricker69 (Richard J Rodriguez):
Wow...It's so good to be alive in the '90's...Back in the High life again...
Well, you have just fingered THE one and only Rick Rodriguez...you
don't know what you are in for...so...okay here goes...
As far as Musical interests, i listen to almost anything, except Western, most
Heavy metal, acid, industrial, and other "trash" music...
Favorite group is Petra; favorite singer is Michael W. Smith, and favorite
composer would almost have to be Debussy...though Bach is right up there too...
Favorite shows would be Star Trek, old and new, The Muppet show, Sesame
Street, and Airwolf...Movie titles range from, again, Star Trek to Firebirds,
Ghost, Glory, Henry V and Fiddler on the Roof...
Okay...so i have a wide variety of interests...but what am I like? That
could be a dangerous question...my friends say i'm from another planet,
namely Kamekron, the fourth from Cygnus...i was born in 273 B.C. Earth time
and came to Earth in 1973, with five other kamekronians...we are all
energy beings, though I took on human form to better study and get
acquainted with earthlings...Continued quiestioning of these same friends
will reveal a guy who's not exactly working on all thrusters...I have a
tendency to be a little, shall we say, abnormal, bordering on insane...
with a very warped sense of logic and reality...or so i have been told...
Other than that, i'm you're typical average Joe...
To finish off...two little tidbits, and peeks, into the "real" me...
"Remember: wherever you go, there you are..." - Buckaroo Banzai
"Excuse me, miss...is your father a thief?"
"No...Why?"
"Hmmm...then who climbs up into the evening sky and steals the brightest
evening stars and puts them in your eyes?"
ack...enough of that...I hope you had as much fun reading this as i had
writing it...Feel free to leave me email if you are interested in anything
you have read...
"y'all come back now, ya here?!"

therese (Suntioinen Therese M.):
At the still point of destruction
At the centre of the fury
All the angels all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand...
- Sting,
Dream of the Blue Turtles
