I worked all day yesterday on two Hours of Slack composed of the best
of the last 3 weeks of live ESO Radio chatter about warfull things,
plus all the war related original material from a.b.s., which was
mainly by LeMur and Salina. Two whole shows of sick sick takes on the
Horrible War Thing.

Well, SHEEEIT.

The phone wakes me up this morning and it's Chaz saying, "Wake up you
old coot and TURN ON THE TV!" Last time that happened was the attack on
the World Trade Center.

So, I'm happy as hell to see it looks like the worst is over and the
wrap-up might actually not be too bad or drag on too hideously,
relatively, maybe. We're proud that DobbsCo Munitions served all sides
so dependably. BUT GOD DAMN IT, WHERE'S BAGHDAD BOB? Mohammad
al-Shahhaf. My main man. Probably already on his way to L.A. with a hot
Fox contract in his hand, trying to decide between wrestling
commentator or new judge on "American Idol."

And now I have these real funny but already grossly outdated shows.
Gotta come up with some kind of excuse for the time-phase. Luckily
there's a whole side-rant on Time Control already mixed in there. Huh
-- I guess I must be getting better at Time Control... using it for an
excuse BEFORE I knew I needed an excuse.

Thank goodness we didn't make any predictions about the war in these
shows. I learned my lesson in '98 apparently. YOU JUST DON'T KNOW.

So now there are basically NO COPS in several of the big cities in
Iraq. The locals already got to the computer gear, looting-wise,
otherwise I'd suggest that there might be a monitor for Nenslo over
there somewhere. Before the British and U.S. soldiers become the cops
by default.

Someone reported seeing an Iraqi with a hand-written sign reading,
"HUMAN SHIELDS: GO HOME, U.S. WANKERS."

I understand that the various provinces and tribes of Iraq are now
being divvied up between various American companies as far as where to
put what factories and who'll run which fast food franchises.

But I'll wager that we'll NEVER EVER be told the TRUTH about what
happened in the underground future-city beneath Baghdad. OOPS, there I
go, making predictions again. I shouldn't be surprised if there's a TV
special by Friday with Baghdad Bob hosting the incredible footage of
the giant radioactive apes battling the flying jetpack robo-men as lava
and flaming oil erupt into the streets of the Flash Gordon-esque
underground city.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BET: BAGHDAD BOB BOBBLE-HEAD DASHBOARD FIGURINES BY
NEXT WEEK.

Ooops.

Aaah, the anti-war shows have gotten quite popular here in Champaign.
I'll bet I have 100-200 new listeners just in the last 2 months. I got
a spontaneous drive-by fund drive pledge 2 weeks ago.

On the other hand, those white/blue memorex CD-ROMS have GOT TO GO.
Only one of our pro CD players will read them at all..!

I always do, Dougie.

I was right in '91 and I'm right once more. It ain't over - more correct
predictions yet to come. You'll be hearing a lot of me on the appropriate media
for the the next indefinite while.

ANTI-WAR?!? Shit. I thought I was supporting the troops.

That's ironic -- those "Music CDs" cost extra! Memorex... figures...
must've been on sale that week. Well, they're all gone. I just now
finished #884 and 885. I'll put yours on the Fuji and see if that's any
worse.

Yes, Dean, you very specifically said the war would last 3.5 weeks.
3.5 weeks vaguely in the summer.

On March 19, I thought of your public prediction.

You may now go back to rescuing Manhattan from earthquakes or whatever
it is that you do.

Or -- what's STILL HAPPENING!

Maybe they'll come crawlin' back outta those tunnels and BITE us in the ASS! I
hope they do, then Dean and his purple turban can go back to sucking Criswell's
COCK!

Keep up the stalking, Doug. Glad to see you doing your homework. Summer
prediction was changed a month ago.

I collect kook material, and you're a kook that calls yourself Bob
Dobbs, so of COURSE I read your posts. As I have said before. I rarely
bother to respond to them. You still occasionally surprise me with the
transparency of your desperation. The desperation itself is old
history, it's just the transparency that's surpising. I saw your
prediction on the Cloak and Dagger site and made a note of it because
it was unusually specific, and I thought it might later make good
mockery fodder if you were, J'lahn-like, actually dumb enough to quote
HALF of it once the war happened. You said, "Mark my words," and that
was one time that I followed your suggestion. Yes, I care enough about
you to make fun of you, if you set yourself up for it well enough, and
if there's an appreciative audience.

I have continued to read the Cloak and Dagger site even though you
weren't posting there, because I find their weird fractured takes on
politics fascinating.

Dean, the ONLY reason I pay any attention to you at all is because you
use the name Bob Dobbs. That's the reason anybody ever pays any
attention to you.

I figured that nobody else here would have noticed your obscure war
prediction on that obscure website, so how could I resist pointing out
what you'd memory-edited from yourself? You have gone and slipped on
your own banana peel again, boy.

SHITTY memory-editing only works for the SHITTY MEMORY EDITOR.

You are one silly merehume, Doug, and I enjoy your making a fool of yourself.

Me, I never make a monkey of myself. And that's the truth.

Depends on which site. I now post on their new forum.

The response, Doug, is so fuckin' ridiculous that I just had to say it
