Subject: calling the Austin, Tx., clenches....
As the 1990's are fast approaching, we're pulling out of minneapolis and
moving our clench to Austin.
Our work here is finished; we decided to let them fend for themselves.
I have seen the crystal ships in the clouds above the horizon.
With spit on my finger, I rubbed their rims, and made them sing: a durge in
the key of "B."!! I sleep with a chameleon close at hand. my ticket is
assured. razor ribbon floss. I drink the eggested wort. And, we live on
beans.
Look for my machine parked, permanently, up on blocks by the iron works.
I should be coming to Austin in about three weeks to find a rambler to rent.
I'd be much obliged for any recommendations or advice, and even more so for
any volunteering of beds or floor space for a day or two.
As the one subgeni-behavioral psychologist said to another
subgeni-behavioral psychologist as they meet on the street: your fine
today. and how am i?

Please let me know as soon as possible, so I can get it all planned/worked
out before the time comes.
Time to have just a little more fun! to quote ol'eg:
a timid young woman named Jane
found parties a bit of a strain
with movements uncertain
she would hide in the curtain
and make sounds like a rabbit in pain

Hey,
Can someone in San Jose call up this BBS and see what's what?
It sounds like a good target for infiltration.
Also, please forward any other Xtian BBSs you might come across.

... "why iz sexuality treated on tv so poorly",
like..........................................(beginning of rant)
don't you wish you could turn on the tv & see a nasty girl
kickin ass in the best way, strong, independant, intelligent,
takin no shit, handin none out, sexuality integrated not mutilated,
sexuality represented with respect & the kind of enthusiasm most
lovers feel 4 the subject, not "dirty", but fullfilling?
are you tired of the same old same old treatment of sex, viciously
& surgically removed dangling from a steel pair of forceps
in the cold blue light of hospital/institution for the appreciation
of tired old men too chickenshit to face/embrace sexuality face 2 face
so they cut it out & put it on a plate where they think they will b safe...
i dunno bout youse but i am. wouldn't it be FUCKING great (pun intended)
2 turn on the tube & see a nice couple come home from work, be SO glad
2 see, treat each other like friends rather than adveraries, be SO horny
that they do the righteous thing 4 daze, (& not all tv glamorous people
neither, the REAL thing), & then 1 of 'em sez "you hungry?" and they go
eat a hamburger or something. wouldn't it be kool 2 see sex on tv that
doesn't degrade or humiliate anyone (and the "anyone" IS the woman 99%
of the time). wouldn't it b cool to see different types of couples too,
just like in the REAL world? wouldn't it b kool instead of the guy tryin
to bamboozle & overwhelm the girl w/ his fly savoir faire, he just makes
it known that her pleasure is his goal & goes down on her 4 3/4 of a 1 hr
show? why izzit that we see such a 1 sided and awful treatment of sex
on tv? why must it be mixed with violence? what kind of an effect will
all this diseased media sexuality have the kids who grow up seeing it?
i really can't ever remember seeing a tv show that treated sexuality in
a reasonable way. does or has such a thing ever existed? i'd LOVE 2
see it, sex is a kool thing in the right hands (feet, fingers, tongues,
nipples, arms, legs, & the things you might be offended by if i mentioned
them directly but i'm sure u no what i'm talking about (& why is THAT?) so
i won't but, yeah, them too --- O). give me real sex (a little love &
affection wouldn't b 2 bad either) or get off my tv set...."oh man...
shit...where's that #$&*#&^$^@$* channel changer thang when u need it?"

MOSCOW (AP)-- E. Frenkel, one of the Soviet Union's growing number of
psychic healers and mentalists, claimed he used his powers to stop
bicycles, automobiles and streetcars.
He thought he was ready for something bigger, so he stepped in
front of a freight train. It didn't work.
The daily Sovietskaya Rossiya yesterday said investigators looking
into Frenkel's decision to jump in front of a train near the southern
city of Astrakhan found the answer in the briefcase he left by the side
of the track.
"First I stopped a bicycle, cars, and a streetcar," Frenkel wrote
in notes found by investigators. "Now I'm going to stop a train."
Frenkel apparently felt he had found the secret of psychic-biological
power and that his effort to halt a train would be the ultimate test,
according to the notes. "Only in extraordinary conditions of a direct
threat to my organism will all my reserves be called into action,"
he wrote.
In the last few months, the nation has become awash with mentalists
and self-proclaimed psychics who are appearing on state-run television,
drawing huge crowds, and receiving thousands of letters requesting help.
The engineer of the train saw Frenkel, dressed in a white shirt,
walking along the railroad from a long distance. But only at the last
minute did the mentalist drop his briefcase and step onto the tracks.
"Emergency braking didn't help, a tragedy occurred," the newspaper
said. It did not say what day Frenkel was killed, or provide other
details.
