Well folx, thanx for all the bizarreness over the years.  
I'm off-net indefinitely after today.   It's certainly been.

Obligatory Goo:


	Bonehead's Essay

   Bonehead's  favourite themed suite at the FantasyLand hotel is, of
   course, *THE ALBERTA SUITE*. There are a  number  of  reasons  for
   this, which will be expanded upon duly.

   First of all, Bonehead is the most patriotic thing there ever was.
   Thus, nothing  could  ever  be  chosen  above  something  so  very
   Albertan.  This  patriotism  will  last forever (or until Bonehead
   moves elsewhere), so this choice has a very temporary permanency.

   Secondly, Bonehead loves the thought  of  sleebing  in  a  pick-ub
   trug.  There's nothing like it. Sleep becomes just a pure thing in
   a pick-up truck. Due to  shock  absorbers,  ridges,  and  12V  DC,
   *WHAT* becomes VERY VERY interesting indeed; better even than on a
   water bed (maybe). If you don't  know  how  to  *WHAT*,  ask  your
   parents, or reach puberty.

   Finally, it is Bonehead's almost sincere belief that all the other
   themes are pure gook.  Nothing  but  pure  gook  as  a  matter  of
   fiction. Hence, *THE ALBERTA SUITE* is the whey to go.

   How would Bonehead spend a night in a pick-ub truck suite?  That 
   one is easy.  We would firstly get a bit of sleep (due to it being
   a pure thing).  Secondly, if we had our respective girl-friend, we
   might engage in a little bit of *WHAT* (is this too racy for you?).
   And lastly, we would get up in the morning and try to avoid paying
   our bill.

   Hence, we have Bonehead's unanimous choice for a suite, the *ALBERTA
   SUITE*, and his unanimous choice on spending a night there.  Please
   don't report us to the Crob's.
