donsaner:    Rock!!!!!!!!! 
 Wilbur07:   Don!!!!!!! 
 donsaner:   i called in sick yesterday 
 Wilbur07:   I wrote about you and Zavada and your dad and your mom.  Hope 
you don't mind. 
 Wilbur07:   Yeah?  That's like 3 or 4 hundred bucks down the tubes. 
 donsaner:   no - thats fine - on some news group? 
 Wilbur07:   Yeah.  the chicago-bulls one, I've been writing a lot there 
lately. 
 donsaner:   naw, i still get paid when i call in sick 
 donsaner:   i read through some of the letters you sent. good writing. seems 
like you were speaking from a lot of different view points from your family 
members. how do you know all those details about your family? 
 Wilbur07:   what does in hoc signo vinces mean? 
 Wilbur07:   You're kidding me.  That's my grandfather's letter to his 
children, April 1966. 
 Wilbur07:   I have the hardcopy right here. 
 donsaner:   so you just re-wrote what he said? 
 Wilbur07:   No, I copied what he wrote word for word. 
 donsaner:   ahhh. I guess i did not understand that part 
 donsaner:   who is the julia you were writing to? 
 Wilbur07:   No prob.  Look at the writing styles, and the subject matter. 
 Wilbur07:   Listowner at Brin-L.  Got her pic, want a copy? 
 donsaner:   thats alright - im sure she is hot 
 Wilbur07:   I wouldn't know.  She's very very smart, and very married. 
 donsaner:   too bad. 
 Wilbur07:   Do you think telling dirty details about people I know makes 
them angry? 
 donsaner:   not if they dont know you are doing it 
 Wilbur07:   That is self-evident, I feel no need to prove or explain. 
 donsaner:   im bored with my life and need some major change. in a rut i 
guess - makes me depressed 
 Wilbur07:   Yeah?  Make a date with the stunners in your department.  I'm 
certain they're receptive by now. 
 donsaner:   no - im pretty sure they are not. very few women find me 
appealing "in that way". i guess that is part of the problem 
 Wilbur07:   You're only defeating yourself.  Even if they say, "drop dead" 
you'll enjoy the experience.  Trust me, I know. 
 donsaner:   maybe i dont take rejection well 
 Wilbur07:   It's not rejection, any more than you not liking certain foods.

icles
 
 donsaner:   testicles 
 Wilbur07:   lol, don't tell me you didn't laugh out loud at that one. 
 donsaner:   sure i did. where did that come from?? 
 Wilbur07:   rec.music.artists.springsteen.  Do you know how an internal 
combustion engine works? 
 donsaner:   sort of 
 Wilbur07:   fuel goes into the piston, spark ignites, drives the piston by 
rapid expansion, which turns the drive shaft 
 donsaner:   i think that is basically it 
 Wilbur07:   What happens when the piston container is not airtight? 
 donsaner:   valve problem - its the valves that keep it tight. i guess you 
would get incomplete combustion and not much power 
 donsaner:   those valves are pretty amazing 
 Wilbur07:   Damn they are.  Do you get Victoria Secret catalogs? 
 donsaner:   no i dont, but i do get a lot of mail for previous residents and 
some are womens catalogs 
 Wilbur07:   I get mine because I ordered an article for a girlfriend, and 
because my sis gets hers at this mailing address. 
 donsaner:   do you have yahoo IM?

Jai.  Lol!  You're either Dirk or Bob, and you're killin' me.
Beyooootiful! 
 Wilbur07:   Yeah I did. . . . but she arready been mooned. 
 donsaner:   mooned? 
 Wilbur07:   rec.games.computer.stars 
 Wilbur07:   Ray Stevens from "The Streak" 
 Wilbur07:   Buzz Aldrin, Niel Armstrong, and who else? 
 donsaner:   cant recall 
 Wilbur07:   Know the Gemini program at all? 
 donsaner:   sure a little 
 donsaner:   cool name 
 Wilbur07:   Gus Grissom was assassinated.  Dunno if that's good or bad.  
Sally Ride, the same. 
 donsaner:   assaainated??? when was this? 
 Wilbur07:   He lost a command module to the sea, and shortly after that died 
in an inexplicable accident during testing.  Looks like assassination. 
 donsaner:   oh, that is when the three guys got roasted in the test module 
filled with pure oxygen. there was a spark 
 donsaner:   pure oxygen was a bad idea - sort of like hydrogen derigibles 
 Wilbur07:   Pure oxygen?  You're kidding me, what was the combustible? 
 donsaner:   yeah, they switched it after that 
 Wilbur07:   Guys at mission control were either really stupid or really 
cold. 
 donsaner:   The thorough investigation by the Apollo 204 Review Board of the 
Apollo accident determined that the test conditions at the time of the 
accident were "extremely hazardous." However, the test was not recognized as 
being hazardous by either NASA or the contractor prior to the accident. 
Consequently, adequate safety precautions were neither established nor 
observed for this test. The amount and location of combustibles in the 
command module were not closely restricted and controlled, and there was no 
way for the crew to egress rapidly from the command module during this type 
of emergency nor had procedures been established for ground support personnel 
outside the spacecraft to assist the crew. Proper emergency equipment was not 
located in the "white room" surrounding the Apollo command module nor were 
emergency fire and medical rescue teams in attendance.

 
 Wilbur07:   If really cold, why not let Grissom out of the program?
