The Talk2 List Rejected Relms (Scifi and Fantacy on Demand) - Friday, September 28, 2007
Hello all, This is just a quick heads up for everyone in regards to a show that has just returned to TBRN. Enjoy audio drama? Like to hear stories from beyond our mundane reality? Well tune in at 6 AM eastern, Mondays and Fridays to hear two top notch sci-fi audio dramas, as well as commentary from your hosts, JDX and psychorabbit, both of whom have extensive background in both audio drama and science fiction. We will be mixing the clasics which everyone knows and loves with things no one has heard before, but we can promise you only the best, and we certainly have something to please anyone. This week we started with two cutting edge new dramas. The first, Jefferson 37, tells the story of the world's first cloning institution, harking back to the clasics with minimalist production and a familiar toan. The second drama we are playing is the first in a series which takes sci-fi in new directions. It is essencially a ghost story, chronicling the investigations of Sapphire and Steel, two enigmatic detectives in time. The first story we are playing is The Passenger, a murder mystery on a train heading for an unknown destination, but whose passengers are all already dead. We try to provide a variety of different types of stories and to prove this, we have started with two very different dramas, one light and one very dark. In this way, we hope to keep u interested and entertained. Contact our hosts on air with your comments and suggestions. Just point your media player of choice to http://tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg and enjoy the right.
The Talk2 List THE HORROR OF LURKING
I got this from another list, and though I don't have issues with so-called lurkers on a purely informational list like what I have, I couldn't help but laugh at this. DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!! You haven't been LURKING in this group have you? OH DEAR!! Haven't you ever wondered why lurkers are seldom heard from again after they have been removed from a group for non-participation? I tell ya, the truth can be a scary SCARY thing!! Don't let this happen to you Read on to discover the horrors and dangers of being a lurker! Susan was found to be lurking in a group, she hadn't shared a thing for months and disregarded the notices from the group mods owners. After she was removed from the group... The very same afternoon... She was walking down the sidewalk when her panties got in a bunch. As she struggled to free herself from the merciless wedgy she was enduring, the elastic waistband snapped causing her skivvies to fall down around her ankles! She wobbled a couple of steps and tripped over her underpants and fell face first into a fresh pile of elephant poo left behind from a passing traveling circus! The elephant poo acted like an oil slick sending Susan skidding out of control with her drawers flailing around her ankles until she plopped down an open manhole cover and was flushed out to sea never to be heard from again! Ron was once a lurker too. He was a mild mannered midget from New Guinea. He too ignored the notices of participation from the group owners mods. After being booted from the group, he mysteriously went missing for years! Three years later, his shrunken head was found on a bobble head figurine at a trinket shop near the Mexican border! His head was then returned to his family with 20 Pesos and a bottle of Jose Cuervo! John was also a lurker who ignored the owners and mods. One day on his walk home from a long night at his job as the local bingo caller, he was assaulted by a troupe of angry nuns! They pelted him with bingo chips until he learned to share stats and email jokes with others online. To this day, John still has a nervous twitch and freaks out every time he hears an old woman shout BINGO! causing him to fall to the floor and cower in the fetal position under his desk! His therapist also states he has an unusual phobia to penguins now as a result! Fred too befell a similar fate as the rest for lurking in groups. He had belonged to a fantasy group but had not shared a thing with anyone in weeks and frequently neglected to answer his emails. After he was unsubbed from the group, he was sitting at his kitchen table grumbling to himself over a bowl of Lucky Charms cereal. When suddenly his underpants were invaded and overtaken by leprechauns! The clever little gnomes magically made off with his family jewels and Fred then spent the rest of his days chasing rainbows in the hopes of one day recovering his long lost Mr. Winky the boys. He eventually went insane from an incurable case of phantom jock itch! Lastly, there is the story of Claudia. A simple and quiet secretary from Idaho who was very much concerned with her appearance. She could often be found sitting in front of her web cam using it to watch herself apply mascara and lip stick instead of snagging and sharing like a good group member ought to. After she found herself banned from her favorite group for neglecting to participate she became terribly distraught and developed severe abdominal pains! She was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and was rushed to a local hospital. Unfortunately the doctor's handwriting was so poor that the surgeon misread it and instead of removing her appendix, he formed a large penis on her face in place of her nose! She can now be found working as the aardvark woman in a popular freak show in Albania! We won't even discuss what happens when she sneezes! DON'T LET TRAGEDIES SUCH AS THIS BEFALL YOU!!! PARTICIPATE IN YOUR GROUPS!.. SHARE SHARE SHARE! *** [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Did you miss a message?

Re: The Talk2 List THE HORROR OF LURKING
Ok how weird is this: I was playing a word game, where you have to find as many words as you can in a grid of letters, and I'd just entered the word lurk when I decided to take a break, and check my e-mails. And what did I find in my inbox? the horror of lurking. Now strange coincidences don't come much stranger than that, do they? OH and a very amusing read that was too. Painted lots of interesting and amusing pictures, and left me giggling long after I finished reading it. I love nothing better than a good laugh, so do keep the funny jokes coming in.
