[thelist] the internet paper...here's the final product

wow... i've never been cited in a paper before... the only other time i've been
cited is for driving on the sidewalk...

you need a more proper name, or does the anonymity of the handle contribute to
the timbre of the treatise?

wow... i still have some vocabulary... i wanna write a paper...

<tip type="post-y2k">
For those of you who have stocked up on canned goods, this is important.
Perhaps you've decided that the threat is over.  Or perhaps you'll wait until
March 1, or maybe you'll wait 100 days.  Whatever your wait-time, when you
finally realize that maybe the world won't end, put your stockpile to good use.
Donate it to a food bank, or the local shelter, or even right to the homeless
guy hanging out outside the taco joint.  You know the guy, the one to whom you
never give a burrito.  After all, do you really see yourself eating all those
canned kidney beans without the threat of starvation at your back?  Wasn't that
a worst-case scenario anyway?
