#111 - [ Age Reference Textbook ] [ xod ] Please, tell me.. At any point during your life were you given a textbook that acts as an age reference guide for people? Confused? You should be. I am. Basically, the thing that has always annoyed me is when people say something along the lines of: "Oh, You don't look 18, I thought you only looked about 14" or "Oh, you're 16, Shit, I thought you looked about 25!" I mean, has anyone ever actually seen a textbook diagram of what a 14/16/18/25 year old should look like? Isn't age in the mind? Yes, yes it is. /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=...

#110 - [ Bryan May was The Moon ] [ oddball ] When I was walking home tonight, for a minute there, the moon looked like Bryan May. As stupid as it sounds, it did. Clouds had formed around it, creating big hair surrounding the moon, which resembled a face. That face was Bryan May. /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ Long Dark Tunnel 2003. - http://ldt.aguk.co.uk - ldt@hushmail.com \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/

#109 - [ The Empty Scene ] [ xod ] I look back with a sense of happiness. Even though i'm sad its gone. At least I was there, at least I felt it. At least I can say I was a part of it. The scene, the times, the drinks, the fights. The thrills, the spills, "we know we're right". The years wasted, the years gained. The idiots wasted, the idiots tamed. Oh, we were idiots. But oh we were right. Up for the fight, 'cause we were 4 life. /-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-\ Long Dark Tunnel 2003. - http://ldt.aguk.co.uk - ldtz@hotmail.com \-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-...

#108 - [ Mindless drivel is intelligable and actually makes sense ] [ Blackshark ] I have just been reading over some of the LDT texts, one in particular hit me.....n0soul, "No one respects geeks" (http://www.ldt.org.uk/ldt057.txt). It amazed me that this can be so true, in my mind i can fully quantify this to be a definate plausibility of fact rather than a far fetched dream. Now im not saying this is mindless drivel, but its something that has obviously got a lot of thought in it, i like it, it may be to some individuals not true but lets put it this way. Who made the stuff that you are using to read this now? We did, who m...

#106 - [ WELL, FUCK ] [ AlterEcho ] I can't do this. I'm sorry. I just can't. I mean, I'm trying and everything. I sit here at home and every instinct in my body is shouting for me to call you, to message you, to email you. And the part of me that knows the truth somehow manages to resist temptation, against all odds. It's not fair, you know, for you to leave me like this. The other day, when I heard you laughing, I thought, do you even care? Does it bother you how cut up I am? You leave me lying here on the floor, in pieces. And even when I finally glue myself together, the cracks will still be there. I will see them...

#105 - [ The 23 Sayings of Dr. Cheese ] [ Dr. Bryan Thompson ] Dr. Cheese has the 23 laws of Dr. Cheese. All that obey Dr. Cheese will be obeyed by Dr. Cheese.

#104 - [ The amazing Wondersphere] [ Dr. Bryan Thompson ] The "amazing sphere" was constructed by Ivan Zebuzchevesky, the legendary and notorious Russian mad scientist at around 1865. During that time, the civil war had just ended, and his source of income, making war inventions for the union and confederacy alike had yielded him millions of dollars. During that time, he was also made a noble in the Russian aristocratic system, and gained great honor and prestige in the royal and the science community But over the war, he frittered almost all his money away on attempting to construct impossible invention's and alcohol, women, and his...

#103 - [ Ramblings ] [ Dr. Bryan Thompson ] I just finished a CD that I created on the computer. It sounds like crap. Though, when you think about it, it is really quite good. Except, finishing it did not seem as such a victory. I completed it after only a few hours of work. It took place over two days. And the background for the chorus I just got from another CD. I didn't spend any time on it. It wasn't an achievement or triumph or anything as such. It was mass produced and pointless. What is the deal with this new fringe computer generated text literature trend? Literature is now impersonal and even done by thoughtless computer...
