Heh, but that was Ginge, not me. (That'll get 'em wondering...)

You realise that you're not going to win the argument then?

I also didn't realise you were thinking about following the 'proud UKRM
tradition' but seeing the use of smilies I suppose the evidence has
always been there if I'd stopped and thought.

 

Probably not, but lots of them have lost it.

*sigh*

'Proud ukrm tradition' = sex change.

Smilies = Girl.

 

NAHAY? I followed up to you, how much more obvious do I have to be?

 

That should be S.T., Shirley?

the few intelligent posters or one of the less intelligent posters to
this froup?"

Fucking terrible example, but amusing nonetheless.

The Swiss weren't quite sure what to expect of the film "Die Hard".

Unconfirmed urban myth [well, more rural myth, tbh]. In the 60s a drive-in
movie manager in the middle of Septica was putting together an all-night
horror programme for the college-kids. He came across a film whose title
sounded promising in its very starkness, and ordered it sight-unseen. So it
was that at 3.00 in the morning they found themselves enjoying a film which
the manager thought was called "Die, Fledermaus".

No.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, frag belched forth and ejected the following:

"`'"your", YTC!', YTC!`, YTC!"'`", YTC!

 

$ `'"your", YTC!', YTC!`, YTC!
ksh: "your", YTC!,: not found.

Yes, he missed out an exclamation mark. Ok, not your fault, but the

I tried to find a way of piping all of a news spool into the shell but
failed.

$ `cat /var/spool/news` | sh -s
$ `cat /var/spool/news` > -
$ sh -c `cat /var/spool/news`

All stop after the first line.

I've no doubt there's a simple way of doing it, feeding it in a line at
a time, or telling 'sh' to ignore errors (until it gets to a random
line that starts with a valid unix command).
