Seven Stages of Snoozenet 107 at it this way: at least they haven’t overwhelmed us yet. Most of the jokes in rec.humor.dead.babes.new are still fresh and interesting. We can hope that people like newby above will go lurk until they under- stand the subtleties of dead baby joke creation, but we should bear with them if they don’t. Keep your cool, and don’t let it bug you. Ossification In message (6:00@cluck), chickenman@cluck (Cluck Kent) crows: In message (2374373@nybble), byte@nybble (J.

Before they go asking for this newsgroup, I point out that they should follow the rules. The guidelines clearly state that you should be able to prove sufficient volume for this group. I have heard no such volume in rec.humor.dead.babes, so I must conclude that this proposal is a sham and a fraud on the face of it. The last time we tried to post a dead chicken joke to r.h.d.b, we were yelled at to keep out! How DARE you accuse us of not having the volume, you TURD? This sort of ad hominem attack is uncalled for. My point is simply this: if there were interest in telling jokes about dead chickens, then we surely would have heard some jokes about dead *baby* chickens in r.h.d.b. We haven’t heard any such jokes, so it is obvious that there is no interest in chicken jokes. That doesn’t even make sense! Your logic is completely flawed. It should be clear to people by now that this Cluckhead is full of it. There is no interest in rec.humor.dead.chicken, so it should not be created. People like this really burn me. Doesn’t he realize that it will just take a few more newsgroups to bring this whole house of cards down around us? First, we get rec.humor.dead.chicken (and undoubtedly, rec.humor.dead.chicken.new). Next, they’ll be asking for rec.humor.ethnic. Then, rec.humor.newfy. By that time, all of the news admins in the world will have decided to drop us completely. Is that what you want, Cluck? To bring about the end of Usenet? Humph!

108 Snoozenet I urge everyone to vote against this proposal. The current system works, and we shouldn’t push at it, lest it break.
