Speaking of orthogonal, what happened to *PLONK* as a code outburst for chagrin a being tromped by somebody smarter-assed, well, more adept at haughty bon mot triumphalisme. *PLONK*s were once frequently used here to hawk loogies. The archives show over 30,000 sneezes from about 2 million snorts. 29,000 were by Mr. Tim May, 500 by Monsieur Perry Metzger, 499 by Detweiler, a universally beloved pseudonym, though less popular in the American (forever a) colony than Euro-septic Luther Bissett. You say you missed about 1.9999 million of the wheezes. Well, then you are a super*PLONK*er who unsubbed after bazooka-ing your bugger, mooning your crack as the outdoor whacked it. Or pretended to unsub and hunkered down to see if anybody cared (Old French: "gave a shit"), or resubbed under a pseudo snot-me. Truthsayers claim over 98% of cpunk subscribers are one humanoid keyhammering about having to code for the 2% fuck-offs topside spitting sub-juvenile filos0fikal cant to consumers agog at the wonders of laborsaving digitalizers commanding them to spend thousands on upgraded error spreaders. This outrage must stop. Mark Klein nasaled.
