This summary is rather longer than usual, so I've organized it somewhat
differently from normal.
Each individual subject line has its own little section, and the sections
are ordered by decreasing message count. The idea is, when you get bored,
you can be reasonably certain that nothing more interesting than what you've
already read is waiting below, so you can stop reading without worry.

Doom
Robert Shiels, looking for something to do with his 40MB, asks about
Doom for the palmpilot[1], which quickly morphed into a discussion of
the difference, if any, between pr0n and erotica[2][3][4][5][etc], class
structures, and whether men are apologetic about being men[6], then
into bad advertisements that will be covered in the 'Shitverts'
subject.

Shitverts
ARP was complaining about a commercial for something called 'one2one',
which he evidentally thinks is American, but I've never heard of them.
matt jones dislikes the commercial, too[1]. There's discussion of a
bad Coke commercial, too[2], leading to discussions of how clean
Manhattan is[3] and whether brands like Coke really need to advertise
still[4], leading in turn to branding and napster[5] and how funny
british people talk[6].

I'm {48,n}% gay
Various people took a test measuring how gay they are and reported
back to the group. I think Randal[1] is the gayest straight person
here (I'm pretty sure he's mentioned Jennifer Connelly before, which I
take as evidence of straightness). I couldn't figure out who the
straightest gay person was; it would have helped if people would have
reported their actual claimed sexual preference along with their
scientifically determined gayness quotient. Next time, people, do it
right.

America's Wildest Chases
ARP discovered one of the wonders that Fox TV has foisted on the
American public[1]. This may help explain some of the jokes on the
Simpson's for people living on the right side of the ocean (that's
right opposed to left, not right opposed to wrong).
This morphed into a subthread on America's Wildest Cheeses, which
aren't actually very wild[2]. And for reasons I'm not at all clear
about, that morphed further into Michael's plans to make 'eggs with
salad cream' on Wednesday[3]
It also, somewhat more reasonably, morphed into a discussion about how
fast one can drive, both legally and actually, in various
areas[4][5][6].

Movies, starting with _Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back_, with
mentions of how annoying Jay is[1], two word quotes in other
Kevin Smith movies, and whether something that short is
actually a quote[2], a shorter replay of the recent
liberals-can't-take-a-joke thread[3]. Next up came Nick LaBute's
ouvre[4], which is rather bleak and misanthropic[5].

Layering
Simon Wistow looks for recommendations for new music; he also compares
faux layered clothes to a variety of other social ills[1]. Celia
suggested Echolalia[2]; Paul Mason called stuff from 94-96 "old
stuff"[3], reminding me that I'm getting old. Other people had other
suggestions, but based on the names nothing that would appeal much to
me, so my eyes glazed over. Don't like that? Next week, you can do
the summary. This group talks way too much.

feed them where they are, not to catch them, at least for now[4].

Niklas brought up "Ash" in _Ash_[2], a book that I keep hearing great
things about but haven't been able to get more than 15 pages into.
Does it actually turn interesting?. Some little book by a guy named
Tolkein or something like that was mentioned, too.

Trolling for Liberals
Oh, this wasn't last week after all. Simon Wistow shows GLAAD being
as desiring of controlling what people view and think as the religious
right has been about gay content in media[1]. Niklas again tries to
point out to Daynal that she apparently has him killfiled and may not
realize it[2].

I bought a CD
As the subject line says, except that it was Alaric who bought it, not
me, Alaric being the person who wrote the message[1]. Unmentioned in
the subject line, he also bought a comic book and he likes plain
brunettes in skirts, and it's his stepbrother Simon's birthday
tomorrow, which would have been Monday. Nobody wished Simon a happy
birthday.

Lessing
Someone named Doris Lessing doesn't like President Mugabe, ARP tells

CyberDog on Mac kinda guy.
