Ol'WDB's Column
This week, Maine Logic

(A funny)

A Texan, a Canadian, and a guy from Maine are out riding horses. The Texan pulls out an expensive bottle of whiskey, takes a shot, then another, and suddenly throws the bottle in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the bottle in midair.

The Canadian looks at him and says,"What are you doing? That was a perfectly good bottle of whiskey. The Texan says, "In Texas, there's plenty of whiskey and bottles are cheap."

A while later, not to be outdone, the Canadian pulls out a bottle of champagne, takes a few sips, throws the bottle in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots it in mid air also.

The guy from Maine can't believe this and says, "What did you do that for? That was an expensive bottle of Champagne". The Canadian says "in Canada there's plenty of Champagne and bottles are cheap".

So a awhile later the guy from Maine pulls out a bottle of beer. He opens it,takes a sip, then another sip, then chugs the rest. He then puts the bottle back in his saddlebag, pulls out his gun, turns around and shoots the Canadian.

The Texan, shocked says, "Why did you do that?!?" The guy from Maine says,"Well in Maine, we have plenty of Canadians, but bottles are worth a nickel apeice."

*No malace intended, was amused that the Texan was not the "goat" FOR A CHANGE... Perhaps I'm the "BUTT" for it. Haha

What: Fidonet Region19 Webpage

Where: http://bise.tzo.com/r19/

Note: Since I'm the "author" of this page, I feel rather strange doing the review. :)

What can I say?? It's a good page IMHO. We started with a graphic created by one of the R19 members (graciously donated) and added the "dog with diskette". for the most part, this is a low graphics page. It should load fast and is designed for information rather than "flash". There are contacts for those interested in joining or just wishing to "get in touch". On the other pages, you will find more information and links.

Two of the things I like best is the information "blurb" on each page and the "Glossary of Terms". Each page has a short text describing a part of Fidonet related to that page. The "Glossary" is available from each page as well and contains definitions of some of the terms used in the pages and in Fidonet in general.

On a personal note, I've always wanted a Fidonet site that helped new visitors to understand "what the heck we are talking about". :) I think the Glossary is a good start on that and would like any new definition that someone might offer. Also, feel free to link to that page and/or other pages at this site. Pass the links around and help get some interest in Fidonet going.

Till next time,
