   (...) (I stopped reading .debate a while ago because I don't have the time to read the same old arguments, much less participate in them but I just had to respond to this since I glanced at it before hitting delete.) How can you be perfect and not (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: IP (was: Re: Any suggestions on a homepage?) —Larry Pieniazek

      (...) Or else, it's the odour produced by a Dodge Omni, which is rather distinctive by all accounts. It's right up there with Pinto smell (the car, not the beans, that's a *different* word) and Vega smell. All three are on the opposite side of the (...)

         Re: IP (was: Re: Any suggestions on a homepage?) —Adam Hoekwater
     (...) beans, (...) Oh man, that was terrible. But to address your question, yes, I was making fun of the way that Larry spelled "omniscient", he did it so as to include the word "scent".

   X-FUp-to: .fun (...) Look, if you want a proper answer from my omniscientness, you'll need to do a proper grovel.
