I forget the quote, but it seemed very cool. But when i saw the movie lately, i didnt see it anywhere. Anyone know anything about this? What is the quote? Is it in the movie? If so, where?

If any of you bidders are reading this, I've got a JUG OF WATER, yes, WATER from an estate auction that I'm letting go for the one time absolute low price of $200!! It's a gallon of sparkling H2O, used by the previous owner only to go to the store on sundays. It's the kind that your parents used to dream about and the stuff that caused empires to fall! Drink it, bathe with it, clean off your veggies, spray it at the cat, pour it in your neigbors crotch, look at it all day with a squinty glare that means to say "Hey, what did you do with my wife last night? Yes, I know it was you! Did she cry out my name when you did those disgusting acts?", or use it to water the household plants! This and almost a dozen other uses! Yes, you too can be one in a billion, by owning this delicious gallon of water! Fine Print-- Winner pays $5.50 shipping. Water is not of Holy origin. Jug consists of 22% recycled post-consumer plastic. Not responsible for one-celled organisms, dirt, or melting of witches. Mike "Why is the world in love again?"

Greetings all! I've been reading about how some people are having problems gettin' a hold of TMBG video, "Direct from Brooklyn." And this topic really bothered me. I felt that one shouldn't have so many problems gettin' a hold of this video, therefore, I would really like to help out us TMBG fans and the Johns as well. So, this is what I came up with. If anyone is planing to goto the 20th show and doesn't have a copy of the video yet, let me know. I currently work at Tower Records and know for a fact that there is a good handful of this video on hand. So, I can pick up a copy for you. It will cost ten dollars per video. And on the 20th I shall bring all the requested copies to the show. (so the buyer won't receive the his/her merchandise till then). Also, the purchaser won't have to pay until he/she receive the merchandise at the show. So, if you are interested or would like further information regarding TMBG video email me. But I need to know soon. There are only so many copies that are available right now at Tower. Os it's first come, first serve. Okay thanks. That's about it for me. Take care everyone! Bye. ~Carroll387 ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Jun 1999 17:18:57 -0400 (EDT) From: Josh Axelrad Subject: TMBG: SETI update and more! Message-ID: Hello, Great job everybody who is on the SETI team! By my count we have 97 units done and I have another 12 units joining the team on monday. As soon as our stats are updated we should be on the top 100 list! I wrote to ask them about our stats, but don't be discouraged. This is the first month of a 2 year project and they are still working out the bugs. The stats seem to be updating... just slowly... for more information and further updates check: http://seti.tmbg.net Also, I have hired my friend Austin to be webmaster for www.tmbg.net. He has been doing a lot of work updating and has it almost completely up to date. Since I am actually PAYING him, the site will probably become much more dynamic and up to date so check it out in the coming weeks.... I am heading off to DC tomorrow to pick up my cousin doug... so for you #TMBG people reading this... be nice to him :) don't make me look like a weirdo either...
