Proper Acknowledgement of my Friends and People Who Owe Me Money:

Photo: Group picture of my actual friends. I'm the guy with the black and white striped shirt and blue jeans!

BONUS: These punks go to the Phoenix so often that they are actually in one of the "View the Phoenix" images. Look for PJME (standing to my left in above photo), Kostka (wearing blue and sitting down), and John (top right corner with the cap.) Hint: They're at the bottom right corner of the Phoenix picture.

THE DAMNED:

The Mailing List of the DAMNED started off in May 1995, when my friends decided to reply to all recipients creating a positive feedback loop that in theory would reach a critical point were the number of messages waiting in our inbox would reach infinity. But while waiting for this to happen, we write back and forth about some of the most insane and inane topics known to man. Yes, we even have a homepage for the Mailing List of the DAMNED now. I don't know why Lizard Man put it in the Nashville section. Then again, why is this page in Napa Valley???

DAMNED-Xtrme is a branch of the MLOTD, which specializes in retro-spam. Basically, we send mass-mails BACK to spammers who send unsolicited e-mails to our accounts. To date, we have gotten at least 5 direct replies from ticked off spammers using language that I should not mention here. Others have cancelled there accounts, and most have had their inboxes filled up because of us.

The Sarnia Boys were a bunch of new recruits in the MLOTD. They were friends of Lizard Man's. It turned out that they were even more insane posters than the original DAMNED, thus out of annoyance, we booted them off to start their own group. I haven't heard from them since, but I assume they are up to their old tricks. Fear them.

The Mailing List of the DARNED is what I call my friends from UofT. Also referred to as the JJ Muggs friends, I have yet to find an appropriate nickname for them as a group. I've got a page for them, so you can check that out.

• PJME is the biracial, owner of fancy sigs, archive of historical facts about Toronto and the transit system, poster of forwarded messages, organizer of street hockey games, and one of the founders of the BMCR. He a a member of the TRIBE, which is... umm... I'm not exactly sure what it means, but you can find out at his homepage. His dog is named Trixie, and she's very well behaved, unlike SOME dogs. Peter's evil twin brother is very sneaky, because he is called Peter's evil twin brother, even though he is not Peter's twin, and nor is he particularly evil. Eric Ernst's Homepage is also worth seeing.

• Lizard Man is the owner of that flea bitten mongrel Rags. He lives for Internet-Quake, where he can chuck grenades at total strangers with no hesitation or remorse. He's an internet crusader of sorts, and his name is probably known on many a newsgroup, or IRC channel. His claim to fame? It's a tie between posting a Hello Kitty ASCII and an extremist Newsgroup, and flooding the inbox of a certain columnist in a Toronto newspaper, to the point were the columnist mentioned having 300+ messages one day in one of his articles.

• Rye High Student is also known as Pummuler, and after many games of Descent and Descent2, I have learned never to engage Pummuler in battle. My only advice to you if you're playing him is as follows: 1) If you see him coming, run away. 2) If you don't see him coming, he's probably behind you. 3) If he's not behind you, start to panic. 4) If you can't panic, it's probably because he's killed you by the time you realize that there's something wrong.

• Buzz Beamer is probably fuming at the fact that the format of this page is a blatant attempt at copying the same format of his SO CALLED FRIENDS page. Don't think of it as stealing your idea, BEAMER. Think of it was an improvement of a weaker outdated format! I'm joking! Bring me a case of Waterloo Dark when you get around to it, eh???

• Green is also known as Green the Drunk, Dancing Green, and Billy Green. To his credit, I haven't seen anybody place street hockey like he does. He's rushing into the corners, making plays, scoring goals... and that's just when he's the goalie! UPDATE: Green has finally gotten a homepage here. Check it out! And note the shameless RIPPING OFF of a few of my ideas and pictures. It does have a funny story page, where I die horribly... which in retrospect is not so funny.

• Crowe Vader is the HTML guru, who knows all and tells all about the CODE! His claim to fame is undoubtly being the poster boy for MuchMusic. More details in his homepage. He's a fellow UofT student, while two of the DAMNED are attending universities in Waterloo, and the other three are truly DAMNED at Ryerson.
