So I was at Carleton University this afternoon, when I decided to
check out the elevator at Dunton Tower (I figured: tallest building
equals best elevator ride).  So I get in the elevator on the second
floor, push the button for the 14th floor and watch the doors close.
The elevator started moving, and I started making faces at the BIG
mirror.  The elevator stops, the doors open, I get out.  I'm on the
second floor.  How did that happen?  I look for the Twilight Zone
guy.  I start humming:  do do do do, do do do do.  Then I see someone
standing near the elevators, and I ask them for help.

Me:  ....what happened?

Person:  You didn't ding the number.

Me:  Oh, I see.  I didn't ding the number.

Person:  Yeah.  You gotta ding the number.

Me:  Okay.  I'll go back in and ding the number.

I get back in.  I push the button for the 14th floor.  This time, it 
dings.  I stop at the 14th floor.  I say neato.  Then I go back to
the second floor.  

Remember people:  you gotta ding the number.

Luc and the Beastie Boys

This story goes back to about mid summer when I was asked by the
american magazine bOING bOING to do a story on Adam Yauch of The
Beastie Boys. All of this during the early part of last summer's
Lollapalooza tour which also featured the Smashing Pumpkins.

At any rate, on night I got a call at home from Yauch who was in
Milwauke, Wisconsin. He was somewhere backstage and you could hear
the Pumpkins performing in the background....

We talked about this and that and I got what I needed for the article.
At one point we started talking about the Internet because he and I
are very interested in what's happening over in Tibet and how people
fighting for Tibet's freedom from China are using the 'net to communicate
around the world. Even the Dalai Lama has his own email account !

He wanted to know more aboutwhat could be found on the Internet and
he thought it was great that the Beastie Boys had their own usenet
group. I told him that he should get his own email address and that he
should get his magazine "Grand Royal hooked to the net too.

Anyway, one thing led to another and I got on the the fact that a guy
here had his own usenet group. I said " Luc Theriault is his name and
he is becoming known around the world." And Adam Yauch replied " This cat Luc Th
eriault has fans around the world ?" And I replied " Ya, check it out
sometime." And he answered " I will, definitely."

So that's my Luc and the Beastie Boys story. A true story by the way.

Cya,

I've found another way to get your friends to call you.  Log on!  Believe
me, it works.  The last few times I've logged on, when I got offline, I
had messages.

Of course, this only works if you have Call Answer, otherwise how would
they leave a message?

If this keeps up and I keep on finding more ways to become popular, pretty
soon I'll be as popular as Luc!!

Have you all seen those little earth buddy creatures in the stores?  They
are little nylon stocking men that grow grass for hair... (ch-ch-ch-chia
pet clone!)  Anyway, mine died.  But tonight I was looking at it and I
made a startling realization.....it looks exactly like our fearless leader
Luc!!  I subconciously gave my little earth buddy a haircut like Luc's.
The similarities are shocking!!
