07 Dec 99 - 07:20 PM (#146224) Subject: M'cat Time Capsule-What Would U put in? From: katlaughing Heard a phone-in on NPR the other day. People from all over were calling in with their suggestions for what to put in a time capsule of our times, from the 1950's on. Some were pretty good; others were just plain stupid. But it got me to thinking what a bunch of phoakies would want to put in one, esp. Mudders. So, besides the usual, the entire database on CD-ROM and a CD or tape of any who have them, I would like to also include a replica of Cleigh O'Possum and Waylon Heron. How about you? |

From: InOBU I would like to put all George Bushs political officeholding children, especialy if the time capsule was to be opened in the next millenium. And so as not to be unkind to George Jr. some nose powder. Larry |

From: InOBU George would say, anywhere is fine, but, where did you say you put the nose powder, not that I ever used it, but, just want to make sure I know where it is... Enough to last a health middle age American for say, a millenium, not that I have any interst in the crack (as opposed to the crac) (and the door slowly closes to be opened, when?) |

By the time I decide, it's gone! |

07 Dec 99 - 08:31 PM (#146271) Subject: RE: M'cat Time Capsule-What Would U put in? From: Willie-O more thread creep...several years ago the local CBC station switched from an AM to an FM frequency. Before they officially started broadcasting on the new 91.5 wavelength, they had to field-test and fine-tune the signal, for about a week. At least that's why I presume that one Nanci Griffith recording was on non-stop rotation at 91.5 FM, 24 hours a day, for about six days. (They could have done a lot worse.) I gotta admit i listened to it quite a lot...but enough was enough! Or I don't know, maybe it was a short-lived all-music Adult Contemporary station with an unusually narrow format... So anyway, there's now a band of radio waves surrounding our solar system, about eight light years out, which when decoded consist of Nanci G. singing about riding in a car with a guy named Seamus...over 'n'over I'm not sure if this in an argument for including her music in a time capsule, or for leaving it out. The alien explorers may be expecting to hear more of her. Perhaps it would be best to include any recording except that one. There are strange things done... Bill |

From: Bill D alison...you DO have an...ummm..'interesting' notion of what you want future generations to find..*big grin*..... I think I'd stuff in tapes & CD's of music...several versions of some of the same songs, in both 'trad' and 'modern' arrangements, so they could have some idea of what the debates about 'folk' were about!.....and maybe a small replica of a gargoyle...*wink* |

07 Dec 99 - 09:18 PM (#146294) Subject: RE: M'cat Time Capsule-What Would U put in? From: Vixen Ahem.
In that ancient future land I suggest a CD of the Digitrad as of 31 December 1999 and a complete backup of all threads from inception to said date, AND a computer that will read them both. If you want to guarantee they're understood, however, print a hardcopy of all of it, because text only requires a pair of eyes and a deciphering mind to understand. English will probably change as much as it has since Beowulf (1000 a.d.) but it will be translatable. V |

From: Vixen Dear Mick, You shouldn't post after midnight...your spelling gets *terrible*...and you're too vague to be understood! every schoolchild knows it's "f@*#ing"! Also, WHICH "thong" do you want to put in? I think the DT has about a bajillion in the bawdy category that address in various ways the activity presently known as "f@*#ing"! Finally, if it's the "potato thong" you're thinking of, you should probably get Cheryl Wheeler's permission to put it in the time capsule.

Maybe you should have gotten the Texas version, instead: Notice from Microsoft: It has come to our attention that a few copies of the Texas Edition of Windows 98 may have accidentally been shipped outside of Texas. If you have one of the Texas Editions you may need some help understanding the commands. The Texas Edition may be recognized by looking at the opening screen. It reads WINDERS98 with a background picture of the Alamo superimposed on the Texas flag. It is shipped with a Leann Rimes screen saver.
Also note the Recycle Bin is labeled Outhouse.
Other features:
Terminology: Also note that Winders 98 does not recognize capital letters or punctuation marks. We regret any inconvenience it may have caused if you received a copy of the Texas Edition. You may return it to Microsoft for a replacement version.

08 Dec 99 - 05:43 PM (#146765) Subject: RE: M'cat Time Capsule-What Would U put in? From: Allan C. How about including a recording of everyone's first time playing and/or singing in front of more than three people? Also include a certificate of verification that at the time the recording was sealed in the capsule, all of the people on the recording were still alive. Then the generations to come will know beyond a doubt that stage fright is survivable. |

09 Dec 99 - 09:34 AM (#147057) Subject: RE: M'cat Time Capsule-What Would U put in? From: Bert I would put in The Harry Fox Agency and The National Music Publisher's Association. Keep them off our backs for 100 years, and when they open the capsule all of their copyrights will have expired. |

09 Dec 99 - 10:28 AM (#147081) Subject: RE: M'cat Time Capsule-What Would U put in? From: MMario actually, no, some of the copyrights probably wouldn't have expired....terms are now for 75 years AFTER the author's death......so figure a 24 year old writes a song, lives to be 89=65 years PLUS 75 = 140 years..... and if medical attention continues to lengthen the average age span, we could see copyrights lasting almost two centuries w/o much difficulty.... *gag* |

Too bad it was never made into a record or cassette. |

I drool over that sort of thing. Although I have all their albums, save four, I'd still spen the forty bucks so I could get those rare b-sides! Future generations should have this great collection (though for discerning megafans like me, their is a good deal of editing down on some of the longer songs--travesty!) --Mbo |
