Scooter knows.
Scooter conjecture like Ollie Stone - Historical fiction in pastels. Broad stroke conversation dialogue off the head of a pin. Jack Wood laying on his back painting the Cooperstown Rotunda with a bic ballpoint. He stops a moment and clicks. Relic gets an emergency call on the golf course. "The Angels have landed, will you meet them in the parking lot?" Relic finish his tea and jumps in the helicopter. He approaches the Big A parking lot and he sees 162 groups of 9 men in Angel uniforms. It is the 162 line-ups of the '72 Angels. They are clones. Relic steps out of the helicopter and falls to the ground. He still has his golf clubs. He weeps - He weeps with joy. Then they disappear...forever. "God damn you they were here. They were here all the time!" He weeps with disappointment, and vows: "I won't be fooled again."
What makes Tom weep? What makes lowSKY weep?
On the IS board they busy, yes very busy being born. They laugh, they joke, they enjoy, they exist.
On the Delphi board, a certain blackbelt has turned it into a St. Helena. (but maybe it is Elba). He plots his comeback with skeetersoft as a guide. He fears no one not even the Pope, but is very scared of becoming irrelevant.
On this board there is a sense of apocalypse. Tom weeps inside at this. The Canadien may have backed it all up, but it will be as dust in the wind. A long laboring chronicle of a huge waste of time. But a beautifull, curvy and seductive baseball game. Partner and lover. Tom weeps because in the end he pimped it. He pimped it.
Scooter knows. LowSKY does not. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 8-Run 9th Inning comebacks. Tom Seaver hitting 3 HRs in a single game, he tripped on the dugout step. Don Zimmer spitting purple tobacco juice.
Somewhere a DMB program is struggling to reach out and grab someone hard and say...."I ...want...more...life...F****r..."
