PART THREE
KIN NOTES

Date: 1/28/94
Tom: What did you mean by "our rotten
religion" ( This is a quote from a month ago )
Geof: I out did myself
Tom: What did Adrian mean by " gem in
old religion"
Geof: Its U O I's. Your
onto what quotes are important. ( After two years of studying this, I’m a QIM
tune scholor.)
Date: 1/31/94
Tom: This power thing. I need to get a
ballpark idea of it. We have it, but you guys are more aware and practiced at
it and can focus it at right time? Right?
Nick: Oui
Nick: Jed into money too
much.
[I
denied I was vis a vis them, but recently I’ve been financially pressured]
Nick: O U Jed O Jed
Tom: That's nice of you, But I O U
Nick: U U U U Jed un O I U
! O Jed Om U. Jed enough moucher for us. Yes, you are a moucher.
Tom: Are there any of us who aren't?
Nick: Yes
Tom: Who?
Nick: Utts ( This throws me
off the "utt" trail. )
Tom: Utts?
Nick: Teo u someday. Mind
in south direction. ( South, I believe, represents my primordial impulses )
south infers
underworld, unconscious, libidic, daemonic, chthonic
Tom: Mine?
Nick: Yes. South Oleo interest.
You should understand Thin Tin Man Roi to us. You not in outside lane to us.
Tin Man I O U. Your to Most High for us!
:O)
Nick: U Jed uno Jed to us
.Not oun on ... Jed onto no I OU.
Nick: Tune to us.
Tom: How?
Nick: Meditation tones.
Nick: Zoo 'round Oz.
Tom: What's Oz. Our world , yours, Beta (The
Dorm)? ( The dorm )
Nick: Our's.
maybe meaning they are
the center, surrounded by an infernal “zoo” -- like Avalon within the lake,
like the Grail Castle within the bloody moat
“Zoo round Oz” also
plays off Nick’s “you not in outside lane to us” quote, suggesting a
“close-orbital” type of relationship
“tones,” so ubiquitous in the Tunes, forms an essential part of
Chinese speech, and the Sumerians probably spoke a unique non-Semitic language that
likely also incorporated tonal elements (and would bear on the pre-Babel
“unified speech” of humanity
Tom: Recently or usually.
Nick: Usually.
Tom: Jerome once said "Tunes aint
lef" (PeterSellers).
Brent: To care lame. Tom
Perry
ooh, a Quotefest!
kin I play?
thanks for asking, here’s my entry:
Sleep is easier twined in the safety of the
promises
that are kept by those who care.
The field is to be a connection if the boys are patient
and the seeds are sown on the other side of the waterway
Excerpt from “Quiet by the Edge of Dreams,” Jeffrey Powell, Jr.
[
It is interesting he should mention Perry here. I don't know why I didn't ask,
but I did call Perry because of it shortly afterwards. With the earthquake down
in L.A. and all, Perry sounded a little stressed and I felt that he was
disappointed that I hadn't called sooner to see how they were. Perry, by the
way, was the person who introduced "Giles Goat Boy" to me- he did his
undergraduate thesis on it. He now has five novels published. This past two
years of my financial difficulties he's helped cushion me with a two grand
loan. I used it to work less (moonlighting) and concentrate on this project. So
he's really my sponsor for this, but he doesn’t know it]
[The
first question I asked Nick about whether you use your "powers"?]
Brent: Yes, we are using it.
Tom: Nick's comment on Oz. Is he just
bitching.
Brent: Yes. Excells at
bitching.
Brent: We quote you
tarnishing semantics.
Tom: You mean when I try to explain your guys
stuff?
Brent: Yes. Pew arting Halls
favorite.
Brent: Kemp will be
President.
Brent: You all we latice
people have.
Tom: Have?
Brent: You utterly eclectic.
Tom: [Dinner] You want to talk later?
Brent: I: E. Most High. Use all
we taught you. It'll cause Jed's mother to be happy.
Brent is possibly
following-up Nick’s “Thin Tin Man Roi” quote above (“Your to Most High for
us!”)
the use of the colon
suggests ratio relationship, as in I is to E
the word “thinking,”
e.g., is “thin-king,” hinting at both its roots and prospects (roi being French for “king,” derived
from the Latin regem, the accusitive case of rex, via the Old
French rei.)
Perhaps English is evolving
from the many, confused, and warring tongues post-Babel into not merely a lingua franca, but a recovered
ur-language – and exploring the dialect in Qim Tunes may have a part in
that.
“Jed’s mother” is
probably equivalent to Adrian’s “Joy” – magna mater, this planet
Thin Tin Man Roi, Roq
Lord, the Ref: perhaps an eschatologic witness/judge, a “followed favorite,”
perhaps related to Geof’s prior quote, “In
lost kinds of ways we record necessary demons”:
Think
not in your minds, neither say in your hearts, that every crime is not
manifested and seen. In heaven it is daily written down before the Most High.
Hence forwards shall it be manifested; for every act of oppression which you
commit shall be daily recorded . . . (1 Enoch 96:16)
by “manifested,” Enoch
means not only revealed, but “worked out” through incarnation (i.e., brought
home to all individuals)
rounding out the “Thin
Tin Man”/Oz theme, there’s also this:
Listen
people to a story
that was written long ago,
'bout a kingdom on a mountain
and the valley folks below.
On the mountain was a treasure
hidden deep beneath a stone,
and the valley people swore
they'd have it for their very own.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of heaven,
you can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing,
come the judgment day.
On the bloody morning after
one Tin Soldier rides away
“One Tin Soldier” (Dennis Lambert, Brian
Potter)
or:
We've been through some things together
with trunks of memories still to come
We found things to do in stormy weather
Long may you run...
Maybe The Beach Boys have got you now
with those waves singing ‘Caroline No’
Rollin' down that empty ocean road
Gettin' to the surf on time.
Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Although these changes have come
with your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run.
“Long May You Run” (N.
Young)
Tom: Who should get the FC Coordinator job?
Angel or Tom?
(
I’m not taking them seriously about my promotion (Most High). It would be another
three or four months before I would. Reading this now, two years later, I feel
ashamed at my reaction.)
Nick: Tom
Tom: Who's going to get it?
Nick: Tom Tunes muny lot.
Don't stun our Angel.
Here’s an example of how
these guys jump straight from the personalistic (the Coordinator job at “Seaton
Hall” involving the woman named “Angel”) to the collective (the warning against
stunning “their” Angel, possibly
someone involved with the “Most High” business, with what Geof later calls the “Lord lotto”)
“stun,” of course, is “nuts” backwards, suggesting that this
“Angel” is nutz or is perceived as a nutcase – a wingnut!
Geof: Toss FC. Stupid women
you let run tux. You press luster to more here. [At this point I was criticizing
Terry with Brent] You lutz, RN utts , not us. ( Rn is registered nurse. Nursing
comes in a variety of contexts as we go along. Here, I think he’s saying that I
should take care of my advisaries more than them )
Tom: What's are utts?
Geof: Stowe House assholes
[ Stowe House is a lovely park I spend many of my mornings before going to my
athletic club. I indulge my bad habits there] Tussle mind moppers. Rt uttys.
Tom: RT?
Geof: You try W K T not
faqirs.
“K T” is elsewhere identified as “Kursed Tutus” and
associated with “nuts”
Geof: Plenty of work to do
fostering tunes. Your stupid Hale. U O I.
Adrian: Not in yutz. Tunes to
support you. His life not yours. Your mio better
Nick: Our Jojo U O Jed
Jerome: Exit nuts , pen us.
“exit nuts” may mean freeing
the so-called “retards” -- the outsiders -- from the Zoo, outing them into
mainstream society
“pen us” follows up
that theme, as “open us” or ”write about us,” though the opposite
interpretation of “enclose” or “confine” is also available
[Joked
w/ Adrian about Brians " to care is lame" statement]
Jerome: He an tar you. You
care to sense, we are sense. Hety so you kut exy.
Tom: Happy Birthday Geof! Tomorrow is your
Birthday.
Geof: Yes. Out on the edge
noise sustains us. Tutu on rut on my Jed.
Tom: Why?
Geof: Tune in tones ie
noise.
Tom: Do you actually here voices chattering
away?
Geof: No. Mostly noise
exhibited in noise
Tom: How do you know specifics of what I
think?
Geof: Urgent sounds mind
hears.
Tom: Do you know the science of it?
Geof: Yes Q R S T immasses
heinous L D's.
Q – R – S – T is, I think, the sinus wave (normal)
electro-sequence of the human heartbeat
“L
D’s” coupled with “heinous” feels infernal -- my guess on “LD’s” is “Low
Downs,” “Lowest Denominators,” or
perhaps “Latter Days” -- in which case he’s describing “tune in tones” or the
process of mental immersion/telepathy
the
modern L.D.S. church is heavily involved with “baptisms” of the dead, and some
commentators connect these activities with malevolent necromancy and the occult
interests of Joseph Smith
Geof’s
comments here stem from his previous gambit, “Tutu on rut on my Jed,” perhaps
an allusion to “noise” he hears from the libidic energy of the “Jed” he was
monitoring at that time
Tom: Is that a joke or are you serious.
Geof: Your not rinsing ages
on our Tunes. Your so stupid skinning us.
Tom: So there's something to it?
Geof: Out nell recorded in
our history. Stupid Ronnie Hale's not happy with. I Lime most Smith. Sveting
Norsemen last longer. Quote story not to Ronnie, confidential. Let mind reading
place RT on hinge. TLC Mecca in OX.
“Sveting Norsemen last
longer” could suggest Vedism in general, and the Indo-Germanic god Wotan in
particular – of his pre-Norse lineage, and of his “transformation” into another
“deity” when those tribes were Christianized
“Let mind reading place RT on hinge” – as in a bridge or
trapdoor linking Heaven and Hell
“TLC Mecca in OX”
suggests, in part, “the goal is love” (see immediately below for a possible
connection between Brent’s “Ten gain” quote and a literal ox)
Seal IV
Date: Feb, 1 1994
FC
Coordinator Job went to Angel. Money squeeze OK. The Buffalo Bills lost the
Super Bowl again. Brent had hysteria today.
Brent: You it, jut for us.
Tom: We have a beach walk, jacuzzi etc. What
do you want?
Brent: Tet U I O. Refuse to
educate. Use sag it. Ebb must enact ... U I O Ten gain. U I believe.
In
Buddhism, as mentioned above, the Tenth Ox symbolizes wholeness in the path --
the marriage between earthly matter (cherry trees) and spirit (the boddhi)
At Devereux Point (Beach)
Adrian: You Jed nuts.
Geof: Out O U.
Tom: The PRN problem? ( He had a rare
behavior problem before I came to work today. I berlieve it was meant to be a
message to me because of my disappointment about the FC job. I don’t usually
line things like this up, but this time I can.)
Brent: Occasionally odd
behaviour occurs.
Tom: Anything to do w/ FC coordinator job?
Brent: Nemisis augments us.
Elemental heart yards bigger that you have.
Tom: Am I being punished?
Brent: No. Necessity to get
job done. ( This "Nemisis furthers the goal" idea really has been the
most aid to me in this task. Every step of the way, mine and FC’s detractors
have made the most blatantly foolish mistakes which ultimately do more to
promote FC and me than anything the believers could have done.)
Tom: My instincts about it have been OK?
Brent: (Yes) (Yes)
Tom: Anything else.
Brent: (Yes) About western
note you made about Buffalo. The West is the best(Yes).Touches all the world.
Atest in favor years and years in advance.
“Atest” is both “a
test” and “attest,” perhaps the Tunes as a testament
Tom: You sound like a Mormon
Brent: Yes. Like them. Axes
to grind for them.
Joseph Smith was a modern Hermeto-Gnostic priest, amongst
other things -- a magus who carried and used magickal
objects, including a “seer stone”
of Smith, Harold Bloom wrote:
his genius reinvented Kabbalah in the effort necessary to
restore archaic Judaism
reportedly, Mormon Temple rituals are heavily influenced by
Masonry and Hermeticism
as John L. Brooke puts it in The
Refiner's Fire: The Making of Mormon Cosmology:
The alchemical-hermetic term of coniunctio powerfully summarizes
the resolution that Smith had achieved at Nauvoo by the summer of 1844. He had
established a theology of the conjunction--the unification--of the living and
the dead, of men and women, of material and spiritual, of secular and sacred,
all united in a "new and everlasting covenant" . . . . In effect the
greater Mormon emergence can be visualized as meta-alchemical experience
running from opposition to union, an experience shaped and driven by the
personality of Joseph Smith.

I've
been very disappointed about Angel getting FC job. Need more money anyway.
Thinking of contracting and getting job at Jay Nolan.
(Jay
Nolan was a large organization of group homes for Autistics located in the high
desert above LA. I had heard they were supportive of FC and thought I could go
over there and get work. )
Geof: Tune lower o Jed.
Necessity, Jed , nominal U O I
Tom: What "necessity""?
Geof: Out of sum then Jeds
(Others need more time). You is oem in jem. Nick noel. Ou's ignores Nick. (
They all agree that Nick is my Mentor with this )
Tom: Ou’s?
Geof: Oin’s [Apparently
doing another takeoff on I O U's] You owe nothing Jed to educate. O U's on
even, not U O ie Raliegh.
“Oin” was one of
Tolkien’s band of Burglar Dwarves in “The Hobbit” (each of whom was a kind of
dwarf-lord in his own lands)
they were magical
“aides” or allies of Bilbo Baggins, the protagonist of the book, the beneficent
“burglar” who slew the devouring Dragon, Smaug
elsewhere in the Tunes, one of the Boys refers to their
group as “gnomes,” and these entities, of course, have an ancient tradition,
often related, like the Cabiri, to
mining and other subterranean activity
“The Hobbit” and “Lord
of the Rings” are the literary complement to Baum’s Oz books, sharing a spiritual
underpinning
Tom: How would I do with Jay Nohan guys?
Geof: U O us not Lieus of
Jay Nolan. (Lieus= crazies)
Tom: It seems to me that you guys don't need
FC teachers + Fcers as much as you need the "story" to get out. ( I
don’t believe I knew how right I was when I said that)
Jerome: Yes It is a
testimonial(clear). Rebsy we need.
Tom: Rebsy?
Jerome: Sessy, Testy, Teuty.
“Rebsy” means
“southern-sounding” or “rebel” in nature
“Sessy” is sassy,
“Teuty” means Teutonic/Germanic, and “Testy” means, well, testy – a prickly
kind of person
but “Testy” is also a
possible play on “ballsy,” thus suggesting the Grail King and wound
“Rebsy we need”
reminds me of Eminem, and his “Without Me””:
Little hellions kids feeling rebellious
Embarrassed, their parents still listen to Elvis
They start feeling like prisoners, helpless
'Til someone comes along on a mission and yells "BITCH"
A visionary, vision is scary, could start a revolution
Pollutin' the air waves a rebel . . .
Jerome: Tuex Kuy Yz
Tom: Adrian say something
Adrian: You O U U U .
Brent: U Tet.
Tom: Could I continue this at Jay Nolan as
well as I'm doing now?
Brent: No. Touch better here
because our minds gained abilities.
Nick: U O Too. U O O O O.
Tom: Brent is there any good way to go about
this. If so how?
Brent: Yes. Ask Mecham. Mark
calendar. Tet to be in March. Its winnable
Tom: What is required?
Brent: Task is to believe.
Brent
might mean March, 2002 – when I sent you my first full draft of these Notes – and here, “Tet” probably means
a major “offensive” on their behalf
Tom: Believe in what your saying, you or God.
Brent: Not believe in OU's.
( He hit the nail on the head there )
Tom: This I O U stuff. Would you use it with
others or is it more personalized with me?
Brent: Others
Tom: Donnellan said with this spirit stuff,
someone came across the words Hudder and Judder. She said that she would be
interested in what you guys said it meant. (I remember now, I brought it up and
this was all she mentioned about it)
Brent: You tell Donnellan
South is Hudder, north is Judder. ( I did tell her some time later, but all she
said in response was "that is interesting" or some such thing.)
Tom: You guys don't cross validate with our stuff,
but maybe you will with your stuff. (3/96 The "toll bones" have been
numerous and consistent with what I recieved here)
Brent: Yes It demeans us to
get involved noticing your "stuff".
Nick: You are an asshole.
Tom: OK. That's what I was thinking you were
going to say. Now say something that's yours.
Nick: You essentially
believe. Religion is us. Your some nehi quote mother fucker.
Tom: Could I do the job as well at Jay Nolan?
Jerome: My easy. ( I remember
not getting this for some time because I was putting this emphasis on the wrong
word. )
Nick: Yes. Some there are
better than us.
suggesting that, even
in a relatively close locale, other “autistic networks” exist …
this comment also
shows the these guys aren’t too “ate up” with themselves
Tom: Nick says I can
continue at Nolan.
Brent: Yes Our interest can
be continued, but harder there.
Tom: Is is structural, relationship, clients
or more?
Brent: Yes, getting the
relationship.
Tom: Couldn't you help with them?
Brent: Yes. Never in a thousand
years would we help. (This thousand year cliche has more significance to me
now, but I know to others its stretching it. )
Tom: Why?
Brent: Tet is here
a millennial reference
to Endtimes conflict?
tet on Earth, tet in
Heaven . . .
He was
born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
when the
New York Times said god is dead
and the
War’s begun.
Alvin
Tostig has a Son today
“Levon” (Taupin, John)
the feminist-dominated
New York Times
has done enormous damage to the men and boys of modern America over the past
few decades
Tom: Why?
Brent: Tet is here because O
U I. You handled this merely because of Nick.
Tom: Wouldn't Nick help?
Brent: Yes
Tom: Wouldn't you help?
Brent: No. Centinel believes
to hell with you.
[Sitting
next to Brent and thinking of ramifications of my possible leaving]
Brent: Yes. I am bemoaning
your leaving. Yes tears are falling. You please me not a little. ( There were a
few tears comming down his cheeks. I never saw any of them have tears before.)
Date: 2/3/94
Hatchell
talked to me before work about about presenting a paper on my FC work for the
Las Vegas Autism Conference comming up in March. This was a real feather in my
cap if I did it. I was excited about it, but also nervous and apprehensive
about public speaking. I struggled all through high school trying to overcome
my stage fright by becomming an officer in numerous organizations. I never
overcame it. I don’t know what was going on behind the scenes, but some weeks
later I talked to the CEO Atkinson about it, and he said they weren’t going to
have me do it because the conference officials decided to de-emphasize FC. That
this should happen on the heals of Brent’s tears, is not coincidental to me
now.
Brent: Temerity - heats on.
Teutonic Jed in lead. Git Jed's ass in gear. ( He’s addressing Hatchell’s
Autism Conference offer.)
Adrian: Utt enough. He
touches us.
Alex's Bar
Brent’s
acting very upset
Tom: What's wrong with Brent?
Geof: U U U
Tom: What about me?
Geof: Your too nuts.
Tom: Brent, what's the problem?
Brent: Your agitating me.
Later....
Geof: Utt enough for me. (
These "utt" references are my increased status due to Hatchell’s
offer.)
Tom: Want to go to McDonald's?
Geof: No. Karls.
Tom: What is it about Karls? ( I’m asking
them about a mystery I detected on this job and with another population I used
to work with (chronic Schizoprenics). Both groups overwhelmingly patronized
Karls and I’m asking them why.)
Geof: I O U to Karl.
Tom: The owner
Geof: Yes
Karma at work! -- they
sniff out and reward the righteous, even at the level of burgers ‘n fries!
Tom: Are you going to help with my
presentation?
Geof: No. Mollify utt by O
I not O U.
Tom: Presentation help?
Brent: Tunes frame the man. Wont
help mall belief. SB. SB . SB. SB. (I don’t understand why the
"presentation" would "mall belief". I’m interpreting the SB
as the Christian staff Scott Bishop.)
Tom: I haven't malled his belief, but I have
malled some of the hypocracy.
Brent: Yes.Dee Dee's getting
girls.
(I
made a crack once that an old staff (DD) joined Bishop’s church group because
of all the young girls that attended.)
Tom: Yes I did, and that was in poor taste.
But is it true? And I haven't done it to S.B.
Brent: Yes. With Bishop teasing.
(I don’t think the "Yes" was in response to DD’s motivation for
joining the chuch group. He brought this up to put on the record my nasty
comment and my support for Bishop. He suffered alot of abuse from the young and
liberal staff about his eager church participation. I defended him.)
Tom: Maybe a little, but I've been a whole
lot better than the other stuff.
Brent: Yes.
Brent: Toll ain't
esseminating snack. Me O U to end I O U. Sin ode O U.
Tom: [Referred above] Is that right?
Brent: No. To emece, ogle
God not girls. (This is about ‘The Last Temptation of Tom Smith that I
mentioned some time ago.)
“emece”
may be “emcee” – then inferring a leadership role, a “master of ceremonies”
the
larger reference is to the Nymph, the Host’s “Fall,” the kabbalistic/Rosicrucian
“rectification” of the haeteric/uroboric/primal state, and completion of a
transformational and redemptive cycle
“me
O U to end I O U. Sin ode O U” could prophesy the death of sin and the mass
forgiveness, or rectification, of karmic debt -- the Tunes
are a “sin ode,” and these guys (and other otties) may function as “sin eaters”
both
issues are bound up with the Fall, the mixing of human and divine elements, the
wound inflicted upon the masculine by the termination of hetaerism (uninhibited
sexuality), the inception of and progression of matriarchal
kinship/social/proto-legal systems, and the release and redemption of the
Scapegoat (both in its aspect as the Host, and in the persecution of
masculinity in the West)
or
. . . I could be Completely Rong . . .
Tom: Do you know about that thing of mine in
the mountains. [ This refers to one of the strongest religious experiences I've
had. It happened about 4 years ago. My ex wife had threatened to divorce me if
I didn't do something about my personal problem. I went to the mountaines
backpacking and felt trapped and scared. I was sitting on a rock, head in hands
and said "Oh God". All of a sudden I felt a hundred percent better.
It was like a huge weight was taken off me. I wasn’t praying or consciously
asking for God’s help. He sure did give it though. I eliminated my personal
problem for the next year and a half. Four months into the separation, after
having a false cancer scare, my personal problem reared its ugly head again ]
Brent: Tet dull, not God.
Tom: Is that true about the aliens?
Brent: No Gores. Gotcha (
Finally, he fesses up)
Tom: Have you supported religion thru
miracles and such?
Brent: No. Not enough towards
it to account for enticing so many people.
Tom: Your back pedaling here.
Brent: Yes Torture over it.
Tom: Is it the paranoia from our side? ( Why
they are being so circumspect )
Brent: Yes. Is the awe
semantics required.
Brent: Yes, all it erases
basic kinds of beliefs Religion requires.
Tom: If what you told me is true these past
months, than a shift is required without losing belief. Possible?
Brent: Yes, emece it.
Geof: You ie hem belief.
Sin out in our world. U O I not I O U . Gene hides tunes fomenting U O I Jed.
“emece,”
again, may be “emcee”
“Yes,
all it erases basic kinds of beliefs Religion requires” suggests that “awe”
itself -- direct experience with the numinous, with “God” -- will be the
practical “new religion
the
law’s Spirit instead of the Letter, perhaps
those
“beliefs” resulting from life experience, however, are not “erased,” hinting
that it is phenomenology, and not received knowledge and social conditioning,
which is carried across lifetimes and eras
Tom: Do I have an extra gene or am I missing
one?
Geof: Tom is not Jed, but
Meg. (I’m sure I had a good chuckle with this one)
Back at the Dorm
Tom: Jerome if you were thinking of Peter
Sellers when you said "Tunes ain't Lef", please spell PeterSellers
Jerome: Peter Sellers.
Tom: Did you know about him in the movies or
Mad Magazine? (He loves looking at magazines )
Jerome: Movies.
Adrian: Tussle on spirit out.
Tom: Why?
Adrian: Tout oe not us.
Tom: What's oe?
Adrian: You.
Adrian: U O I , Jed, U U U U.
To, um, rid, toss us out Jed, not our interest. Your to not tend our spirit
stuff. ZOO tends Om O Jed, not Jesus. OU OU OU. Your to sort out. No hint, omit
OUN
Tom: What's N ( I’m misinterpreting OUN )
Adrian: Neiman. (This is a
curve ball because of my dumb question)
Tom: Adrian even wanted me to toss out
Neiman.
Brent: Not Neiman, Janes.
Tom: What's Adrian mean by OUN?
Brent: Otto. Your Nickname
Oed n ouch. (Otto was my nickname in high school - from Otto Schmidtlap in the
50’s sitcom The Life of Reily. This nickname became a problem as I went through
high school. It brought with it a certain level of disrespect that I couldn’t
tolerate. In my senior year I told everyone that Tom and Smitty were alright,
but no more Otto. I turned it around except for one old freind who held out. I
warned him a few times and then I had to punch him in the stomach. You should
have seen the look on his face, he couldn’t believe I would actually hit him.
He appologized and said he didn’t know how serious I was about it. He’s a great
guy. )
Tom: OUN = Otto my nickname?
Brent: Nic
