GIZMO'S THOUGHTS OF THE WEEK!
Yes that is right it is I, gizmo4life. One
of the many tiki regs
that is very glad to see the gazette back up and running. It has come
to my attention that there are a few who wish that this would never
come out. To those people I can only say this, TUFF LUCK! Hey, get
a
clue if you are a tiki reg then guess what, people are going to know
your business and talk about it. Go figure. If I hang out with my
friend IRL guess what, they are gonna talk too. I am not responsible
for you letting out your personal info or anything like that, but if
it
gets printed in here somehwere along the line you had to have let it
out. I don't see anyone using real names and if they do then YOU MADE
A
MISTAKE. Otherwise guess what, it is chat.
Also, it seems more and more that there is
a bunch of people
coming into chat just to piss off people. Yeah that suck but it is
a
part of life. No place is safe from dip's that have nothing better
to
do than try and upset people. The nice thing about yahoo is the IGNORE
feature. Fight if you want but everyone has to remeber one basice rule.
There are limits. We can not allow people to come in making threats
that deal with issues like "computer crashing". There can be no room
for this in chat. I am on who could care less if I get someone saying
"I'm gonna crash your puter ifyou don't shut up", but there are people
out there who do, and get scared to the point of not chatting anymore.
What good does this serve? This can not be allowed to happen. Everyone
as a group must stop this and not allow it to happen again. Pissing
people is one thing, making someone live in fear is another. As a loyal
chatter and overall good person (HEHE) I am letting you know that if
you use a threat like that I will do all I can and everything I know
to
report you every time I can. I have seen too many people worry over
stupid things like this and fight about this issue almost destroy a
good chat room.
That being said, if you are reading this and
there is a chatter of
the week vote. VOTE GIZMO4LIFE and here are a few reasons why.
1. Giz is just too damn cool.
2. Giz looks good in a toga.
3. If Giz wins, 3 DAY WORK WEEK!
4. http://www.homestead.com/partyshack_by_giz/giz1.html
5. If Giz wins, Tuesday is NEKKED LIMBO @ THE
TIKI!!!!!
6. Giz is so tired of asking. LOL
Take care all and don't let the lag monster bite!
The editor apoligizes to giz for forgettin his article last week.....lol
There are alot of things about life that makes it very difficult.
Bills, kids, jobs, etc. In the world that we live in it's very tough
to
find a true happiness within yourself and within your life. Every once
in awhile a certain someone comes along and fills that void, that
happiness that seems to be ever elusive. That happiness shows up in
the
form of love. Not a general attraction, not a puppy love, but the kind
of love that fills your heart, mind, body, and soul. The kind of love
that engulfs the very essence of your being. This happens in so many
forms, but the most difficult form is an internet based relationship.
There isn't that physical contact, there are no dates, there are no
real romantic evenings alone. Yet they still happen. Somehow two people
meet and find a way to love, care, trust, and cherish without ever
having that face to face meeting. That meeting is so important to the
mainstay of that relationship. Some couples have the luck to live close
enough that it is very much a real possibility to meet, if they can
get
passed the initial nerves. Then there are the couple that don't have
that chance. The couples that are countries, and sometimes oceans,
apart. They must spend each day eternally longing for a touch that
they
may never have a chance to have. Walk through everyday life without
meeting the that they love so dearly. For whatever the reasons may
be
that this happens, it is a very difficult thing to watch.
Today I'm writing this to offer a suggestion. I would like to
throw
out an idea of sorts that was brought to me out of a longing so deep
that it brings pain. Most of the regulars in the Tiki have been there,
and together, for a very long time. There's a bond of a closely knit
family, each caring and helping. Each opening their arms and hearts
to
the next. In essence that I'm asking you to continue something that
already happens every day. I'm asking you to help these couples to
be
able to share in each other's love, to be able to gaze into each others
eyes and to feel the warmth that their love brings. I would like to
start a collection to make these dreams a reality. Just as the rest
of
us they also deserve a chance to be with each other, to be able to
meet. If love can grow through modems and mother boards then let us
help them carry it into actual life. Please consider this and offer
up
any ideas and suggestions that you might have that could be beneficial
to this. Anything is worthwhile to give that love a chance to expand
into what it should be, and that's everlasting.

Chatting Real or Put-on???
A lot of controversy has been going on in the room lately
as to whether certain people where honest or full of bologna.
Harsh words have been said and feelings hurt over the existence
of real or imaginary people. You all must keep in mind one thing.
This is nothing but a blank screen with words on it. What you see,
what you believe, what you say is all up to you. No one can make
you do, hear or feel what you don't want to. There is all ways the
off button. Yes some of us have become very close and some of us
have been hurt, and still some of us keep coming in. whether or not
you choose to believe or disbelieve someone is your choice, your
right. However you do not have the right to try and force your
feelings onto someone else. If you disbelieve then do so but do not
attack one who chooses to believe and the same goes the other way.
I am by nature a distrustful person, I had to become one in order
to survive a past best left alone. However that doesn't mean I can
not find tolerence for those who are trusting by nature. IN fact I
envy them. Tiki people on the whole you are a great bunch of people
and I enjoy my time with you very much. However I am now urging
you all to practice a little common courtesy to each other and
let the controversy of who is who and what is what die down.
Life is to short to waste fighting. Let us enjoy our time to
together as best we can. Peace be with you all.
Blessed be.
Not sure what this weeks article is going to turn into so bear with
me
please.
In the last two weeks, it seems that certain things that used to be
held in
high regard have been cast aside to make way for shinier, glossier
things.
And all of this has been done out of the need for attention or the
ruse of
not hurting someone.
Well there are a few of us in the tiki who are apparently, just too
trusting. We believe you, we feel joy for you, or in some cases we
feel loss
for you. There are those of us that have sat in front of our monitors
and
cried as you have relayed a story to us, wanting only to hug you and
tell
you all would be ok.
And yes there are the times that someone has driven all of us to the
point
of wanting to throttle them into unconsciousness.
But that's not what I'm getting at. What I'm getting at is this...
For some, it seems that lying is as natural an act as breathing.
And for some of us, believing you is as natural as hearing the words
you
have said.
Something or someone has to change. And personally, I don't think it
needs
to be the believers. I think it needs to be the liars.
Us believers, we are a strong bunch, and we are loyal. There are even
some
of us that would give the liars of the world chance upon chance upon
chance.
We believe they have it in them to change. We believe there is some
spark of
decency still in them.
The liars, they just keep getting caught and getting knocked down,
and they
keep falling further behind because of the lies they continue to spread.
But the believers....the believers just keep going...kinda like that
energizer bunny.
When it is all said and done the believers will keep going.
And the liars....well the liars will do just that..they will lie. They
will
lie alone at night, wishing that they had one believer left.

~Untitled~
shuddering
eyes closed
complete darkness
a light touch
fingers on your skin
warm breath on your neck
this new feeling
intense
the rush of ecstasy
spills over your body
soft whispers
in the dark
you lift your hand
with your eyes closed
you find nothing
open your eyes
an empty bed
a lonely feeling
pull the blanket up
close your eyes
fulfill your fantasies
at least in dreams
we can all
try anything
once

The Sentence
A wife woke up in the middle of the night to find her husband
missing from
bed. She got out of bed and checked around the house. She
heard sobbing from
the basement.
After turning on the light and descending the stairs, she found
her husband
curled up into a little ball, sobbing.
"Honey, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Remember, 20 years ago, I got you pregnant?"
"And your father threatened me to marry you or to go to jail?"
"Yes, of course," she replied.
"Well, I would have been released tonight."
Pre-Relationship Agreement
The party of the
first part (herein referred to as she/her)
being of sound mind and fairly good body,
agrees to the following
with the party of the second part (herein referred to as he/him).
1. FULL DISCLOSURE: At the
commencement of said relationship
(colloquially referred to as the first date or match up),
each party
agrees to fully disclose any current
girl/boyfriends, dependent
children, bizarre religious beliefs, phobias, fears, social diseases,
strange political affiliations, or currently
active relationships
with anyone else that have not
yet been terminated. Further each
party agrees
to make known
any deep-seated
mother/father/brother/sister complexes and fanatical obsessions
with
pets, careers, or organized sports. Failure to make these disclosures
will result in the immediate termination of said relationship
before
it has a chance to get anywhere.
2. INDEMNIFICATION OF FRIENDS:
Both parties agree to hold the
person who arranged the liaison (colloquially
referred to as the
"matchmaker") blameless in the event the "fix-up"
turns out to be a
"real loser" or "psycho bitch". (For definition of "real
loser", see
"John DeLorean: My Story", available
at most bookstores; George
Hamilton at one of Imelda Marcos'
parties; or any picture of Bob
Guccione in Penthouse. For definition of "psycho
bitch," see Sharon
Stone in "Basic Instinct," or Glenn Close in "Fatal Attraction.")
3. DEFINITION OF RELATIONSHIP:
Should said relationship proceed
past the first "fix-up" both parties
mutually agree to use the
following terminology in describing their
said "dating": For the
first thirty (30) days both parties consent
to say they are "going
out". (This neither implies nor states any guarantee of exclusivity.)
Following the first thirty (30) days said parties
may say they are
"seeing somebody" and may be referred
to by third parties as "an
item". Sixty (60) days following the commencement of the "first
date"
either member may elect to use the terms "girl/boyfriend"
or lover"
and their mutual acquaintances may refer to them as "a couple".
Under
no circumstances are the phrases "my
better half," "the little
woman," "the old ball and chain," or "my old
man/lady"
acceptable.
Further, if both members of the party consent, this timetable
may be
accelerated; however, if either
party "gets too serious" and
disregards this schedule, the
other party may dissolve the
relationship on the grounds of "moving too fast"
and may once again
be said to be "on the market."
4. TERMS OF EXCLUSIVITY: For
the first thirty (30) days both
parties agree not to ask questions about the
others whereabouts on
weekends, weeknights, or over long holiday periods.
No unreasonable
demands or expectations will be made; both parties agree they
have no
"rights" or "holds" on the other's
time. Following the first six
weeks or forty-five (45) days, if one party continues to
be "missing
in action" without explanation, the "wounded party"
agrees to "give
up".
5. DATING ETIQUETTE: For the first thirty (30) days both
members of
the couple agree to be overly considerate
of the other's work
pressures, schedules, and business ambitions. A minimum
of three (3)
phone calls will be made between the two parties
during the working
day, and each party will attempt - with best efforts
- to originate
50% of the phone calls.
Additionally, for the first two
weeks all dates will be made at
least twenty-four (24) hours in advance; there
will be no "running
off in the middle of the night" to console
an old girl/boyfriend",
and both parties agree to strike the
phrase "but he/she needs me"
from their vocabulary. Further, during the first
six (6) weeks each
member of said relationship
agrees to attempt at least one
spontaneous "home cooked meal" and will arrange
the delivery of at
least one unexpected bouquet of flowers. Following
the first forty-
five (45) days both
parties will return to their
normal
personalities.
6. TERMS OF PAYMENT: It is agreed that
- respective gross income
aside - "he" will pick up the tab at all dinners,
clubs, theaters,
and breakfasts until:
(a) He considers her suitably
impressed,
(b) we are broke, or
(c) He says, "this is ridiculous,
you pay!".
Not included in this agreement are meals ordered
from the bedroom,
which are subject to the availability of discretionary
funds on hand
at the time.
7. LIVING ARRANGEMENTS (occasionally known as the
"Why do I bother
to keep my own apartment?" codicil):
Should said relationship
progress to the point where the couple spends more then five
nights a
week together, every effort shall be made to split
the time between
their respective apartments. Further, it is
agreed that both sides
will attempt to silence the lewd remarks of landlords,
or
roommates.
Additionally, both will avoid having their mother call at 7:30
in the
morning. He agrees to "pick up after himself" while
in residence at
her apartment, including washing his whiskers
out of the sink, and
assisting with household duties. (By the same
token, she agrees to
respect his right to keep his apartment "a mess".) (Especially
since
we tend to excel in this area!)
8. THE 90 DAY GRACE PERIOD: For the first three months,
each member
of the couple agrees to hold the other blameless in the
euphoric use
of phrases like "Let's move in
together," "Why don't we start a
family?" and -- using archaic terminology
-- "Let's get married."
Additionally, each party agrees to love, cherish,
honor, and defend
the other party's right not to meet his parents.
9. THE "L" WORD: For the first sixty (60) days
both parties agree
not to use the phrase "I love you."
They may love plants, dogs,
cats, cars, concerts, or the way a particular pair of jeans fits,
but
not each other. Failure by one
party to abide by this rule will
result in the other party using the "G" word . . . "Gone."
10. GROUNDS FOR TERMINATION: Any of the following
will be grounds
for immediate termination and final dissolution of said relationship:
(a) Excessive use of chatty
French phrases;
(b) Ending any argument
with the sentence "My ex- used to do
that same thing";
(c) Suggesting - no matter
how kindly - that the other
member should seek "help";
(d) ending any argument
with the phrase "My analyst
thinks you are..."; and
(e) complaining more than
twice about the contents of the
other party's refrigerator (or lack thereof) .
11. DECLARATION OF STRENGTH: At
the time of breakup each party
reserves the right to make the other feel guilty by using
one or all
of the following phrases:
(a) "You'll never find anybody
better";
(b) "Nobody could ever make
you happy";
(c) "I'll find somebody
who can really appreciate me"; and
(d) "My analyst thinks you
are .. . ." (Psychosis to be
filled in at the proper time.)
12. MISCELLANEOUS:
(a) Each party agrees to give the other at
least five minutes'
notice before terminating
said relationship;
(b) Both parties agree to remain exclusive
until such time as
the relationship appear
to be "on the rocks";
(c) At the termination of said affair:
(1) both parties agree to
be mature and return compiled
socks, sweatshirts, books, record albums, door keys,
personal undergarments with all due haste through an
impartial intermediary;
(2) each party agrees to
wait at least seventy-two (72)
hours before engaging in sex with any of the other's
friends;
(3) both parties agree to
refrain from slandering the other
for a period of at least seven days (bedroom
performance included), and further consent to use one
of the following nebulous terms in the description of
the breakup:
"The timing wasn't right";
"He/She wanted more than I could give";
"He/She was too involved in his/her career";
"He/She decided to go back with his/her
(a) girl/boyfriend;
(b) last lover;
(c) hometown;
(d) therapist".
13. ADDENDUM: After the initial breakup
- no matter what - both
parties agree to give the relationship "one more shot".
