Hey, you guys won't believe this but over the Christmas break, I met a step-cousin (if there is such a thing) who knows Omar (and this was in Massachusetts). Pretty freaky. He was quite shocked to learn that I knew all about Omar. I thought it was pretty cool. He basically described Omar pretty much the same as everyone else. So where are all the good Omar-like stories??? You don't have to name names just post the amusing stories and make up a name. Personally, I've never been to college (full-time, that is) so I don't have any real stories to tell, but I do work with some really dorky college graduates (does that count???). Denise P.S. For you Rose-Hulman guys, my step-cousin is Eric Brodeur if anyone knows him. I know his account name but need a full email address so we can keep in touch. Thanks.

Take it to e-mail! Hear, hear! When that whole Omar shit-storm first started, I unsubscribed a.f.c because it had become a useless waste of band-width. I have just recently come back in the hope that this group is once more interesting to read. Please don't disappoint me. Thank you. ObCollegeFolklore: my undergrad school colors were Blue and Gold. Apparently, whomever was in charge of such things was fresh out of animal ideas, and so the team name was "BluGolds". -- What signature?

I don't see Omar stories as any different than the stupid user stories they tell over on Alt.folklore.computers. If you are really offended by the use of Omar's name then we can call them stupid geek stories (there, feel better now). Denise P.S. Sorry Allen if this sounds like I'm flaming you, I'm not, I'm actually flaming Tim. If you insist, I will take it to e-mail (like I would really reply to someone's e-mail flame - ha! ha!). >-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- >May joy and innocence prevail. -- Kenneth L.
