Dan,

First, for any staff members who may have missed the Twitter convo, please
refer to that before responding.  Cancer Omega may ignore this request, so
you're on your own with him; he hasn't paid attention to anything I've
said since that /etc rm * incident years ago.

I guess none of us here really need shell accounts either, but we *like*
them.  Not sure how a shell account on attrition.org would help you
maintain those boxes; grex.cyberspace.org and sdf.lonestar.org offer free
shell accounts as well.  If you're assuming that a shell on attrition.org
would get you root access... no.  Not just no, but hellz no.  No offense
intended, that's just how it goes.

See above.  Grex and LoneStar.  They even take donations for enhanced
access, last I remember.

Over the internet???  No way!  :)

For Jericho, maybe.  You forgot me, Cancer Omega, d2d, cji, and Apacid.
We're all married.  Think "pro bono legal advice" next time.

Sorry, man.  Only #1 would come close to qualifying there.  #2 and #3 are

have anything for #1, but this ship won't float.

I'm afraid we have a bigger problem here. Section 47, Clause 12, Paragraph 9 of the Attrition Rules Of Operation 
(AROO) clearly states that:

"Fans of Tango and Cash must be anally violated with a russet potato at every opportunity. Furthermore, under 
no circumstances are they to be granted shell access."

Your only saving grace may lie in Section 14, Clause 2, Paragraph 3889 of AROO:

"Connoisseurs of scotch may be forgiven for minor transgressions, which may or may not involve a red potato."

So you see, not only do we have the question of whether or not your publicly stated affection for Tango and Cash 
is a "minor" transgression, but there is also the issue of a russet potato being a valid substituite for a red 
potato.

On top of that, Lyger already has a 25-pound bag of russet's packed for con...

a.l.

I hate radishes and beets make me projectile vomit.

How's that for something you thought you would never (want to) know?

P.S. Not going to con this year.  I hope the next time I travel I'm in a
hearse.

A relative is the Wing Commander for the Civil Air Patrol in an unnamed
Midwestern state.  The last time I was in a Cessna I was 14, he was flying
it.

Add to list of other things that make me projectile vomit, you have fun
with that now.

Be honest now. You smacked dark tangent in the face with your manhood when he asked for a shell account.

Joking aside, DT really does hate it when you wave your penis at him in a
casino.
