Where In The World Is JB Today ?

Since "The Virus" has focused so hard on where I post from and no one
else ever gave a shit, these posts are for "The Virus". If you have a
life just ignore them. :>)

Am I:

In Arizona ? At work ? At Kinko's ? At home (if you can call it that)?
In California ? At a hotel ? In a coffee shop ? At my friends house ?
(has a machine shop in his garage) At Speed World (local drag strip ?)
At Firebird Raceway (better known drag strip) ?

Who is my ISP ?

Who is my newsgroup provider ?

I heard a bell.

 

Probably one of the ones on the Circumfence .... as
jb went over the edge ...

"What the hell is that?" demanded Rincewind.
"It's beautiful," said Twoflower beatifically.
"I'll decide about that when I know what it is, said the wizard.
"It is the Rimbow," said a voice immediately behind his left ear,
"And you
are fortunate indeed to be looking at it. From above, at any rate."
and the
voice was accompanied by a gust of cold and fishy breath, Rincewind
sat quite
still.
"Twoflower?" he said.
"Yes?"
"If I turn around, what will I see?"
"His name is Tethis. He says he's a sea troll. This is his boat. He
rescued
us," explained Twoflower
"Will you look around now?"
"Not just at the moment, thank you. So why aren't we going over the
Edge,
then?" asked Rincewind with glassy calmness.
"Because your boat hit the Circumfence," said the voice behind him
(in tones
that made Rincewind imagine submarine chasms and lurking Things in
coral reefs).
"The Circumfence?" he repeated.
"Yes. It runs along the edge of the world," said the unseen troll.
Above the
roar of the waterfall Rincewind thought he could make out the splash
of oars. He
hoped they were oars.
"Ah. You mean the circumference," said Rincewind. "The
circumference makes
the edge of things."
"So does the Circumfence," said the troll.
"He means this," said Twoflower, pointing down Rincewind's eyes
followed the
finger, dreading what they might see...
Hubwards of the boat was a rope suspended a few feet above the
surface of the
white water. The boat was attached to it, moored yet mobile, by a
complicated
arrangement of pulleys and little wooden wheels. They ran along the
rope as the
unseen rower propelled the craft along the very lip of the Rimfall.
That
explained one mystery - but what supported the rope?
