Subject:  Model FAQ: welcome to talk.bizarre
Date:  1996/08/07

I am the very model of a talk dot bizarre Eff Ay Cue
I'm here to say just what it is you should and what you mustn't do
To be part of our newsfroup you must read and learn and then evolve
Think of it as an algebra equation which you have to solve
If X is words from the cabal[1] and Y is all the crossposts here[2]
Then TB minus Y is X plus something which might not be clear
That is, your contribution, which you'd best think twice ere posting it --
Especially if it's devoid of cleverness and sparkling wit.
(Especially if it's devoid of cleverness and sparkling wit...)

So if you wish to talk bizarre and join in our community
Post haiku, four word story games, or just originality
In short, if you'd be welcome here, then this is what you have to do:
Just read, learn, and evolve, and please be sure to read the Eff Ay Cue.

Now, some of you may wonder who the hell I must believe I am
You probably have posted trash, then got a prompt Garcia-gram
You think there's nothing wrong with quoting an entire article
And adding of your own words just the very smallest particle
You think that if it says "bizarre" it must mean sex or dirty games
Y but don't attribute to their names
If this sounds like your modus op, then here is my advice to you --
YAASA, STFU[3], and please just hit "u"
(YAASA, STFU, and please just hit "u"...)

But if you write good poetry, or prose, or plays, or outright lies
And make us think or laugh, or both, it doesn't matter topicwise
Then you just might be welcome here, so this is what you have to do:
Just read, learn, and evolve, and please be sure to read the Eff Ay Cue.
