This list is a farce created by my demented imagination but for most of you out there these stories should be taken to heart and esposed to all non-believers. So now that all that administravia is out of the way on with the stories. Key to Listed FPLs: T = Even I believe it and I'm a scientist. aka The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth ICH= Well it could happen. aka well Novak said it was true so it must be. TL = Totally loony. aka there's no proof for this but when has that stopped us before. LOL= This is so wrong that I almost peed myself laughing. BS = A legend which grew from a known post or a post with known origin. aka the snowball effect. HMM= Unanswerable do to expected threats to my personal safety. ============================================================================== The Frequently Posted Legends of RASFWRJ. "No I mean I really did read it in the books." BS - Mat has memories of two different people from the same time. o This has been said many a time but no evidence for it has ever been found. LOL - Healing is healing. o Not only does it not make any sense but there is evidence in the books that contradicts it. HMM - Erica Sadun has a set of unpublished books that are the true interpretation of the WoT and that is why some of her quotes don't compare with the books you have. o I'm inclined to believe this since we all know how nice Erica is and so she would never try to pull a hoax on us. We also know how big her Warder's Ram truck is. "Newbies 'R' Us" LOL - Newbies should not lurk in rasfwrj before posting. o Not only is it a breach of netiquette but it usually brings out the bad side of Novak/Oilcan/... T - The FAQ was written to sit at the back of your collection to be brought up and spit out every time you have a divorce.. ,um, I mean before you decide to post. o Okay 5 points for the reference (hey this one is easy so it ain't worth much.) ICH - If you ask a FAQ Hawk/Pam/(insert oldtimer of choice here) will kindly point you to the FAQ without flaming you. o It has been known to happen from time to time. T - If you ask a FAQ Karl-John Noren will send you a pointer to the FAQ. o K-J has appointed himself as the unofficial greeter of the group. Although he doesn't have any Wal-Mart experience he does a good job. LOL - If you post a FAQ claiming it to be the one and only answer and that all other discussions before yours are moot then you will not be flamed. o All I can say if you do this you'd better have asbestos underwear. T - Joe "Uno" Shaw is the keeper of the rasfwrj FAQ and Pam Korda is the WoT FAQueen. o These people have spent quite a bit of time on these fabulous works so if your a newbie get down on your knees and lick their boots or then again you could just thank them. "RASFWRJ and You" TL - RASFWRJ is tainted and all posters will be affected by this taint. o Well I have seen some people seem to slip into madness on rasfwrj. BS - RASFWRJ is a moderated newsgroup. o If it was truly moderated then this post would never have gotten through. LOL - Pam/Novak/Erica is the groups moderator. o You don't read very well do you. Look up, look way up. No that's too far. Just above this legend is another one. As you can see it says that this group is not moderated so how could it have a moderator? LT - TAN stands for the colour of the ninth Ajah. o Maybe but within rasfwrj it stands for....Hey this is in the rasfwrj FAQ you should know it already. LOL - Posters on rasfwrj are all a bunch of semi-literate brainwashed morons. o That's another flamewar all together. ICH - Posters on rasfwrj are all a bunch of semi-brainwashed literate morans. o Dunno still trying to figure out what a moran is. ICH - You should use words like squicking and felching in all of your posts. o Well as long as it still has Jordan content. T - If you do use words like squicking and felching in all of your posts then your name is Mark Loy. o Although his mind seems to _be_ the proverbial gutter he still makes me laugh. "Socials and other rules to the RASFWRJ Drinking Game" LOL - Novak truly is the humblest man on the net. o Excuse me... yep I'm okay I've got clean underwear on.

LOL - Chad "Oilcan" Orzel is a very small animal. o Well from what I've heard a bear isn't a small animal. T - Piglet is a very small animal. o What didn't you read any Winnie the Pooh? LOL - You should have memorised how you are related to everyone else in RASFWRJ. o Well I must say I don't even know who my grandmother is here. BS - If you've never been to a DFS then you are a loser. o I've never been to one. HMM - Bill and Hawk should go and get their own newsgroup if they're going to keep doing that. o This is a family newsfroup afterall. Well there they all are however if you have something to add or comment about the above then keep it to yourself. If you just want to procrastinate then mail me my address should be in my sig.
