There hasn't been an update here in some time. Nobody noticed because nobody visits here.I have found something of note on the internet, Strunk & White's The Elements of Style. This is a standard reference for writing, and could help you a great deal.
The Management would highly recommend Everything2 as a easy way to get information, crap-free.
Added another joke to the gag email page. Whoop dee doo. It's been a slowmonthlife.

Never put a Cactus in you CD player! These evil creepy sods have teamed up with these rabid weasels to hatch an immoral scheme to blow up your pricey stereo components (mainly the speakers and the amp), by inserting big square waves and fake data into copies of your CDs.
IMHO, these discs should not have the "Compact Disc Digital Audio" logo on them. It should look more like this:

It's a SONY!Sony and Yahoo! are now in cahoots with each other. Yahoo! bought out GeoCities some time ago (under the supervision of the RAND corporation and the reverse vampires). Is this still is my web page? I quote (well, paraphrase, really) the Yahoo! GeoCities TOS, section 5, subsection A:
You agree to not use the Service to... post... any Content that is... defamatory, libelous, hateful, [or] otherwise objectionable. We know approximately where you live. All your base are belong to us!!!See y'all in data heaven!

Maybe I haven't been wasting my life! A past-time I'm almost embarrassed about suddenly becomes justified. Anyone who knows me at all knows that I spend a fair bit of time playing video games. Take a look at this:"People who play [video] games regularly seem to develop a mental state that we have seen before only in serious athletes or professionals such as astronauts, whose life depends on concentration and co-ordination. Their minds and bodies work together much better than those of most other people"Read the Sunday Times article on her work.
-- Dr. Jo Bryce, really smart woman. Well, I guess that settles it. I am going to continue to play lots & lots of impossibly violent games, until they take my cable-modem away. Right now I'm really into System Shock 2. It's kinda like a cross between Quake 3 and Alone In The Dark. It involves zombie aliens and a couple of AI's who have blown a gasket. It's got a really creepy feel to it. You have to be stealthy and smart. I'd tell you more, but there are so many reviews available.
Added a fart joke to the gag email page.My teeth hurt. A lot.
This, I find amusing. If you do a Google Search for Tony Ianno, the 21st hit (out of about 999) is my page about Tina Ianni. If you search for my name, you get gay porn. This is because there was this stupid actor named Mark Forest who was in a lot of "Sword & Sandal" movies, like Mole Men Against the Son of Hercules. <sarcasm>Great stuff.</sarcasm>
Nothing happened today.Stanley looked quite bored and somewhat detached, but then penguins often do. A Colecovision Donkey Kong awaiting its fate. Necessary for any car trip; what a terrifying proposition life really is. Let's also assume that you are not currently dealing with this particular discount brokerage company. Based on the principles of deliberate irrationality, anarchy, and cynicism and the rejection of laws of beauty and social organization. The world is full of goods trains.

A team of highly trained experts are currently examining my head for signs of senile dementia. Go fish.
Hey! Don't bother emailing me at my @home address! My home computer was stolen on Friday, June 30 some time between 7:00 PM and 1:30 AM. I'm not really sure what is gonna happen. It was stolen by a selfish backstabbing smelly jerk off who will go nameless until things are resolved. Innocent until proven guilty, etc... Needless to say, I am quite angry. A full write-up will appear as the story unfolds.Links page is now online. Admittedly rudimentary at this point.
The Flaming Death Skulls OF DEATH page in now online. This is the official web presence of the band until we come up with something good.
Seems that the polls are functioning again. I think they may have had a touch of Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. This is the time of year for it. Darn reverse vampires!Added another poll to the polls section. Please go have a look.
Added silly random quote thing on the nav bar.Removed the polls. Something strange is happening with them.
Added a brand new polls section. This lets you cast votes for certain things. Fun.
Updated the Tina page.
Here's a pic... of me. Well, it's not really me, but it looks exactly like me. It's creepy. This is scan of a pack of butts I smoked last night. Cancer runs in my family (but it kicks in at about age 80).

My thanks to the good people at DuMaurier. Speaking of smokes, those prices have been rising and rising. Soon we will have rampant smuggling, mounties gunning down natives on snowmobiles, etc.. We all know that smoking is bad, but jacking up the tax is gonna be the same old pain in the dong; just like last time they pulled this stunt.
Updated the MP3 page with a TTS'd book. For more info on TTS, see the MP3 Help page (comming soon!).One of those silly emails that's being passed around right now. I thought it was refreshing, so here it is:
To: markwilliamforest@home.comI know, it's a no-brainer. But I certainly enjoy emails like this instead of the standards, such as...
From: joanna@[domain].caSubject: A Most Unusual Paragraph
This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit it will dawn on you. So jump to it and try your skill at figuring it out. Good luck - don't blow your cool!
- Dirty jokes, fowarded indesciminantly
- Uninspired comic strips
- Urban legends and hoaxes/fake virus warnings
- SPAM!
- Anything with a lot of angle brackets in it
Updated the MP3 page today with more discs. When are we gonna join hands and stop this...Unrelated note concerning the world: There is a huge kafufle going on between the U.S.A. and the P.R.C.. The Netherlands has just legalized euthanasia. I think we could make these two concepts work together. All we have to do is send the leaders of the nations involved to a conference (wink wink!) in the Netherlands... yeah... that's the ticket...
Revamped site is online! Some links have been commented out to protect me from embarasement. Ha. A to-do list is in order, but not today, thank you. I hope this new frame arrangement works... Truth be told, contrary to the entry of April 3, there are some graphics here. But, I'm going to try to keep them to a minimum to save space and bandwidth. Some people have lousy access.I've nuked the site from orbit- it's the only way to be sure. A lot of clutter, you see... and it is spring after all.
I think I like GeoCities more and more lately. Everything seems to be running slick. I'd give GeoCities the Pepsi Challenge against any free (and some paid!) hosting services any day! Get your own share of the web today at GeoCities!
The cops are everywhere! Not just the local law, but the RCMP, the Vaughn (sp?) Regional fuzz, and some varieties of special riot stormtroopers. This happened yesterday, on Cumberland, which is a tear-gas canister's throw from where I work. They were there to protect a hotel full of world economists from a gang of senior citizens and moms pushing strollers. The ratio of protestors to stormtroopers was 1:2. This scares the bejeezus outa me. Thought I'd mention it. Full(er) story here.
I've decided that I'm in love with Margo Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies. ![]()

The complete revamp of my little space on the internet has begun. Although it's not online yet, I have the highest hopes. When I say that this page is not online, I'm actually saying that it is online, and has been online for about three years, (lasted longer than pets.com and made about the same amount of money, too), but right now, I only speak of this new incarnation; also, run-on sentences.A brief run-down on what is being changed/added:
To do:The look of the site has changed dramatically. No more shaggy carpet backgrounds. No more graphics at all! The look of the MP3 section has been completely reworked and slimmed down. Links in the Links section actually point to things most of the time. PlayStation stuff has been integrated into the rest of the site. One no longer has to play "Guess The URL!" A lot of useless crap removed (read: insane alcoholic lizard). I've decided that I like Tahoma, the blockquote tag, and aqua-marine shades. Added "MP3 Help" for the folks at work. That being said, I'm going home.Make the PlayStation stuff look like the rest of the site. Continue updating Links Have some lunch before I collapse. Finish "MP3 Help"
