The ASM FAQ

Welcome to the ASM FAQ. We at ASM condemn the practice of creating lists of Frequently Asked Questions when in fact none of the questions have ever been asked. It does nothing but feed the ego of those who create it, and we feel you deserve better from your glorious leaders. Thus, we commit ourselves to only posting questions in this FAQ which have actually been asked.

With that in mind, at the moment only 64 questions has been asked about ASM, so the FAQ only has 64 answers. Don't panic. As the word spreads, more clueless dolts will visit the newsgroup and the homepage, and more questions will be asked. <sarcasm>We look forward to answering them.</sarcasm>

The same guy that invented spam. Satan.

10. If Spam were cheese would it be Velveeta or Easy Cheese?

Probably not.

Aisle Two. Everything's in Aisle Two. Just ask the guys at your local grocery store, they'll tell you about it.

12. why is that you can only get your period when you wear white underwear.

Because women that wear blue underwear don't get periods. Ever. That's what happened to under-roos, if you're curious.

13. What does the ASM in uiuc.org.asm stand for?

    14. Is there a ORG.ASM homepage?

    Yes.

    15. What would we do without you Tim?

    Well, for one thing, you wouldn't have to scroll through the "New group: news.admin.net-abuse.policy. Add to newsrc? (y/n):" things nearly so often. Of course, you would subconsciously miss it, since part of the Usenet experience is to be annoyed by such trivialities. As a result, a few poor souls would throw themselves off cliffs in despair, never truly knowing what was missing from their lives - and you're probably one of them.

    16. has no one any updates on ASM news or anything?

    ASM news is old and out-of-date. The ASM FAQ, however, is never old and out-of-date.

    17. are you trying to say that for quite some time, ASM's members have had water logged heads and since it is sooooo damn cold out we fear we will break a vein if we post here?

    I was at the time; I'm not any more.

    No.

    23. But do you have the pictures[1] to prove it?

    Yes. (Please note the question number.)

    24. will this also be in the FAQ?

    Yes.

    25. Does anyone know where I can get a comprehensive list of Champaign miniparks?

    No.

    26. Is "do somethingable" one word or two? And is "partooken" a word?

    No. No.

    27. how can you objectively answer the question of whether or not "partooken" word when you don't think it's a word?

    Yes.

    28. So what exactly are the advantages of printing under the cover of dusk?

    No.

    29. are you soiling and societing ok?

    No.

    30. Toughts?

    Yes?

    41. Speaking of the FAQ, perhaps this question could be added?

    Number 41, at your service.

    42. has the final national structure been established?

    Yes. And please note the question number.

    43. What are ASM bonus points good for anyways???

    Bonuses!

    44. For 10 ASM bonus points, what are ASM bonus points good for?

    Bonuses!

    45. Is our FAQ maintainer slacking off again?

    Of course I am. What do you think I am, a Civil Engineer?

    46. Speaking of which, where is the FAQ?

    Right here.

    47. So when do we know if we get SORF funding or not?

    Next tuesday.

    48. Oh wait, none right?

    Right.

    49. Gotcha... is there something we can do with this?

    Can do, yes. Should do, no.

    Spike the Fruit Punch with alcohol and see if you can get him under the "selling alcohol to an already-intoxicated" laws. That'd probably work.

    56. So, you might inquire, what do they do with these Application Receipts?

    They chew them up and eat them for lunch, because they don't have enough money for real food.

    57. Well, we have fourteen copies of their funding application, but without a receipt, how can we actually be sure that we received this application?

    You can't. Too bad, SORF. Muhahahaha...

    [ March 25, 1998 ]

    58. Why isn't our home page location mentioned in the FAQ?

    Isn't it? *checks* Yes, it is. Ha.

    59. Why do FAQ's exist?

    To please me.

    60. Why don't people know everything?

    Because if other people knew as much as the great FAQ Maintainer, what good would I be? I know all. You don't need to. Get over it.
