Who has cable/satellite-to-receiver telecasting or however southwest can receive, and whom the topic interests, the Tilmann Jens - report “Opalcat” can look at itself around 22.30. It concerns humans, who install themselves one or more Webcams in the dwelling, and their everyday life available the “tension adjusters” to make, in which they feed the pictures in the InterNet. The report interests me above all, because I at that time by Tilmann Jens for HR 3, when I up-mixed 1986 and 1987 the Frankfurt one pseudo scene of the “advertisement” (it was a kind Chatten via free newspaper advertisements, all Pseudos waited strained for the expenditure for on Wednesdays of the “advertisement” whether one had gotten an answer, whether “its” coupons stand “in it”).

Unfortunately I will not be able to pursue it, since I am this evening not in Frankfurt, and the video recorder already for a long time any longer do not use (it accumulated too much, which I could not look at for time reasons nevertheless). Who looks at itself the transmission, perhaps a small summary would know over it posts here…??? Thank you in advance of your Until then then PAF (Patrick out Frankfurt) ---

> [@](#): > > what did michael moore say? This is a vague recollection, because that was a pretty old thread that I’m too lazy to search for and probably wouldn’t find it even if I did. IIRC, the person who posted what Moore had to say wasn’t actually a friend of his. See, the thread was all about Moore - his old NBC TV show, the accuracy of of his claims, his liberal bias, all that good stuff. A doper had emailed Moore with a link to the thread and invited him to participate. Moore declined to register for the boards and post to the thread, but he did respond to some of the assertions in a reply email to the doper. The doper then posted his response in the thread. That’s how I remember it, anyway. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t remember everything Moore wrote about, but I do recall him saying that his NBC show was actually leading the ratings in its time slot when cancelled, and that it was only killed due to corporate pressure. ---

My former father-in-law is Ision, of Celebrity Fakes fame (small time, AKAIK). I was a regular on our local segment of the Jerry Lewis Telethon every year, because I was the white trash kid who came in with the coffee can full of cash. My friend Doug and I became minorly well known amongst the Russian Immigrant population here because we pulled off the “I’m defected KGB, he was my CIA cover agent” game a little too well. Getting followed sucks. ---

[Here is some discussion about it that I can’t read.](http://selfforum.teamone.de/archiv/1999_2/t03852.htm) \*\* Hi Opalcat - I can only vaguely figure out the German discussion but it seems complimentary. I was featured on a show produced by Tilman Jens too which proves either that the world is a small place or Tilman is very large. Possibly both. We wandered around Rome with me being grumpy about the state of its churches and Tilman ate huge amounts of spinach. I put the Spinach incident in a novel and then later found out that the epigraph I used at the beginning of said book had been written by his father. Maybe largeness runs in the family.
