the Mortuary was a BBS in the Washington DC area in the late 80s. it had, if i do say so myself (and i do), the coolest, most literate, most interesting group of weirdos ever to populate a BBS in the history of computers. in recent years, a few of us have turned up on the net. i'm hoping to find a few more. have you seen these people?

Update, 6/15/05: I've created a livejournal community for Mortuary alumni. Livejournal accounts are free; sign up and ping me and I'll get you joined up.

The Lost and Found

Found:

• The Grey Mouser -- our noble founder!
• Gypsy/Jezebel -- aka Laura Rush -- no website, though.
• Moxie/Mockingbird -- "you're doomed. you're SO DOOMED. i wouldn't want to be you, 'cause you're SO DOOMED." [home page | livejournal]
• Neomancer -- "Oh God. I'm so depressed." [livejournal]
• Scvm -- "Fuck your canoes!" [home page | livejournal]
• Squamulose Quiltsche -- "I think I'll learn to vomit through my eyes. It'll steam up my glasses, but people will be really impressed." [home page | livejournal]
• Monty Carlo -- "Oh yeah? Well, FUCK YOU!"

Lost:

• Tango Wisterna -- He once was found but now is lost again. "The difference between the perfect word and the almost perfect word is like the difference between the lightning and the lightning bug."
• Martin Scriblerus! -- aka Norman Wallis. "While breasts are always a soothing sight, the flaccid penis is not one of God's most impressive shows."
• the Flinx -- no matter what he says, dousing yourself in patchouli is NOT an adequate substitute for regular bathing
• Ford Perfect (sic) -- Son Of Scriblerus
• Lim -- you'd think, considering that he played fiddle on my demo, that i'd remember his name. but i don't. i just remember his hair. it was... tall.
• Lust Mutant -- "I'd sell my wife and kids to Arab terrorists to hear her piss in a tin cup over the telephone."
• Jackrabbit Mister -- i recall the name, but nothing else
• RONOJOY SEN -- "HI!!! MY NAME IS RONOJOY SEN AND I HAVE A NINE INCH PENIS!!! I AM ONLY 14 BUT I KNOW HOW TO FUCK REAL GOOD!!!!"
• Soda Pressing -- both Tango and i remember him as unworthy of remembrance; your mileage may vary. Hot news in from Monty Carlo: apparently, Mr. Pressing was convicted of multiple counts of child molestation and rape and may still be serving time. holy fuck.
