DO NOT REPLY TO OFF-TOPIC OR INSULTING MESSAGES!!!
   So many people are complaining about how much space these useless
posts are occupying, without realizing that they are adding to the
problem by quoting or replying to these messages themselves.
   Posts with no BFF content are off topic. So are posts of a moderating
nature (that's my job). Usually I will send a gentle reminder to
those who violate these rules, but lately it just seems to go on
and on. As a result, please be aware that you may find yourself
unsubscribed without warning if you post an off-topic message.

BACK ON SCHEDULE
   The problem has been fixed and digests should once again be going out
daily on schedule.

I like to think of it that way! BFF Forever.

Proud to be an *Emaline* (I would be something bigger if I was older and
richer:)

ok, on NBP, during Underground Ben goes, "I'm sure you don't remember me."
Then someone in the crowd yells, "Who the fuck are you?!" I was wondering if
anyone knew who that person was, or if he is on the 'chair.

If there is a s/t japanese import left in the world, will anyone help me?
Love and BFF,
LUCY

That was really cool! Thank you. I just feel bad that I'm not a Plastic Bitch.
It's like I'm excluded from this thing that i won't ever be a part of because
I've never been to a  (BFF) concert.  Lord knows I want to go. I'm not a
Brickster, I've been here for a long time!  I'm just 15, that's all.  I wonder
that the time I get to go to a concert, they will still be small enough to
acknowledge the little guys.....
Love and BFF
Lucy *EMALINE*

To Laura Ricci (I think that's her name) who wrote about the clutch 
show in Detroit:
1. It's February 16, not 12th
2. It's all ages, you wouldn't have to sneak in, love.

Just another one of those lurkers,

Subject: comfort is a myth

 the live CMJ/KCRW/Brick single version of smoke is one in the same for all
wondering...
in case anyone cares, my place in the categorization is an Emaline, which is
actually pretty good, but i should be bumped up a level just for knowing the
origins of the phrase Uncle Plastic Bitch.
be glad this board is less than perfect. to quote Carla Buzolich(Geraldine
Fibbers): "comfort is a myth."

"when monkeys talk, i hate to kiss them"-misinterpreted lyric from "Emaline"(i
just have to mention how much the version with guitar sucks compared to the
live version).

  Or if they do in fact go with "Selfless...",

I've actually seen it quite a few times on much.  It also gets decent
airplay on Musiqueplus.  I'm glad they're playing it, seeing as the only BFF
video I'd seen them play before was BOWCCL.  And they only played it once.

And I have one ticket of my very own to the Toronto show and it's 
>mine mine mine mine!  Sorry...I'm just too happy to be empathic right 
>now.

Argghhh!  Make sure you tell (taunt) me about it.  I want every detail. :)
