I was bored, it was 4:00 AM, and I wanted someone to talk to... the only logical thing for me to do was to search for "pay phone numbers" (oh, of COURSE!). That's how I happened upon this site. In my 6 years or so on the net, it's one of the best sites I've ever been to... I'm attracted to the unusual, and "normal" is something sorabji is NOT. Nay, it's a mind-boggling mix of babblings, questions, and half-answers, and damnit, I love it. All hail Sorabji!

*l* I came here from Disgruntled Housewife I think? Or from a link from that site to this one then I lost it... then I found it again with the Payphone project. Looks as tho thats pretty famous!

Actually, I was searching netfind for Slyvia Plath and it brought me to What do you Want. And I haven't been here too long, but i know it will become a frequently visited favorite place. I hate webaholism.

Believe it or not, it was my grandmother who led me here. And this is not a rip off of Quidam's superb discourse. She told me of the page where my cousin had found all the pay phone numbers. She didn't have it quite right, tho, and I faced many of the beasts that lurk at the ends of false internet addresses. I finally tracked down my cousin and, with my hands about his throat, he finally confessed that it was, indeed, sorabji.com.

Repent now or you will all be thrown into the lake of fire forever, and I will be in paradise watching you sqiurm and nash your teeth and try to say your sorry to God, but it will be to late for you then, you fools!!! Jesus is coming back soon and you will all be sorry when He does. Coming soon: Why Cristian haters will die an endless death burning in hell FOREVER & EVER. May God have mercy on you all, Amen

Fuck you and your god. AMEN

Explain this to me, one step at a time. From the beginning, so that it makes sense. No assumptions here. Really. I'd LOVE to see you do that.

Forget it Starchy, it will never happen. That post is either a troll, or the confused babblings of someone who had a disappointing life. Either way, you will never get a logical answer from them. My bet though is that it's a troll.

Did you know that they kidnap trolls and force them into slavery running Saab cars? True! I swear!

I suppose it beats living under a bridge.

One cold night in January I turned on my computer. Being the practical person that I am, and a newbie to the net, I searched for entertainment in netscape's cool sites. The payphone project caught my eye. Surfing for the first time and I came here. How about that. I lurked around the payphone story posts and then found the mingle questions. After reading Mark's old open letters for three nights in a row at the old site I had a terrible neckache but came out alive. I recently fell off the internet wagon but am determined not to be an addict. This will always be a nice place to visit. I just don't want to live here, haunting it in that attention-starved, bored way I once did. Best wishes to the crazy conglomeration of webcrawlers assembled here at Sorabji.com.

I believe the fact that i'm 16 and have no life other than school might have contributed to me coming here. Oh, no that's wrong. Stupid me. Some lazy guy wanted me to interpret a book's meaning for him. Poor lad. So i got on the 'ol search engine and found a message board. And aren't I glad that I found it. Now I have something worthwhile to pass my time instead of doing say, calculus homework, not to mention my damn english paper. I extend my greatest appreciation to Pet Rock...and all of you other wonderful souls for giving me something entertaining to read.

hey man, i was just lookin' for some weed.

hi, alyssa.

Hi Kelsey :)

I realize this is a common answer, but I found it through a link to the open letter to the makers of Kool-Aid...and now I have the Paul Haws and Rod Barnett sagas to keep me entertained at work....

Hello to all! I found this place whilst looking for a chorlton and the wheelies page, loved that and now spend my time reading your comments and occasionally adding my own.. thanks and keep going!

I don't know how I got here I think I am lost I have been trapped in this room alone with only a computer for too long won't some one come save me!!!!

HEHEHE

Juniper, why did you send me here? This is hurting my head...

I am trying to destroy you, as are most people.

Juniper, I want you. The way you type is sooooo sexy. Cum to me baby. I'll be waiting...

Southie....oh my god, you were looking up The Old Man & The Sea, weren't you??? I can't believe they don't have some type of Cliffs Notes for that damn book. Oh, and you're welcome....

one day i just woke up and there it was.

hey Phreak shut your fucking mouth so Jupiter having fun yet..........

I didn't find Sorabji.com. It found me. One night, while walking home from tumbling class, I was accosted in a dark alley by a big fat Sorabji. It's breath was rank and smelled of cheap booze and cigarettes. I tried to fight, to struggle against it's crushing weight as it pressed me further into the pile of damp trash. It was no use, it was simply to powerful. It had it's way with me in all sorts of diabolical ways. I was a ragdoll play-thing, privy to all it's lustibulous secrets. Contrary to popular belief, they don't prepare you for this in tumbling class. I never felt so violated and dirty and it took me years before I was able to accept and deal with my own internal fascination with the event. I never went back to tumbling class again.

By accident...if you believe there is such a thing. Personally, I believe it was some form of diabolical mind control.

i dunno what i'm doing here... but it was cool... heh heh

All you people need to get a life, And while your at it, just say "NO" to drugs. m1a1man

November 1997 was the first time I came to this site. I accused a friend of never thinking about me after we parted ways and he told me to go to this site where he posted a few "thinking of her" postings. So I guess next month is my 1 year anniversary of coming to this site. Time sure does fly right on by. ha ha!!

Listen, I bought a computer, haven't slept for days! Found this strange site - HELL - (which by the way I am now addicted to) and it linked me here! Somebody please help me.........I need my nice sane life back before my husband leaves me... See ya again.

i thought you regretted your marriage, anyhow? this site is totally addictive. go with it. there's far worse addictions, as far as i'm concerned. i try to limit myself to once in the morn, and once at night. doesn't always work, though.

Whoa, bizarre----Hell--and linking you up with sorabji.com !! Could be-though, probably not.... More like limbo.............(an ENJOYABLE limbo, mind you !)............

WOW-you weren't kidding about HELL being a strange site......I just came back from HELL....I almost didn't make it !! Check it out, people, if you haven't.............

I just stopped in this morning to tell everyone Merry Christmas! *hugs*

thanks for the hug. i think i peed a little. just exciteable i guess.

Okay.......so I guess talking about hell.com wasn't very appropriate at Christmas time......

holy hell.. i am so pleased to find out that so much later, this message is still going. praise be!

Oh.....okay,then, Chordata mentioned hell, too...

Where have you been Chordata?

i have been taking a break from the internet. it's nice to see you guys again. hope you're still behaving yourselves.

Chordata, are you mental ??????

I got here through a link on Robert Anton Wilson's website (makes sense...). I hope to return the favor by including sorabji.com as a link on my band's web page. www.angelfire.com/mi/heyshutuprecords this isn't really a plug, but if anyone thinks I'm kidding, you can check it out. or not.

Your link didn't work. And you didn't format it correctly (and you know how lazy Sorabjiites can be). R.C. - give him a lesson on how to do the linky linky thing.

I found this site and blew it off, then got bored an tried it, and now...now I leave it minimized all day at work and between calls and printjobs and faxing and arrangin travel I check the WAYD and search new messages. The actual page I got to here from was one called www.myboot.com, and that guy got it because someone saw his page and e-mailed it to him. He humbly admits that it is vastly superior to his page. The Open letter to the makers of Kool-Aid did more than amuse me. 'Nuff said. Except: Mark, did you ever get any kind of response?

the short version: I also got here through http://www.myboot.com the long, dull version: a couple of sort-of friends of mine broke up. the girl stopped writing her web diary, which apparently was very popular in the online journal world, and the boy started one of his own all about the breakup. I wanted to find out if anyone else on the web was writing about this amazing soap opera, so I looked up their names on http://www.altavista.com and found that http://www.pigdog.org had a running feature called "net loss: the rollins/shipley crisis." pigdog had a link to some net digest, and there I found the link to www.myboot.com, and there I read about http://bbs.sorabji.com. I think I came here because I liked the guy's descriptions of either the stories or the photos. I love the photos on the start page, by the way, especially the recent pepsi and razor-wire pictures.
