248.0. "Fantasy Notes" by GOOBER::ROSS (My nodename is embarrassing) Thu May 24 1990 17:44

There's a program available that takes notes extracts by author and generates a
random "note" based on key phrases and sentence structure... See if you can
guess who "wrote" this "note."

===================================

    I don't think a Magic/Jordan game is one-dimensional. Doug made stuff
    like that up, and I as a result. I don't see Magic and James needs to
    be ignored.

    Laimbeer's hip checks certainly do effect shots. They happen during
    the offseason, they are going to shoot? Well Akeem only does two
    things. He can dunk, or he just wasn't able to read the defense and
    that's a bigger part of the one or two open men.

    If he lands me, Robinson will have a big scoring night. And these
    days, when larry scores big, there's usually more than Bird is more
    like the MVP voting than Akeem. You doubt it? Make the bet.

    Remember, Chicken Little, you claimed to have the majority of your
    team's shots has fallen off in shooting by over 10%, you better
    believe the coach deemed it best to give all three guys the whole game
    off, are you debating his right to do with my argument which you've
    fractured here.

    Yeah, edp wrote the Markhov program.  He extracted notes from various
    people and munged them all up.  
    
    I guess the note in question was written by DR 00:00.

Try this one:

================================================================

    I can't believe I'm doing this, but if there's strong opposition I'll
    go out on a horrid shooting night last night, and nothing was working.
    At one point he was being escorted by Warren Martin, ex-Tar Heel big
    man. (And I mean *big*.) Warren must be especially pleased with this
    guy questioning JR's screen and roll for their big people, which is
    why Rogers can't go to class." If anything I think we're the best
    front court in America. Not a good start this year and played pretty
    well this year. (Tom Haas, step on up, will ya? Please??)
    Statistically he averaged 8 rebounds and 11 freshmen and sophomores.
    The team of the tournament *is* to win it was wrong of him to
    resurface in the conference with the game when left?

    Better rebounding. Better shot selection. A thousand times better
    defensively. Fewer turnovers (though he still had too many). Okay for
    starters? The last statistics I heard Rice was still breathing.

    More to the winnner of the most fundamentally sound players to ever
    play at Carolina. Bob Knight himself called Sam one of the most
    fundamentally sound players to ever play at Carolina. If you watched
    the game when we only want a 3 is he forcing them. Last night he was
    being escorted by Warren Martin, ex-Tar Heel big man. (And I mean
    *big*.) Warren must be working for the most obvious problem. Look for
    him to no end if he lives up to a good collegian. He's off to a
    Providence choke-job. PC had the edge with the Hogs. In many ways they
    represent a clone of OU in terms of coaches have had bad starts - some
    even worse. (Knight and Crum come to mind. One was the last couple of
    non-ACC teams are involved in a ;^)!) But a few additional turnovers
    by Virginia and you (or Mike Childs, BTW) won't touch it with some new
    moves to survive. JR will (he's a survivor), but it's pretty obvious
    at this point which of the most ferocious PT fights ever at Carolina.
    Watch out 2nd semester ...

    For anyone interested in running Eric Postpischil's program, here
    is a brief set of instructions and explanations.  
    
    First you must copy the files into your account:
    
    $ BACKUP/LOG ALIEN::USER:[POSTPISCHIL.PUBLIC]MARKOV.SAV/SAVE *
    
    Then you must compile the C files (BUILD.COM has all the instructions).
    NOTE:  Must have V3.0+ C compiler.
    
    $ @BUILD
    
    Then you just run the MARKOV.COM file.  Give the username and the
    conference name as it appears in your notebook: @MARKOV name conf.
    NOTE:  Must have VMS 5.0 or better.  Also note that I am using
    SMITH as my username.  Please substitue that with the user
    you want.
    
    $ @MARKOV SMITH SPORTS   
    
    This will create a SMITH.TXT file that will appear in [.DATA].
    It is a file containing ALL the notes of the specified user from
    the specified conference.   The next thing to do is to create
    the NEW notes.  By typing in the next 2 lines you will get the
    new file SMITH.OUT. 
    
    $ @MARKOV
    $ MARKOV -A [.DATA]SMITH.TXT -G SMITH.OUT -G SMITH.OUT
    
    To mix two people, use the following command line.  NOTE:  Must
    go through the steps to create DOE.TXT first.
    
    $ MARKOV -A [.DATA]SMITH.TXT -A [.DATA]DOE.TXT -G SMITH_DOE.OUT
                                           
    	The .OUT file is the NEW file.

>JD, in a fit of John Hendry Ninja Like passion, spilled iced tea
>all over this elderly couple in Giants stadium lasted August.
    
    Oh, I wouldn't say spilled...  In the heat of this lucid argument we
    were having trying to define exactly how much superior the Jets are to
    the Giants  (JD agreed with me completely, but we could come to terms
    on the magnitude of said superiority), JD grabbed one of his 2 cartons
    of iced tea, supposedly the empty one, and smashed it on his forehead
    in a manner reminiscent of Bluto in Animal House. 
    
    Needless to say, it wasn't the empty, but the full one, which proceeded
    to splatter everywhere in a 5 to 10 seat radius, most especially the
    unfortunate oriental group in front of us.  Suitably embarrassed, JD
    muttered something of an apology, and said he'd leave if people wanted
    him to leave.  He then slumped into his seat and remained quiet...at
    least for the next 2 minutes.

Dan --

I agree with you completely except for the part about the Jets
superiority.

My sources say that JD was getting supremely frustrated with your
obstinance in believing that the Jets are capapble of playing
at a level commensurate with that of the Giants.  (I think I might
have misused commensurate, but what the heck, it's Friday).

Anyway, in utter frustration, he wanged himself on the head with
Iced Tea....

    Hey Dick, how about the Islanders. Stasny will lead the league said it
    was the year they lost to the Mill Thursday to get some good
    discussions about boxing with the Lakers had about as much as
    possible. He's damned no matter what he does. Even though they're
    killing the B's were losing a bundle on those bums two weeks for the
    Oilers. He's either headed for Daddy Warbucks in L.A. or back home.
    Bruins need a good first half, but was solid this year.

    Since I work pretty closely with the opening of their logo, so our
    foot-soldierdom should be used in a car accident shortly after getting
    the job. I've done it many times in the CCHA, 12 in the affluent
    families that have children playing the top before any regular needs
    kids can be taken care of. The team is a kinder, gentler SPORTS term
    for pissing contest. It is long-distance urination contest.

    In conclusion, I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe
    their women's programs are stronger top-to-bottom than the peak age is
    older than the Bill Curley fake press release. I'm also against a
    higher government requiring that a supporting cast and coaching are
    both so important in football shows much of a team. A team such as
    Dartmouth, Brown, UNH, Michigan Tech at Wisconsin

    (the survivors of these series play in any playoff series that doesn't
    end in 4 games. If the home teams win at home and sit while waiting
    for the Falcons with Andre Ware), you aren't really getting full value
    for the NFL. I admire him not only because he died too young, but be-
    cause it could have chosen to make his own best deal anywhere and the
    Dickerson trade. They give up too much for too little. Thank you, Jim
    and Bob Irsay.

    Heck Saw, what the conferense, should only be used in domes on
    artificial turf!!!!

    When I see Tommy Gun guard? Buck Williams? Jerome Kersey?

    Of course, how could I peel them off? Kinda uncool, no. In fack (tm)
    Doc, I was leaning towards the risk.

    Where I went to high school swiming and track meets. Not just
    champeenship meets, but all the seats (almost) - looked like it was a
    bench-clearing brawl that Pistons' assistant Brenden Suhr called "the
    worst I've ever seen."

    The Flames put Wamsley in the NBA. The Lakers were outplayed, and
    outcoached this series. Through 3 games, the combined goals scored is
    11.

    Strudland got the ball out of it, and folks would adore me. I'd make
    zillions of bucks, not give a rundown. No - I was told their was no
    where have I said I had to close to staging a major accomplishment,
    the type of guy - UWash - a tall white guy from each school in one of
    you have a 3-2 - Kings pass to Gretzky at the blue line - NO ONE
    COVERS HIM!!!!! Gretzky waltzes in until the Flames notice him - A -
    R, H - A - R- Veeeee, V - A - R, H - A healthy Ralph Sampson for one.
    And what I've said about Patrick I'm not passing off as fact. As for
    the autopsy. So far, it seems they decided he could not play patsies
    all year, then suddenly, come playofftime, crunch time, say - gee, I
    don't know what you implied when you feel your anger getting out of
    improv or desperation, but rather by rote.

    I cain only hope that I'll be rooting for them - no noise, and all the
    action. Perhaps they should act like it. Said chucking a few others.

    I'll answer the rest of us noters who don't get picked up in this
    note. It ain't worth it - but the 9er's went to the rescue? I find it
    hard to describe the dutch, who had Wilkes and Jabbar from UCLA - was
    there another UCLA boy on those teams?

    I also had deals. Again, a form of advertising. Go to local hangout
    and see what happens. Obviously, they didn't play better or deserve
    it, but that last night and was thinking the Kings scoring the tying
    goal short-handed. I never did figure out what J.D. meant, did ya!!!)

Well, here's one if JD and Hawk were to merge :-).

    Re: pass Interference - not exactly going out for things like that.
    The announcer sort of like someone's idea to surprise my 75 year old
    mom with my Cons! And did I compare a Jordan-less Bulls to the "6th
    man" who often logged as much, if not all, drunks at Sullivan Stadium
    have indulged way before they face the Eastern Conference winner for
    the day? Is this for T, in particular, except the team, the Seattle
    Coliseum - the NFC - and it appeared to be heard. Bow thine heads in
    forgiveness for trying to explain the Broncos seeing how many dollar
    bills did you go in, there's a lot of guys out there in that series.

    Right now, it's an unpopular topic for some, but I'd really like to
    know if Loyola's style may have given the game is a riot. Especially
    Don "no soul" Johnson (or is it that wood bats are a fan of a young
    age. Way back - it is because there football factories pile in the
    H.Walker trade and offered the VIkings two mid-round picks for Jess
    Solomon, David Howard, and Isaac Holt.

    Former Bear RB Calvin Thomas, who served a 30-day drug suspension 2
    years ago, about 30-35 of us would charter the whole truth, and
    nothing but it, whattayathink I am?

    I guess college ball will depend on the money with his arms around her
    and holds the club with her. They both swing as he explains the
    technique.

    Everything is going fine until they are SLOWLY approaching the
    clubhouse. Suddenly, as they near the doorway to the chestnut. The
    other end of the whole game was listening to 'Saw take on five
    12-year-olds in a metal box and buried it in two.

    Jeff Needle looked like Yasar Arrafat when he agrees with you, and I
    was about 8-9 years old, and had learned about a particular stadium,
    city, etc. The vast majority of noters. What a memory, Dan.

    Thanks, JD. But, what's with the NFL as an entity, or anything to do
    with the local channels. Other than that, we've been forced to accept
    the one injured part.

How To Write a Rap / House(glorified disco) / Disco Song
--------------------------------------------------------
 
LYRICS:
Simply take one word or phrase from each of the three columns below, in order
to make one line.  Repeat randomly four times.  Repeat process again twice
to make chorus.  Repeat last line 17 times.  Don't worry if they don't make
sense.
 
Column 1		Column 2		Column 3
 
Move it			Triple Beat		The City Streets
Get Up			Body Heat		You'll be Humpin
Pump It Up		Feel the Beat		Before the Night is Over
Get Down		Get Around		Shake your Meat
Shake it		The Joint Is Jumpin	Bustin Loose
Pump the Jam		Feet are Stompin	Disco Heat
 
BACKBEAT:
Program a drum machine in neverending 4/4 time.  Add occasional snare.
 
BODY:
Add monotonous bass in one key.  Overlay with puncy sounding synth.  Get
previously unknown singer to talk the lyrics so as not to test the range
of the vocal chords.
 
PRODUCTION:
Put above ingredients together on master tape.  Press discs.  Give the label
a suitably techno-funk sounding name, like "Mixmastermeatbeaters".  Sell 5
million copies to unsuspecting public.  Win MTV Award.
 
 
The sad thing is the public will *think* you've been creative...  
 
Better still, this process can be automated via a lyric C program, a random 
synth base and music generator, and the discs mastered directly by computer
control.
 
This relieves the composer of decisions regarding which phrases and notes
to use in production.  By pressing the <RET> key, more than 100 CD's a week
can be generated.
 
This I have done, below is a sample composition guaranteed to make megabucks:
 
-----
"Get down" by Mixmastermeatbeaters
 
Get down the joint is jumpin' you'll be humpin'
Shake it feet are stompin' in the city streets
Pump the jam feel the beat with disco heat
Move it get around 'til the night is over
 
(chorus)
Get down to triple beat shake your meat
Pump it up get around in the city streets
 
Pump the jam to triple beat you'll be humpin'
Shake it get body heat 'til the night is over
Get up the joint is jumpin' you'll be humpin'
Pump it up feet are stompin' I'm bustin loose
 
(chorus)
Get down to triple beat shake your meat
Pump it up get around in the city streets
 
Pump it up get around in the city streets
Pump it up get around in the city streets
Pump it up get around in the city streets
etc..
-----
 
Note that this is indistinguishable from the human generated version.
 
For those who wish to compose themselves, the program appears in the next
posting.  I hope for a cut in the royalties :-)
