Kiwi:If you wish to train your Zimbob
you must tell it why it is bad and how
it can be good. You can't just say
"BAD" and expect it to change into
what you want it to be.

Maybe you should study Pavlov's Zimbob
for better psychological training.

Don't worry, Belboz, Zimbob knows full well why he is such a BAD Zimbob.  A
BAD, BAD, BAD, Zimbob!  He's just chock full o' badness.  In fact, he's the
root of all badness in the universe.  Why just today he's done well more than
6.023 * 10^23 bad things.  The number of times today that he hasn't given a
Coke to me is enough badness to last a normal person many lifetimes.

Title: Quantum Theory
From : KIWI
Date : 02-11-86
Time : 14;52

Badness is quantized!  Also, there is a limit on how much badness can be
compressed into one place, and you guessed it: Zimbob is at that limit! This
also explains Zimbob's enormous mass, since the badness particle (the zimbon)
has a mass just a tad greater than the electron.

Note that this pioneering discovery makes accurate measurement of badness a
realizable possibility in our lifetime!  Currently, researchers at Stanford
are attempting to measure the badness of Edic.  It is thought that possibly
there is a root of root of badness, which would finally explain Edic's
eccentrities.  (Maybe that's it!  Maybe the zimbon is really an Edic particle
(as yet unnamed) revolving in a Keplerian ellipse, and the worse it is, the
greater the eccentricity of the ellipse.  The only question is, what are at the
foci of the ellipse?)

                                                                    --Kiwi

Time : 23;11

Zimbob has ALREADY reached the limit of badness!  However, due to the fact
that the badness compression limit is less than (but not all that much less
than) the mass compression limit, though Zimbob is quite massive, his
gravitational field is not so immense that he creates an event horizon.  At
first this may sound like a good thing, but I will leave it as an exercise to
the student to figure out why it is really a bad thing.

                                                                   --Kiwi

It would be very bad if Zimbob became a Bad Hole because then he would be
SOOOOO bad, that not even any Unbadness could escape him!  The world would
be sucked into Zimbob eventually (Hence the phrase 'Event' horizon). This
would, of course, have the effect of re-creating the cosmic egg we were all
hatched from.  Only this egg would have a badness yoke instead of a goodness
yoke.  You see the danger in this of course!

Lets all try to avoid this horror and give Zimbob all the goodness we can
spare.  Only in this way will the world really be safe for the UnBad

I think that I first begin to suspect the magnitude of Zimbob's badness early

surrounded by marauding bedouins, and he declined to go on a Coke run to the
Kroger's at King and High for me.

Ah, yes, I remember it well.  Except you've got one detail wrong, there, Krill
ol' chap: Zimbob was supposed to go to the 7-11 on First and High.  Well,
anyway, we armed Zimbob with a titanium-alloy quarterstaff given to us by some
time-travelers we'd met just moments before (they gave it to us out of
gratitude for rescuing them from the N-dimensional Rubik's Cube that was
bearing down on them in the Nth dimension, but anyway--) and he killed
bedouins right and left on his trek to the 7-11.  They were shooting their
crude firearms at him from all directions, but he managed to block all the
bullets with his extraordinarily proficient staff-wielding.  Several
ricocheted right back into the barrels of the guns that fired them!  Without
sustaining a single injury, he made it to the 7-11 and then courageously
began the return journey.  He wisely gave priority to the bullets headed
toward the Coke rather than the ones headed for his own body, knowing that if
anything happened to the Coke, the fate we'd have in store for him would be
far worse than any mere bullet-wound.  After having both his eyes shot out, his
lungs punctured, both his legs broken, his right hand shattered beyond
recognition, and having soiled his medal of uncommon valour which
was bestowed on him by the then leader of the Bavarian Illuminati, Helen
Keller herself--still he fought on!  Even in this state, he was able to
protect the Coke with the same efficacy during the remaining two-thirds of the
way back to camp, sustaining injuries so hideous that I dare not recount them
here lest I upset the ladies, he finally made it back, and with his dying
breath, delivered the Coke intact.

And can you believe this?  He had bought WARM Coke instead of COLD!

                               Now THAT'S bad!

That's right: PROOF of Zimbob's badness, for those remaining few that have yet
to be convinced.

The other day, after Zimbob had broken into my house to steal my silverware, I
announced to him that I was preparing to compress my least favorite cat,
-eardo, and could he please come back later or better yet not at all.
Evidently he didn't hear me over the din he was creating by scooping up my
spoons and cramming them into his shirt pocket, so I repeated my
announcement/request into the megaphone I just happened to be holding.  This
time, however, he'd moved on to the refrigerator and was shrieking something
about how shocked he was that I kept my Coke in my refrigerator and not my
oven, and so still didn't hear me.

I ran up to the attic and dug out my trusty gigaphone, given to me by Krill
for my 6.023 * 10^23rd birthday, and ran back downstairs, only to discover
Zimbob sexually molesting a rotifer!  I snuck up behind him and giggled my
announcement into the gigaphone at point blank range.  (It's hard to keep a
straight face when watching something like that.)  When Zimbob finished, he
asked, "Are you going to compress her along the vertical axis or the
horizontal axis?"

Imagine!  Not knowing that every cat has its own axis of compression!  So I
ripped his lungs out.

I know it's hard to believe...But I have isolated Zimbob's badness in `
laboratory experiment...As always, I have kept an accurate journal of my
discovery...Here are my notes:

03/06/86 -EXPERIMENTS IN WARM NEW FORMULA COKE AND IT'S RELATION TO BADNESS-

Experiment 001:

  Today I went to the store and bought a sixpack of New Formula Coke, the soft
drink which, when heated to extreme temperatures, seems to be a prime element
of Zimbob's badness. For the good of mankind, I am about to engage in a series
of intense and admittedly dangerous tests, hoping to isolate and identify the
prime element(s) of Zimbob's badness.

Heating the soft drink in a microwave oven for 12 minutes, I have noticed that
it has reached it's boiling point, and is sufficiently warmed to initiate the
next test: My faithful companion and all around guinea-pig, Pee Wee, will now
attempt to taste the heated liquid. Hmm...Odd. The Coke has lost all
carbonation. Could this be in some way related to badness?

Pee Wee has now finished his dish of hot Coke...He's licking the dish...I
wonder if some how, the lack of carbonation is related to Zimbob's
badness...If only we could carbonate Zimbob and see...Wait, Pee Wee is turning
around...He seems a bit larger than he did before undertaking this experiment
for the good of science and goodness everywhere...He looks...He...looks...BAD!
Uh-Oh...He looks REAAAAAL BAD! He looks like...Zimbob! (Except a bit more
furry...) He's coming this way...I can get a chance to observe this new
badness that has manifested in him up close...Wait...Oh my God, where did he
get those teeth?!? Um...Pee Wee? Good boy...Good dog...NO! Stay

I've finally found a way to destroy Zimbob forever!

Let us watch as he falls into my trap:

The Place.... Kiwi's Kitchen.  The Time... Now.

Kiwi is hiding in a corner, hoping to avoid Zimbobs BAD gaze.

Zimbob moves to the cabnets.  He opens them.  He removes the silverware.
As he is putting the silverware in his pocket, it begins to glow.  He
doesn't notice.  He goes to another.  Uon opening it, He sees the 103 degree
can of new formula coke.  He takes its.  Before he can open it,  His pants
start to smolder,  they burst into flame!  Out from his pocket come 10 Bill
clones!  They had been compressed into silverware form for just this purpose.
They are swarming over him!  My GOD!  I cant watch!  They are devowering his
BADNESS!  He opens the coke to replenish his strength.  As he takes a drink,
a horrible scream comes from his throat!  Its NOT coke!  Its Ice-cold
DR PEPPER!  It gets spilled on his hands and arms.  It eats through them
like acid!

He has fallen to the floor and is moaning loudly.  Kiwi does his part.

'You are BAD Zimbob!  For this you shall be tormented until time itself comes
to an end, and Coke has vanished into the mists of time.'

Kiwi drags the almost dead Zimbob to the closet.  As Zimbob begins to strugle,
Kiwi turns on the VCR.  'NOOO!!!!!  Not Monty Python movies!' screams Zimbob.
'Yes,' replies Kiwi, 'And after that,  DR WHO!'

By now, Zimbob is wimpering and begging for mercy.  I approch.

'Zimbob,' I say, 'Do you know why you have been punished like this?  The
Reason is....  sometimes, its BAD to be BAD!'

We are safe from Zimbob now.  You may all live your lives in peace.  For

So where's that Coke???  You should send it by Purolator Courier, since
they're the only ones that know how to handle Coke.  A bottle of Coke should
always be kept in an upright position to ensure proper flavor distribution.

Well, I just got my Coke from Zimbob.  Good Zimbob!  What a good, good, good,
good, GOOD Zimbob!  Mmmmmm...  What a GOOD Coke!  It sure looks like Zimbob is
living up to his promise to be good.  He could've gotten the Coke to me a bit
faster, though.  That's what he gets for using USPS instead of Purolator
Courier.  This Coke must've spent several days in the mail.  Let's see,
where's the postmark....

What?!  Zimbob, this was mailed from Cleveland!

THAT'S NOT FAR ENOUGH AWAY!!!

Finally -- the Cleveland connection
has been exposed!

The contraband Coke is first stashed
in contra band instruments and sent to
Washington for propaganda material.
The Coke is then thrown in the Potomac
and drifts out to sea.  A Russian spy
luxury cruise liner picks up the Coke &
takes it down through the St. Lawrence
Seaway.  After reaching the banks of
the swollen Lake Eire (soon to be the
Eire Plain in 200 years) the Coke is
dumped off the ship. Trained seagulls
ingest the Coke and fly to Zimbob's
lair.  He purifies the Coke from the
seagulls' system with an unnecessarily
expensive and complex electrodialysis
unit.  After wrapping the
non-Newtonian liquid with
flame-retardant packing, Zimbob mails
the package to Krill.

Hallelujah, brethren and sisteren!  We have WITNESSED a MIRacle!
   (A-MEN!)
A BLES-sed event!
   (Yes, sir!)
For Zimbob was on the EDGE of a pre-ci-pice!
   (I KNOW it!)
His TOES ... were over the rim!
   (Tell it!  Tell it!)
And below him ... gaped the yawning jaws of HECK itself!
   (AAAooooww!!)
And then...
   (YES, sir!)
 ... and THEN...
   (TELL us about it!)
 ... and T-H-E-N...
   (Glo-ry!  GLO-ry!)
 ... at the last POSSIBLE instant ... his face burned -- S-U-N-burned, I say,
by the RAGING fires of DARNation...
   (Tell it!)
 ... then came the MIRACLE post from Macro Man...
   (Praise Him!  Yes, tell it!)
 ... which PLUCKED Zimbob BACK from that foul chasm of corruption, that
singularity of sina, that dank miasmic den of decadence ...
   (Where?  Where?)
 ... and drew him back to salvation, back into the company of his loving
friends.
   (Ummm...)
Let us open our hymnals now, to number 911.



   Amazing Post, deep and profound,
   That changed ol' Zimbob:  Wheee!!
   He once was bad, but now he's good;
   Was cruel, but now he's ... sweet.

   No more to pull the tiny legs
   From kittens by the ton;
   No more to carve a mustache on
   Mount Rushmore's Jefferson.

   With coins of Lady Liberty
   He won't replace a fuse;
   Nor tell Imelda Marcos that
   She's running out of shoes.

   The thought of popping paper bags
   At ev'ry SAC airbase
   Is now as far from Zimbob's mind
   As Buford Pusser's face.

   No more to kick the Leaning Tower
   Of Pisa, Italy;
   Nor take bolts from the Eiffel Tower
   Of France's great Pa-ree.

   And Adolf Hitler now can't hide
   In Zimbob's spare bedroom.
   And Zimbob never more will steal
   Charles Chaplin from his tomb.

   Amazing Post, deep and profound,
   That changed ol' Zimbob:  Wheee!
   He once was bad, but now he's good;
   Was mean, but now he's ... neat!
