Chapter One -- The Beginning (duh!) In the beginning, there was a void, only the emptiness, darkness and cold lifelessness that stood before the man. Then he found the power switch and the computer came to life. And so was the first day, as KJ became tired but marveled at his accomplishment. On the Second Day, KJ discovered Windows, liked what he saw and said it was good. On the third day, he found Solitaire, Hearts and Mine- sweeper and said that it was really good. On the fourth day, he discovered Prodigy and loaded it and said, "OH BOY, I LIKE THIS!!!!!" and was up all night. On the fifth day, after 38 straight hours on Prodigy, he was beaten by Mrs. KJ and he kinda liked that too. On the sixth day, he discovered his web browser and punched in www.hooters.com; he liked it so much that he was sick from work for the next two days. Some days later, he looked around and saw what he had done and was fulfilled. So he rested, mostly because Mrs. KJ had hidden the mouse and threatened his life. In the following days, an emptiness began to return, and KJ looked to the heavens and said, "Is there nothing more?"
Chapter Two -- Globalchat A revelation happened upon KJ and he was shown the magic symbol to the Garden of Chat. Having ignored previous revelations of the necessary HELP FILES, he became lost in a world of strange and unusual creatures. He wandered the Garden both in amazement and in search of help and began to notice his loneliness. He wandered into several clans known as chat rooms, either to be rudely dismissed or bombarded with age/sex questions. He did not understand all these symbols and codes and magical incantations (lol, keys, operators, phones, "You Dweeb", etc.). He thought to himself, "Prodigy ..... hmmmm?" Then, more in desperation than by design, he found the help files and learned to find the rooms list. And thus the heavens opened, the clouds parted and the sun shone down upon #Beginners; so KJ entered. And thus KJ happened unto Sprig, Bluboo and Flannie. They com- forted him, clothed and fed him (he had been naked and looked silly), and began to give him lessons from The Book of Chat. He looked to the heavens and said, "This is good!" Mrs. KJ thought about buying a gun.
Chapter Three -- The Sacrifice to mIRC TWAS a Friday night when the heathen gods of chat claimed their first sacrifice to mIRC, and so it was that Flannie was claimed. The follow- ing night, it was Bluboo to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous for- tune. Although damaged and savagely violated, the poor souls recovered, much to the amazement of KJ.
It was then that KJ happened upon the Goddess of Chat, the one named Breeze.
While Bluboo, Flannie and Sprig nurtured and coddled the flotsam and jetsam
that continually poured into Beginners, Breeze and KJ developed a close
friendship (not that they didn't do their share to help). The Goddess
Breeze was fearful of mIRC, as was KJ, so she typed the magical words before
his eyes:
Some days later, KJ awoke from the mIRC coma and realized he had survived the ordeal. He and his 'puter were intact and, other than some rectal discomfort from the initial installation, he felt good. But this was a turning point for KJ, and he was determined that no other should suffer this fate again. With that, he patiently guided the Goddess Breeze through the mIRC'ing and she felt no pain or discomfort. With the knowledge he had gained, he spoke unto Sprig, Blu and Flannie and gave them the hidden knowledge that would forever banish the mIRC sacrificial altar.
Chapter Four -- KJ's Circumcision and Bar Mitzvah
With
KJ's passage through the mIRC "Death from Above", it was time for him to
take his place amongst the chosen ones. The first thing to do was
to complete his passage to manhood. Blu put on his rabbi robes and,
with scalpel in hands, swapped KJ the sacred operator key for a piece of
fore- skin. And KJ felt the surge of power and said, "This
is F***ing Great!" and immediately kicked five people from Beginners (including
Bluboo).
Chapter Five -- The Great Flood And so it came to pass in the first 30 days of KJenesis that the Lords of Evil saw what the blessed Beginners Garden had begun to achieve, and they grew jealous. They struck at will with takeovers and used floods to devastate the unprotected. And KJMan, now regarded as the mightiest of warriors and protectors, was the most obvious target of these attacks. The peace-loving warrior attempted to contact the creators of the Chat Garden for help, but his pleas were ignored. With his first ever utterance of his battle cry, "Prodigy Sucks!", KJMan set off to defeat the enemy. With that, KJMan developed an effective array of remotes and scripts to battle the evil hackers and chat debris. KJMan brewed a secret concoction that not only removed any evil lurkers, it banished them back to their septic pool and kept them from ever returning. During this period of the Great Floods, the transition from Beginners to BestLounge took place and, thanks largely to the skill and battle tenacity of the mighty warrior, the Hot Tub called BestLounge became the safest and friendliest of all places in the Garden of Chat.
Chapter Six -- The Round-Trip Exodus
Having
successfully
developed the strength and techniques to battle the Lords of Evil, KJMan
had unwittingly issued a challenge that was just too compelling to resist.
As daily attacks upon the mastery of the BestLounge military defenses increased,
the generals grew weary. In his heart, KJMan prayed for help for
he and his friends, and received a vision of The Promised Land where all
were safe and manna, honey and nectar were in abundance. The mighty
KJMan set out in search of this new land and, on the verge of starvation
and dehydration, crawled into an oasis named Anothernet. He was immediately
granted asylum, and feverishly built a new hot tub.
Chapter Seven -- The Gospel of KJMan
The
conclusion to
the story of KJenesis and the gospel of KJMan is best expressed in the
following psalm (any resemblence to Psalm 23 is purely coincidental and
not meant to offend). However, one footnote first: having witnessed
the recent birth of KJBoy to KJMan and KJWoman, we can all pray that their
child may be the Messiah who'll someday lead us to The Promised Land:
