Shadows of things to come

A while ago, I was a silly thirteen-year-old who posted silly things to rec.games.roguelike.nethack:

One day a few weeks ago, I was playing a wiz named Arakazoom with
Magicbane.  That night, I dreamed that it started to talk to me.  It went
something like this:

Magicbane says: "Why do you keep hitting monsters with me?" --More--
"That athame you have would be better!" --More--
"I'm sick and tired of all this blood!"
"I'm leaving you for good!" --More--
Magicbane drops out of your hands and walks away. --More--
You feel that Thoth is amused.

I woke up the next morning and started to play my game again.  I was
almost immediately killed by a gnome lord wearing a cloak of MR [magic 
resistance - ed.].
Aaagh!

Google Groups is unforgiving in its search-archives-by-email-address powers. Apparently I posted lots of embarassing things to rec.music.dylan and alt.fan.douglas-adams too.

Hooray!
God damn render monkeys making things in <pre> look horrible when the window isn't wide enough!
Anyway, now to find these email addresses! ;P
