The term was originally coined, I believe, by a comedien from Birmingham (UK) called Jasper Carrot. Now then; impetigo. My BMA Complete Family Heath Encyclopedia says, "A highly contagious skin infection, common in children, that usually occurs around the nose and mouth. Impetigo is caused by bacteria entering the skin through a broken area, such as a cut, cold sore, or an area affected by eczema. The infection occurs more often in warm weather. It was once extremely common, but occurs less frequently now because of improved standards of personal hygiene. Small epidemics occasionally occur in schools. The skin reddens and small, fluid filled blisters appear on the surface. The blisters burst, leaving moist weeping areas underneath; the released fluid dries to leave honey coloured crusts on the skin. The infected area may spread at the edges or another path may develop nearby. In severe cases there may be swelling of the lymph nodes in the face or neck, accompanied by fever. Rarely complications such as septicaemia or glomerulonephritis (a type of kidney inflammation) develop." Yep, that's what I had alright, but it doesn't mention the ITCHING which was pretty unpleasant as well. Luckily it was treated before it developed too far. Nice, eh? But not as bad as a spider bite a la Crackers.

Kemp" Subject: Alloy: One busy weekend... Hey folks! This weekend I've been laboring through that annual summer rite called marriage. Not mine of course, but that of my friends Eric and Melissa. It all started Thursday, when my brother and I went to eat at Joe's Crab Shack. A hearty meal heavy on crab and then off to the various shops for a bit of shopping, with me hitting the record shops to find some extra material for use in my capacity as DJ for the reception. I wasn't having much luck, when we went to Blockbuster Music and lo and behold, what few imports they had left were on sale for 75% off. There wasn't really much there, unless you just happened to be a Claus Nomi fan, and I was getting rather discouraged when I came across an Australian pressing of Aliens Ate My Buick! Regular price on it was $26.99 (!) but due to the pricing they had in effect, I got it for a mere $6.75. Not a bad way to start off the weekend. :) So then it was off to the Bachelor party, where I introduced the best man to the wonders of all things Dolby. That night I left him with my new copy of AAMB, and when I came back the next day for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, Sam was continually singing Hot Sauce. Another convert! Yesterday was wedding day, and there was the usual hectic running about and double checking. Everything went off without a hitch until the priest intruduced us for the first time to Mr and Mrs Barsic...he mispronounced the last name. Off to the reception and the festivities of that where I did my DJ bit, and I even manged to get a great number of people to take a turn on the dance floor to I Scare Myself and Beauty of a Dream. After the reception, all of the wedding party and relatives went to a local lake resort to watch the fireworks, which was fun since everyone had a chance to change into their civvies with the exception of Sam and I. It was fun strolling around the resort in our tuxes answering the inevitable questions of "been to a wedding?" with the smart alecky reply of "No, just slumming." But, just another example of how everything goes better with a little Dolby. :) ****** Charles E.
