The only meat that I eat is chicken. I don't thing the 'rents could live with out their meat, so we made a small compromise abou that. Otherwise, I only eat chicken when I forget to ask for the TVP at the Hunan Manor in Columbia. A bit of Chinese-delicacy heaven in Central MD.

As always, I'll be glad to make copies of boots for anyone who already has all the albums. Especially you, because of the delectable pun above: "talking aboot." I'm not sure if that's an intentional pun, a tease towards Canucks, or a simple typo, but I love it. Anyway, email me and I'll set ya up. ceecee ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Aug 1998 01:09:00 GMT From: ceelove@ibm.net (Colleen Campbell) Subject: Re: moxie On 9 Aug 1998 22:43:31 GMT, norachica@aol.com (NoraChica) wrote: >>Allow me to add "tastes like cough syrup". =:-) > >I'm with ya there...isn't that what it once was? Didn't they originally >advertise for the stuff as being a type of medicine? Well, they did advertise it as being "for your good health" but made no claims as to what it was good for. Dr. Pepper, on the other hand--unlike Coke, which never had that "special ingredient"--DID have prune juice in it and was originally marketted as a laxative. The old bottles have 10-2-4 on them, reminding one to drink it at 10 a.m., 2 and 4 p.m. for best effects. cee, font of trivia ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Aug 1998 01:18:59 GMT From: ceelove@ibm.net (Colleen Campbell) Subject: Re: A question to the group.

I don't know if the >band gets any money at all off the resale of a CD - can someone advise? I've blathered and rationalized on this in the fairly recent past, but: no, the band gets no money whatsoever from the resale of their CDs. I buy lots of used CDs, myself, but I make it a point of buying the CD from the band/artists if they're small/indie. I'd rather get the CD used than buy it full price from a major-chain store, because the band gets less than a dollar per CD from such a sale anyway (I've heard from 25 to 75 cents, except for Ani DiFranco, self-marketing genius girl, tho unintentionally, because she's retained control over her own work). Of course, when I see a Peter Mulvey CD for a dollar, I grab it, being pragmatic. I'll make it up to him by offering him a massage when I see him. *grin* In the case of Fruvous, I've never bought a used CD of theirs, but I've occasionally pondered over getting a used CD and giving it to a friend I'm trying to entice into Fruheadism. Then I realize all over again that that would be silly, make them a mix tape or drag them to a show and make them buy all the CD theirselfs. *smile* ceecee ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Aug 1998 03:36:18 GMT From: melissa Subject: Re: A question to the group. not only have i never bought a used MF cd, but ive never even SEEN one! and there are alot of used cd stores in boston. i guess when someone buys fruvous, they really mean it! i know i do! :) melissa ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Aug 1998 03:30:24 GMT From: melissa Subject: Re: moxie well, youre sorta right. it was advertised as a drink that would cure lots of illnesses. i saw an ad for it once [real old one] that said it would cure impotance and give you more energy. and it said something to the effect of "put a little moxie in you!" or something. so there you have it folks! the one of a kind drink thats better than viagra! although, it probably tastes alot worse. after a while they had to stop those ads when the government figured out that moxie didnt actually do anything. lousy bastards ruined all our fun! but they still have a cool slogan on a bright orange tshirt [reminds me of someone i know :)] that says "the man says drink moxie!" on the back. 2 of my friends have them, but they only sell em in maine [moxies home state] so i have yet to obtain one. but any day now when i get a lisense and a car and lots of free time and some money......... melissa NoraChica wrote: > >Allow me to add "tastes like cough syrup". =:-) > > I'm with ya there...isn't that what it once was?
