Yeah, but if the border people decide to hold stuff it can take forever. I don't know what the site says about orders, but you can always just assume that the "allow 6-8 weeks for delivery" rule is in effect - --Novac "It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is.

I've never been more than asked to verbally confirm my country of origin, and for a while there I was crossing the border at Niagara on a pretty regular basis... but then, customs officials in general seem to be too confused to actually question me about anything :) and on another note... will some kindly Canadian *please* send me the words to the Smarties song? I'm redesigning the package, and got "do you eat the red ones last" stuck in my head, without knowing where it goes from there! ____ \ /__ Caitlin Xantha Hazen \/ / caitlin@wayward-volvo.org \/ http://www.wayward-volvo.org/xanthe.html ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Aug 1998 09:53:07 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: Re: Is Jian gay?

Right, I remember the Smarties that you're talking about. They're more like Pez than M&M's. And there's a similar candy called Fizzies or something like that. They come in rolls of 10 or 15, and they're wrapped in clear plastic, so if you do it right, you can just slide 'em all into your mouth. Or divide them up by color and suck on 'em till your tongue hurts, the way you're *supposed* to! :-) I was confused at first, but then I caught on that they weren't talking about the American Smarties. I must say, I'm impressed by the Americans who knew the jingle! Melanie ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Aug 1998 09:58:39 -0500 From: Chad Maloney Subject: Re: Did I miss this?

Heck, it could get pretty interesting!! I can tell you that she isn't the Angel who was in Texas by way of Chicago, 'cause the Angel who was in Texas is now back in Chicago (she moved back last Saturday). And she isn't online yet, unless you know something that I don't.

I've only had one pet in my life, a gorgeous betta (sp?) fish--no, not Babel fish. I inherited him from my roomie, who let him go for a week without food and 6 weeks without changing his water, at which point, I took him away from said roomie. He was in really sorry condition then, as you can expect, and she hadn't even named him--but he had a lot of guts and would still attack any mirror you put up to his bowl. This was the year I got back from Scotland all giddy over having encountered Fruvous there, no other Fruheads (or even the term for them) in Alabama but me. (Yes, I was the only Alabamian Fruhead before I was the only Floridean Fruhead. Eventually I left others in my wake in both states, but that's another point entirely.) So, in the throes of Fruheadism and admiration for this little fish's chutzpah, I named him Moxy. He survived 4 moves and having Pepsi (not Diet Coke, Jian) poured in his bowl. Died of old age two years ago. cee, listening to Buffy Sainte-Marie (let's hear it for Canadian folk!) and wondering what a Fruvous cover of "Universal Soldier" would sound like. . . ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 05 Aug 1998 12:25:08 GMT From: dacilen@bu.edu (Vika Zafrin) Subject: Re: "chompin' off dave's head ..."

How about the comment >on MIT being "Geek Central" and its denizens "technocrats?" I >didn't get the impression that those were light-hearted remarks. Hmm. Maybe it's because I don't belong to the MIT group, but I did perceive those remarks as a joke, and the 7/31 comment seemed to me more an appreciation of the Fruhead contingent at MIT than putting down of them/you. The feeling that they (the MIT crowd) were appreciating it, too - cheering and joking and the like - strengthened the feeling that this banter was all in good faith. I *am* aware, though, that performers in general do sometimes take their jokes a bit too far, and hurt people in the process. The FruLads aren't angels, and so I don't hold them an exception to that rule. Though, I must say, they (and especially Jian) have been *very* aware and careful about what they say on stage. >I hope you can understand why some people might be rubbed the >wrong way by technophobic generalizations. Fruvous strikes me as... I don't know, as *non*-technophobic as it gets! They owe a LARGE part of their fan base to the power of the Internet, as it were. They read the newsgroup, and they have a website. Doesn't sound technophobic to me. *shrug* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vika [VEE-kah] Zafrin Patron Saint of Caffeine dacilen at bu dot edu aka Coffee Fru "You and your hula dance of culinary delight..." -ceecee ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #244 ********************************************
