This was the station that introduced me to Moxy Fruvous. I believe the first song I heard was "The Gulf War Song" or "Darlington Darling" several yeas ago, and ever since then I have been hooked. Just last week I heard several Fruvous songs a day on WEBX. I went to the station this evening to see what happened, thinking the recent thunderstorms may have wiped out the transmitter. The place was deserted and dark. I fortuitously ran into someone going into the building. He told me that the station has been sold and that they will be changing their format to "contemporary rock". I guess that's the end of Fruvous on the airwaves in Champaign . At least I still have the newsgroup! - - Zack - -- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Aug 1999 00:35:38 +0000 From: "ellen p. buckley" Subject: Re: OT: Are vegetarians better lovers (you betcha, yah) > Gruneberg Veronica J wrote: > > > "I've heard the screams of the vegetables (fruits?) > > Watching their skins being peeled, > > Boiled and steamed with no mercy, > > How do you think that feels?" - Arrogant Worms hmm this post hasn't actually showed up on my server yet. *sigh* this is so cool. i might just have to check out the AW now. ;) one year for halloween, my friend EJ dressed up as, well,... as me. he had my then-SO steal a tie-dye from my drawer, wore it with some cutoffs and sandals and little round sunglasses (i don't dress like this at *all*, btw). the main prop, though, was the protest sign he carried, which read on one side: SALAD IS DEAD plants!! and on the other: VEGETABLES HAVE FEELINGS TOO! peas, (and carrots) ellen ****************************************** Airborne with nothing to land on... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Aug 1999 00:23:01 -0400 From: "Patrick J.

It will be moving out of Jeff Wasilko's home, into RoadRunner's main data center. This is a very good move for a server to make, since it'll end up at the center of one of the largest Internet backbones (RoadRunner does the cable Internet for MediaOne and Time/Warner), in a professionally maintained data center. But first you'll have to suffer a day or two without the list :) The server will go offline sometime Saturday morning, August 7th, and will probably come back late in the day on Sunday, August 8th (no guarantees, but this is the plan). During this time, the list's web site & archive will be inaccessible. Mail sent to the list while the server is down will *not* be lost, but it will be delayed and won't get distributed to subscribers until after the server comes back. People who read ammf as a newsgroup will not be affected in any away, except perhaps that on the day smoe.org comes back up, you may see a small flurry of one or two day old posts go through that have been waiting in email queues. -- Cos (Ofer Inbar) -- cos@leftbank.com cos@cs.brandeis.edu -- The Left Bank Operation -- lbo@leftbank.com http://www.leftbank.com/ "A distributed system is one in which I cannot get any work done because a machine I've never heard of is down" -- Leslie Lamport ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 04 Aug 1999 06:39:58 GMT From: CheesemonkeyGem Subject: Re: my humble paean to Fly >In fact, the only thing worse would be going from >Nuits to Authors. >Ugh!
