(WAS: Re: YWGTTM: the book!) That's because he shrunk and is stuck inside his guitar. When I was sick last week, I had 4 dreams that I remember over the course of 3 days, 3 of them pertaining to Fruvous. My mother called from work and told me to take some aspirin. So I had a dream that I took aspirin. Then I'm inside my stomach and my white blood cells all roll their eyes and send a fleet to go kill the aspirin while the germs are cackling HEH, she took aspirin! So anyway, in a later dream, Murray shrunk and was about 2 inches tall, and got stuck in his bass and couldn't get out. And the guys couldn't find him and it was right before a concert. So they had to do it without him and they were all wicked upset. They were standing in the room after everyone left wondering where he was. They found him a day or two later, and Jian was holding him in his hand, and then he was afraid he'd drop him, so he put him down on a table. And they asked him how he shrank and Dave was like freaking out, saying Murray had scared them all half to death and they were gonna go to the police and stuff. Murray sat there and he's like I'm sorry! It wasn't my fault, I took some aspirin and then I shrank and fell into the guitar! And Dave starts laughing and he's like you expect us to believe THAT?! And Mike's like, uh, well, Dave...he is sort of..not normal sized..and we did sort of find him in the bass..And Dave was like oh, right. And Jian's like, okay, now how do we make him normal sized again then? Murray looks up and says to get normal sized again he needs to take Triaminic. So Dave and Mike go look for Triaminic and a small enough spoon and Jian stays with Murray, and Murr says it's a good thing he didn't shrink and get in Jian's drum or something, and Jian said yeah, it wouldn't be good if you got stuck in the tin whistle either. Murray comments that it's weird to be so little and he felt like a little kid again, looking up at a much bigger adult. Then Dave and Mike come back awhile later with a bottle of medicine and a little spoon, and Murray was growing back and then I woke up. I hope Murray didn't keep growing and get really big. Okay. I'm done:) - ---------> Ln ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2000 18:14:49 GMT From: Lisa Carpenter Subject: Re: OT: Sickness and Ricky Martin Woes (new test!) jeniffer aniston? i got jeniffer aniston too. i find this really strange that so many of us girls are getting jennifer aniston. prarieFrü ******************** and these were our words our words were our songs these songs are our prayers these prayers keep me strong and i still believe..... ******************** CheesemonkeyGem wrote: > I am please to announce that there is a celebrity > matchmaker quiz for the males :) > My brother is pumped cause he got Cameron Diaz! > > the link is: > http://www.emode.com/tests/celebrity_men.html > > enjoy! > > jen > > ===== > ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ > I stayed up all night playing poker with tarot cards. > I got a full house and four people died. > ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

They are wonderful photos, and it is so generous of Fran to share them with all of us. Thank you! If you haven't seen the original photos, check out http://www.flybyday.com. I also want to thank everyone who has been contributing to Fruvous Playground by adding questions to the trivia game, suggesting Fru Q's, submitting poems, and coming up with some really funny questions to Ask Dave's Head. Also, thanks to those of you who have tried the java games (Breakout and Moxy Sweeper) and given me feedback on changes to make. Some people have asked me for some quick stats. In the past 2 months (since the Playground has been up): - - Daves Head has been asked over 4,500 questions - - Over 4,400 trivia games have been played with over 250 trivia questions - - Almost 1,000 eCards have been sent - - Almost 100 haiku and limericks have been written - - 73 Fru Q's have been voted on (a new one each day or so) I don't have stats on the java games Breakout and Moxy Sweeper since they are a bit too new.
