And | since the rest of you can prattle on about 'The Pub With No Beer' endlessly, | allow me to indulge in a long, boring recap. | First, confirmed Ronald Reagan supporter and Thomas Dolby quoter Dawndalian | underlined support for the 'tacky fedora' stance. Then RODEISLRED declared | her love for me, and that feather-boa encased tease Heather Marie Propes | warned us to anticipate her after-breakfast entry, which then didn't appear | for another 24 hours. | Ever the maverick, shoe-fetishist Colleen Matan pushed the apple cart over and | asked is the glass half empty or half full by creating a contest within-a- | contest: "WHO IS JIMMY VAPOR?" | The gauntlet thrown down, Jason Greshes immediately entered the fray with a | passionate discourse on my sexual identity whose accuracy and gentle insight | reduced me to tears, although I must admit the "tainted prostitute" concept | caused the old thinking cap to tighten a bit. | New Kid On The Block Mr. Pleasant revealed certain not-altogether-unwanted | masochistic urges towards your host, and that eclectic 'Avolonian' Jas threw | us all off the ferris wheel by revealing he's been a fan of that Musique they | call Roxie back before Quentin Tarantino, MTV, and even time itself began. | Then that grandest, grooviest Pampliset of them all Bahi Para--BP to those who | love him, and who doesn't?--corrected my spelling, and 31 year old Dawne had a | baby, although by her own fevered admissions Mr Ferry does not--at this | time--appear to be the father. And dependable Old Shep himself Arnie gave two | thumbs way, way up to Ms Propes' Vapor-as-coyote concept. | A dark cloud began to hover over Contest #77 with Graham Howard's musings on | the aformentioned 'Pub With No Beer,' but Heather Marie Propes--in the | parlance of today's youth-- dropped da bomb with her odd melange of kareoke | and Beckett simply (although incorrectly) entitled "first contest | contestant!!!!!" I'm sure the results left you all as speechless as I was. | Get that tea off the burner, Heather! And the rest of you, in order to fully | understand the riddle-wrapped-inside-a-pampliset that is Heather Marie Propes, | I implore you--no, I DEMAND you head to her website (http://student- | www.uchicago.edu/users/asbuch/index.htm#hometop)--and immediately read 'Other | Uses For Naval (sp) Oranges.' There's an auteur at work here, and she doesn't | eat granola. | RODEISLRED then bonded with Ms Propes (Personal to Miss Red--'Hey, Baby do you | wanna go to the Roxy show with me?') and the ghosts of novelty rock past, | Lonnie Donegan and yes, Slim Dusty, turned the 'Pub With No Beer' brouhaha | another notch tighter and made us all wonder how many Avalonians are living | unattended in rest homes without benefit of cable TV. | The Heatherita/Dawndalian circle of love grew wide enough to encompass both | Tom Jones and Suzanne Sommers, and noted gossip columnist Liz Smith admitted | her own sexual fantasies concerning Mr. Ferry (In the words of M.R> Humphrey, | who would have thunk?). | And the 'Pub With No Beer' imbroglio rages on. | | That's how it stands at Midnight, the dawne of day three for Contest #77/78. | I'm sure you're all exhausted from the excitement, not to mention the sadism | of this letter--heh heh heh--but to paraphrase that beloved philosopher Slim | Dusty, is this a Contest With No Ferry? This is a COMPETITION, Ladies and | gentlemen--surely you didn't want me to take all those contest-inspiring | narcotics in vain? Where are the fucking REST of you? | | Thank you for your co-operation in this matter, | | The Howling Coyote, AKA Clint Eastwood, AKA God, AKA Love, AKA the | Anaphylactic Seizure, AKA Rooster Cogburn, AKA "the dude," AKA The Open Sore, | | JVapor7 | | | ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 05 May 1998 16:00:56 -0500 From: Will Frechette Subject: Re: [AVALON] Contest #77 (N)--First Recap JVapor7 wrote: > > My Fellow Avalonians, > Thank you for your co-operation in this matter, > > The Howling Coyote, AKA Clint Eastwood, AKA God, AKA Love, AKA the > Anaphylactic Seizure, AKA Rooster Cogburn, AKA "the dude," AKA The Open Sore, > > JVapor7 The open sore referance was smooth, who said that.
