Hi all, Just a friendly note to let you know that exhibit #3 is now open for viewing at the Virtual Cone Museum (see URL below). This cone is brought to you by .chris and was purchased in Sacramento, CA. I've also enlarged the images somewhat (x1.5...though without increasing the resolution) so that you don't have to squint quite so hard, which may cause epileptic-like fits of speed blinking. Plus some of the smaller images are a bit more noticeable (though no clearer than before). Enjoy. For those of you that have contacted me, please keep the cones a'comin'. Mike (who must come up with some sort of new moniker since his name is one of the funnier ones on this list) Runion ;) P.S. Check out the cat with glasses on .chris' cone. Perhaps a suitable submission for Robyn-penned artwork to grace the t-shirts? What do you think? A bit of Figgy...a bit of Heliotrope?

I rushed over here to give him a good ass kicking, but upon bursting through the door, I realized that he is really nothing more than a pigeon sitting in front of a WebTV console. I quickly bludgeoned him to death with the sharp edge of a roll of Reynolds Wrap, and he has since ceased his incessant nonsensical chirping. Now that I have taken a moment to look around, I notice that his apartment is completely empty except for the WebTV sitting on the floor (easier for him to peck the keyboard I suppose), and a huge U2 "Rattle and Hum" poster. He also has a tiny refrigerator, but all it has in it is some Taco Bell hot sauce packets (mild). I'm getting out of here. This place is giving me the creeps. lj ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Jun 1997 19:54:43 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Re: The Diaries of....me! >I am writing to you from the- thankfully now silent- home of the Great >Quail.

A bit of Figgy...a bit of Heliotrope? or, perhaps the idea of a graphic on t-shirts should be taken from robyn himself. he has supplied us with a great deal of original clip art for the job and it would be more than robyn-related, it would be robyn-created. this may be a surprise to the man if he sees something that lloks like he could have drawn it, but can't remember where. plus, it would look far more dignified than something with a url in it (read..."yes, i am a computer geek. why do you ask?"). of course with this idea for shirts we could all get scooter and ride in holiday parades and build lodges in town and have secret initiation rule and otherwise act secretive without actually doing anything. over, .chris ------------------------------ From: Ross Overbury Date: Fri, 13 Jun 97 10:44:33 EDT Subject: The Quail Method "If you characature friends in your first novel they will be upset, but if you don't they will feel betrayed" - Mordecai Richler -- Ross Overbury Montreal, Quebec, Canada email: rosso@cn.ca ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Jun 97 09:13:00 -0800 From: Russ Reynolds Subject: new moniker for Mike Mike (who must come up with some sort of new moniker since his name is one of the funnier ones on this list) Runion ;) I vote for Mike "Long Train" Runion.

Scooters? Nah. I like those little mini cars the Shriners drive around - which leads me to another idea in the upcoming line of feg merchandise: The Feg Fez! excerpt from the "J. Buckyman" catalogue: "Walking the beaches of Wales. Barefoot. Sand between my toes. Flesh Mandalas floating in the ocean, providing target practice for the cormorants. High above, a lone black crow, hovering above me like a speck in someone's eye. He swoops. Rage in his eyes as he speeds toward me. But I am not frightened - for I am wearing my Feg Fez(tm). Finely crafted of velvet and onions, it is a welcome topper to any ensemble." I getting excited just thinking about it! -tc ******************************************* Tom Clark Apple Computer, Inc. tclark@apple.com http://www.netgate.net/~tclark "Cheez Whiz is not something you eat...
