Wheeee! The list of attendees keeps getting bigger! (Add Tom Clark, Mike Runion and Natalie! Another Ebbish "Wheeee!") And even those who cannot make it have asked to send in various stand-ins, from mixed tapes to Representational Totems. For instance, Eddie has offered send in twenty-thousand random mixed tapes with various pictures of the Cohen brothers glued all over the J-cards; Hal offered to mail me a version of the Dead covering "Dark Green Energy;" and Nick has already sent me a series of photographs for the mantlepiece, some of which (involving our squishy squid brethren) should make Newbie Chris Gross very happy. Speaking of which, notice who was conspicuously silent during that last "Name calling" thread? Not that I would, mind you, ever twist someone's name around at the expense of a cheap joke. 2. As far as Video-conferencing goes goes. . . . I have a 225 MHz PowerMac "Globster Model," but my modem is a snail at only 28.8, so I fear that audio and visual may be a bit susany. That would be the weak link in the chain -- like using a broome to do the job of an Overbury stick. I hope that this does not make anyone quail in indignation, but if anyone has any ideas, feel free to dolph them to me privately. 3. A small warning: I will be out of town Friday, but I will return early Saturday Morning. So those who are coming in from out of state, out of country, or out of time and mind, I can't really make it to airports, train stations, or penguin junctions until Saturday. However, feel free to stay the rest of the weekend: I have Monday off, and I don't mind any guests. (Except LJ. She gets to sleep on the porch, with only a Doctor Who scarf as a blanket and a ziplock bag of Taco Bell sauce packets as a pillow. Hmf. We quails have long memories.) 4. As far as those non-US folk who can't make it but want to be there in spirit: I have three stuffed platypi, which have agreed to take the place of James, Dave, and Danielle, and a Chinese dragon toy has said he would fill in for Jon Fetter. Alas, so far I have been unable to find a Spice Girl to fill in for Mike Godwin. . . .

A dark winter's night and fleets of empty coal trucks piloted by aggressive, caffeine-addled zombies usually amounted to a driving experience that made Space Mountain look tame. As I recall, Maryland had the wrecked cars on polls. Pennsylvania had dead gorillas staked out cruciform along the border. I've got to send my regrets for the big Quail egg-stravaganza. The joys of fatherhood are too great a lure at this point.

(drumroll please) I have a half-completed boardgame, - Fegmaniax! The Game! - in the process of construction! What I need, though, are Feg Cards. By this, I mean the sort of Monopoly like "You have won $20 in a beauty contest" ideas. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know asap. The sort of ideas I'm looking for are: * Visit Winchester to see if Pete is still in Shawford. Miss a turn * go back one space to avoid being run over by the cars she used to drive * you are the fiend! Keep this card and use it whenever you wish to send one other player of your choice directly to the shrine (the card must then be discarded) * you are confronted by the serpent at the gates of wisdom. One other player must ask you a robyn lyric question. If you get it right, have a free go. If not, miss a turn At the moment I'm limiting to Robyn stuff rather than any list stuff (so there will not be any Quail, Lindhurst, Dodge, Titanic or Penguin cards!).

The Queen of Eyes in Room 6 indicates that you're very fond of flies." "Why, yes, it's true. Often as a child I would put raw meat on the sidewalk so I could watch their merry shenanigans."

"They will never be accused of being the cleanest-sounding band in the world," he says, "but they do rock hard." (The guy who saw them works in the same office as me, so I was able to get an exact quote.) Their musical style is apparently bar-band punk. Their stage act features exaggerated white-trash outfits and a bassist who jumps into the audience and breathes fire. (Somehow the bassist's being a woman makes this sound even better to me.) My guess is that Nashville Pussy got their name from Ted Nugent's album _Great Gonzos_. During the live portion, he introduces the song "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" by saying "This is a love song ... this one goes out to all that Nashville pussy!" Not that I would own such a trashy album, of course..... - --Chris ______________________________________________________________________ Christopher Gross On the Internet, nobody knows I'm a dog. chrisg@gwu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Apr 1998 15:00:40 -0500 From: "Patrick L Welker" Subject: Hello Hello fellow Fegs!

FWIW: The other night I had this weird dream. My wife and I were at some zoo-like place and we went into one of the indoor display areas. After going past a few tanks of turtles and frogs and such, we came across a display of two QUAILS. I opened my mouth and pointed, uttering just an incoherent "ga..." before I realized that my wife would not really care anyway since she has no particular interest in my fegLIFE. Oh well, so we continued on. A few seconds later we passed a young couple who were clearly tripping heavily. They were giggling and totally wired - and British. She called out, "Tom?" I turned around and she said "It's NATALIE!" I assume this was Natalie Jacobs from Michigan. I was freaking out because we were right in front of the QUAILS, and when I pointed them out to her, their beaks fell off. I can't remember much else except Natalie's date was really weird.
