To my surprise, the backing track was 'Walking on Sunshine' by Katrina and the Waves. Kimberley seems to be doing well for himself - last year the Eurovision win, now a contract with Nestles. I don't suppose the songs of Robyn Hitchcock have ever featured in TV advertising. Or have they? 'I often dream of trains' would do to advertise a Virgin Rail train running 2 hours late; and you could certainly advertise suntan oil with 'Airscape'... - - Mike G. PS In the old days, Shredded Wheat was made by Welgar of Welwyn Garden City, and the ad was a sporty schoolboy, with a jingle "What makes him certain he'll always win throoo? Welgar Shredded Wheat!". After that it went to Nabisco - have they been taken over by Nestles?

This image is only visible by night. I saw it myself on the news. There's a clearly discernable oval on the wall with blotches within it, all rendered miraculously in the shades of the bricks that comprise the wall. Personally, I think it's a huge Quail egg.

I have frogs living both inside and outside the house. Chris and I counted six - a new record - when we sat by the pond after the other humans had left. I love frogs. The Quail amazed us by communing with them. I think he hypnotized some of the younger ones. The big elders eluded him, for now. HA, you forget the Quail was once a science teacher. This benign stuff is just a front!. he learnt that trick so it would be easier to dissect the poor little buggers . He probably did the same to the kids he taught before he inducted them into his fiend cult and persuaded them to do away with their parents and deed their goods and chattels over to him. I can just see him tut tutting away in the staffroom and nodding sagely to the head about their heinous crimes whilst all the time he would be chuckling fiendishly behind his bland facade knowing that it was just a matter of time before he would move on to higher things and greater world domination in the Big Apple, a turn of events that I for one have found very disturbing. Has anyone noticed that the stock market has taken a turn for the worse since the Quail moved to NYC ? Coincidence ?, I think not! Clintons fortunes have also taken a dive . The Quail has probably been feeding juicy tidbits to The Special prosecuter and the odious Mr Drudge as well as arranging the bombing of Sudan and Afganistan , unrest in Malaysia and the various Asian economies via his front as a drone in an advertising agency. He now sits in front of a terminal for the entire day! The possibilities for interference and the fomentation of global unrest are endless !!. His duplicity knows no bounds!!!! Yet one has to say . he's bloody good at doing a snow job. Alas poor Bayard, he has taken you in , hook, line and sinker. Oh woe!!!!. However there is now an antidote to his vile panderings . My setting up of the Posse page is a key part of the Friends Of Feg counterinsurgence policy. Masquerading as a showcase for the written noodlings of the absurd Surreal Posse, it is in fact our way of informing the world of the dread potential of this hideous global conspiracy .As such it will be promulgated through every major search engine using our hack proof 'Global Override ' software, which subsumes every other known URL in existence , So whatever search mechanism or topic one uses they will ALL lead directly to the QUAILSPIRACY PAGE on the Posse site. Thus the world will be alerted to the existence of the universal nature of the plan to destroy us all and the military can happily nuke the Quail out of the picture and put all that nice hardware to good use at long last. So B ,read Professor Fanes dire warnings on the Posse page and see the error of your ways .Cease this gushing propaganda for the fiend Quail and his minions, or I ( once again ) prophesise DOOM for the entire list, etc, etc, etc....... dave .

Good work, comrade Lang! Ah, the memories... I feel the long-awaited hour is nearly upon us, when we will begin our combined assault against THE TOWER, whatever that may be. Recall that the forest surrounding this diabolical place is awash is the eerie warblings of certain small misshapen birds. Both Miles and I now stand strong upon our glowing Julian Cope 12" picture discs, hovering safely a foot or so above the wet early morning British soil. Across the cliff-side moor, the other members of the Surreal Posse are gathering. Hastily pulled from new JanSport backpacks (the ones that we all received recently in the mail from an illegible New York City address), cones are brandished like talismans, their odd scribble drawings only hinting at the unique powers each possess. While it may just be a trick of the light, I believe LJ actually has a cone with a "sweetie" on top! I sigh, secure in my belief that the hands of fate may truly be on our side. Ah! Zelda is here too, clutching the wonderous, yet still unviewable (in the Virtual Cone Museum, that is) plastic tomato! Susan and Scary Mary, dazzlingly bedecked in what appears to be slick black leather, slide away towards the cliff edge, making a pathway for a small cloaked and hooded figure, a brilliant circular Thoth head adorning her back. While I can't quite see within the folds of the ancient looking robes, I choke back a cry of glee at the headless tin-foil Liam floating mystically in her upturned hand. The male continguent of the Posse stand ready behind this holy squad. I don't quite understand the tiny conglomeration of Dave, Hal and others, all adorned in the brashest tie-dye shirts I've ever seen, but I'm sure all will become evident in the days ahead. Bayard and woj take up the rear, handling expensive looking DAT recording equipment; Eddie is nearby, dancing twirling circles around the giant that is Lobsterman, spouting strange quotes filled with "fuck" and "dude". Terrence is clutching what appears to be a VHS copy of the Monkees "Head" movie (a tuft of Missouri hair spins at the mention). Danielle and James are already scouting out the dark brush at the edge of the clearing, he calling "Ki!" and she replying "Wi!", in hopes of not losing one another amid the smarmy vines and very out-of-place tropical vegetation. Chris Gross and Pathetic Doug are each toting two guitars apiece, one acoustic and one electric. A high-pitched sci-fi pszzzzz! fills the air as Nick, Sharkboy, and Russ make way for Tom Clark as he crests over the edge of the cliff atop a platinum s.t.a.r.c.a.r., a stunning hovercraft vehicle equiped with what looks to be six iMac workstations. Several fegs hastily hide the apples they were eating behind their backs. The sun is climbing higher into the clear morning sky as yet another band of fegs pours over the cliff face in some skewered version of D-Day. Mike Godwin, Capuchin, Gary Assassin, Ben, Ross... Miles points out Eb (in a yellow striped Denise Sharpe shirt) and Ken Sabatini (clutching his reissue of "The Diaries of Debbie Flosshilde") standing side by side! Oh my god...what tremendous powers this group might be capable of unleashing! Miles and I flash quick drude symbols and crouch down in preparation for the coming battle... The Tower of Quail beckons us onwards. - -- Mike Runion Cocoa, FL, USA ps. if this makes no sense, see dlang's Surreal Posse pages, particularly http://210.8.25.3/sharkfiles/not_another_cope_post.html /******************************************************************\ | VCM: http://www5.palmnet.net/~mrrunion/cones.htm | | Fegmaps: http://www5.palmnet.net/~mrrunion/fegmaps | | Spoken Word Tape: http://www5.palmnet.net/~mrrunion/wordtape.htm | \******************************************************************/ "Wait a minute.

All right! I knew that if I waited long enough, someone else would post an account of last weekend's Shenandoah Feg Fest. Now I can just play off Bayard's post instead of doing any real work myself. Anyway, the party was a lot of fun. As one of the leading public intellectuals of the early 80s would have said, I pity the Feg, I *pity* the Feg who didn't go to this party. * We got to see some beautiful scenery -- Bayard's dad has the View of the Gods from his deck -- enjoyed the country quiet, communed with nature and threw acorns at each other. * We had some great food, including LJ's chili and cone-bread, Mary's spice cake, the veggie-burgers and meaty-burgers that Bayard grilled, and some beer I helped carry in from the car. Oh, yeah, and an apple pie made by Muskrats. * We gave ourselves heat prostration in the hot tub while listening to music, including the Jazz Butchers and Future Sound of London (_Dead Cities_ probably kept a lot of poor bears and chipmunks from getting a full night's sleep). Sunday's music was mostly culled from Bayard's dad's collection and included Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and a couple of early country singers and Delta bluesmen whose names elude me right now. * I need hardly mention that Bayard gave us all copies of Robyn shows and his Robyn B-side collection. * And best of all, we got to hang out and talk. Bayard, Scary Mary, the Quail and LJ are all great people to spend time with. And seeing Bayard and his dad together convinced me that coolness is hereditary. (Gaia was a treat too; I don't get enough dog time nowadays.) On Thu, 24 Sep 1998, Bayard wrote: > Chris Gross, aka "Mr Big."

I was starting to wonder whether Key Bridge or the Arlington Memorial Bridge would be better to live under when I was rescued by a vacancy at the Bayard Catron Home for Wayward Fegs. However, just because I was desperate doesn't mean it's not a good place to live!

The Quail took in the mountaintop home, the indoor and outdoor frog habitats, the folk music, the dog named Gaia ... then we opened a kitchen cabinet and saw the granola breakfast cereal. At that point the Quail turned to Bayard and said, "Your dad is crunchy, isn't he?" > Gaia. My dad's black Lab. She was in 7th heaven!

Anyway, I finally developed a roll of film that includes several good shots from the Quail's FegFest in May, along with a group shot from Mt. Bayard.
