I do not recall any ground shaking mention of it. Yet, nobody has committed suicide over them. I don't mean to sound non committal about it, but the tour is a bit out of my way. So, I have not given it much thought. There are two shows in northern California, one in SF and one at some festival type setting in Grass Valley (I think). It must rate something to make it all the way out into the northern Sierra. Would I go if I lived closer?? Yes.

G'Day Fegpersons , Just finished restoring the dud pages in the Posse site, you should now find yourselves able to find out just what is a Feg, read reports form the 12 bar and Blabbab without repetition. I have also added a RH & Egyptians photo gallery which is chock full of digitized images from the Gotta Let This Hen Out video and a performance at the Town & Country Club ( I think ). Considering the stills come from 1st gen video they are pretty reasonable quality. I thought it would be good to have these up as a guide to the video's for those who have never seen them and for those without the access to the technology to get stills from these shows. Some of the links back to the main Robyn page don't work, one page is misnumbered , but I checked it all out this morning and everything else on these additions works . Ok , that's the web page business. No doubt there will be those who pooh pooh the warnings of myself, Fetter and Fane regarding the mortal danger in which we daily dwell . I refer of course to the moral crusade against the Quailspiracy and the endless fight to rid the world of this scourge. Considering the posse page is a repository of the thoughts and doings of the Great Quail and his countless helplessly enthralled Feglist members ,is it not strange that he has not so far responded to its existence? He of course will claim that modesty or pressures of work have prevented him from managing to peruse its contents to date, but I, the Quailfinder General and the other members of the Anti Quail commissariat of Friends Of Feg , have come to the conclusion that he is probably shitting himself in fear and loathing at the prospect of his "Great Plan to dominate the Fegiverse " being revealed to the denizens of the net. Either that, or more likely given his warped and twisted mindset ,he is AT THIS VERY MOMENT hunched over his terminal , whilst chuckling evilly , popping his knuckles with gusto and hatching evil plans to send our server into a fatal spasm OR to render all the RH graphics and text on the site into obscene cryptic hieroglyphics or binary representations of rutting Quails and Great Old Ones. Its already happening . Nat observed in a private post that she liked the Quail graphics . Nat , I DID NOT CREATE THEM MYSELF. They simply appeared one day and I have been unable to replace them . Teams of FOF technicians have worked ceaselessly to fix the problem , but to no avail, the original natty FOF emblem ( which featured EB wearing a striped T shirt bearing the legend ' Death to Tentacle Content' ) which once graced the pages has disappeared without trace and all attempts to reinstate it have proved futile. Indeed ,the original graphic has corrupted to such an extent that it now appears to sport an garbled image of Nyarlathotep doing something unmentionable to a giant Quailsloth. Fear not however all ye TRUE BELIEVERS, the Quail shall NOT prevail. We FOF 's are working tirelessly to make the server impregnable so that the truth will out. I am in direct contact with professor Fane, who promises more revelations to come of other , more dire and unmentionable plots directly attributable to the winged one. In addition the Grand Council hold regular seances in which we consult Carl Sagan and other prominent dead physicists ,astronomers, palm readers , crystal ball devotees and Tv entities as to our future actions . The battle of good against evil rages through the silent micro fibres of the net , but we need *you * to help spread the word, our attempts to commandeer all known URL's have so far not born fruit, so you must help, ask all your friends with web pages to add the link to the Posse page, so that we may yet defeat the dread Quail and save all Fegdom from immanent corruption and moral turpitude . You *can* make a difference , spread this link NOW, or if you have not read its contents, do so . http://210.8.25.3/sharkfiles Yours in dread and hope dave BTW Happy Quailday Nat , was this load of old rubbish silly enough ?Possibly not quite surreal , I promise to mention more tentacles next time. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 08:38:01 -0400 From: Natalie Jacobs Subject: -PB- FYI....

The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy was one of Scary Mary's contributions to the party; IIRC the exact album was _Cult of the Basement_.

(Feel free to > chime in here, Mary; I can't remember exactly what was said at the party.) i doubt you'll be able to find much by them except Big Planet Scarey (sic) Planet. no, there's also a compilation with a bright red cover that isn't bad but seems to have been chosen pretty much at random. i like Pat Fish, but he has written a lot of music that goes nowhere without quite enough style to make the journey worth it. if you find Distressed Gentlefolk, though, snap it up for the misnamed song "Nothing Special". and he's buddies with the more consistent Blue Aeroplanes, whose records are only a little less sparse these days, at least in America. a ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 11:21:01 -0700 From: Mark_Gloster@3com.com Subject: Quail and Me, the product of spew This started out by being a short, Glosteresque posting, but as time went by, I realized just how mutually exclusive those two concepts are. Suddenly it turned into an uncontrollable bilgegushing of volumes of violent nouns and verbose adjectives and vomiting verbs. I hope Robyn Hitchcock isn't really on the list and have to put up with this kind of schplchtluage. I've been in fegspace for some number of times the length that The Great Quail has, yet I was surprisingly correctly on the hook early in the quailspiracy as one of the dreamed-up minions. I will tell you that the most frightening aspect of belief systems is that upon the original germ of an idea or intention, they take on a life of its own. This was The Great One's biggest mistake/ legacy/undoing?- you decide. I am certain that he has been perfecting his intentions to make more perfect replicas of himself since "The Great Mistake," which occurred one day when he found his huge mind wandering about toast and vegemite with strips of shark meat. He saw a little page from a school yearbook from the future about some guy from the British Isles named James, who was desperately handsome, yet smart and kind. Yes, The Q had been reading about capricorns, chaos, and ctuhlu, because they all appeared in the same encyclopedia that he had been speedpecking earlier that day. The Quail guy had been up for several days, having traveled many miles to catch shows by a musical act that has a certain unmistakable beat that was later immortalized by eggs and frying pans and stupid dialog in anti-drug commercials. His Macintosh smiled at him as it started up. A slight wrinkle was appearing in the fabric of time. It was at this time that this Quail guy realized that he was not feeling well. He would only realize in hours that the feeling he was having was a month of morning sickness wrapped up in a moment. The moment before the birth of a very powerful, yet almost useless notion. He found himself driven by an uncontrollable need to scan an image of this person whom he did not know. He placed the yearbook page face down on the scanner. Just as he found what he thought to be the scanning menu, he accidentally hit the "create life" option from the Mac menus, and the light began to pass through the slight openning in the side of the scanner. I don't write this part to be rude, but it is what happenned. A bunch of bizzarre thoughts about sharks, guitars, tigers, monkeys, garlic, and white cake passed through his oversized cranium (especially for a bird!) at once, and was consumed by vomiting and unrestrained flatulence. A big rip appeared in the fabric of time (and probably the fabric of his shorts, which were on backwards at the time), one that was difficult up with which to sew later. The Quail, who soon to add "Great" to his silly name because of his inane mousing error, fainted from the violence which his body was undergoing. He awoke hours later. His small Mac was flashing a rare system message: "665: Congratulations! O Great One, you have now created life." In another time and another place, a very strange child with unimaginable, yet virtually useless powers was being born into a family of frighteningly normal parents and terrifyingly random other children. It would be many years until the now "Great" Quail would come face to text with his accidental, yet apalling offspring. Yes, I suppose that creating life theoretically could occur using a dos machine, but the offspring would have had significantly less character(s) potential (see the birth of the Floaters, DeBarge, and a thousand bands that are now trying to sound like Sound Garden.) Because of this result, this is not necessarily an endorsement of the Mac platform, but a reminder of what a dangerous thing technology can be in the wrong hands. The Great Quail, as he is now known, has created life similarly on many continents and incontinence, as he is know for his Quailspew far and wide. Many people who like him or don't were actually offwardly sprung by him. I have even been reading of late about his part in Area 51 and the black helicopters and viewing and listening devices implanted in our craniums. Luckily, in my case, I have turned the receptor inward toward my brain, which creates a sensory feedback loop experience, likened to a speed of light rollercoaster ride in a black hole, that would kill most weaker sorts, so I have little fear of being examined regularly. The Quail is my father in a strange way, not that he does much in any other fashion. I'm sure it's just as sickening for him as it is for me. It's kind of a Darth Vader kind of thing. Darth listened to the Grateful Dead. Luke listened to the Artist Formerly Known As Prince. But I'm not Luke. I'm more like his brother who they locked in the closet because he was like a cross between Peewee Herman, Flaming Carrot, and Mark Mothersbaugh, in a nutless gritty pesto sauce with white cake w/ buttercream frosting for afters- with hair like jeezis and a mind like a collander. I heard Beatles and Chicago filtered through a door whilst wasting my youth watching the Monkees and Banana Splits and Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp on a small TV in the closet and only getting out to play tackle football with or without pads and attend Bovine Elementary School in dreams that I would someday graduate from Bovine University and be able to play as a flanker and punter for the New York Jets. I was unprivy to the knowledge that one day on guitar I would become the Adrian Belew of dorsal- finned rubber ocean creatures with a voice as creamy as clotted cottage cheese and lyrical tendancies as beautiful as the finger paintings done disturbed DNA-damaged x-file children locked in some barracks under the Nevada Test site in someone's worst pizza dreams. But this is who I am. Warts, beautiful as they are, and all. I may someday have to take light sabre in hand to face The Great Quail, but now is not it. I don't think he is the perpetrator or follower of Evil as that of Great Chaos. Nevertheless, I don't understand his thinking in creating both Eb and Dave, but he's probably thinking many moves ahead. This whole thing may be very much out of hand, anyway. Maybe the opponents of the Quailspiracy should give up. It's up to the grand laws of chaos now. The Great Quail has left his Mark, and it is me. Be afraid. Be very afraid. - -Markg, the product of some revolting spew- and now you have some of it on you ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 15:02:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Aaron Mandel Subject: Re: wow On Sun, 27 Sep 1998, Ben wrote: > Also, on the subject of The Fall, I only have the above album and the > "A-Sides" album, any recommendations on where to go next? well, you should be guided by which parts of A-Sides you like best, but definitely get Palace Of Swords Reversed if you can find it, then ...Wonderful & Frightening... and Cerebral Caustic. a ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 15:07:44 -0500 From: "JH3" Subject: Re: Quail and Me, the product of spew Mark Gloster writes: >I may someday have to take light sabre in hand to face >The Great Quail, but now is not it. >...This whole thing may be very much out of hand, >anyway.

BTW, for the United States at least, the Grand Laws of Chaos are codified in 41 USC 345.78, or you can check out the original statute at 89 Stat.45, p.746. Apparently the penalties for violating them aren't all that bad. You have a choice between paying a stiff fine, or just having a stiff drink. I was thinking of violating a few tonight when I get home, though I might have to check with my lawyer first. (Coincidentally, my lawyer is also a Star Wars action figure.) John "Spew Up the Gazoo!"
