I'm surprised nobody else has challenged this statement yet! After all, invading Russia, sacking Rommel, and holding back his Panzer divisions on D-Day weren't the only bone-headed things ol' Adolf ever did. There's plenty of anecdotal evidence that he *consistently* served red wine with seafood, didn't tear up direct-mail credit card offers before throwing them away, and generally failed to make the proper grammatical distinctions between "who", "whom," "which," and "that." And putting aside the obvious moral/karmic implications, let's face it - if you really must try to ruthlessly exterminate an entire ethno-religious group, wouldn't it be smarter to wait until *after* you've achieved total world domination? HELLO!?! There was also some scuttlebutt that Mein Kampf was actually ghost-written by English author-turned-film-critic Graham Greene, as a quote-unquote "practical joke" during one of his many week- long Bavarian beer-binge holidays. But that's just a rumor... OTOH, I guess I was wrong about Robyn leaving Warner's! Good for him.

Just when you thought your old unca' nick had finally succumbed to senility, lethargy or stupidity - or some combination of the three - here's the mega update that most of you have given up waiting for... More Photos!! Now totaling 139 -- **59 NEW**! More Fegs!! Over **94** different and unique Fegs now pictured! (how soon to 100??) More Stupid javascript tricks. More Full-text searchable descriptions, captions and stories More Wacky cone-navigation ...and still no damn hit counter BIG THANKS to everyone who sent me pictures of recent Feg-gatherings. Without you this site would be a big white space. Keep 'em coming! I PROMISE to update things on a more regular basis if you do. A COMPETITION? PRIZES? BRIBERY? ...YOU BET! Y'know, it's taken me so long to finish this update that I no longer recognize everybody in these pictures - or sometimes even where the pictures were taken or who sent them. If you can correct a name, eliminate one of those ominous "?"s or give me useful info, gossip or a cool caption - you could win fabulous prizes. "What prizes?", I hear you ask. Don't get too excited, it won't be a car (or even a garden spade). It will however be a trinket of such suitability and style that you will willingly display it to your fellow Fegs next time you meet. I can say no more.

A Fegfotos Update! And truly a great update, too! My cone-hat is off to Nick. BTW, I'd like to point out to everyone that, in addition to photos of recent events, Nick has added numerous new photos from old events. In fact, you all should go back to page one and start looking at every single photo, to make sure you don't miss any.

Gid was a DJ on Greater London Radio. A now defunct BBC local radio station. It now doesn't play music and is called London Live and is of course shit. That's progress for you. In defence of the BBC, the change hasn't had *that* much of an effect. Yes, it was better before, but it *does* still play music... in fact it was only on Wednesday that I turned on the car radio and heard Oceanside. Something that *is* terrible - the advert for London Live that now seems to precede every episode of Eastenders. Horrible.

Didjaallmissme? Okay, probably didn't notice I was gone. Since we all last chatted, here are some of the events which transpired- arranged alphabetically by height: Randi came to Aptos to chill with the homies in my crib. Um. Did I say that right? Small feg get-togethers occurred. My washing machine broke. We went up to Portland to exchange Randi for compact discs and mini discs. My sincerest apologies to Michael(s) and John for our short duration in P'land- we wanted to go down the coast before we ran out of energy. We weren't completely successful, but we think the Bandon area is really cool. It was great meeting Natalie and getting to know Jeme and Viv better. They actually don't argue all the time. We got back Tuesday night. Yesterday I bought a washing machine. They are supposed to deliver it today. I expect that there are more feggy gatherings in the near future, since some concerts will be here soon and some amount of feggery will be visiting and Randi will be back down here again before long. Jon, Bayard, Quail&bunnygirl, and probably several more of you are owed various things and emails from me. I may be in a constant state of disarray and not know where my car is parked or even know where my keys are, but I haven't forgotten you.

Simchik" Subject: Robyn, San Francisco, June 21 Hi, fegs, I've only been in the Bay Area a couple of weeks so certain things take a while to dawn on me. Things like: I now live near a real city! Real concerts happen in real cities! And: Robyn Hitchcock concerts happen in real cities! So I stopped by the fegmania page and lo and behold: Robyn and Grant Lee Buffalo, June 21. Well, well, well. Question is: why does the link to Great American Music Hall suggest that this is Musicians for Medical Marijuana instead? What gives? Will Robyn be there or won't he? And will any fegs I haven't met (i.e.: all of them) be there as well? Drew P.S. Hi, again, by the way. P.P.S. _A Star for Bram_ totally kicks ass!!! It rulez! P.P.P.S. Overflowing thanks to the individual -- memory fading... Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do -- who set me onto _Now I'm a Cowboy_ by the Auteurs. I picked it up for $2 in a Palo Alto record shop and it's one of the best fsckin' albums I've ever heard. ===== Andrew D.
