If I could magically fiddle with their haircuts for five minutes (not that they don't look fine, this is just for fun): I'd cut Rob's just to see what he'd look like; make Darren grow his again back to when it was long and curly; and give Ben back the hair he lost (not that he doesn't look fine anyway) and run my fingers through it.

Hey all! I'm still LMAO at the inadvertent chili thread I started here... Jay: As you know, I *love* chili -- I'll be happy to go out with you for dinner! Barbi: Actually, I *have* tried Cincinnati chili... Mmmmm Mmm Tasty! You've heard of that 9 year old girl who sand the National Anthem at all 30 MLB ballparks? Well, I want to go to every major American city and find the place that makes the best chili... Mmmmm Mmm Tasty! I just *looove* chili! I mean, even though I don't like red meat and I hate beans... there's just something about chili. I mean... It's just so good! *grin* Actually, as an addendum to my chili story... Mike was saying that he might make chili again sometime this week (Why? "Because it's so good!"). Anne: "Yeah... but remember that I don't like it, Sam I Am." Mike: "But what's not to like? Beef and beans... Everybody likes those!" Anne: "OK, big guy, how about a vegetarian?" Mike: "Well, you just tell them that it is all beans..." So now my husband is deluded enough to think that vegetarians just haven't learned to like the taste of meat... I think all that chili has affected his brain... Jordan: Thanks for the lesson on Aussie lingo! Now I can use the term "stubbies" without fear of using it incorrectly! Markus: You naughty, naughty Sinforosian! Implying in your post that men can usually get me to do anything they want me to do... What do you mean "It's not implying if it's true"? Just because I fell for your "Peanut butter is good for the skin" story doesn't mean I'd do anything just to please a guy... Well, OK, I guess it does. *grin* Matthew: I still owe you a letter! I haven't forgotten... = ) E: It's Monday! Which means that you will be writing a wonderful epistle to the RF later today which I will get to read tomorrow... To borrow a notion from our wondeful Eric... Joygasm! Favorite cheese: Monterey Jack Interesting sandwich spread: Cream Cheese and Grape Jelly on White Bread (a childhood favorite). It's good! I swear it! Don't knock it 'til ya try it!!! All: that shall be all for today... I am off to do some actual work! Very sincerely yours, - -Anne "Yeah, I mean aside from the cheating, we were a great couple. I mean that's what high school was about, algebra, bad lunch, and infidelity." ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 09:14:33 -0400 (EDT) From: Eric Patton Subject: The dreams... the DREAMS!!!! Okay, I think I've come as close as I ever want to be to being fully self-Illuminated. Last night, I didn't sleep a wink. Not because I was on anything, or whatnot, but I laid in my bed naked (just for those who wanted to know. ;> ) gripped by this psychotic, shamanistic, acid trip of a vision for five hours. I know I wasn't asleep because #1 I remeber it, and I never remember my dreams #2 I moved around and looked at the clock several times during the night and #3 my teddy bear Raskolnikov told me it was true. I don't really want to go into details, because it'd prove exactly how disturbed I am, and I like leaving that to be a guessing game. I will tell you this much, it was like a mix of The Adventures of Batman & Robin and the Schrodingers Cat trilogy. You haven't been freaked out until you've had the image of Tim Drake running around in the red, green, and yellow suit and actually hearing the voice in his head saying "YOU ARE GEORGE DORN." There was a bit of Bentent, actually. "Bad Idea" was the soundtrack. ;) Anyway, I'm gonna go to the store now and buy something to make me all better. Laters all! Hail Eris!

So Missing Persons backed out of our show. Those bastards! Guess Dale musta had a Playboy cover shoot to do or somethin' Oh well, @ least there's no pressure on us ta get ready anymore & we can just focus on the CD...which is gonna be amazing, I promise...you've simply no idea. Markus's Advice, pt. 867: If ya get kicked out of a bar, go to a different bar across the street; (a) ya never know whom you'll meet there & (b) the place might have a really cool balcony; besides, you can get good 'n' liquored up & then moon the place that threw you out to begin w/! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 09:50:12 -0600 From: "Erik C. Lyons" Subject: Holy Pianos! FL = aging man, losing thought processes, and well, pass the viagra... Anyway, I forgot to mention that I no longer to have to go to mum and pop's house to play their baby grand. While I didn't get a baby grand (would take up half my house), I did have a turn of luck and found someone who had a piano, didn't want it, and said, "you come get, it's YOURS!" done. SO BenFolk, next ConBENtion, look out for "crazy fingers Lyons" on the ivory keys in your local hotel piano bar...those at the Hyatt in Chicago know I need the piano in the house to practice when I get drunk... Um, Spence, uh, MUSIC TO KATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alrighty then. - -FL ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 11:08:27 -0600 From: "Erik C. Lyons" Subject: What the hell ?!?!? Here is a note, edited, which should have been received before my previous post this morning, which should have been received after this note, but all this got screwed up because I had my own note returned to me (more on that below)...All in all, I suck at administering my own maillist. ____________________________________________________ FL, posting on a Monday?? You have __GOT__ to be kidding..... Hey childuns. Listen up. Before you scroll to the bottom or throw me in the trash, I want to take this opportunity to announce a couple of things: 1. I will be leaving my job, so my EPA addy becomes history. You can always get in touch with me @ home until I post from my NEW addy at my NEW job....how exciting...whew. 2. Please remember that if you post from an address not listed with the RF, it will come to my owner address. I have too much mail to sift through, so I won't be sending it back to you. Also, you can't attach files, or post with that MULTI-mime crap or whatever the hell it is...(no background colors)...Just be plain and simple...This doesn't happen too often, but it DOES happen and you lads and lassies are so damn witty, it would be a shame not to see your writings. 3. Under NO circumstances can you have the word that you need to send to majordomo when you want to belong to a maillist. I can't even write it or my note will be returned (and ir did happen). The word starts with a "s" and ends in "e" and there are various other letters in the middle....get the drift? Kool. I knew most of went to school for one reason (right Anne? hockey???) Oh. and... 4. As this is my last day, I will continue to utilize all the nice equipment my office has to offer and scan a picture of baby Kate and put it on my webpage if you want to see. She really _is_ cute. On my MAIN MENU page I will have a KATE link. Trust me, you won't be able to miss it. But it is 9:30am right now and I have yet to scan the pic, so give me a couple hours... that's all for that. Now, check it. Someone mentioned they were going to PointFest on Saturday. Um, me too! Me and Mrs. FL are going for the weekend to StL. So, I look forward to many many many bands this weekend. Shoot me if you want, but I like Fuel, Stabbing Westward, and other bands like that also....So take that! Other than that, I don't have much to add. Except this: here in Springfield, there is this on-going debate about whether chili is spelled like that or with 2 LL's, chilli....I have actually seem fists thrown. I love you all. - -FL ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 09:08:12 -0700 From: Stacy Lynn Subject: I heard a song about monday when I woke up this morning. >lexie, livid is gonna go off. i have just organised >my lift down there and am wondering, should we get >together a gettogether? plus everyone loves south >australia. you guys have the cutest accent. plus >every chick i've ever met from SA is very attractive, >to say the lest. what can i say? i love sa.

Ok, that is the coolest thing. Wow, I feel all happy inside. =-) I play plenty of Australian music on my show too. I was going to play Neil Finn, but I was so pissed off cuz the CD wasn't in the case! Favorite cheese: well, where I work we have the best feta cheese salad in the entire world. Yum! And then I always eat this really great feta cheese salad at this restaurant called Frog N Firkin (try saying that 5 times fast!) where all of us die-hard members of KAMP go every wednesday night. I'm also a fan of the goat cheese and Brie. Bentent: Ben, Darren, and Robert are much nicer than the members of Blink 182. Just my opinion.

Since we are apparently psychic twins that live on opposite ends of the continental United States, I feel the heartfelt brotherly obligation to make this statement. ***MISSING PERSONS NO LONGER HAS MY RESPECT!!!!!*** Dammit, it's just rude to go around printing up all those tickets and then they just back out like that!! Tell you what.... 1. I'm 1/4 Italian. 2. I've got lots of piano wire. 3. I can track Dale down at the Playboy shoot inside of 48 hours. 4. Do the math. What I'm tryin' to tell you brotha', is that I can 'erase' these dolts for ya. TO THE REST OF YOU: My cheese of choice is baked brie and Bremner Wafers served with fresh fruit and a nice bottle of Stag's Leap Napa Valley Cabernet. Ah, how nice life in Sonoma would be....sigh..... FL--I swear on the dead souls of the chicken breasts that are now on my grill that I am at this very moment looking at the addressed sealed envelope with the Kate sheet music inside that I printed out from the computer for you. All I have to do is put the stamps on it. And congrats on getting the piano. Although it will pale in comparison to having your first child, a piano is the greatest stress reliever you can have in the house with the exception of... Well, let's not get into it. ATTENTION ALL RF'ers: Would any kind soul be willing to make me a totally random mix tape? I mean *totally* random!!! Just reach me personally. I'll do the same for you. I just want some samples of music that I have ignorantly shielded myself from the past six months or so. Thanks a ton in advance!

It's so annoying that it's enough to put you in an institution until the age of 50. Spencer "Yeah I'm uptight...you gotta *problem'* wid dat?!?!"
