Meri "dont ask me why i'm merry, i was born this way ok" Jones... or.... Lindsey "Lolita" Claypool.... or..... Anna the polyester-pantsuit-wearing-sequin-loving-ex-toe-shaving-short-haired-hippy? or... wait, dont stop me now, i'm just getting on a roll... how about "the conjoined twins formerly known as anna and lindsey"? or, hang on, should that be "the anna and lindsey formerly known as conjoined twins"? or Meri "dont ask Bonnie why she's bonny, i was born this way ok" Jones? ok, ok seriously people....all jokes aside... (i use humour merely as a defence mechanism and to lighten dark situations, you understand) - i really think Tiffany's right and some positive thinking and appropriate action is required here, in the face of the obvious and tragic misfortune of our fellow list members. i suggest we start a trading tree of the infamous lost Dixie Diesels bootleg tape, now that we know into whose grimy hands it has fallen (and i can finally stop paying that damn expensive but useless PI who was on the case)... AND - here's an idea - we can donate all the zillions of dollars in proceeds we'd surely make by flogging the tape on the open market, to a fund for our poor unfortunate small-repairs comrades, who clearly have had such struggles to contend with in their lives... (i'm getting a little teary just thinking about the injustice and inhumanity of it all...). we can set up a foundation to be responsible for the funds, and we can name it in honour of the three brave souls who inspired its creation - how about this - the MAL Foundation. or maybe the LAM foundation. or the JCP foundation. wait, thats a dept store isnt it? what about the Very Meri Foundation? has a nice positive spin on it... hmmm.. ok, so we can work on a name... i'm open to suggestions, anyone? i would also like to propose that the first order of business for the foundation should be to take meri, anna and lindsey on a shopping spree - brand spankin new polyester pantsuits (with sequins of course) all round! i think we can all take some time to ponder our options here, and come to a suitable conclusion as to how we can best support and nurture our friends - no - our *family* they are. and familys are supposed to pull together in a crisis, so lets give them all our full backing as they struggle to come to terms with the turns their lives have taken, shall we? lets face it, you never know when *you* might become a freak just like them, and you'd want support too wouldnt you? well, alright then. btw anna and lindsey - i've *always* wanted to hear Shawn sing "Don't Piss on Peyote" so could you possibly make me a wav file of that? I dont think i can wait for a tape tree to get underway to hear that one... thanx guys!

Aha!, Lindsey and Anna, I have found you. Perhaps you should not have included in your resume that you were Shawn Colvin fans, because what with the worldwide web, it took me approximately 20 minutes to find you. I will have to see you both in court for breaking your contract with the Coney Island Circus Sideshow. My banner of Lindsey and Anna: Conjoined Twins was completed and our marketing was in place and largely paid for. I don't think I need to inform you what a letdown this is. And you have let down the cast. Howard the Human Lobster is beside himself. Koko the Killer Klown is on a tyrade. Helen Melon won't stop eating. And Penguin Boy claims to be on his way to Whidbey Island "to superglue them back together". Do you think it's easy running a sideshow? We had a contract Lindsey and Anna, and you are in breach of that contract. I have one idea: Meri stated: >Let's just say that when proclaim that >I'm a boy, I'm only telling half of the >story...

Because of this unfortunate twist of fate, my number one attraction: Baby Dee the Human Hermaphrodite is so despondant at the loss of the Peterson twins that he/she off to Florida.
