I wish to take this opportunity to announce that, for this week only,
I am gay. There, that was poinless, wasn't it; I did my civic duty and it
will make no difference whatever.
The Paranoid Study Circle will have a round-table and brunch on thisweek's
reading:
Anatoli Rybakov, Fear, 1992; and
Robert C. Tucker, Stalin in Power: 1929-41, 1992.
How come, just please explain, why my copy of Fear is missing pp.313-342?
What don't they wnat me or anyone I'm telling about it to know? THERE CANNOT
BE AN ACCIDENT! as it says in the book. There never is any accident; Comrade
Stalin is out to get you, plotting aginst you, all the time. How he foundthe
time to plot against so many different and mutually hostile people at thesame
time is amazing but True, and if this happens too much more, they take away
our licence to be nuts.
First is psychologically more Real, possibly altogether too Real for
neophytes. The second proves that the stuff in the first happened; in this
case it's *necessary*. We got what "can't happen here"; and then we gotworse,
what can't even happen there.

Melanie Willis is my kind of person, but not being a card carrying woman I
wouldn't dare, it'd be blamed on testosterone. Now, then, when I'm told, "We
don't want Your Kind around here," what kind is that, Melanie Willis? First

is that?" this contributor naively queried. No response.
Years later, broken and bloody from accusations of Negativity and Enemy

Melanie Willis I leave behind, unbowed, holding aloft the flag of, what
Kind did you say that was?
Please Mealnie Willis, do include middle initial in next post, would be
overjoyed at the opportunity to get formal with you, perhaps even salute.
The semicolon was what clinched it. I, too, wore the Medallion of the
Great Semicolon, 10,000 year old symbol of Completion and Finality. Pl/1

what other languages expect to get programmed by such slobs fosses zebras

Subject: NOTE FROM THE OFFICE HEAD
In-Reply-To: note of 08/20/93 09:40
Lesser, there's no need to assert yourself; your power in this arena is
obvious to everyone. In fact, I think we should change this place from fnord
to fless. Fecklesser.
Yes, it is true, he has played some subtle mind games with me that are much
too complex for me to divulge at this time. But let me add that thisinvolves
more than just Lesser; Mr. Rollins too has exerted a strange power that I
still can't explain. I would like to know where he lives. Lesser will
understand.
And Foss, he's another one - all I want to know is: Who is he? And why doyou
all kowtow to him the way that you do?
As for the punctuation game, I think that this is something that we shouldlet
the commas and semicolons work out for themselves. Making them intosomething
they are not is a dangerous game. For example, look at the typical colon.
There are connotations there that could break up a perfectly good marriage.As
you can see: there are two parts to the colon, and only one part , to the
comma.Taken separately, the two parts of the colon become different,
very different, and in some contexts perhaps even incomprehensible.
Does that explain it for you? Ergo, I say, leave the commas alone. Find
phallic or Freudian or tonguian significance in things that are unique toyou
alone and not universally shared. The comma is a hard worker, a faithful
friend, and totally platonic.The comma does not know the tongue. The tongue
does not know the comma. The semicolon also is an innocuous and harmlessgramma
tical tool, not to be mistaken for the exclamation point, that can, as I haveo
ften found, be a little more exciting. But this is becoming too exacting,too
mentally taxing for me. I say, practice safe commas, use your semicolonswith
discretion, and don't hang up your lustful thoughts like dirty laundry inthe
fnord gallery. Did I really say that? Who gives a damn anyhow..

Ah yes, I've felt that way myself. Specifically, while Bill and I were
driving around the countryside near Auburn after saying, "Nah, we don't

Mr. Dickens lived.

I say Ergo as well. Also "Ogpu", "Flibbij", and "Fangtastic!"
Clearly, Melanie (luv that correct spelling), you have a bad case
of feeling that there are 2 when there is only one. Reductionist.
>The comma does not know the tongue.
This is a fine sentence, MW, ranking right up there with your earlier
contributions "He can wipe you out with one swing of his big, wide, purple
hips" and "The more you squirm the more they like it."
>Did I really say that? Who gives a damn anyhow. .

Dear Scott Lesser,
While chastened at the recollection of the frequency with which I have turnedto you for help with various paltry concerns of mine, I am emboldened by theprompt and generous nature of your assistance on those occasions to once againseek your favour.
As you no doubt know, I have long had a fervent urge to conform to thesparkling modes of this most learned society, most particularly throughbelabouring within myself an exactitude of ethos by which I may attain a meansof evaluating the correct Fnord Attitude. To this end, I proceed to my query:you recently submitted an outstanding piece, modest and delicate in detail yetprecise in its span of your subject, entitled "NOTE FROM THE OFFICE HEAD". Canyou tell me, was that article intended to be funny? If so, How Funny Was ItIntended To Be? Can you give it a ranking for the quality of its humor, say ona scale of 1-37, where Bret Harte would be at 5, Melanie Willis at (censored),C. William Anderson at the annual Mansion House Gala with a full dancecard andan increasing proximity to the liquor, and Henry Howard Powys at 37? If it wasintended to be Very funny, you will be glad to know that Oscar, our office boy,giggled merrily as he read your words over my shoulder.
Any information which you can provide may be faxed to the above address,together with a list, if you have one, of your most recent publications. Oscar,who is mentally deficient, will run down to the library during his lunchbreakand fetch them for me.
hoping this finds you as it leaves me,

Paul's fifth letter to the Corinthians is a fake, written by Paul Jr.
(although not necessarily an intentional forgery; misattribution possibly
caused by formatting problems, e.g. Paul, St., Jr. vs. St. Paul, Jr. etc.)
Roark, Howard, speaks of sanity; how dare he, especially since he made that

Dear Merciful Lee Dickens,
I admire you. Hours untold I have spent here in my dark cellar spellbound atthe cadence of your prose, marvelling quietly to myself, "cor, whaddapreposition!", or yelling across the room to Oscar, the office-boy, to note thesweet subtlety with which Mr Rollins has slid from the past historic into thesubjunctive. Profoundly moved as I read your recent tale of how you foughtthrough a blizzard to save your girlfriend from drowning and singlehandedlyapprehended the blighter who dared to hold up a coke machine on a dark highway,I swear I almost wept when the coastguard silently shook your hand at the end.
I've made to send you a little note of appreciation on many an occasion, butwas thwarted by the unwieldiness of your address. A straw-poll here in theoffice shows others share my difficulty; why, Oscar and I almost came to blowsthis morning, he insisting that it was "duck.adjutant.edu" while I was willingto wager a lunch on the hunch that it might be "audrey.duke.aubergine". Wetherefore respectfully suggest that it would be a great kindness if you were tochange your node -- ccvm.sunysb.edu has been a popular kip in the past -- inorder to facilitate the outpourings of your followers.

Instead of drugs and promiscuity, today's type now-a-go-go young person
thinks of nothing but marriage, modern-style. In fact, she's downright
conjugular in her thinking. Just ask M. Cheating. He knows (he does!),
but (woe to us!) he is currently incommunicable.
Much more outgoing and gregorian, however, is handsome Bill Anderson,
whom we call "CW" or "Old CW" or "Bill" or even simply "Anderson".
He's fun on a date, they say, and knows all the good parking places.
Ha ha, just kidding girls, he says he regards his body as a temple which
must not be defoliated. "Pure in biddy and mond, that's me!" says Our Pal.
Somewhat less available (lucky him!) is Dana "Do not fill or molest"
Rollins. A three-time debutante, Miss Dana says her favorite hobby
is "cruising" in her boyfriend's car. "I don't even know what kind of
car it is," giggles Dana. "Some kind of redneck muscle car."
For a walk on the wilder side, eligible young honeys should check out

Dirty girls? Say hello to naughty naughty Scotty!
Newcomer E.J. Fnord is a snappy dresser, but don't let that fool you.

The swindler who perpetrated this lame counterfeit must more minutely heed thefiner details of his craft: no son of Herbert G. McCecil would ever be such ashifty posturing pretentious frog as to use an apostrophe to denote possessionin a header. I refer the learned members of the jury to "PLEASE TELL ME I'MSPECIAL", 19th July 1993, forthwith.
Cecil Goddammed McCecil, peer of the realm.
