- The dark elf emerges from a dark corner.
-
- "Hi. I've been lurking for a while, but I figured
- I'd pop up again and get sociable.
-
- "In January, the Arisia convention is happening in
- Boston. Along with the other con things I'll be doing, I've
- been asked to be part of a panel, called 'Filk and the SCA.'
- This is it, folks, I've hit the big time at last. Fame.
- Fortune. A lifetime of ease and indolence, mine for the taking.
- Bwa-ha-ha-huh? Oh, sorry, I slipped into a minor delusion of
- grandeur. It won't happen again.
-
- "Anyway, I can e-mail you info about Arisia if you'd
- like. If you'd like to meet there, we can probably arrange
- times and places.
-
- "And, to finish off, two atrocious puns I came across
- recently. First, it seems that some thieves have stolen some
- toilets from Scotland Yard. Police are looking for clues. But
- for now, they have nothing to go on.
-
- "Secondly, I've heard that stamp collectors aren't
- getting as much money as they used to for rare stamps. So in this
- case, philately will get you nowhere.
-
- "The first one is from Saturday Night Live, November
- 14, 1992. The second is from a talk.bizarre post by Ken Johnson.
-
- "Hope you enjoy."

- Michael, the Chaotic
- disclaimer: yeah, my employers'll back me up on any opinions
- I post...and monkeys might fly outta my butt
