Organization: Carnegie Mellon Computer Club

"Hello, all!"

John comes running into the room, waving at all, as he navigates his way first
over to the bar (to rescue a cherry coke from mike), and then over to the 
pile of junk that is 'his' table.  He'll clean it up, honest, just when
he has the time...

"Hello, again, all, especially to birthday ladies like the ever-beautiful
rowan and to the birthday boy who is, by the time you read this, maybe
all of a week old.  Ah, the miricle (pain:) of birth!"

John takes a deep breath, and sips his drink.

"Life, for me, is finally beginning to settle down.  For once, I'm not
going anywhere this weekend, so I can work on things here in town.  Like
cleaning my RL room, which, god help me, is a pigsty.  All bow down and
thank who- or what-ever runs the universe that my dad can't see it!"

John, however, only bows slightly while taking another drink.

"I'm still learning VMS, for those who were wondering, and the job is
still going on satisfacturally.  Last weekend was spent at Evecon where
I had a pleasant dinner with two other callahinians whose names escape
me at the moment, and where I nearly exausted myself having fun in general."

*sip*

"I've also just used a text editor to cut down the number of newsgroups
I'm subscribed to... apparently it's common for them to start you off
subscribed to *everything*!  Which doesn't quite work.  So, now that
I'm subscribed to a reasonable number of newsgroups, I can read this
one more often.  It's about #3 on the list, so it should work out."

John smiles, and takes another sip as george upends some water on him,
once again causing him to become a short, red headed chinese girl.  She
glares at george, who smiles. 

{last i checked, you're technicly underwater}

"Damn uppity cat."

   Actually,  that was good!  My two flights from Aus to England an back 
wern't to bad except for length (20 hours with 2 hours break!),  it was a
trip my Grandmother made a few years ago which takes the cake.

   The plane she was on had to be diverted due to a heart attack on board,
to (of all places)  Russia!  Now this turned a very long trip to an extra
long trip!  Delays due to snow and what have you she ended up 6 hours late!

   We'd all been as worried as can be!  She eventually made it safe,  but
VERY late!

Subject: A lurker emerges...
Keywords: intro, lurker, eggo, Capt. Nemo, Capt. Nemo??, you heard me!
Organization: eh?
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1993 00:45:24 GMT


A small patch of the fireplace blurs momentarily, and solidifies as a
colorless, odorless, soundless, everything-less *nothing*.  Anybody looking
gets a brief visual wrench which, depending on his/her/its ocular apparatus,
probably gives him/her/it an equally brief headache.  Imperceptibly, the
*nothing* shifts to black, edged with a polished brass rim.

Something emerges from the elegant relic.  A few of the patrons notice,
and a few of those duck.  But when the down settles, the emergent turns
out to be indistinct muttering:

"... get through, Captain Nemo?"
"Aye, ... did, I think...  Try it."
"Umm... what ... I say?"
"Whatever you want, blast you!  This is YOUR intro!"

A puff of breath is heard.  A puff of dust emerges.

Louder, and clearer:

"!!AHEM!!"

Much dust emerges.

More reasonably:

"Oh, ah, sorry folx.  Like the Captain said, this is my intro.  I've been
lurking for, oh, a long time.  Since just after He-Who-At-One-Time-Was-To-
Remain-Nameless (hi, Dirque!) came in and trashed the Place, actually.  I've
just recently ended a lengthy ABEND.  The new news reader still doesn't, so
my thanks to John and Grapevine for e-mailing a.c to a Friend of mine, a Lady
of your acquaintance (hallo, Lady!).  She let the Captain hook up a speaking-
tube so I could listen in.  Thanks also to yale (hi, Mom!) for the path the
other way.  It's a pretty long pipe, and I'm usually a bit behind in my
reading, so my responses may be a little out of sync.  I'll assume a roomful of
Virtual Time Lords can handl*-- Ouch!  OK, OK, Captain!  I'll get on with it!

"My name is in the header (no site.ghod, I), but here, s'il vous plait,
I will be known as 'Eggo'.  Captain Nemo is a convenient plot device;
I doubt you will be hearing any more of him as he has no significance."

"WHAT!?!"

"Well you don't.  Uh, can I borrow a dollar?"

*RATTLE RATTLE*
*rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrollllllllllllllllllllll*
*clink*

A Susan B. emerges.  ("Where'd you get that?"  "From you!"  "Oh...")
It bounces to the bar.

"Brandy and Kahlua, Mike.  Thanks.  Just throw it in the fireplace for me,
would you?"

Mike obligingly does so, in curiously slow motion, with a twist.
The glass obligingly sails slowly toward the hearth.  The contents
obligingly sail quickly into the tube.

"<GULP!>"

"To - uh, oh, er, ah -- well, I'll think of something..."

<<<CRASH!>>>
