		The dark elf enters the Place.  His skin is the color
	midnight, and his hair that of silvery moonlight.  He is wearing
	a black sweater, gray t-shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers.
	His hair is done up in a French braid, tied up with black ribbon.

		"Hello.  Gosh, a lot sure can happen in a day or two
	(My server gathers up a lot of posts at once and sends them en
	masse).  Greetings to all who've come in.  Big hi to the Alien
	(first a Dalek, now an Alien; makes one wonder what comes next :)

		"I am having one problem.  I read Ruby Tuesday's story,
	but I don't get the punchline.  Judging from the followups, lots
	of others did, so I may be dense or not heard the original the
	pun is based on.  Until then, I will gladly get drinks for the
	author.

		"Jason, I did give you credit while performing 'Yellow
	Subroutine' at Arisia.  Fortunately, I'm not so hard up for
	material that I need to steal from others.  And, Muse willing,
	I won't even think of such a thing for as long as I write.

		"And, now, a big tip o the hat to Abner, who sent me
	a copy of my own parody.  Mail to Alfvaen is still bouncing,
	so here 'tis, with a few changes (version 1.1, still getting
	the bugs out).

		He's on rec.arts.comics.misc
		Alfvaen's on alt.music.tmbg
		Everyone wants to post like Alfvaen, except for one person
		One person!
		The evil opposite of Alfvaen, the anti-Alfvaen
		Anti-Alfvaen got no Alfvaen in 'im, lemme tell ya

		Ah, the writing Alfvaen
		The four-word Alfvaen

		Yeah, when newbies try to post, they don't want to
		post like Markian Gooley
		None of this alt.non-sequitor stuff
		They try for Alfvaen
		Alfvaen!
		'cause Alfvaen is a perfect poster
		We're all moving to a state of Alfvaenness
		Why do you think they call then LAN's, anyway?
