SEA completes the joke:
The next day the young man's brother applies for the job.  As he prepares
to demonstrate his abilities to the priest, the bell knocks him out of the
bell tower.  When the police officer arrives at the scene, the priest
says, "I'm sorry officer, I don't know his name but he's a dead ringer for
his brother."

Thyra, whose only clothing at the moment is a velvet choker and a sleek

her eyes glow mischieviously a moment, but she refrains from changing his

She takes his hand "Ok my drifty friend, drift over to the dance floor with

environment to do several moves that are impossible on land. "Wheee!" she
says as she sails over his head, behind his back, and back up to the front
between his legs, all the while staying in touch with at least one hand. 

They swirl around the floor gracefully, till Phillip has to surface again

I brought some king cake !  Now, how to explain what a king cake

can come to an explanation... It has colored sugar on it, in bands
of purple, gold, and green. The bands of sugar go width wise
on the cake. Somewhere in the cake is a 'babydoll.' Whoever finds
the babydoll, buys the king cake for the next party. Hmm, actually
its flatter than a donut, and varies in diameter by how many
people its for. This one has enough pieces for everyone that wants
one..." Linda.

  \ purple sugar and frosting\green sugar and frosting\gold\purple\

       Thats sort of a top-view, but it would be curved... Mardi
Gras goes from Twelfth Night until midnight on Fat Tuesday.
Fat Tuesday is the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. In New Orleans,
Louisana, the first parade is tonight. They continue until Fat
Tuesday night every weekend, and about a week before they are
every night. Not just one parade per day, but many parades.
The weekend before Fat Tuesday, there are parades during the
afternoon, two or five at night... Its party time ! Many Mardi
Gras clubs hold costume Balls and Dances.  Hmm. This Undersea/Ocean
New Year's Party would fit right in !    Jim.

"Y-e-e-a-a-h.  Right.  alt.callahans.pictures is a pretty good idea, I
think.  There's a long-standing net convention that large things like
pictures & source files go in groups specifically designated for them,
so that sites which don't have the storage for them don't have to deal
with them.

"Then again, disk storage has gotten pretty cheap.  Maybe the
convention is out of date and modest amounts of compressed graphics
would be ok.  Might be time to discuss it on one of the sysops
groups.  Also a good time to find out who can display color.  Hmmm."
