I have the tape back.  It's put out by Video Treasures, Inc., 2001
Glenn Parkway, Batavia, OH   45103.  No phone number on the box.
ISBN1-55529-701-3, if that helps.  The front is a very bright yellow
and has one of those big head, little body combo photo/drawing of Dan,
holding a golf club, a ball sitting next to a broken tee nearby, the
White House in the background.  There's a stick-on golf ball that has
'Includes "MURPHY BROWN" remarks' on the lower right corner.  Sides and
back are again a very bright yellow.  You can't miss this one on a
stack.

Well it seems that the main contributors to these threads, like Michael
Lurie and Jon Meyer (and their evil twins) have been pretty quiet lately.
And that, along with the continuing disappearance of our *real* subject,
has meant an almost total dearth of important activity here.

I would still make the comment that computer security at alleg.edu needs
strengthening, assuming that hasn't already happened. After all, how do
we know that you're really somebody named "J McComb", and not one of
Michael Lurie's seemingly endless manifestations?

I remember reading that it was something to do with the editorial page.
Maybe he occasionally wrote one of those anonymous editorials that infest 
most paper's idiotoral page.  They are usually, pompous and foolish, 
which is either why they are never signed, or possibly because they never 
are signed nobody cares that much about what they write there.  
Bloviating Anonymous editorial writer.  Maybe that's what attracted him 
to Indiana's Republican Kingmakers.  I think his articulate and polished 
poise would eminently suit him as an editorial writer.
  Maybe we'll luck out and he'll do a 5 minute radio spot like Reagan 
used to do in 1978 - 80.  Or write columns like Pat Buchanan.
Whutdaya think?

Pope Charles.   Anonymous Editorials, Bah!  If you guys can't be bothered 
to sign 'em, I can't be bothered to read 'em!

Wow, today I got a birthday card.  A little late, but that's allright,
I didn't tell a lot of people about it.  40 looms and...you know.

Anyway.  The front of the card says HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREETINGS, has a
convincing stat of a VP seal, and under that the words THE OFFICE OF
THE VICE-PRESIDENT.  The card is a tasteful black ink on white
background, with a blue half-inch border.  Very nice.

Inside, in terrible script, is this:

Best Wishes from Yur Friend -

D. Quail <crossed out>
D. Quale <crossed out>
D. Kiwhale <crossed out>

Dan


I've seen other Quayle cards as well.  Birthday, Xmas, lots of them.

Not too long ago, someone posted word that he had found a video tape about 30
minutes in length of some of Danbo's more memorable verbal flubs. This poster
(unfortunately I cannot recall the name) mentioned that he had found the tape
in a Kroger store.  Now I would absolutely *love* to acquire this tape, but I
have been unable to locate it anywhere here in Houston.  I have checked Kroger
stores and Blockbuster Video, with no luck.  So this is a call for help from
all of you Quayle Heads out there.  First, are there any of you here in Houston
who know where I might obtain such a tape locally?  Second, are there any of
you who know where it might be obtained through some mail-order house?

Yes! Danny has been seen. He, Marilyn, and their SS chaperones attended
a showing of "A Few Good Men" at a Washington theater Saturday night.

Also reported is that our beloved soon-to-be-ex Veep is planning to
write a memoir about his beleaguered four years in office (this should
be a good one; unfortunately, we can surmise it will be entirely ghost
written). Friends say it will be a highly personal narrative but not
a kiss-and-teller. A three-page outline (well, that should about sum
up Quayle's last four years!) is ready to be shopped around to publishers
after he leaves office.

That's all to the well and good, of course, but I wonder how many other of

Gee, I'm working here at THE university of Houston (*real* subtle plug,
there, eh? :) and I remember me very well, no matter what I may be doing.
We're all going to be captains of industry some day, you say?  What if some

entirely?  I can't speak for anyone but myself, of course, but I know I'd be

Yawn.  So what are you going to do?  Threaten anyone whose response isn't
sufficiently fulsome?  Sheesh.  Just when a few decent people from Allegheny
pop up, you have to try and do your best to undo their efforts...sounds like
you need to spend more time in class and less time trying to show how macho
you are.  Just my two cents' worth...

Karl, Athough I know that you are trying to help, Postings like this will  
not help. The fact is is that a few people at Allegheny have invaded this  
newsgroup, and that is OUR fault. Using bad language and abusive  
terminology is not correct, or productive. Apologies are neccesary. From  
us, and, I hope from the people on a.f.d.q. 

I'd like to express my apologies to people on this network. As you know  
before, somebody posted fraudulent posts using my name, and I tried to  
correct that by reposting. I was using a harsh tone at first, and that was  
not in the best interest of my goal; to correct the situation.

I have calmed down, and see that posting here, the way I did was not  
apropriate. Unfortunatedly, most of the bad stuff came from Meyers, not  
me.(For those of you who recall this tidbit.) 

My stance is that theSystem Administrator IS YOUNG and IS IN-EXPERIENED.  
He did, and has not acted quick enough, but DOES TRY. Unfortunatedly, The  
amount that you try, or how hard you do does not count for any of us in  
this world. 

Now that we have wasted an inordinate amount of time on Michael Lurie in a  
Dan Quayle newsgroup, I'd like the people of this newsgroup to change  
their abhorrent opinions of Allegheny. It IS a good school.

One last thing. I'd like to apologize for the seemingly obnoxious postings  
of standardized test scores. I was angry that people were questioning my  
intelligence and I took it out through the keyboard.


I hope that this little matter can finally be resolved.


Michael Lurie  Peace to all.

     In an article in the Washington Monthly (*), A. R. Amar and
V. Amar argue for independent election of the president and vice 
president.  I won't enumerate the authors' various arguments, but
followers of this group will certainly appreciate the opening
paragraph:

     "If George Bush's decision in 1988 to put Dan Quayle
     one cardiac arrest away from the presidency gave you
     heart palpitations of your own, you might wonder why
     our system does not inquire into the will of the voters
     when it comes to the bottom half of the national
     ticket.  After all, the way veeps are now chosen is an
     utter perversion of democracy:  None of _us_ asked
     Quayle to even come within shouting distance of the
     Oval Office, and the guy who did is the only one who
     wouldn't be around to endure a Quayle administration
     if it ever came to pass."

     I cherish the thought that if Bush and Quayle had been
reelected, our man Dan's one lasting legacy could well have been
a change in the way we pick our vice president.

Monthly_, 24:11 (November, 1992), pp. 22-24.

----------

     If I may make fun of the Alleged.u "Honor Code" (most of this
discussion has been mercifully killfiled, but a few fragments leaked
through), it seems to me that the H. C. has great potential to simplify
life.  The cashier need not ask for identification when students 
withdraw money from their deposit accounts.  The library lets students
take books freely, with no checking out--the Honor Code ensures that
all books get returned, and in a timely fashion.  Hell, they even have
no walls and doors on the bathrooms, as everyone simply agrees not to
peek! 

     The whole lurid episode reminds me of John Varley's great S.F. 
story "The Barbie Murders," describing a utopian colony wherein the
inhabitants strived, through surgical and other means, to become as 
much alike as possible.  Then one of the "Barbies," as they were called, 
turned out to be a serial murderer.  More serious than being a serial
flame poster, I admit, but the mind still sees the parallels to A.U.
