Welcome back from the grave. Your article stirred the ancient memories buried
deep in the swelling sinuses of the waning gray matter and out popped this
mini-tale.

Once, long ago (about ought '65) on a Sunday morning after several days of
debauchery me roomate arose to forage in the kitchen for summat ta eat. Upon
finding a box of raisins he popped a fistfull into his mouth, whereat he
discovered they'd been in that box in the cupboard for far longer than they'd
deserved. Sez he, "Ptooie! These damned things taste like dirty sneakers!"

From then on they've all been dirty sneakers to me, even the fresh ones. I
hate to find them in baked goods, especially when said baked goods provide no
evidence externally that raisins reside within. Give me stealth raisins and
die!

Ah! Another mini-tale surfaces. Me dad told about the time he sneaked into his
father's closet to see what was making the funny burbling noises, discovered a
vat of liquid, and took a taste. "Ptooie! Flies!" It turned out to be raisin
wine, but the image of dead flies competes with the image of dirty sneakers
when the subject of raisins comes up.

Wow! This is a great concept this homostasis or whatever, even if they
shouldn't be allowed to teach in schools.

So, hang on. I get it: People made aerosols to keep their armpits
smelling fresh. Then the aerosols zapped the ozone layer. Then the folks
get skin cancer and die. Then there are less armpits. So then there are
less aerosols and the Ozone layer has a happy face again. It's
brilliant!

It'd work better if those who used aerosols got skin cancer and those
who use a roll-on didn't. Maybe we should help uncle Chuck and put some
carcinogens in the spray.

Dear Readers,

I am just SHOCKED that such a thing still happens in so-called civilized
societies.  It was criminally negligent for the zoo not to have someone
posted outside the grounds to warn people that the lions were dangerous and
equally inconceivable that the zoo fences were so inadequate that people could
actually climb over them.  At the very least, they should have someone on
standby to inject the lion with a tranquilizer when things like this happen.

I don't understand why we need to have dangerous animals like lions in the
zoo anyway; wouldn't a rabbit be sufficient?  Even if there is a good reason
to have lions in the zoo, I think only qualified people, like zoologists,
should see them.  If people want to see a lion, they should fill out a form
beforehand and submit it to officials.  Then, after a sufficient cooling off
period, say 15 days, they should be allowed to view the lion from a respectable
distance if the officials so deem it.


Respectfully,

	Otis Pike-Brady, President
	Society for the Prevention of Lion Violence

So, here I was yesterday venturing out of JCMB into the Real World(tm).
The Real World greeted me with a 70mph soft breeze and enough water to
sink an oiltanker in, but this is not the peeve.

In the noise of the wind and the water, I hear, in the distance, a voice
screaming. Great! I think, the weather is getting the first victim. Even
if I don't have a camera with me, I rush to the source of the scream and
hope not to miss the scene.

While getting nearer, I realise that I know that voice, even if I still
can't understand the words. I get nearer. All of a sudden, in front of me
stands an old lady with a familiar face, screaming over the noise of the
breeze:

I'm sure parts were controlled by the Russian Empire.  Other parts were 
controlled by the German Empire ( the Sudetanland, which was the excuse
Hitler used ).  After WW2, the eastern european borders were shifted

be the first to tell you all how best to retaliate:

	1) he has ten megs of disk space allocated to him, including
personal files and e-mail.  Fill it.  Mail his message back to him,
along with a copy of Emily Postnews appended.  Once his disk space is
filled, new mail will cause overflows and it can only be fixed by an su.

	2) mail to postmaster@iastate.edu and tell him that this Babak
is incompetent and deserves castration.  You may be a bit more lenient,
but he deserves it anyway.  The postmaster is cool, but will take action.

	3) Uuencode all your executables and mail them to him.  Instant
fodder for the mailbox, and no effort required.

	4) Send me $10, since it costs money to fire up the combine, and
I'll take care of this idiot.

	5) Ignore him; his account will disappear anyway.  I'm sure of it.
