Subject: Tanais goes across the pond
Title: Tanais goes across the pond

Well, Tanais (with a fresh .sig as well) has decided to vist the USA 
in Mid February.

"Sadly I can only squeeze in two cities in the week or so I'll be 
there, but I'd *love* to see any Chicago Callahanians and San 
Francisco Callahanians that would like to see me.

"The dates? Oh.. yes... the dates" [shuffle shuffle] I haven't booked 
the plane flight yet (I haven't got any damn money yet), but I intend 
being In Chicago for the 13th February for four days and then On to 
San Fran for the weekend of the 18th or 19th.

"Mail me if you'd like to meet up...

"...and now for that new sig."

Starknight would offer a hug, but is unsure of the Dalek's reaction...  After

fireplace.

"He's a..." as Teddy decides that Joe is much to vertical and smacks him play-
fully, just behind the knees, producing a face-first hurtle into a handy
snowdrift. Joe rises, clearing his eyes, helped by Sab and Sterling.

Booka has decided to pair up with Lady and blindsides Joe again as he bends
over to scoop up a handful. She then joyfully throws snow around and gallops
off. Teddy is joyously leaping into the air, ignoring the crossfire and
attempting to grab every snowball that whizzes by him. Sab and Sterling have
decided to see what's under the snowdrift and are now dug in up to their
shoulders, investigating.

Joe sits up and tries to clear his glasses again.

The Grass house joke reminds me of one I know.
There was this little country that every year re-elected thier
king. (They liked him and wanted him to know how they felt.) It
was the custum that whenever a king was elected a new wooden
throne was made for him. The king being a sentimental sort didn't
want to get rid of his old thrones...each one had a years worth
of memories for him...so he had a HUGE hut built just to keep his
old thrones in. Well one night a guard heard a noise in the hut
and went in to investigate...and he tripped over the doorseal
when he stepped in with the torch. Sure enough the place went up
instantly and the embers set the nearby huts on fire also. Soon
the whole village was destroyed and the people had to move away
to less fertile lands.
 The Moral:...ah heck...you know it already....People in Grass
Houses shouldn't Stow thrones.
 (Now we have TWO stories for that moral)

I know a few people who've had their hair "pinked"... My friend 
Carolyn Wonderland had her hair dyed BRIGHT pink/purple. I remember when I
first saw it : she had just gotten in from waitressing at 4 or 5 in the 
morning. The only thing I could say was "TURN DOWN YOUR HAIR!" I honestly
could read by it!
Also, Sue-bob Jackson of the Bi-Peds had her hair done in kind of a layered
effect. She has the original brown going down most of the strand, with an
inch of blonde, then the last inch is the same pink/purple. I have to admit,
for all my "it's just dead cells, guys" - it looks good on them... 

Wait for a while, and then see what you think.
