"Here's a couple of articles I tried to post last night, but /usr/spool/news
had filled up...so you'll see them here, concatenated together.  Apparently
this happens about twice a month...  I hope I didn't miss any articles as a
result."

Alfvaen nods.  "Nicole did something similar a little while ago, with oatmeal
chocolate-chip cookies.  She took the first batch out of the oven, put the
next batch in, and then tried one of the first batch...and said, "I forgot the
salt."  So we pulled out the second batch quick, while they were still soft
enough to mix back in...and so we mixed in some salt, and then some hot cookie
batter with melted chocolate chips.  So the first batch had no salt, and the
second looked like we'd mixed in cocoa..."

"Let's not forget a half wood-elf," Alfvaen says.  "And a few assorted fire
lizards."  Patrons notice Ronabadishi, Alfvaen's long-absent firelizard, pop
out of _between_ and land on his shoulder with a cheep.  "And, of course, a
type of grass.  Well, timothy's probably out in the barn right now.  (Does
the Place have a barn?  It does now.)  Just my personal contributions..."
