He made a major spread in the Austin Un-American Slantsman.

Good story! Apparently a UT Prof or someone put him up in
their house. I was going to track him down and see if was
interested in my homeless person cottage but I see he's covered.

Hey WER, we got a guest room! Feel like a change in latitude (to go with your change in attitude)?

It really isn't a change, I'm just
back to "normal".

Don't go "Normal" on me now, cowboy... I don't need another uproarious, calamitous (sp?) whack upside my big, round head.

Thomas, is your head THAT big and round, or are you exaggerating. AND, since it sounds like you and WER are on more than a virtual basis, whaddya say to giving him a big whack upside his own round head?!!? Sounds like he needs a beer and a new perspective -- you game?

To itemize:

1. Yes. In the fifth grade my nickname was "Watermelon Head."
2. Thus, no.
3. Yes, WER and I are.
4. Do it all the time... I just get black (and a few gray), curly hairs stuck all over my fist.
5. Yes, he does, but you're gonna have to help me. Do you know of any local sources for unflavored Lambics? Or when the next batch of Sam Adams Triple Bock's gonna be available?
6. Yes, I am. Oh, sorry, I thought you said "gamy."

Rev. Thomas, alt.* groups are unmoderated.

A group of Austin writers told Associated Press they intend to organize a rescue fund for Lars. I need the e-mail address of one of these writers. Or they can contact me at: . Thanks.
