Hey kids, I went to the archives and did something useful. You know what? It's a pretty fun place. While I was researching all the poetry parrots (to reduce renomination), I found poems going way back before I joined, and I even learned that Trousers once referred to himself as Stephen. Nothing like a little history lesson. I also found out that Jeepster has a neat-o magnetic poetry site at www.jeepster.co.uk/belleandsebastian/poetry/index.htm. Even if you haven't yet been nominated as Poetry Parrot, you can make your own poem, submit it, and become a celebrity! Anyway, the Monday Poem started way back in February, as far as I could tell. Contributors included Trousers (more than a few), Tim, Rob B, someone, Chris Leonard, and PJ Miller. Then the Monday Poem fizzled, until Charlotte resuscitated it in August. The most recent contributions (in order, and where you can find them) have been by: Charlotte..... 1998-month-08/0039.html PJ Miller..... 1998-month-08/0339.html Oon........... 1998-month-08/0425.html Genevieve..... 1998-month-08/0686.html Espadrille.... 1998-month-09/0011.html Debbie........ 1998-month-09/0203.html David Barker.. 1998-month-09/0467.html Megan......... 1998-month-09/0902.html Ronan......... 1998-month-09/0911.html Cal and Shawnie also contributed unofficial poems for our enjoyment. Joss Moorkens was nominated, but has not yet fulfilled his duty. You can find these poems by heading over to www.majordomo.net/sinister/hypermail/1998-month-xx/####.html. Please substitute xx for a month and #### for an actual number, or I will have to eat you. And Keith, you are ace for sending the FAQ out to everyone. Being nice goes such a long way in getting your point across. Love to everyone, Miss Erin ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
