ok, this fraggle rock thing is making me (and i'msure a lot of you nuts). any questions - plesae go to the fraggle rock web site for. as for the taste of the doozers buildings - i'm sure they taste like radishes because that's what they are made from. the doozers livihood rests upon the fraggles eating their work. enough already. if you think it's twee or cute it's not. cuter things I've done in my sleep. if this is the first your hearing of a listee complains 'ccause everyone else I know who hates this schtuff just has all the people who post this boring and unrelated drivvel on their filter lists and those listees get sent to the trash - I do'nt have the convenience right how because my laptop is in for repairs. and enen tho I don't have to pay for each message like a lot of kids do - 277 messages in my inbox in something like 3 days is not a pretty sight.
sigh. stretch fingers out.
IN related to B&S news somewhat - I got my silkscreening stuff so we're on the road to cute t-shirtsville. If you have an idea for a listee shirt feel free to e-mail me - although the graphically inclined might do better to send tho attached .jpgs and .gifs to modsproject@yahoo.com. I can
them all up on my e-zine sight and those of you kids who are going to get involved with the project o any degree (even if it's just getting a t-shirt sent to you) - can vote. the local mall is having a sale on t-shirts for something like 3.50 or 3.70 so nows the time to get this together (plus my work for the semester has not yet piled on). the t-shirts i've seen that have been so cheap are youth sizes. I got a youth L - about a adultS - ie. if you got a stow college shirt in S - this isabout the same size./ I know they also have adult t-shirts - I think they are 5.50 or something, and youth XL. If loads of people want to get one I can ask the shop for a discount or even get it done at the printshop in town. SO that's basically it. alex - I have loads of good indie shirt cat-o-log places - tell me what you're looking for. and kids - the new Looper single comes out on my birthday - March 8th! woo hoo.
-t.e.r.i.,
Spatula9 - We're on the ball and we don't make you eat brie - interested in doin' a bit of the zine work - writer, ranter, colour-er, massage slaves - please e-mail teri@javanet.com and dutifully note your interests - positions already filled include: sending letters to rick astley on hair care advice, feeding my cat, erm, i mean , oo...

That was one of my favorite shows when I was younger! I always felt bad for the little guys who built the crystal things--those inconsiderate Fraggles. Does everyone remember the mean human/ogre-ish people who

wife. I was afraid to tell her b/c I didn't want to offend her, but fortunately we had a good sense of humor about it and would always sing "down in fraggle rock" when her parents visited. Okay. I'm done rambling now!

I keep saying this, and feel as if I have a handkerchief in my mouth, but the correct response when you're not happy about list content, is to (a) mail the person privately and with panache, and/or (b) mail me about it. Mailing the list just provokes responses on-list and no-one wants *another* re-run of that argument about what lists are about to happen ON the list - beware that it might get worse than endless re-runs of Fraggle Rock. Plus if someone mails me it makes me feel less of a meanie when I knock on the door and ask for the hifi to be turned down. Having said all that, the Fraggle Rock thing certainly left ME frazzled - it went on far too long for a lot of people on the list, and I expect you as good little list bunnies to spot that and let it lie a good few megabytes ago - as per the hopeful prods in the FAQ you received when you joined the list. No more fraggling please. I thank you.
