OK, I've got more proof that this list is infiltrating my dreams. I didn't have another B&S dream, but did have one about stripping which must have been inspired by all the porn star posts. I'm a bit worried that soon my dreams will contain instructions like: "It is time to meet the other Sinisterians at the spaceship and return to our home planet. Please do not attempt to exit the spaceship while it is in motion or you will rock the ship and make everyone ill. Instead, contact Captain Honey privately for details on how to parachute back to Earth." So I was a stripper in the dream, except I wasn't _really_ a stripper, I was only doing it for a few hours so I could do some kind of investigation at the club. I remember that my intentions were good, but I don't remember what exactly they were. The music wasn't great, but I remember thinking I was pulling it off quite well (ha, no pun intended) and no one was suspecting a thing. But then I looked at some of the faces and started thinking, "Oh God, what if I see someone from work!?" Suddenly I was out of the strip club and playing in a band with my best friend from high school and a bunch of other people. Her cute younger brother was the singer and I had some ridiculous role like cymbal or tambourine player. (No offense to anyone dedicated to those instruments!) We played one song and were astonishingly good. Right then, when we were on the verge of stardom and having a mailing list dedicted to us ... my 15-pound cat jumped on my stomach, like he always does when things are getting good in my dreams. Grrrr. So, lots of May Orgy planning going on, oh sorry, I meant May Picnic planning. Keith wanted it to be more of an Event, so why not get Genevieve over so she and Tag can tie the knot publicly? Afterwards you can all get drunk and eat too much of every different kind of cake. ;-) As for the list life cycle stuff, the next step should be rebirth. HoneyPaul must nearly be ready to pop those enlightened list babies by now. - Scuffy Lee Smith, stripper/porn name PS.

And once Frederick seemed half asleep. "Are you dreaming, Frederick?" they asked reproachfully. But Frederick said, "Oh no, I am gathering words. For the winter days are long and many, and we'll run out of things to say." -- Leo Lionni, _Frederick_ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
