	Alright, alright, I concede, there is no shadow of doubt in any of the
cockles of my heart. And I concede to you, Chris, as well. Ohp! I just
noticed a shadow of doubt in the cockle that's sort of a bit to the left
and at the bottom...yes, that one. Hm, let me see...there, I've got it
now, my cockles are doubt-free.

	First of all, isn't Yul Brynner dead? Maybe what Andre saw was the
*GHOST* of Yul Brynner, who had recently become a large Gnashing
Kumquats fan. Sorry but I'm not sure if that's how one spells cumkwat,
but perhaps if I spell it differently every time I say it, sooner or
later I'll get it right.
	Anyway, as a little birdie told me, the rest of the band was at the
Cornelius show last night, except for Stuart M and ISOBEL! So perhaps
she also went back to help with "mixing"? All sorts of bad porn-like
mixing lines come to mind at the moment, but I'll spare you all from
those thoughts.

	Stevie's in there, you're right. They each take a verse, and if memory
serves me well it goes Stevie, Stuart, Isobel, and then all of them
together. 

	And finally, in honor of Robin's utterly amusing story, I present to
you an Ink Polaroid, written entirely with my nose, without the use of a
"backspace" or "delete" key:

	yyeere i am, my baccckji is huuuuunched ovfer anjhd my neckj hyurt6s.
obviouuskly i'm typinjg with  nhose,, but it iis p-ainfull so i'lol stop
now.

	Hm, not bad. Reminds me of when I was very very little and my parents
used to sit me in front of a typewriter, and tell me to type a letter to
my grandmother. Of course at this age, I couldn't spell, read, or write
without a typewriter, much less with one. But it was quite fun to go
banging away at those keys. After I was done, my parents would remove
the paper and try to find actual words that I had accidentally written.
I recall they were very amused once when I wrote something like "fart."
Now you see what I had to work with? It's no wonder I turned out like
this. It reminds me of the scenario where you sit an infinite number of
monkeys (not Monkees, note you, because there're only four of those) at
an infinite number of typewriters, eventually one will write one of the
great works of Shakespeare. Needless to say, I wrote no Shakespearian
plays, nor any sonnets.

	Hungry like the wolf,
