Great news, gang. I've finally worked out the details for the next round of new member orientation, and its exciting! For all of you who have joined since Gail took over the list administration, this is an email to which you should pay close attention. (Sneaky grin spreads over his face) However, before I break you into the group officially, I thought you'd like to know something about the names you see posted here on the board from time to time. So here goes: ALLEN escaped from the Shady Rest Home for Wayward Coal Miners three years ago, and travels around in an RV taunting the WCM security team with emails from different spots around the globe. KALI, reportedly the youngest member of our group and clearly one of everyone's favorites, lives halfway up Mount Kilimanjaro and monitors bald eagle sightings for the National Audubon Society. KALI'S PARENTS have stopped using their real names on the board here because of KALI'S chosen profession. They now refer to themselves as Roscoe and Maude, and they spend most of their time seining rivers for gold in Battaloosca, Brazil. BARBARA of BARBEKAY fame is a comb-tooth tester for Acme Pocket Combs international. She's a favorite at reunions and barbecues for her ability to play "Amazing Grace" on a comb without accompaniment! HOPE is an interior line coach for the Oakland Raiders football team. LINDAS 1-5 are actually the same person. We recently learned this...but please, pretend not to notice. Its safer that way... Dd has spent the past seven years studying the bacteria on pond lilies and is presently writing a doctoral thesis on the subject. JIM AND SHARON are stars. You probably know them as Johnny Cash and June Carter. As they've grown older, though, they've had to consider moving: Seems they live near a commuter line, and everytime it rolls by, Jim breaks out in "I hear the train a-comin'..." Neighbors say its okay the first time, but after thirty times it gets old. GAIL, our illustrious group tender, is actually the Javelin-catching coach for the U.S. Olympic team. NELL is a professional cusser. NELL'S husband BEN, is an amateur cusser. more to follow...
