After I deliver my chocolate truffles, though. --Jaguar-- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 May 1995 14:03:49 EST From: "Aphrael" To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-vanyel.herald.co.uk Subject: OK, this is the last call...

Message-ID: <303F5C85090-+AT+-pub.sbu.edu> I'm really sorry if I offended anyone by spouting off like that. I never meant that there weren't any good English professors who respect sci-fi/fantasy - I'm sure there are - it's just that I've never been lucky enough to know them. I'm sorry... Anyway, I'm signing off from the list for summer - finals end tomorrow. I'll be back in August - or sooner, if I'm lucky. I'm trying to get an Internet (at least e-mail) hook-up for my own PC, but since I live out in the "wilds" of Cattaraugus County, N.Y., it's kinda hard to find one I can afford. :) Have a good summer! And see you later! God Bless, Jill Morrison "Kyshaia Idaeryn" P.S. Can I contribute some virtual chocolate-peanut-butter-cup cookies to the virtual tea party? Best recipe on Earth or Velgarth! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 May 1995 20:46:31 -0400 From: AnneS3832-+AT+-aol.com To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-vanyel.herald.co.uk Subject: Re: cats at Virtual Tea Party Message-ID: <950509204629_112969235-+AT+-aol.com> Hi all- You know, my Tabby and his feline cohorts don't mind the extras sharing the dish of cream, but the Parrot wants to remind you he is old enough to be rather tough, and not of the main course variety of bird. ::more tea, cocoa, coffee, capuchino (sp?), bubbly or can I get y'all anything from the virtual bar?:: Anne, who is enjoying this peaceful wee thread more than you can imagine as she works through 3 deadlines on stuff . . . . . annes3832-+AT+-aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 May 1995 11:51:22 +1000 (EST) From: Catherine A Murdoch To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-vanyel.herald.co.uk Subject: Re: cats at Virtual Tea Party Message-ID: Anne, Your parrot need not worry. Here in Australia we have a joke about parrots, specifically cockatoos. To cook cockatoo: Place cockatoo in cauldron of boiling water with three stones. Boil for 3 days. At the end of that time, throw away the parrot and eat the stones - they're a lot less tough. Anyway, I don't think Muffin (my feline) would go for parrot - particularly if the aforementioned parrot gave him a nip to teach him better manners. I will bring virtual mocca and banana muffins. -- -- Catherine Murdoch | Internet: ulcam-+AT+-dewey.newcastle.edu.au Auchmuty Library | Ph (intl+61+49) 217147 University of Newcastle, AUSTRALIA | Fax (intl+61+49) 215833 "If man could be crossed with a cat, it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 May 1995 23:04:51 -0400 From: AnneS3832-+AT+-aol.com To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-vanyel.herald.co.uk Subject: Re: cats at Virtual Tea Party Message-ID: <950509230444_113178306-+AT+-aol.com> Howdy! ::giggle:: the one time a cat tried to harm Abdhul, he grabbed the beasties tail and began dragging the screaming kitty into his cage, making insane giggling noises I did NOT teach him . . . . the cats all now respect him . . . . . if only the stoopid bird would NOT think my mouse was a delectable treat, I'd have him out 24 hours a day! -g- Anne annes3832-+AT+-aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 May 1995 02:37:40 -0700 From: harkerii-+AT+-ix.netcom.com (Charles J Edwards) To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-vanyel.herald.co.uk Ok, Subject: Re: MERCEDES-LACKEY digest 8 Message-ID: <199505100937.CAA27838-+AT+-ix2.ix.netcom.com> away from your computer for two measly days, and look what happens...) Re: Ummm, hi, ummm, is this mike on? Welcome to the list, oh, um [sounds of paper shuffling...] Jaguar. Do you know there are Doom patches for us Barney haters. Now, they just need one for them Morphin kids, and we're all set... Liz, here's what you need to do. Change the subject from "A bunch of things" to something else. Either that or try sweet-talking the computer. Who knows.... Anne, I'll bring the coffee for those who are planning on cruising the internet highway afterwards (no drinking and driving for anyone here. Please deposit your key(boards) at the door. You can have them back when you leave if you are sober ). Fresh ground Brothers coffee. Any flavor requests? About Fairy Tales, has anybody else read Tanith Lee's Red as Blood? Several of the best-loved childrens tales turned completely upside down. Truly bizarre. Re: Rollplaying. I play AD&D, Cyberpunk, IFGS (Live-Action D&D) and I am reading a new system called IMMORTAL (no, not Highlander, but close...). Has anybody had any experience with this system? I'd like to know how well it runs. Now that the summer is rolling around, my weekinds will be taken up with IFGS and the table-top gaming will go by the wayside until the snow starts falling again. Michael, Let me know about e-mail. I'd like to give it a try. Subject: Bonding (bondage? ) Iris, you were wondering about the bonding between Kaaral and the Firecat. Remember just after the weapons or whatever they were that killed Kaaral's mentor (I forget his name and the book is in another room, one with sleeping people in it). The cat saved Kaaral's life and afterwords was upset that the old man had died. He stated that he was sent to Kaaral, and that he had to choose him. I will have to wait until I can get the book to look up the exact wording, but it seemed to be pretty clear to me. -- ====================================================== = Sometimes I think I must have a Guardian Idiot. = = A little invisible spirit just behind my shoulder, = = looking out for me. = = ..... only he's an imbecile. = = Spider Robinson = ======================================================= ------------------------------ End of MERCEDES-LACKEY Digest 9 *******************************
