The piper was careful to keep the irritation 298 out of his voice. He had a short rope wrapped around his waist with abouth a 299 five foot length extending bowstring-taught to the halter of a small calf who 300 was pulling with all her week-old might. Suddenly the calf shook her head and 301 ran towards the piper, gathering speed and slack as she shot past him. Both 302 ended at the same instant, nearly pulling the piper off his feet. The piper 303 sighed. The calf had pulled itself off it's feet and was laying on the grass, 304 glaring ferouciously at the world. The piper moved over and nudged the calf. 305 Sweetie refused to budge. The piper dragged her over to a tree and tied the 306 lead rope to a low branch, then stepped away to watch. Eventually, the calf 307 forgot her irritation, gathered her feet underneath herself, and got up. 308 All was peaceful until she moved to the end of the rope -- then the week-old 309 little beast put on a magnificent display of kicking, bucking, running, 310 pulnging, jumping and other acrobatics that had the piper whistling in ama- 311 zement. Her antics soon subsided, and she stood with a very little slack in 312 the lead rope, a picture of bovine disgust and resentment. The piper walked 313 over to her and placed his hand on her head. Immediately, she snapped all the 314 slack out of the rope and stood braced with all four feet, pulling on the rope 315 so hart that the halter nearly cut off her breathing. Checking to see that she 316 had not recieved any injury, the piper stepped back to let her continue her 317 lessons about ropes and trees. 318 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp 319 +--+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+--+-+--+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- 320 321 Mike, my man!

Zaphod, minding his own business, is suddenly struck in the back of his right head, knocking it off. His left 491 head mutters "og" and is promptly disconnected from the supporting shoulder. 492 Zaphods headless body drops to the floor, lifeless. His slayer raises his weapon and proclaims" "I am Vffn jhwt syn 493 Ivel Caesar!!! Just call me Vffn." And so it was, Zaphod Beeblebrox was dead. and good riddance.

Usually I can stay up until all hours of the 499 night, and not really be affected, but Saturday was another story. I think the missing VOL had something to 500 do with it, although I have no scientific proof. When the time comes for a rematch, I will be much more 501 prepared... 502 Voyeur : Well how was your first day of normal living, sleeping, and working? Not too tough on you I trust? Just 503 think, you'll have enough money to get a new computer and car in no time. But then what can I chide you 504 about? No more mazda jokes...what will I do? 505 NAPP goers : This Friday is the big day. What is the big time? 7:00pm? Does everyone have directions for getting there? 506 Let's all hope it doesn't rain this time. I don't know how many remember the last NAPP, but there was a tremendous 507 storm that dumped nearly an inch of rain that afternoon. For Portland, that is quite a bit for one day.

But even worse, the mother (who, due to 546 a MASSIVE oversight still possessed her HORNS!) had a rather strong objection 547 to anyone bothering the calf! 548 There I was staggering under the weight of the calf, while three other 549 people tried to keep the mother from "horning in". (Ouch, I cannot believe that 550 I actually SAID that)." 551 Ah yes, "the good old days".... 552 The apprentice paused and ordered a refills for piper and their friends 553 at the table. 554 "I do not know if this makes any difference, but the calf's sire was a 555 'Cimmental'(sp?). This may have had some effect oin its size." 556 ..............................the apprentice.................................... 557 @*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@* 558 MiG- 559 Thank you for dropping by today.
