The desk clerk smiled as Parity reached for 30 his wallet and handed over two twenties and a one-spot. 31 "Keep the change." smiled the agent. 32 "Oh no sir, this could be your lucky dime. You ought to try it in one of 33 our slot machines." returned the clerk. 34 "Come on Parity," continued Fellows, standing behind Parity and carrying 35 the CD/ROM case, "give it a try. One never knows, does one?" 36 "Of course, 'one' never knows. Sure I'll take the dime. Thank you very 37 much for your kind service." 38 "My pleasure. I hope you enjoy your stay at the Westward Ho." 39 40 "Slot machines, eh? What a colossal waste of money Fellows. Do you 41 realize the chances of winning anything are..." 42 "Astronomical Parity. Which is precisely why you should try. Hey, what's 43 one stinkin' dime anyway?" 44 Parity shrugged. "OK, lead the way, oh gambler of the west." 45 46 The two agents walked past one set of slot machines. "What about these?" 47 Parity asked. 48 "No, not yet. We want the slots on the other side of the casino. They 49 recently redid this place you know. It's at least three times as big as it 50 used to be." 51 "Now wait a minute Fellows. I thought you hadn't been here in awhile. On 52 the plane you said..." 53 "On the plane I said I hadn't tried to fill an inside straight in awhile, 54 I never said anything about other forms of easy money." 55 "Easy money? Fellows, I think we need to have a talk. This gam..." 56 "Not now OK? Besides, I want a drink." 57 58 Parity could not believe his eyes. Sitting in the middle of the casino 59 was a large fountain. Champagne instead of water flowed through its intricate 60 works. Dipping glasses were neatly arranged on a white linen-covered table 61 next to the fountain. 62 "Partake Parity!" Fellows motioned towards the fountain. Parity obliged, 63 got a glass, dipped it in the fountain, swirled the champagne in the glass 64 the prescribed amount, and took a sip. 65 "Well? How it is? Never thought champagne from a fountain could taste 66 so good?" By this time, Fellows had also readied a glass and was now drinking. 67 "Hmmm." Parity wrinkled up his noes and took another sip. "Oh, it IS 68 passable, just not up to what I'm used to. But rest assured it is the best 69 champagne I've ever had from a fountain. Leave it to Las Vegas to have such 70 a contraption." 71 "Come on, the slots are over this way, next to CA-fae." Fellows took 72 Parity by the arm and pulled him along. While walking, Parity spied one of 73 the many high-stakes blackjack tables. 74 Blackjack, Parity thought to himself. 75 76 "Finally, here we are." Twenty slot machines lined the wall just outside 77 the entrance to the main casino. A fancy eatery, CA-fae, complete with 78 latticed walls, attractive tilework, ceiling fans, and lots of ferns stood 79 to the left of the slot machines. 80 "After you spend your dime, we'll go get something to eat." 81 Parity picked a machine that was not occupied, gave the sack containing 82 Ian's belongings to Fellows, rubbed his hands together, put the dime in the 83 slot, and pulled the handle. The machine displayed the message "Easy Come, 84 Easy Go" on its electronic screen for just a second, then the digital wheels 85 began to spin. 86 .......... 87 "Sorry Parity, you lost." Fellows grinned. 88 "So did Ian, Fellows. Listen, I know what you are trying to do. But I don't 89 need it. We have to report in. We have to find out what happened to Ian. We 90 have to find out what happened. We have to get into that bloody ROM case. This 91 little excursion through casino gambling land is just wasting time!" 92 Fellows could see by the look on Parity's face that he was serious. "Sorry 93 Parity. I was just trying to..." 94 "I know that. And I'm sorry to for blowing up. But we have business to do, 95 and time wasted is time lost." Fellows gave back the sack to Parity. 96 "To the room then Parity? We can have room service send something up." 97 "Sure, that sounds fine. Then we can crank up the COMSET and send a 98 message to HQ. This is a gawd-awful message to send too." 99 "I know Parity. I know." 100 101 7e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e17e1 102 ch /noes/nose/ <- the nose usually knows. 103 They're taking over!!! 104 [O O] -- lurkin' 9-10-86 14:21:55 105 ____06/10/86__________________JD 2446592.6574_________19:46:39_____________ 106 ::::::::O O:::::::06/10:::::::::voyeur::::::::::::22:29::::::::O O::::::::::::: 107 108 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 109 PaPa Smurf is Dead 110 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 111 It was a cold dark night when reality finally caught up with the individual. 112 Many things were thought that night, many dark and un speakable items were 113 exchanged in the darkened house.

Three years later, time seemed to be a menace. "How 139 old I feel" was the theme of the day. 140 Now another year has passed and the grimace of the twisting 141 calendar digs yet another notch into the ego. I too feel the 142 passage though I am not at the same point, yet, towards the next 143 septade. 144 Those in cahrge run the risk of disdainment. Many shall 145 remember the times and the efforts expended with satisfaction; I 146 know I shall. If my companion, the indigo canine, could but 147 speak he would recount none but the joyous times. (Even though 148 the companion had been absconded with, that was a joyous time as 149 well.) 150 Resentments have long since past. Say hello to my Queen's 151 father, the Colonel... Or any of her sisters. Her name is 152 missed, although her name here is always missed - even if not 153 the same in person... 154 ------------------------------You know me for who I am---------- 155 156 ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp 157 Sometimes grief leaves us rather numb -- with the emotional equivalent 158 of the pins and needles feeling that sitting too long in one position 159 gives a leg. Right now I'm in that kind of a condition, missing a kind 160 and beautiful friend from a previous part of my life. She was always 161 kind and cheerful, even when she was filled with pain she held it back, 162 not wanting to inflict it on others. The operation helped for a while-- 163 she submitted to the indignity of the little bag with resignation, but 164 you could tell it wasn't easy. Somewhere, somehow, a few marauding 165 rebel cells were missed by the knife. Deep within her they flourished 166 and grew, a grim travesty of life that gradually leached her life away 167 leaving a nearly transparent husk. She did not die in a hospital. She 168 chose to go home, surrounded by family and friends, to breath her last 169 in air free of disinfectants. She's gone now. There's an odd shape 170 hole in my heart, and my eyes are finally blurring with the tardy 171 tears that have hesitated so long. 172 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp 173 {+|+} <174> 860611^0814 174 *+-=*+-=*+==*+-=*+-=*+-=*+-=*+-=*+-=*+-=MAKING UP MY OWN BORDER (BORDAR?)

I just thought 263 I would drop back in and tell you that I just 264 got back from my trip to Calif....I mean Libya! Ya, ya, I had to go talk to K 265 hadafy about the situation of things around here. Why, old Momar and I had a 266 great time. We sat in on a jam session with The Rolling...or was it...ya, ya. 267 ..Luciano Pavoratti and James Brown, it was great!!! Ron probably didn't know 268 that Momar plays one hell of a sax when he bombed him. So anyway, I go to ge 269 t back on the plane, and I remember I left my accordian.. Er..uh... I mean my 270 drum set back at Mo's house, and I head back to get it when I see this strange 271 thing in the shape of a cigar or a saucer..I think...Ya, that's the ticket... 272 a saucer. It dropped down out of the sky and !!POW!! I was back home in Tex 273 as trying to figure out how I was going to break even in the oil business with 274 all these Saudis trying to horn in on my business. So I give Ron a call and 275 say, "Ron, baby, I need some help here." He tells me that he will personally 276 give the saudis hell. Why he even said he might drop a bomb on them...ya, tha 277 t's the ticket! A big bomb. Then all their oil would be sucked into outer sp 278 ace. After I got off the phone with him, my wife Farrah...er uh Morgan...ya! 279 Morgan Fairchild, my wife, she walks in and brings me some coffee and we have 280 a nice chat about astro-physics and the aspects of angular entropy. So next t 281 hing I know, the guys from Genesis are on the phone and I have to conference-c 282 all them with the boys from Kiss. What a mess. All they wanted to know was w 283 hen I was going to gig with them next. So I asked Morgan where my daughter, B 284 rook... I mean Allie Sheedy, was and Morgan said she went out with some friend 285 s from school -- something about a nuclear reactor. I thought next I had bett 286 er give my friend Delorean a call and who answers the phone but Mr. Ferrari! 287 So I asked Enzo how he was doing and he told me that the two of them were work 288 ing on a new super car and that I could have the first few that rolled off the 289 line. So now aobut all I have to do is get this Space Shuttle mess straighte 290 ned out and... oops, Morgan needs me so I had better go, I forgot that we were 291 having the Bhagwan and Charles and Dianna over for dinner.

Any luck in the clearance section?" 476 "I dunno." Garret held up a brightly packaged album. "Want a Slim Whitman 477 half-speed digitally-mastered 'My Favorite Yodels?'" 478 Farley grimaced. "I'll pass." 479 James put the record back, kept searching. "What are we looking for, again?" 480 "Something strange. Anything out of place, odd, weird..." 481 "Well, I've found something strange." 482 Farley whirled. "What?" 483 "Us in a store, looking through CDs for something strange." 484 Eugene frowned.

I sent a telepathic 610 order for the Entropy reversing ritual. 611 Unfortunatly, when I tried it it turned 612 out to be an Entropy AMPLIFYING ritual. 613 There is now a large hole in the ground 614 where my house used to be and my age 615 was tripled in a matter of seconds. 616 I have complained to the appropriate 617 authorities and I am promised that 618 action will be taken against the person 619 who left the ad above. They have 620 given me a 3-D spell to cast upon the 621 offending parties. Dandruff, Diareeah, 622 and defenestration. 623 624 625 OMIGOD! Not Diareeah (sic). It is always amusing to see the effects of a mis- 626 spelled spell. One time back in 1036 I witnessed such an occasion. A wizened 627 old coot was going to send a young upstart mage back whence he came. He spelled 628 out "Return to thy wold, oh destoyer of too worlds. Thou hast chastized their 629 intellegent transmition enought!" Needless to say, the result was spectacular. TOTAL NUMBER OF LINES = 629
