kitten comes in with steamers and ballons and a large cake with Damp
Green Icing(tm).

"on this day in 1989, ckd (chris davis) posted the first announcement
of the news group alt.callahans and that was the beginning.

'The heck with it. It's time. I'm newgrouping alt.callahans--after
all, *that* will allow horrible puns, and it's an improvement over
most of the new alt.froups that people have been putting up of late.

I see no reason, [it] should ever be forgot. ..._

There just is something about Callahans, and it is neat that the
newsgroup got founded with a wotthehell impulse.

Aside from that, that same day, 11/5/1989, the Dalai Lama, the exiled
religious and political leader of Tibet, is awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize in recognition of his nonviolent campaign to end the Chinese
domination of Tibet.
