I have finally done it. I've got the LSPN's into envelopes.. now, who
all wanted one? I know I'm missing some people, but with the big crash
in July, I've lost a lot of stuff.... Here's who I have on my list:

Kasatka
Meg
Nikitta
Orion
Jacob
Lariel
Nemo
BBZ
Kristen

Who am I missing? You'll have to email me your address because the above
mentioned people are all the addresses I have.

Thank you, Come Again.

Yay! Mine came too! And LA - you typed every single word of my adress right,

Actually, I think LA's one of the few people ever to have spelled my
entire name right. You may have one entirely q flavoured ä-point LA!

Low-Scent Pine Numerals.

It's a very old invention, dating back to the days of yore, when
computers were just barely created. Way back then, the hulking
machines wouldn't get started unless they received a good buffing with
a pine-scented dust rag. Of course, since the original computers were
so huge, it would take a good day or so to dust them properly, and
thus an entire twenty-four hours would be lost just getting the
blasted thing ready.

So someone came up with a brilliant idea: why not just make the
numbers that the computer would process out of pine-scented anti-dust
materials? And then the computers could be run day and night, and
happy were the businesses that had them.

Of course, the pine scent had to be just right. Too high, and the
machine would go into overdrive and burn up. Too low, and the dust
would accumulate and freeze up the machine. Thus the Low-Scent, which
was just high enough to repel the dust but low enough to keep the
machine running at peak efficiency.

LSPN's are very rare, and have to be made special from certain
companies that deal in nostalgic material (modern computers have
built-in LSPN's that can't be removed for obvious reasons). Thus why
we have one froup member who specializes in shipping them out around
the world to those who want them.

In that case my computer might need a replacement LSPN... either that or I

you would like to wake up now I will serve you coffee and biscuits.

You forgot to add the bit, perhaps apocryphal (Look ma! I finally used that
word in a sentence!), about how the bits of the hulking machine that you
dusted first were stale by the time you dusted the last bits. Pine scent
didn't last a full 24 hours in those days.

I'm not saying that Germans are silly (I'm not saying that they aren't
either), just that German grammar is silly.

>and finds it rather self-explanatory. Even though, as ä is a fairly
>German letter, yes, it is a German language ref...

Or swedish, or finnish or... (well, that's what I could come up with).
The reason why I gave the point in the first place was that it's a
part of my family-name, wich LA spellt correctly (guess 'bout the q
flavour).

You spelled my name right. This is more than I can say for lariel, who

SAY my last name, people still go "Brannigan?" Aaargh!

You try living at a street called Overgaden oven Vandet.
