Hey folks.

It's that time of year again, when the patch pumpkin passes paws. Hands,
rather. Steve Fink now joins the ranks of Parrot Pumpkings Emeritus,
having shepherded a number of releases out the door. We wish him a happy
retirement and hope the nervous twitches stop soon.

Replacing him as the pumking is the inimitable Leo Toetsch, so do please
extend your sympathy^Wcongratulations to the newest volunteer for the
post.

Dan

Are you sure you want to set a precedent for having an Austrian in the
Whitehouse?

Simon

PS Steve: thanks for all of your hard work
Leo: good luck!

Schwarzenegger, now Tötsch... there is a pattern here, but AEIOU
is more ambitious than merely occupying the WhiteHouse.

Definitely yes. That's the plan.

[1] Bluza is a dialect word here for Kürbis (pumpkin) also used as a
synonym fo head/brain but with some taste of "filled with water".
