I'm not quite sure why you use the word 'consider' here, all
of you Humans' 'Cartoon Ducks' that I've ever seen look
exactly like Zhaunteys. That these 'Cartoon Ducks' filled
your religious artwork for hundreds (if not thousands of
years) before history records first meeting between Human
and Zhauntey must speak of some unearlier unrecorded contact.

Using the island of Cuba inhabited by we TweetyByrds -- who
over the preceding century built the largest Empire in the
world through trade and conquest, but admittedly having declined
in power by the time of the conflict -- as a giant aircraft
carrier floating of the coast of the Americas.

Of course you Humans only came into the war on our side when
Zhuantey allies the Te'Shan -- resembling as they do large walking
trees -- launched a sneak attack upon your naval base at Okinawa
from their homeland upon the islands you call 'New Zealand'.

I confess, to my shame, I do not have much knowledge of this
particular slice of world history -- however popular many people
seem to find discussing the giant Mecha battles fought between
the Puddycats and the Zhuantey on the Western front -- my
studies concentrate more on the rise to power of the Sorcerer
Empress of France, but if you want to take a shot at it I
will endeavour to keep up.

Well, there are of course traditions and legends and whatnot.
Even as far back as "Cro-Magnon" times, cave artists painted several
enigmatic figures on the walls of the Les Ezyies and Ardeche sites
which bear a striking resemblances to known representations of the
Zhauntey.

Not easy for trees to launch a sneak attack, but we know from
Shakespeare that it can be done.

I like the siting in Ravenna very much. Brings up all sorts of
resonance
with the Italian Ravenna, which was the scene of all manner of goings-on
for
centuries, and I'm sure had siege laid to it a bunch of times. The
Normans had a go, I think, and the German emperors must have, and it
was the seat of the Byzantine Empire for a bit, and all that kind of
business.

Interesting that you would mention this. Just the other
day I trawled through some stuff on the web about entoptic
forms -- the standard set of patterns that you Humans
perceive when in the trance state -- and the link between
these forms and the enigmatic cave paintings you mentions.
As I understand the hypothesis, the large number of entoptic
forms present in such paintings point to their creation by
Humans in, or familar with, shamanistic trance states.
Since, as you point out, images of Zhauntey proliferate in
such paintings, and the archetype of the "Cartoon Duck"
remains common in Human literature and visual arts, one
might well conclude that we can classify the
Zhauntey/Cartoon Duck image as an entoptic form, just like
wavy lines or spirals.
We then ask ourselves the question "why this form?"
Obviously, one can dismiss the insane ravings of Zhauntey
McDermitt in Meinth Quackth -- that a previous master race
of Zhauntey on the lost continent of Atlantis[1] created
Humans via selective breeding from apes (!) to act as slaves
for the Zhuantey -- as just that, insane ravings.
One could describe, even in McDermitt's day the evidence
in favour of the scientifically valid theory -- that
Humans where created by the first gods from the small
intestines of those ice giants they slew in battle --
as having overwhelming force. So we may consign the theory
that launched such a bloody period in world history, that
the "Cartoon Duck" image represents "the mark that reveals
the maker", to the textbooks upon the treatment of demonic
possession where it rightly belongs.
One can assemble a far more plausible theory once on
recalls one of the underlying themes in Zhauntey history,
the long struggle of the many secret and conspiratorial
societies to preserve the sputtering flame of psychic
ability amongst there race. Unlike we TweetyByrds who
perform our Magicks through the agency of the Great Goddess
Granny, or you humans who perform such feats with the
aid of a whole pantheon of miscellaneous gods, goddeses
and spirits, the Zhauntey jealously guard their tradition
of attempting Magick completely unaided by any higher
power.
Presumably, because unlike our races they have some small,
but wavering ability to do so. This also accounts for some
of their superior attitude towards us all I suppose.
If one reads their history of undoubted technological
progress, one begins to how see it is punctuated and set
back by incidents caused by their secret shadow societies
meddling in the Powers without aid. The development
among the educated classes of eschewing magick totally,
one can see as a relatively recent development of the
last few decade.
I would not find it at all suprising were it to turn out
that the entoptic "Cartoon Duck" form be an effect, maybe
intentional, but probably not, of some piece of Zhauntey
meddling in the pnumeatic realm, during the early growth
of the Human collective unconsious. A sort of remote
mass mind-control of the human subconscious imprint.
After all, evidence suggests you Humans as one of the more
recent sapient species created on this planet.

occupation.

Hi Stefan:
It's interesting that you should mention this just as they have started
discussing similar issues in alt.surrealism Once again the quantum
computer (the socalled sarfetti machine) pops out it's strange
coincidences with certain themes arising independantly in a number of
groups.
Unfortunatly I'm afraid the events in alt.surrealism are a muting
action, the underlying processor trying to censor the events by talking
about them in vague philosophical ways rather than proposing pragmatic
theories on their workings through observation and experiment with the
actual events (which was the way of neu neutopia, mentioned at least a
half dozen times in alt.surrealism and conveniently censored out of the
minds of those (poor unwitting puppets of darkness) who now take up our
themes in an attempt to destoy them.)

I think there I can hazard that he probably doesn't follow
the Christian religion as evidenced by the 'Jesus Issue',
and the general prominence given to eating fish in that

However I refer you to any passing experts lurking in
a.p.s and alt.fan.suicide-squid for further elucidation.

Suicide Squid is one of the most delightful parts of the whole
canon of net.lore. In ancient times, there was a discussion in
rec.arts.comics about a comic called "Suicide Squad". A Japanese
fan struggling with his English posted:
What's happen in Suicide Squid? Please tell me.
(I don't read S.S.)
One of the local yokels gave him an answer, others
immediately picked up on it, and before you know it,
Suicide Squid was history. The cult was still growing
in 1994, three years later, and for all I know still is
today. You can read the whole hilarious story at:

It's not good polyclitical Rhetorick, granted, but therein lies
its weird power. The unconventional scansion creates a pause,
forcing the reader to consider the meaning, or simulacrum thereof,
of the phrase.
By contrast, one could read an entire year's output of a typical
"surrealist" theoretician, and never once be brought up short
as one is by "neu neutopia". The polysyllabic abstractions roll
on and on, gently lulling the reader into a confused slumber,
and ensuring that he will never be jarred by any expression
requiring thought, or even consciousness.
That's why the expression "neu neutopia" makes some people so mad.

Is it a domain, I wonder?
Speaking of that, I heard something funny today. We were trying
to find out if there's a top-level domain called ".tv".
There is, all right, but it belongs to the country of Tuvalu,
which is apparently some kind of protectorate or Trust Territory
or something in the Pacific.
Anyway, .tv is just as valid as .uk or .de, but the good folk
of Tuvalu will be happy to let you use it, provided you pay
them rather a lot of money.

Why do people collect stuff, Don? That's one I just can't
figure out.
I once found that I had a complete collection of the works of
a favorite SF author. It made me nervous, so I gave a couple
of the books away.

The balance of trade has gone more favorable in recent years, though,
thanks to the growing popularity of the chief product, "TV Buds".
TV also produces jute and copra.
(Actually, I'm not 100% sure of that, but I remember in geography
class you could usually get away with that answer for just about
any country.)
Sister Mary Inoculata: "Billy, what are the chief products of Alaska?"
Billy: "Whale blubber, Esquimaux, and...ummm...jute and copra, Sister."
Sister M.I: "zzzzzzzzzzz....."
Billy: "zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...."
[Actually, I'm just funnin' there, because I always knew the answers
to that crap. Fat lot of good it's done me in later life, too.]

TV is officially a not-for-profit country, so Japan and South
Korea get a very nice tax deduction out of it. TV also takes
all of their old cars, and even handles the smog and
registration.

Their main income comes from the sale of stamps to collectors.
The capital is called FUNAFUTI and is a popular tourist attraction for
Italian foot fetishists.
96% of the population is literate but the down side is that the primary
source of reading material is confined to the Christian bible. Part of the
population are of the Persian Baha'i faith.
In the year 1989 it exported goods totaling $165,000 yet imported goods
valued at $4,400,000.
It is supported financially by several countries including Japan and South
Korea.
There is of course allot more information available but space
prevents sharing the rest. (I made up the part about the Italian tourists,
The Island is so remote and tiny it receives few tourists)

also necessary to remember history. When neu neutopia was created
Doctress Neutopia was arguably the most controversial person on the
net. A mere mention of her name created interesting effects, effects so
strong that many readers completely edited out the contents of posts and
projected their own preconceptions into them.
The word also has connections to such things as neuron and neumann (you
are currently using a (virtual, the actual structur is paralell (in
places) but appears sequential to the programmer) Von Neumann
architecture for your computer.)
Those with a further sense of history may recall Neutonian physics as
the basis for a new world, using balloons for such tjings as perpetual
motion machines and sealing off outer space environments.

>motion machines and sealing off outer space environments.
I find myself seized by visions of sealing off my outer
space environment by constructing a parcel of brown
wrapping paper one inch from my outer surface. THE
SHINY SIDE AND PARCEL TAPE TOWARD ME.
I warp the universe with parcel wrap. Or something.
Unlike the performance ironist making followups to
John Winston consisting of quoted text the single word
'spam'. Some people don't seem to notice themselves
very well. This worries me.
So contemplate your winding number and ponder the fact
that the Scientologist premises in Edinburgh has a
blackboard outside on the street with the words 'THINK
FOR YOURSELF -- SCIENTOLOGY SCOTLAND' inscribed upon
it in large friendly letters below the chalked in
saltaire (Scottish flag). I see their painting of their
plate glass window black from the inside as another
interesting move.
Also, always succumb to the temptation to see another
movie after watching 'Shakespeare in Love', as otherwise
you have to catch the bus where the Driver and some
Local representatives of male youth and relativistic
confusion about whether the time may correctly be considered
6:10 AM or 6:10 PM, become involved in a flame war
that escalates until the police get called. The
process of taking everyone in the bus queue's, including
yourself, name and details so the Leith police may
get back to one at some point for a witness statement,
taking as long as watching that hypothetical other
movie.
Harken to my words or suffer a similar appropriately
hideous fate.
