That's right, now we've got to stock it with drinks and assorted other
goodies. Someday we may even qualify for our first real cross-post!

started learning about all the mucking about required to establish a new
newsgroup. It triggered in me the thought "Well, there's a million
newsgroups already out their, either abandoned, dead, dying, or simply not
being put to use; why not just move into one of those?"
It was a matter of minutes before I grokked that this sort of "leap of
reason" ought to be applied to many more things in RL than just Usenet
groups. Our planet is covered with half-used, castoff shells of things that
could more easily be converted or re-used than simply allowed to collect
into another layer of dead matter, on top of which our brand-new structures
would be built.

Is this the champagne fountain or a standard water fountain? I've
constructed a hybrid device from an old circular fan and two pairs of boxing
gloves to stand in for the "punch fountain" we were discussing earlier.
While growing your plants, please let us know if any hydroponic lighting you
use will require power-usage scramblers to fool the (spooks) authorities.

end of which it says "don't listen to me, don't listen to anybody, find out for
yourself"
it's grand :)

I like Everclear. I used to live in Santa Monica and play "Santa Monica"
4-7. We should make Art Alexakis an honorary saint.

Goes back to a private discussion on the possible career of finding dead
websites and turning them in...

Dear Lady!! What an IDEA!! RECYCLING! I've never heard of it before...

Sure. "Proud Parent of an Honor Student at Sequim Middle School." For
those geography buffs, I do believe there's only one Sequim in the US
(due to the first postmaster's atrocious handwriting), so now you all
can hunt me down.

Um... OK. Bear in mind that I need some place where I can cook, too.
Anyone have a hotplate?

Champagne Fountain will only be out for parties. And by standard water
fountain, are you referring to the thing you drink out of, or something
that constantly pumps water and burbles? I'm talking a rather
terrarium/waterfall type thing that supports some water-loving plants.

Nope. When Michael and I were in physics (Ohh... Physics!) We worked out
a system using mylar and flat sheets of cardboard and plastic that
direct sunlight. In other words, I had an eastern facing bedroom window,
and we created mirrored panels that directed sunlight in the room until
it started setting. Great for bedroom jungles - highly recommended for
ginger, chenille plants, bananas, and hibiscus.

it's a good idea. I'll start a new thread about it here.

Never underestimate the powers of Mayhem. You may wake up one morning and
find a crowd erecting a bronze statue in your honor in Sequim Plaza.

Hey, this is alt.stolen.property, remember? I can get you a gas stove with
burners and broilers and all the extras! If I go international I can score a
German model that seats six.

Right, the second kind. Just don't drop any sugar cubes in the fountain
either.
