Dragon UpdateWhile suffering a little fromschizophrenia, our intrepid ex-plorers now find themselvesready to hit the high seas andbattle with pirates. One Tomwas heard to say “New title,sailor boy”, but as no oneever really takes notice ofwhat Tom says it had littleeffect. In their alternativeworld the bunch have beenfighting off bandits, whoseemed keen on killing thehappy, but not so friendly,gang. Fortunately they man-aged to prevail and returnhome, only to find that theprince was in fact a princess(yes, they had cross dressingin the middle ages too.....) andhad been kidnapped by the,until recently, local wizard.“Sounds like a fairy tale” com-mented Erik Nigma. “No, thatwould be a prince dressing upas a princess” replied Phil

Birthday Party Sinks into Musical QuagmireWhile the traditional May BBQ and fes-tivities went well, or at least as well asusual, things degenerated later in theevening when a gaggle of less than sober(but surprisingly talented) party goersdecided to break out the old axes and playthe blues. “It isn’t so much that we’reunhappy” said the self appointed leader ofthe group, “It’s just that it’s the onlything we all know how to play, at leastroughly at the same time”. So with a fewchoruses of “Go on get it over with then”and “Mammy take out the garbage”, and

a somewhat eclectic set of instruments they soldiered on into the night. “At least it gotevery one else to leave on time” was Sallie’s only remark.

Travel Bug“I like to travel, but it’sthe actual travel part Idon’t like”, a somewhatconfused bi-coastal sci-entist mumbled on his way out to LAX once again. With twotrips to Atlanta, a trip to Germany, one to New Mexico and withtrips scheduled to Washington DC, Berkeley, and Scotland inthe next few months some have asked how the couple manageto ever find time to be at (and clean) their home. “We don’t”came the grumpy reply from Sallie, “It’s a good thing we nowhave a dish washing machine or we’d never get out from under

the pile of dirty mar-tini glasses”.

Visa Do Si DoHaving spent upwards ofseven hours in line and hav-ing buried the appropriate paper work in peat moss for thecorrect amount of time, Sallie now has an EmploymentAuthorization Document and Advanced Parole, the latterbeing permission to leave and re-enter the USA. After anotherminor struggle it has also been found that both Sallie’s andTheo’s greencard applications are in the same office. Morenews as it comes to hand.In the mean time Sallie has found work, and while her place ofpurveyance did burn to the ground shortly thereafter nofingers have been pointed her way. She is the new editor ofthe ‘WetSet Gazette’ an industry magazine for the diaper(nappy for the antipodeans) industry. Theo is, in fact, heardto say “My wife is in diapers”.

Phil and Martin bashed, Trevor faked bass, tactless host, "one amp" Tom...
