alchen (Alice L Chen):
Look, I have a .plan! :)
Right now, I can't think of anything to put in my .plan, so I guess this will just be a temporary .plan until I think of something. However, knowing me, this will probably end up being my real .plan!!! Anyway, here goes:
Hello! My name is Alice Chen, and I'm a very confused freshman at MIT. I don't know what I'll major in, I don't know what classes I'm taking next term, and I don't know why I'm here at MIT! Anyway, I DO like athena (I must really sound like a nerd now) so send me email at alchen@athena.mit.edu! Even better, send me real mail! I LOVE real mail! My address and phone number at MIT is:
Alice Chen
McCormick Hall, Room 227
320 Memorial Drive
Cambridge, MA 02139
(617) 225-9108
If you want to, you can reach me at my home address during the summer:

You're probably thinking: "This is the most boring finger file I'VE ever read!" Well, SORRY!! hee hee; just kidding!

Could someone please mail the recent message about using the
definitive reference standard box of 64 Crayola crayons (with the
built-in sharpener!)
The available reference (which someone else posted already) was based
on the 72-crayon standard (a later ANSI rev than the 64-crayon
standard), but I think it will still serve your purposes.
The ISO 497-crayon standard is still in committee. The French
delegation raised objections to the standard pronunciation of "mauve",
so it may be a while longer. In the mean time, the 72-crayon box is
useful, lighter weight, fits in a more regularly-shaped box, easier to
keep sharp, less costly at replacement time due to meltdown or
teeth-cutting/cat-chewing, and universally available. Even though
it's not an International Standard.

jik (Jonathan I. Kamens):
A certain old cat had made his home in the alley behind Gabe's bar for
some time, subsisting on scraps and occasional handouts from the bartender.
One evening, emboldened by hunger, the feline attempted to follow Gabe through
the back door. Regrettably, only the his body had made it through when
Gabe slammed the door, severing the cat's tail at its base. This proved too
much for the old creature, who looked sadly at Gabe and expired on the spot.
Gabe put the carcass back out in the alley and went back to business.
The mandatory closing time arrived and Gabe was in the process of locking up
after the last customers had gone. Approaching the back door he was startled
to see an apparition of the old cat mournfully holding its severed tail out,
silently pleading for Gabe to put the tail back on its corpse so that it could
go on to the kitty afterworld complete. Gabe shook his head sadly and said
to the ghost: "I can't. You know the law:
I can't retail spirits after 2:00 AM."

wesommer (Bill Sommerfeld):

and a few shits.
