Dear BOB,

Due to the stream-of-consciousness style of your last letter, I feel obligated to say something silly. Sponge cake. There. That's out of the way. Now, about your request. You wrote, quote, "If you don't let me copy your stuff, I will ram cheese down your oops, sorry." How can I resist a tempting offer like that? Actually, you are quite welcome to use material from Completely Different in Proceedings of the Spanish Inquisition (Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam). I would be honored to have MPS material included in your fanzine. The only request I would make would be that you would acknowledge that it was reprinted from CD, written by whoever wrote it (a helpful hint — in issues edited by me, most unsigned articles were written by me. In Mark's issues, the unsigned articles are usually his. Any "Attila the Something" articles are by Steve Gradess).

Your offer of "a prominent corner to advertise your neat thing" sounds great — although the MPS has traditionally been a group confined to State College (by court order — but we're doing much better now and are no longer certifiable thanks for the fruitcakes and prayers), I would love to see it become part of a national JPSO (Just Plain Silly Organization). In fact, on my own I have managed to contact a few other MPFC fan groups — I can send you the list, if you like. Do you have an e-mail address? Incidentally, my e-mail address is [omitted]. Of course, for all I know you've never even heard of e-mail and may find this paragraph as easy to decipher as an Australian pig dance.

Enclosed is the latest issue of Completely Different. I'll search out the ones you missed and send those along, as well. If your offer of a free subscription to PSI still stands, I'll look forward to your next issue (though I don't see why, since I have a master copy of it here — but that one smeared from someone drooling on it). By the way, how did you know I love moose bites? Someone's been telling stories...

Yours in Python,
Alyce
