Turtle is, of course, unique, but most closely resembles a large, anthro- pomorphic version of a Southeast Asian wood turtle. He's brown and orange, with orange highlights on his shell.

First they have to decide where to put the damn. Next they form commitees on what the enviromental impact will be, what the benefits will be, etc..etc.. Next they have to secure a building permit from the 'Beaver Builders of America', then they build. First they have to get the raw materials. They either have to gnaw down trees and other items, or they learn to drive, and go down to Home Depot and buy the stuff. But do you know the kinda looks beavers get when they ask "Scuse me sir, where's the cement at? Oh yea, we need a chain saw, and a few dozen 2 x 4s" Anyways, once they get the materials, they have to build. This means they gotta put up safety nets, deal with unions, vacations, and sometimes a strike or two. And once it is built, they have to dedicate it to someone. Since "The Jerry Mathers Memorial Damn" has been used about 40 times, they have to really think of a good name. After it's been built and named, they have to have the ribbon cutting ceremony. Unfortunatly(sp?), they can't use scissors to well, so they gnaw the ribbon, which is usually plastic, so they ingest the plastic, and die! Turtle, how'z that??

Date & Time: 12/11/89 17:16:33 Message Number 885 I was curious about that.. thank's for clarify-ing it. But what about when you notice that your lollipop is grape not cherry?

Date & Time: 12/11/89 18:10:17 Message Number 886 I almost moved to the house back there with all the plants and trees in the backyard... Nice houses. =========== From: RUFUS To: CORYWN OF AMBER Subject: Mainframe Date & Time: 12/11/89 18:54:22 Message Number 887 O.K. This is for Turtle too. Raven and Chip purchased the mainframe. We stuck it in the back of my van to bring to your house, you wern't home so we took it to Ham center where they had me drive on the sidewalk about 1/2 mile, then backup for some reason. They bought it because it has an Operating system with it. Other than that, all I know is it is named Athena Axelbreaker. Athena for the original name for HAL from 2001. Axelbreaker because it is heavy. Come on down to Rufus' we move it. Mainframes to moose, we move it all. =========== From: CHIP P. UNICORN To: PSYCHE Subject: WHY? Date & Time: 12/11/89 19:52:00 Message Number 889 Kind of. I'm quickly finding my love of mainframes over my love of homework... (BTW, it's finally over at Turtle's place.

If you're looking for the most imaginitive, most unusual, and generally all-around most amazing retelling of the King Author legend, check out "Mage"--a series of graphic novels by (I believe) Mark Wagner (or sumpin' like that.) It is truly an impressive work. =========== From: TURTLE To: SIR AVALON Subject: sigh...

Certainly not the beer. Beer is one of the most disgusting substances you can possibly put in your mouth. It has all the appeal of rotting grain, with none of the delicate flavor. Beer is an amazingly noxious liquid that really should recevie a hazardous waste code...if it doesn't have one already. --A beer-loathing Turtle =========== From: TURTLE To: CORWYN OF AMBER Subject: love! & stuff Date & Time: 12/12/89 02:51:01 Message Number 893 >But what about when you notice that your lollipop is grape not cherry? >Are you still in love? No. =========== From: TURTLE To: RUFUS Subject: Mainframe II Date & Time: 12/12/89 02:52:18 Message Number 894 Well, gang, an update on the mysterious DEC mainframe in Hamilton Center: It ain't there anymore. That's 'cause it's in my utility room, sitting right next to another, similar machine who will be its friend. The new puppy works okey-dokey, boots up and everything, 'cept Yours Truly doesn't have anything like...oh, documentation or manuals or anything for it, so the reptile's playing blind. He's used RT-11 exactly once in his life, you see, and, well, TECO ain't exactly intuitive, if you catch my drift. Still, it's a fun toy to play with...think I'll use it to store recipies. All of them. And maybe write letters. --A mainframe Turtle =========== From: CORWYN OF AMBER To: TURTLE Subject: Life Date & Time: 12/12/89 04:01:24 Message Number 895 Fine: Rum and Coke, OK (another sailor's standby) if you're /really/ into sailing... you skip the coke. - Corywn (Competitor in the: Who get drink the most and still manage to sail regatta) Aka Regatta time in Abaco =========== From: CORWYN OF AMBER To: TURTLE Subject: love! & stuff Date & Time: 12/12/89 04:03:52 Message Number 896 How many lick's /does/ it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie roll pop? =========== From: CHIP P.
