page 16 EFTY-NINE CALIBAN: Ah, here it is -- that Shaw sheet by Shaw. Your paragraph on fanomenclature was lovely. . . . . Fanning wa'n't my first intellectual hobby. I was an amateur science hobbyist long before I was other than mildly interested in fandom.... "He was interested in electricity, too.....anything you just can't put your finger on, they go in for." . . . . . Barrierish is beautyfilled, you sayed? . . . . . Oh, you needn't number your pages if you don't want to, but you really should print them right side up. CUSHLAMOCHREE: "Eofan" means "dawn fan", doesn't it? This term would seem more applicable to the ancients of pre-firstfandom days than today's neofen. Or were you perhaps referring to the Newark Neanderthal? BOOKMARK: An easy first place among the printed publications in this mailing. EN GARDE!: 80% on your quiz, and I looked up the answers first! I object vigorously to your answer to Question 19, though. See here: The great Red Spot of Saturn does not exist. Things which do not exist are not visible. --------------------------------- The Great Red Spot of Saturn is not visible. Although this somewhat naive syllogism is not as obvious as it looks, it is nevertheless valid, since both the major premise and the conclusion are non-existential propositions. Note that neither is rendered false by denying the existence of its subject. Yeah, and the Great Red Spot of Saturn isn't on Jupiter, either. Also, though I've no data, I daresay more people are resuscitated from asphyxia than die from it. But we won't experiment. . . . . . As one who argued against the recent, regrettable, expulsion proceedings and gave what I fondly imagined to be carefully set out reasons for my position, I'm no end discouraged to find them blandly passed over in your psychological analysis of us "sympathizers", Al. If enough other faps concur in the doubts as to my worth and inoffensiveness, which your analysis indicates that I must myself be quaking over (the possibility does worry me, because I"m frankly prejudiced in my own favor!), let them but send their petition to me, together with a rat bomb, and the organization shall be purged! . . . . . . "Forgotten Fantasies"? Wunnaful! Let's see this feature in every issue if possible. LIGHT: There were fourteen illustrations. I counted 'em. PARADOX: Tucker on time-travel reads in spots like the example of British double-talk that R. D. Swisher showed me recently. It was about blackout regulations and wad double-talk--I think. Appeared in a recent issue of Time, the exact date of which I don't note. Some issue of this month (December) I think it was. ROUZINE: Obviously a printed paper would be impractical for such a verbose critter as the average fap. FAPA FAN: Does non-voting correlate with publishing inactivity, I wonder? A. SINGLESHEET: I was relieved to find that the Fancyclopedia cover wasn't embossed with "Publisht by Fojak".
