PHANNY. An excellent issue. I particularly liked the poetry, with [[underline]] Tryst [[/underline]] taking highest honors. I'd have used this one in [[underline]] Acolyte. [[/underline]] ----oo0oo---- [[underline]] LIGHT. [[/underline]] I definitely should like to see the column, [[underline]] Unscientifacts, [[/underline]] abolished! The worst feature lightly and politely Crouch has used. The issue otherwise is up to par, though I should like to see improvemetn in its mimeographs. ----oo0oo---- [[underline]] ECCENTRIC'S ORBIT. [[/underline]] (Michigan edition) It is crappies like Don Umbilicus de Cordova aka Johan Sebastion Fout aka Cornelius Julius Fernius aka Ferdinand the Four aka Rosebud Q. Overlap aka Paddus Mimeographus foutiensis aka Squiggles the Squeech aka ... (whew)....Anyway, it is guys like Mike who make people like RDSwisher turn grey before their time. You all realize, no doubt, that this mailing contained three...yes, [[underline]] three [[/underline]]...different and distinct issues of this magazine, EACH of which was labelled Volume I Number 1.....The diet at Slan Shack sounds [[underline]] simply [[/underline]] LOATHESOME! Haltingly, I wonder--what does LIEBSCHER eat? ----oo0oo---- [[underline]] INSPIRATION [[/underline]]. Lynn gets both censure and approbation this time. I honestly feel, sir, (and from a very similar wort-life to yours) that even a rotten union is better than non at all. Furthermore, With so many different interests doing their best to pound down the laboring man forever, each attempt to bat down bad unions will also recoil on the good ones. I'm inclined to believe that the best thing would be to condone anything a union wishes to do until we are in such position that we can clean house without its backfiring on labor generally. Your statements on the extermination of the Japanese race simply amaze me beyond words. Realistic and cold-blooded thinking is so rare a phenomenon in fandom that I marvel to find even one of us who is capable of it. Congratulations. Your remarks titled: [[underline]] The Im and Imagidom [[/underline]] provides about as good a summation of this discussion as could be asked for. From the sound of your own habits, you are a fan in a million (or rather, I should say, in 500!). I certainly hope that I am able to meet you personally at some time or another--you sound like my type of fan and then some. ----oo0oo---- [[underline]] THE NEW HIEROGLYPH. [[/underline]] A valuable addition to my permanent collection; thanks, DAW. ----oo0oo---- [[underline]] AGENBITE OF INWIT. [[/underline]] The take-off on HPL was highly delightful, and I have no doubt that Lovecraft himself would have gotten a terrific kick out of it. ----oo0oo---- [[underline]] INVESTIGATION IN NEWCASTLE. [[/underline]] Between this, and the outpouring of Rogersiana.....well, if petition #2 fails, I shall no longer take any pride in remaining a member of this organization. I shall remain, obviously; I'm not one to cut off my nose to spite my face, but the opinion I would have of my fellow members in such a case would be, to put it mildly, unprintable. ----oo0oo---- TAKE-OFF. This might well be the subject of the second issue of TBYerke's magazine entitled: "PUQUE..(which is [[underline]] not [[/underline]] pronounced [[underline]] puck [[/underline]]"! ----oo0oo---- EMERGENCY FLARE. Nothing particularly comment-worthy (meaning thereby that I'm not supposed to argue with the gentleman). But [[underline]] who [[/underline]] published this? I believe that all FAPAzines should be distinctly labelled with the name of the publisher, for cataloging purposes if for no other reason. realise that I've not always shown my name on [[underline]] Fan-Dango [[/underline]] in an obvious place, but it has always been there. --8--
