Vanguard Variorum, May 1946

18           VANGARD VARIORUM

VANGUARD INDEX: Wow!
FI'E WORKS:   Anybody got a match?
STEFANTASY:  I con't care at all for the idea you discuss on page 9, Bill. Maybe -mis vaw siht pu tes ffuts gnidaer tub, dnim kcart-eno a evah tsuj I ply makes me dizzy. But then, I never did care an awful lot for spectating at .rehtie, sehctam sinnet
          :   Gowan, it was all my pushing that made you change your mind about publishing, knight. And I'm only a figment of your imagination, too! (Gee, maybe that also makes me a             ,
huh?) But seriously, I was almost as surprised as everybody else by this, and I thought it not only the best item in the mailing but one of the best apa publications I've seen at any time.*
VANGUARD VARIORUM: I think knight put a curse on the stencils he sold me. They worked fine for him, and the kind I usually use worked fine on the last two pages, after I had run out of damon's. But he won't tell me how he did it, or why -- which is harder to understand, since his comments came out the worst of all. 
VANGUARD AMATEUR (January): Look, knight. Lowndes has finally recognized our worth, and put us in a separate classification all by ourselves. Goody, huh?
JOE'S JOTTINGS: Int'lecks Emden, Blish, and Lowndes (Et cet.) feed Vanguard to the Lowndes; They comment on mags both cute and punk -- But as to why, they've never thunk.
That answer your question, jhe?
AGENBITE (February): Nyah, it took me less time to get the Old Lyric than anybody! I demand a prize, I do! ... Sofoto: This sort of thing is good once. (Well, I had to say it about something, doggone it.)
RENASCENCE: Wow!
VANGUARD AMATEUR (February): Well, anyway, we can only have one poll a year.
C) THE FINAL BELL
There was going to be a Statement of Policy here. But I'm a sailor now -- yes, a really, truly sailor this time. I haven't got a pretty uniform, but I do have a nice little Merchant Mariner's Document that means a lot more. And while I may be on the beach for quite a spell yet, I'm hoping to ship out in the near future, possibly within a few days. So future issues of VV are uncertain. And more issues are possible, I'll let all probable contributors know in plenty of time. In the meantime, if I can't publish, I'll certainly be around in some form. I have written so many notices like this one in the past that I'm beginning to believe they always jinx the plans that would force me to cease publication, thus making me look pretty silly, so I'll stop right now.
                                        ***
*Last minute news item: Cohen has completely forgotten how to pronounce the name of knight's magazine. I can still remember my translation of Chet's pronunciation (which damon perhaps misleadingly called my 'version'), but I am more than slightly worried. If I forget, maybe everyone will forget the magazine itself in turn. And then dk may be forgotten (with, of course, all the figments of his imagination). Don't laugh -- this may affect you more than you realize! ...

Saving...
