re-main only FIVE days to Kate-mas, that holiest of holy days (bless
her soul) and that on the sixth day, (that is, the Day After) or more
specifically, on the evening thereof, there shall be much happiness and
rejoicing and familiar music and numerous silly faces and maybe some
slightly significant devastation at the residence of our courageous brother
Joe Turner...

...but he has TOLD me, in his own voice and not someone else's that is,
that many of you have NOT submitted yer Are-Ess-Vee-Pee-s!  Well shoot,

COMPANY PRODUCTS WILL GO AWAY AND YOU'LL BE FORCED TO DRINK PEPSI if
you don't a-hurry up and say yer' gonna be there, BUT I AIN'T GONNA SAY
THAT'S NOT THE CASE EITHER!  hint hint!  Don't waste time sending those
letters off to jdturn@umass.bitnet (or jdturn%umass.bitnet@wiscvm.wisc.edu)
