Enlightenment 98 - June/July 2000

The Brethren of Space and Time

     The Brethren of Space and Time have had our hands busy lately.  The
other day we had our first meeting in over thirty-seven months and I
wish you had been there, preferably in my place.  Ben (I listed him him
first because he's tallest), Ray, the rest of the gang and I watched
Hold That Ghost, Mexican Hayride and Pardon My Sarong and were half-way
through The Wistful Window of Wagon Gap when we realized we were
attending a meeting of the Abbott and Costello Society by mistake.  Back
in our usual meeting in the basement of the courthouse, we saw the
restored version of The Crusade and thought it was real George, whatever
that means.
     The discussion group proved most constructive.  First up, we all
agreed it was high time we stood up to Dean Shewring and stop paying him
his so-called "protection money".  Of more concern was the fact that we
are being sued by eleven different organisations who claim we stole
their offical title.  We decided that the best way to deal with this
problem was to pay up, so we duly despatched envelopes to each.  If they
continue to make trouble for us, we will mail off more envelopes, these
ones actually containing cheques.
     The real shocker came when somebody (I think it was me) piped with
the stunning news that this June, Carole Ann Ford turns sixty.  Yes,
sixty, s-i-x-t-y.  That's almost old enough to be my younger sister.  We
realized we should commemorate Ms. Ford's birthday and will work toward
that end next time.
     Until then, remember, always examine the dice.
