42 a table and mused. "I sure could use a li'l 'elp from that bloody Jon-tom,

180 All: Sorry about that, I should pay more attention to what's going on
181 here. My attention has been directed elsewhere the last few weeks.
182 And too, it does get tiresome reading all that drivel all the time,
183 and I'm afriad I got into the habit of just ignoring it completely.
184 So, it is taken care of now. And I will pay more attention in the
185 future. Maybe we can get back to being the great system that BW has
186 always been now.

199 In the wee early hours, when the first robin of the day breaks the soft
200 velvet of sleep, Fencer was awakened by that same damn bird doing the same
201 thing previously said. After a few soft curses addressed to all avians,
202 Fencer and his dog sleepily trudged out the door of the cozy little inn that
203 had been, only the night before, a structure full of disharmony. The small
204 path that lay before the two companions was still dewy and barely lit by the
205 morning sun, and ... NEVER MIND! I'M NOT A WRITER! I'll find some other way
206 to express myself- sorry for wasted space. Oh well, on to greener fields.

225 Twice, eh? tTry seeing it 4 times and reading the book! (I did this!)
226 Then say that your brain isn't a tad rattled. Too bad there were no
227 animals in said film. A nice smart ferret would have spiced it up
228 immensly. I can see it all now! Back to the Ferret! A ferret driving a
229 grey car with a little fluxy thing in theback that some weird scientist
230 invented while hanging a clock! WOW! That's a prospect I'll send to
231 Stephen Speilberg.
232 Speaking of Speilberg, I have tested and analyzed and watched his fi
233 films innumerable times and I have come to a solid conclusion:
234 Stephen Spielberg is too intelligent to be a furless human!
235 he has to be one of us animals because everyone knows txat humans are
236 not the brightest things in the world and that us ferrets and otters and
237 dogs, cats, rats, mice, owls, etc are.
238 I suspect that a humans is POSING as Speilberg, and that the master
239 director is actually a wolf, ferret, or otter of some sort because t
240 there is NO WAY that a human could think up those stories. It'S just not
241 possible. I mean, face the facts, humans. You are just plain morons. You
242 are weird and you do strange things like take HOT baths. Give me a cold
243 one any day. I realize txat we animals prefer cooler baths because we are
244 insulated from cold and we would fry if we took a HOT bath, but it seems
245 that you humans actually enjoy a hot bath. So strange.
246 Let's just get a grip on realityI should realize that I, being a fe
247 ferret (Yes! I'm a real honest fur covered ferret! U~derstand! A ferret!)
248 I should not be prejudice of you humans because you are furless save your
249 head. I am sorry. What do you all think on the subject of txose horrid
250 furless humans? Tell me this..this is very serious now and this question
251 has bothered me for a long time. If you are a human please answer it and
252 will be forever grateful. Here is the qustion:
253
254 I am covered from head to tail in white, brown, and black fur. It is
255 very comfortable and I could never live wituhout it. Now could someone t
256 tell me HOW Humans can stand NOT HAVING FUR???????????????????????????
257 This question is very serious! Please answer it! I need an answer!!!!!

274 ok! Ok! I've learned my lesson. I'm acting like Hitler or someone. A
275 race can't help be what it is and I have made a mistake. I am sorry. It's
276 more of a need to understand the human way than a tirade. I don't want to
277 make enemies here, but everyone seems to be out to get me. Mabye that's
278 because mst of the occupants of Backwater are humans. I have been
279 ~prejudice because you are furless (almost) (you have fur on your heads)
280 and because I was quite nervous abotut you all. I'm not comfortadkble with
281 humans because I'm a ferret. I'm different than them. i am sorry.
282 Could you all please furgive (puun) me? I am very sorry and have learned

493 To H.L.M.: when I auto-dial a number once every 10 seconds for *3* hours, and
494 it still doesn't answer, I *tend* to think there might be some sort of problem
495 with the system's line... But why am I bothering to answer some jerk-off who
496 doesn't even have enought guts to sign their own true alias? You are right,
497 my mind *must* be on the fritz for me to waste my time. Keep you stupid
498 comments to yourself. I'll possibly regret entering all this, but not too
499 much. At any rate, with it being ENTER ONLY mode, I can't erase it anyway.
500 If Cistop wants to kill it, he has everyright to do so. This communication
501 has ended.

506 All: As i thumbed through a book that told of my world, I happened upon a
507 quote from a human named Markus the ineluctable 8wxatever that means!).
508 i think it sums up and shouls stop all prejudistic txouohts between the h
509 human and the non-humans here at Inisfall. It goes something like this:
510 In other words, txey know what'S important in life. Mabye they hhave
511 whiskers that grow sideways instead of down, and pags instead of palms,
512 and fur coats instead of skin, but they're still people!
513 (From Moment of the Magician by Alan Dean Foster.)
514 I think that shomld calm the storm that rages on in the Inn. Well, all
515 you, and I refrain from saying HUMANS and NON-HUMANS, but instead will
516 say people. What do all you people think.Does that settle the argument
517 aboout who is smarter or stronger? There is great diversification in the
518 world. We can benefit from eachother and others can benefit from us. We m
519 must only work towards a common goal. Well, humans and non'S? Are we
520 goino to bicker amongst ourselves or share our ideas and benefit from the
521 sweet fruit that will ripen when we work together. Pardon my preachings,
522 BUT DO YOU ALL AGREE WITH WHAT I SAID??
523 MY MAIN POINT IS THIS. WE ARE NOT ALL THAT DIFFERENT, SAVE PERSONAL
524 APPEARANCE AND OUR DIET PREFERANCES. WE ARE STILL BEINGS WITH A SOUL AND
525 ULD BE TREATED AS YOU W_ULD TREAT _NE OF Y_UR OwN KIND. DOES EVERYONE A
526 AGREE???????
527 I still can't see how you live without furr though!
528 Zancresta the ferret!
529 "*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"*"
530 Yeah.
531 .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
532 Dear Mr. Ferret,
533 I have made a detailed study of several of the species homo sapiens, and
534 have noticed something that you evidently have missed. Humans *DO* have
535 fur. The fur is really there, but in a very regressive state. If you look
536 closely, you will notice that all humans have small hair folicals literally
537 covering their body. This growth has been repressed, though, by the odd
538 assortment of cotton, wool, leather, and artificial woven fabrics. These
539 fabrics have been rubbing the skin for thousands of years, therefore some-
540 what elliminating the need for the original fur. Some sings to look for when
541 searching for human fur:
542 1) "pony tails" on pre-pubescent females
543 2) "pony tails" on post-pubescent 1960's holdovers
544 3) heavy facial hair on lazy post-pubescent males
545 4) acne (aka 'zits') in oil-filled follicals of pubescent humans
546 5) very small, blond hair covering most humans of scandinavian descent
547 6) pubescent and post-pubescent females shaving their hind legs
548 (gathering this data can be hazardous, as these females have been
549 known to throw scissors and heavy brushes at anything even
550 slightly resembling a peeping tom (and I've got the scars to
551 prove it!))
552
553 There are other signs, such as over-use of tweezers on moles, large
554 eyebrows, etc., but I shouldn't reveal the full report here. Look for my
555 report in the next issue of "Scientific Australian", with helps from
556 Rocky Raccoon and Paul the Walrus.
557 .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.Emu
558 ps What I can't understand is why they use and abuse many animals' skins
559 to make what is called 'leather'. I think this is a discusting habit, and
560 that something should be done. Nothing horribly militant, mind you, but to
561 at least get the message across.
562 .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.Emu
563 "Then God said, 'Let us make a man--someone like ourselves, to be the master
564 of all life upon the earth and in the skies and in the seas.'
565 So God made man like his Maker. Like God did God make man;
566 Man and maid did he make them. And God blessed them and told them,
567 'Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it; you are masters of the fish
568 and birds and all the animals. ...'
569
570 So, as a Man, with all my God-given authority, I bid all you animals,
571 BEGONE!!
572 BEGONE FROM THE INN!!
573 BACK TO THE tanis WHICH SPAWNED YOU!!
574 BACK TO THE SLIME FROM WHENCE YOU CRAWLED!!

598 "Letters may be annoying," Said the Sage while nodding toward a certain
599 paragraph, "but they are definately interesting to read after a long time.
600 "I simply can't see why you send so many of them, or spend so much time
601 doing it," Said the Odd One hoping to draw the Sage's attention for a moment.
602 The Odd One was simply frustrated at being ignored all this time while Sage was
603 writing letters.
604 "Alright, that looks about it. Another story enscribed to the page,"
605 "Does that mean we can see what you keep in the outer places of your regal
606 estate? I mean, it would be rather nifty to see it all," Rattled the Odd One.
607 "Of course, in a moment. Firstly though, should I hire a scribe though?
608 I could get a lot of writing done that I hadn't been able to get to lately,"
609 The Sage looked as if he had just discovered the way to solve every problem in
610
611 his ancient life. Which he hadn't, but he didn't know that, yet.

619 Amos: Did you notice the uncanny resemblance between Miss Piggy and
620 the "chief" cheap. Only , Miss Piggy has style, poise and a
621 lot smarter. Piggy Harrington didn't know it yet, but she
622 was set up by some old swine at the sty. The poor chief would
623 soon be Aunt Sally foir all - porkies included.
624 Sad but true.
