Maybe you'll like it better than BackWater. Maybe you'll use it 95 instead. Huh? 96 97 Do you ever read the Personal Messages in the classifieds? I think the basis 98 for some really strange stories are there. One a few days ago caught my eye: 99 EDWIN D. & SARA A. are black 100 hearted & God is watching your 101 evil doings. God have mercy on 102 your soul. J.R. 103 104 I wonder what Eddy & Sara did to JR? We'll never know. Make up your own story. 105 _innocent bysitter_ 106 Some punitive rehabilitation therapy this is. Imagine being commited to this 107 planet of insane lunatics for 67 talars.Argeth! All I did was "borrow" some 108 thionite crystals from the Roitation 109 reserch Institute. I was not using them 110 for a "unlicenced chronodistortion chamber", if I had been, no one would have 111 noticed anyway, because cosmic inertia 112 would have damped out any disturbances that I might have caused. Anyway, here I 113 am, setenced to spend a significant fraction of my life on this primitive excuse 114 for a planet, cut off from home family 115 and group mates. 116 In the name of Wemtroc, they still 117 use the internal combustion engine here. 118 When I go outside I am choked by the 119 fumes, which is ironic because I used 120 to breathe Carbon Monoxide, but was 121 force changed by a Body regeneration 122 unit, and given the outward aspect and 123 weaknesses of these ugly creatures. 124 Dry pink skin, intead of my normal lovely coat of blue-green scales. Ugly little 125 tentacle like hands and fingers instead 126 of efficient feelers. Yuccchhh!!! 127 I feel like a monster, I even have 128 to eat the food here! Ugh! Almost all 129 the food here is natural, grown in the 130 ground, or killed. No wonderful 131 slabs 132 of protein complex grown in tanks. 133 No vitaman enriched nutri-liquid, only 134 h2o to drink, although you can get it 135 in some half way decent flavors. 136 I especially like something called 137 blue creme soda. The coloring agents 138 taste wonderful! That's about the only 139 decent thing about this planet though, 140 I really miss Utrean, especially at thistime of year, when the females are in 141 season at home and are ready to recieve 142 my pollen. I am getting excited just 143 thinking about it. I tried the local 144 version of sex, taking instruction 145 from a videocassete called "Debbie does Dallas. The female I hired for the 146 purpose was apparently impressed with 147 my performance. It would seem that the 148 sex act here only takes an hour or 149 less, and does not last nearly a full 150 3 days as it does back home. 151 The female wanted to stop after only 152 about 2 hours, but she has promised to 153 come back soon. "No charge baby, you're 154 the best!" She also liked my outward 155 appearance. Could you tell me why 156 they chose the Earth male, Tom Selleck, 157 to copy for my earthly body. He is quitepopular here, and the natives keep on 158 asking me for something called an "Autograph". Well the only "Autograph" is my 159 communication setup to Utrean and I do 160 not intend to give that away. I must 161 close for now, group brother, and I 162 hope I will see you soon. 163 164 Yearningly yours, 165 UMWITHRIX PIOMITYER 166 COm UNiT:98utT876- 167 Earth station 7 168 169 WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE I BEAT YOU IN THIS TIME, YOU LITTLE FART! 170 EAT BUSY SIGNALS!

We're looking 349 for a littl help (possibly with spelling?). Writer's Northwest Handbook 350 is a literary directory of the NW: OR, WA, ID, MT, AK, & BC. It list 351 writers' markets and publications/publishers of general interest, with as 352 much info as possible (& economical) on each. The first edition had over 353 1,000 publishers of periodials or books, plus 25 short articlesand other 354 resources. 355 . 356 We're preparing the Second Edition and want to make sure we don't miss 357 any listings. So, if you know of any publication, electronic or otherwise, 358 which ought to be listed in such a directory, please give us a call at 359 621-3911. Ask for Dennis, Linny or Doug. If you're interested in the book, 360 we'll gladly fill you in. We're working closely with the writer's groups, 361 libraries, arts commissions, teachers and other interested folks to 362 deepenthe already strong literary tradition of the region. 363 364 Thanks for any help you might give, 365 366 Dennis Stovall 367 for Media Weavers 368 and Writer's Northwest Handbook 369 ========================================================================== 370 How could anyone in their right mind come to Backwater looking for anything 371 to do with literature?

Garret recovered in an instant, and squeezed off two 456 rounds at it before seeing that the android was proof against bullets. 457 Nick dove for IAN1, and in a calm voice that denied the fear that welled within 458 him, began giving it detailed instructions. Sweat formed on his brow as debris 459 from the rampaging IAN4 flew about him. 460 Farley quickly grabbed the first weapon-like object to come to hand- a 461 soldering gun. He cursed himself and threw the gun at the android, all the 462 while searching for something to halt it. 463 Garret kicked at it, seizing the distraction Farley had caused. A hollow thud 464 echoed in the lab, and for a few moments the android was off balance. 465 Nick muttered the last few words to IAN1 while dodging a flying soldering gun. 466 IAN1 advanced on its twin, grabbing a beaker filled with liquid on a bench. 467 Farley had taken to throwing EVERYTHING in reach toward IAN4; most of the 468 objects missed or just broke against it with no effect, save distraction. 469 470 IAN1 rapidly approched its mirror-image with the beaker. With equally fast 471 response, IAN4 turned to meet his assailant. 472 It was then that Farley threw a makeshift Molotov cocktail (made from a flask 473 of ethanol, a bit of Farley's shirt, a stopper, and lit with a Bunsen burner) 474 which hit IAN4 directly on the face. 475 476 With its visual sensors impaired, it was no problem at all for IAN1 to pour 477 the aqua reiga over IAN4's brain cavity. 478 #$##$##$##$##$##$##$##$##$##$##$##$# Farley #$##$##$# 86:08:16:20:50 #$##$##$# 479 BORING.
