Subject: Home Cooked Meals
Are you longing for a good, home cooked meal in a family setting
Each day as I go home I realize what a blessing it is not to
live in a dormitory or an apartment, but in a house with my
family. Of course, it's hard to make ends meet (most months
they don't), so my wife Lee and I are considering opening our
home to small groups of hungry CMU students for a good, solid
evening meal in exchange for (you may have guessed) a reasonable
donation to our grocery bill. For information and appointments
contact me or call Lee at 381-5519.

Subject: Family style TV
Are you longing to watch the Super Bowl and Charlie's Angels in
glorious full color? As I enter my office each day, I realize what a
blessing it is not to have just a cheap, tinny AM radio, but to have
a costly color TV. Of course, on a faculty member's salary, it's hard
to make ends meet (especially with a hungry Eldorado to feed), so my
secretary and I are considering opening my office to small groups of
well-behaved video-starved CMU students for a good solid evening of
viewing pleasure in exchange for (of course) a reasonable donation to
Neiman-Marcus for my monthly TV payment. For tickets, contact Cynthia
at X2591--don't send netmail, I wouldn't want to be accused of
misusing ARPA facilities for personal gain. After the movie, we'll
all go over to Slack's place for dinner.

Subject: Saving on Utility Bills
Now that precedent has been set:
As I enter my home each day, I realize what a blessing it is to have hot water
available at the turn of a tap. Of course, on a staff member's salary, it's
hard to pay those winter utility bills, so I'm considering opening my shower to
small groups of well-versed CMU C.S. coeds who believe, as I do, that our
natural resources should be conserved--in exchange, of course, for a reasonable
contribution toward my utility bill. For appointments, leave your number with
anyone in the Engineering Lab and we'll get back to you. If we're still up to
it after the shower, we can go watch TV at Jensen's.

Subject: Family style decadence
From: Mark Faust <Mark.Faust at CMU-10A>
As I return home to my house every day, I realize what a blessing it
is to not have to live in a wholesome family style environment, but
to enjoy instead a truly depraved, immoral and hedonistic life. Of
course it's hard to afford the alkaloids and hallucinogens to support
such an existence, so my housemates and I are considering inviting
small mobs of suitably tainted and unruly CMU students over for a
good sordid evening of sexual perversion and drug abuse in exchange
for (naturally) a reasonable donation to our wholesaler. For
reservations and information give Andrea or myself a call at
421-2577. After regaining consciousness we can scope out the pretty
colors on Doug's TV set. (Who needs to eat?)

Subject: 3M glue
3M, under the Scotch brand name, manufactures a fine adhesive for art
and display work. This product is called "Craft Mount". 3M suggests
that to obtain the best results, one should make the bond "while the
adhesive is wet, aggressively tacky." I did not know what "aggressively
tacky" meant until I saw a recent notice in the Bboard.

Subject: Sweet mother of pearl ...
.
As I swim through the warm lagoon each day, I realize what a blessing
it is to live in such serenity, solitude, and splendor. The gentle
azure seas, softly glistening beaches, and waving emerald fronds carry
me back to the rocking cradle of my youth, long before my glacial era
at CMU. I'm in awe of my balmy home each waking moment; I thank the
gods for their cooling afternoon showers no less than I praise my
lovely wives--all seven of them--for the constant attention they rain
upon me. Unfettered by the mores of white men, we laugh and love each
sun-drenched day away.
.
I'd share this, you know, if I thought it could stay this way.
But sex and drugs and rock & roll, why, they'd bring our blackest day.

Subject: Full Moon?
After reading the bboard postings for the last 12 hours, I have
to ask: was there a full moon last night???
