For those of you who live in benighted lands and haven't seen a geoduck here's a brief description. WARNING: This could be offensive to some (but then, some people find geoducks in general pretty offensive....you probably wouldn't want one to marry your sister). Don't proceed beyond this point unless you REALLY want to know (This is scientific stuff, folks, and not to tittilate you) ROFLWS!! The best way to describe a geoduck is to imagine a large, oversized razor-clam shell with something closely resembling a 'bout foot long (or longer!) penis hanging out of it! THERE!! I said it and I'm glad!! In fact, it brings back an old geoduck joke: Two brothers are walking down the beach. Bob turns to Fred and asks "How come you always get the girls, Fred?" And Fred replys, "Well, I'll tell you a little secret. If you want to meet a lot of girls at the beach, just stick a geoduck down your trunks and the girls will flock around you!" They part and meet a little later in the day. "Well, Bob, how'd you make out with my advice?" and Bob says, sadly, "It didn't do a bit of good. Every time I approached a girl, she ran away screaming! I did just what you told me to do." Fred takes a look down and says, "Um, Bob, you're supposed to put the geoduck down the FRONT of your trunks!" Sorry, bad joke.......ducking, running, grinning and trying not to choke on a Caramello bar (I'll save one for Ma Vinci, I promise!) rubberpuma ------------------------------ From: jmorrison@nm-us.campus.mci.net Date: Wed, 5 Feb 1997 23:51:29 +0100 Subject: Re: TAN Need help surfing This is pretty general, but here goes.

Can anyone help me fill the mailbox w/ well wishes? They will be staying w/ me during this time here in Denver (they live in a small town in Nebraska) so they can be sent directly to me.

The new address is below in my sig. But the old address was listed in RSM I think. Here's the problem. A while back my ISP moved the location of member web pages, which was cool. EXCEPT they didn't delete my old ones. And I don't have authorization to do a thing with the old ones, including deleting them. I've begged and pleaded, but they're still there. I don't know what else to do but give people the new web page addresses and explain why year old swaps are still at the old address.

The example is stamped by Cathy Marshall. The lizard's credit is listed as unknown. I know! I know! It's a Rubberstilzkin stamp and it hasn't been in a current catalog for a couple of years. Well anyway, I still have that stamp. If any of you want that little lizard I've got a deal for you: UM just send me a SASE and $1 ($2 if you are not in US) Mounted $3 Ppd ($4 if you are not in US) Send to: Rubberstilzkin * PO BOX 1833 * Fremont * CA * 94538 * USA Also, in the same issue RSM on page 69 is an example by Edith K. Edmonds. The singing frogs stamp is also from Rubberstilzkin . This stamp IS in the current catalog.

I seem to be having an Email problem, I'm not getting all the messages. I have sent three seperate posts to the list since about 10:00 this morning, but have not seen any of them. I've even Emailed myself and haven't gotten the message. Very frustrating!!! I'm not sure what the question is, but if it is about the confetti, it's Looney Tune confetti. It has images of Marvin, Tweety, Porky, Bugs, Sylvester, Taz and Daffy (after the Email frustration I feel that I am on a first name basis with all the other Looney Tunes!). I think it is from Viva Las Vegastamps. I don't have the original package, but I will be making a trip this weekend to pick up some more. If I find out that it is from someone else, I'll post the correction to the list. Debby Wantastamp@aol.com wrote: > > Please let me know this also.
