That makes me very sad... I can only hope that they will all be gotten by the same person or organization, and still be on display somewhere. As much as I'd like some myself, I think it'd be a shame for them to all scatter into private collections...

didn't want to be the one to say it... mrrranda July 25 2003, 21:21:45 UTC

but there is something sad about it, isn't there? More than in just a selfish "now I'll never see them!" way.

I'm inclined to think they know already but....

*House on the Rock*

If not, I apologize for ruining the surprise, but... did I send you the clipping about the albino taxidermy collection in Lima, OH?

Re: didn't want to be the one to say it... jackgriffin July 25 2003, 21:57:00 UTC

No, I do not believe you did. And I don't remember seeing anything that interesting when I lived in Ohio...

Re: heavens! mrrranda July 25 2003, 22:41:16 UTC

I'm circulating it the way other zealots would Chick tracts. 'S on its way soon.

Re: heavens! jackgriffin July 25 2003, 22:53:05 UTC

I got another dentoform in the mail today. You have no idea what you started, Mrrr... And I am sending out some fun things to you soon. Hopefully Monday, hopefully getting to you before you fly fly away... Can I just complete *one* creative thing to include first? Bah...

Re: heavens! mrrranda July 26 2003, 00:26:06 UTC

Awwww, sweetie! Too late! I'm off to the airport around 5:30am this Monday.

I have *just* a good enough idea of what I started to know I'm running out of quality readymades to send you, to send anyone. I'll have to make things, or write them, and oh!
...it will suck.
SUCK, I TELL YOU!

You've got about twelve days to get me the other track listings....

Re: heavens! jackgriffin July 26 2003, 00:44:44 UTC

Oh dear! Well, have a lovely and safe trip, Mrrr. And your writing is more than enough, I do love it so. So much that I still have email from you that I just don't even know where to start in reply... Hopefully there will be something packagey waiting for you upon your return. Oh, and dammit-- so three weeks in a row without RadioMrrr! Grrr! ;P

Re: heavens! mrrranda July 26 2003, 01:02:15 UTC

*heeeeeee*

Thanks so much, Jack. I owe you stuff, too. In the meantime, you can hold a dentoform in each hand, and act out *all the conversations of your vivid inner life.* Or make them battle!!! And listen to Sara while I'm away; we play a lot of the same stuff - that's why we're sharing that slot, you know?

Albino taxidermy collection in Ohio? Wow, I would love to see it! anything is possible in Ohio. I spent most of my childhood there and I have never met so many genuinely strange and peculiar people in my life.

Are there two Ohios?? jackgriffin July 26 2003, 00:06:28 UTC

How funny. I spent most of my childhood in Ohio and decided that nothing was possible there... Although there is a strangeness that I couldn't fully appreciate then...

Re: Are there two Ohios?? mrrranda July 26 2003, 00:30:17 UTC

Chris is a child of Ohio, and having met his extended family, yes, there is a strangeness. It's just less flamboyant, maybe... less self-aware.

Re: Are there two Ohios?? jackgriffin July 26 2003, 00:40:53 UTC

Where in Ohio?

I did love playing on the indian burial mounds, but really cannot think of anything else...

Re: Are there two Ohios?? mrrranda July 26 2003, 01:08:56 UTC

Well, he was born in Lima, but his parents whisked him away from there when he was wee. A lot of his family's still there, can't remember where other than tiny farm towns along I-75. I'll ask him when he's up and about. He's...

(((not in shape for questioning right now))

Re: Ohio, sensei! mrrranda July 26 2003, 12:23:35 UTC

Ok, he tells me they're centered around Shelby.

Re: Are there two Ohios?? quinsters July 26 2003, 14:58:09 UTC

My father used to work in a mental hospital in Ohio. The patients would have an art show every year. You should see the great stuff he brought home. I think that he still might have some pieces.

Re: yowwwwwwlllllllllllll mrrranda July 26 2003, 15:49:47 UTC

Wow wow wow! Can you describe any of them!?
