No no, only *true* rumours, or at least rumours that you have, indeed,
actually heard can be repeated here.  You aren't allowed to *make* *up*
rumours!

D!

    
    
    	I heard that Kath Gallup got her hair colored so that she
    	looks like Billy Idol!  =)

It's true, it's true!  Wowza!

D!

[Well...Billy Idol with curly hair, maybe.]
 

    Yep, she begged for money to get her hair colored so nobody could
    recognize her when she begged.  Now Billy Idol has just filed a million
    dollar law suit against her for scandalizing his name.  So she is
    planing to go to Cambridge again tonight to beg for more money so
    she can pay for her own lawyer.  :-)
    
    Eugene

    I have one in training...
       Maybe, he could help her out, and she wouldn't have to beg....
    
    Oh.... that is right ... No solicitation in the notes files.
    
    Cindi ;->

        From watching the credits after the movie last night, it
        appears that at least parts of Bill & Ted's Excellent
        Adventure were filmed in Arizona ... Kath's home state!

    G'day,
    Then there was the gold miner that went to heaven, but St Peter
    wouldn't let him in 'cos there were already too many gold miners. So
    the miner asked if he could come in if there were less miners. St P
    eter said that would be OK. So the miner went round saying that there
    was a rich gold seam in Hell - so all teh gold miners asked ST Peter
    for permission to go below and off they went. Eventually St Peter told
    the miner he could come in now, as there was room. 
    
    
    
    
    The miner declined, saying that, though he had started the rumour, he
    would prefer to go below, since ' there _might_ be _some_ truth in
    it.....
    
    
    derek
    
    
    PS
    
    Is there any rumour in the truth that there is to be something special
    happening in july???

    I think the most scandalous thing to say about Kath was that after she
    got the money she went into the Middle East and sat through a show
    where one of the bands was in drag, and then later the audience made a
    huge pit, the biggest pit I've seen in a small club since Pussy Galore
    played last summer..............
    
    But then I'd be implicating myself, because I saw it too, and took
    pictures of the whole spectacle, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing
    to boot.
    
    Lisa

    
    
    
    It's rumoured, though, that Lisa Gassaway stood on stage the entire
    show snapping pictures of the band and the pit (that basically could
    have passed for an orgy when that one girl was in there).
    
    
    That pit was scary, Lisa.....you couldn't have caught me DEAD in there
    (well, maybe...)  I saw some people staggering out looking like they
    were about to keel over.
    
    Excellent show.....thankfully I had an escort out to my car afterwards,
    though...Having been hit on 4 times in the span of 20 minutes outside
    on the streets of Cambridge was not my idea of fun.
    
    kat

    
    You look like Kathy Gallup with a new hairdo to me, but then again my
    opinion may be somewhat biased.
    
    Lisa

    It is rumoured that Kathy and Lisa are making a joint exhibit of their
    pictures at Boston Mm. of Art.  The organization _Bozo's Against
    Pornos_ are planning to hold a demonstration outside.  The Congress is
    launching an investigation as to why NEA is using our hard earn tax
    money to fund such, as the right honorable Jesse Helms puts it, trash.  
    The citizens for limited taxation is in an uproar.  Barbara Anderson
    is threathening to dump a million tea bags into the Boston Harbor
    again.  On the other hand, the artist community is solidly behind Kathy
    and Lisa.  "We have just nominated the exhibit for the esteemed
    Puketzer prize," said one spokeswoperson.
    
    Eugene

Sigh, expressing my ignornace here, and how can I enjoy the rumor when I don't
know what it means.

What's a pit? What color *is* Billy Idol's hair? Does Billy Idol have hair?
liesl

    
    
    Hahaha...sorry Liesl....I guess I should relate the story here.  I'll
    copy over my note from Radio_Radio following this one.
    
    First, some "definitions"...
    
    A "Pit" is where people slam dance, it's usually right in front of the
    stage (hence the name "pit" as if it were for an orchestra).  To the
    casual observer, it looks like a very violent sort of sadistic ritual. 
    In fact, most people don't get hurt in pits, as long as they keep their
    feet up and their arms out to protect them (although, I wasn't going to 
    venture into this Pit, it was quite nasty looking).
    
    Billy Idol's hair is about like Madonna's color, except with maybe a
    little more gold in it....(hers is totally white, isn't it?)  Anyway,
    my hair is a VERY VERY light blonde right now....you might even call it
    white............
    
    Okay, just so everyone knows what happened, I'll post my story after
    this.

    <...some irrelevant stuff deleted...>    
    
    
    Okay, so I hunted this topic down to enter my experience from Sunday
    night.  Sunday night was The Cows/Green Magnet School/Chl�e show at the
    Middle East.
    
    There's just SOMETHING about me and that corner in Cambridge that don't
    get along.  Two weeks ago, on the way to Maria X at TT's, I got some
    rather "interesting" comments from a passerby....you know, the kind
    that a woman enjoys, yet hates, all at the same time...  Anyway, AFTER
    the Maria X show, I was walking out with Scott (Paul was in front of us
    a little ways), in the midst of telling him about the comment I got,
    and ANOTHER passerby made some equally "interesting" comments.
    
    Okay, by this time I'm getting a complex...do I look like a slut or
    something?  (Shut up, guys...)  
    
    
    Anyway, this Sunday afternoon I call Paul to go into the show with him. 
    Guess what, HE isn't home...in fact, HE thought the show was in the
    afternoon, so he took off without me!  (Grrrrr......payback's a bitch!
    ;-) )   So, even though I despise venturing into certain clubs by
    myself, I took the risk.  (I kept telling myself, "Okay, Kath...be a
    big girl.  Nothing will happen this time!")
    
    I get there, head toward the bank machine...guess what...NO bank card.
    Okay, check the wallet. $2 in there (just enough to get home on the
    Mass Pike).  No problem, I'll just WAIT OUTSIDE, I'm early, and I knew
    at least Lisa was going to be at the show, and maybe Paul would show
    up.  Maybe they can save me....
    
    20 minutes later, I'm in a fit because I've just gotten my FOURTH
    comment from a passerby (what is the DEAL with this corner?).  One guy
    even stopped and tried to convince me to go home with him!!!!!!  (I had
    on grungy clothes and no makeup too! What's the deal?!)  "Excuse me,
    could you please make me feel a little more uncomfortable than I
    already am?"  Ish.
    
    Okay, so it's 9pm on a Sunday night, I'm having FITS!  (Scott and Paul
    both know how I get when I'm alone like that in an insecure place....
    needless to say, I was near to freaking out).
    
    Finally, I was about to walk back to my car and go home when a woman I
    know from another conference walked by on her way to another club.
    <...Enter D! to the scene of the crime....>  She saved me (and I will
    love her to death for the rest of my life for it!)  She gave me $10
    (and, of course, told everyone I was begging on street corners for
    money!)
    
    So, I walk into the Middle East and guess what?!  No one was at the door
    collecting money right then so I got to just walk right in!  
    
    Fitting justice after all that, I think.....
    
    Kath_spineless_jellyfish (I suppose).  ;-(
    
    

Hmph, confirmation from the person in question means it isn't much of a
*rumour*!!

Well I also heard a rumour that Amy Goldman is now wearing *skirts* 
to work! :-)

D!

    
    
    
    She.....*gasp*, not only wearing SKIRTS, she's wearing SUITS! 
    
    
    Can you BELIEVE that?!?!  
    
    
    I'm shocked, personally.....
    
    kat

    re .14,
    
    To tell ya the truth, I hadn't had the foggiest idea of what
    they are, but that never stops me from spreading the rumours.
    
    Eugene

>Hmph, confirmation from the person in question means it isn't much of a
>*rumour*!!

    	Well, then I will neither confirm nor deny this latest tidbit
    about me!

    	Egads, next thing you know, D! and Kath, you'll be telling
    folks I wear stockings and *heels* with these alleged skirts/
    suits! :^)

    	Amy (who may or may not be in "corporate drag" again today! :^) )

         Was Stormin Norman seen with Kath in the Middle East???
    
    Antipodeans want to know!

Amy, I may bring myself to accept the skirts, stockings and high heels.
But you *have* to do something about your new node name.  Any decent-minded
cluster will simply reject mail from a node name like MRKTING!

BTW, I heard a rumour that Amy needs a lunchtime rescue from TTB.  Maybe
some of her ZKO friends can throw out a line... :-)

--bob

P.S.  Do you have to use ALL-IN-ONE notes too?

>Amy, I may bring myself to accept the skirts, stockings and high heels.

What's this?  Is this a rumor that Bob Pellegrino will soon be dressing in 
skirts, stockings, and high heels *regularly*??!

    Yeah, but MRKTNG has nodes in it that are spices, doesn't it?  Does
    that mean marketing people are sedate on the outside and spicy on the
    inside?
    
    enquiring minds want to know?
    
    And Bob Pellegrino in skirts, stockings, and high heels?  This I must
    see!
    
    ;)
    
    -Jody
    

    
    
    And I heard a rumour somewhere that he had an elephant shaved into the
    back of his head.......
    
    
    kat

Geez, it seems my conversations travel quick on the grapevine.

No, nothing shaved into my head.  Sitting in Randy's chair right after
he got through with Kath was a mistake!  He was so pumped up (in a hairdresser
sort of way) from doing Kath's bleach job and touchup paint, it was all I
could do to get him to give me a semi-standard trim.  

And it is *not* true that I've been wearing any of Amy's undergarments.
Just because they are in my dresser, doesn't mean *I* was wearing them...

--bob

    	Now wait just a second here....who said anything about my
    undergarments??!  Bob, I think you've lost track...too many women
    passing through to borrow from?? ;^)

    	And yes, the nodes in the cluster are SAGE, CLOVE, NUTMEG.  
    (Going from LDYBUG to NUTMEG wouldn't have been bad!)  

    	As for being spicy inside...Hmmm...I ain't telling! ;^)

    	Amy

        Soapbox had your initials carved into his head?

Marge Davis Hallyburton is rumored to be leaving the company today, per
Andy Leslie in another conference.  Anyone confirm?

DougO

Nah, I can't lose track-- I have everyone sign the guest book!
(Actually, inspired by the new ZKO policy, I installed a card reader 
on the bedroom door... (no tailgating in please) :-)

Sharon, if you'd really *like* to see me in stockings and heels, we can 
discuss it.  Got anything for a 33" waist, size 10 1/2 shoe?

--bob

    re .29:
    I heard this too, but from someone in her group. :-(

    It is true!  Marge is looking towards the future and will take this
    opportunity to finish her undergraduate and hopefully begin law 
    school in 1992.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear friends and colleagues,

In equal measure, fond reminiscence and wonderful expectations of the
future crowd my mind today, my last with Digital.  I'd like to send
along my thanks to you for helping these years pass so pleasurably
and for enriching my career and, indeed, my life. 

Over the coming year, I'll be concentrating on the completion of my
undergraduate work at Rivier College.  At the same time, I'll be
applying to law school with hopes of admission to a fulltime,
three-year program in September, 1992.  My goal is a second career
in public interest law, with a focus on child and elder advocacy.


Wishing you all life's best.

grins,
Marge

    Joyce is organizing a potluck for us all for this coming weekend! :-)

    Hahaha....that was Ken Murphy from the SUBURB:: clan.  ;-)  I let his
    personal name stand in the conference, so he said he would immortalize
    me in his scalp.,
    
    
    I've yet to see proof.
