Subject: Party?
I'm sorry to bug the whole list with this, but I don't know any
other way to find out.
Okay, is there going to be a party in the Maryland area the
weekend of Syndi-con East? I heard a bit of talk that there was, but
nothing definite. I'm not going to the con, for various reasons,
including fiscal and logistical, but I'd love to try and get to a
party. Particularly since I couldn't make it to the Virginia one. As I
said on SKL:
I'll bake cookies to bring! Chocolate chip and Oatmeal Raisin! I'd even
try and make some other kind if there are special requests! Am I
tempting anybody? <hopeful
look> 'Course then I'd still need to work out the whole ride
thing...<bats eyelashes in an attempt to look cute and needy> :)
So take pity on this poor Cousin and let me know. :) My e-mail
address is below.
Cousin Shirl <vuyx56a@p.......> A-Negative FoFoD, SKLer

Subject: YKYBWTMFKW
You Know You've Been Watching to Much FK When...
You see a news story about a new FDA approved hunger suppressant wonder-drug
the FDA has just approved and you wonder if Nat has tested yet on Nick.
BTW, on a non-FK related topic...
Did anyone else recently receive unsolicied e-mail called "Good Advice" trying
to sell
some sort of business services? I'm just curious where the individual managed
to pull
my name. If you got the same message, please let me know. (Private e-mail,
off-list --
so we don't get in trouble!)
Thanks!

That's a really good point, since when he ate mortal food he would have
used a spoon, dagger, or fingers.
My questioning of his choices had to do more with his difficulty in
eating anything. When he does try to eat, you would think he would try
something familiar ... or bloody! ;) Example: I've certainly watched a
lot of people eating sushi - but have never been able to swallow any myself.
Nick may have seen a wide variety of foods eaten across continents and
through centuries, but if most food gags him...? Maybe the answer is
that the _thought_ of what's familiar gags him and he tries the
unfamiliar as a way to get past that!?
Also, on someone else's comment, if uncooked blood is not appetizing to
us, why would the smell of cooked food be appetizing to a vampire? I
would not think that Nick would be tempted under normal circumstances to
taste mortal food based on smell.

Could anyone who knows what happened to FK Sunday night on Channel 25
please privately e-mail me? I had my vcr set and all I got was a Hunter
episode sandwiched between two talk shows.
Thanks

Subject: Re: Why french fries and not tea
renewed quickie:
a vampire ingests fresh human blood via canine/fangs~
so does the blood go right to the stomach or does it
immediately circulate and refresh the vampire?
if blood via fangs does NOT go directly to the stomach
[i really can't imagine how it would anyway], then what
is with Nick drinking steer's blood out of a wine glass?
that is~
it either doesn't matter [most logical course] or it's
the same thing, whatever--
because if Nick "digests" the steer's blood by drinking it
[assuming he still has enzymes/HCl in his gut] wouldn't
it be a completely different way of ingesting blood than
normal--via fang [assuming that *doesn't* go to his gut]?
just a very disjointed thought~

Hello again, Nat.

>postage? Maybe I can do an installment plan <g>?
I have Nth generation copies of season one and pretty good ones of season
two that Sarah Chodrow (our Last Knight hostess) made for me. I'd be glad
to copy them for you, but I have to borrow another VCR to do it. I suggest
you talk to Sarah at the party. I just bought the blank tapes and gave them
to her, and she made copies for me.
