Manager's Corner
Hi all..
Operation Butterball is in full swing! Cane and Tim
are doing a bang up job counting and cyphering and
figuring.. and they report we're off to a great start.
Donations can be in the form of cash, food, time, etc.
but whatever you donate should be *more* than you were
already planning to give.. We would very much like for
Callahans to make a difference..:)
I regret to report that Cstar, our long time Message
Board manager, who I've often described as the "
soul" of Callahans resigned this month. We all
wish her well..
On the other hand, we are very happy to announce we
have two new conference 'tenders this month! Please
take the time to thank magic-makers, Scooby and JayJ
for accepting the added responsibility of 'tenderhood
at Callahans..:)

Conference News
From Carol:
November was a exciting month for Callahans conference. Many new faces
were seen and a couple of legends from the past stopped in for a
blessing. Tim, Jayj and KT debated the use of cotton in clothing
all the while JP stood to serinade the crowd with "oh when those
cotton balls get rotten you can't pick very much cotton in them
oooooooold cotton fields back home"
Tim joined in with the dobro as everyone made plans to attend KT's first
piano recital. Good Luck KT !! Shortly the ragtime band broke out in
full blossum. Tim did the Nawleans strut and played the trombone as JP
pranced around playing "As the Saints go Marching In!"
1stknight(BlueSteel4) returned after a long haitus for a long over due
blessing. Jenn, _3RDDAN, gave the guys some insight about Las Vegas...
Seems JP lost his shirt but he had no complaints and we are still
wondering why the guys call it Lost Wages :)
Bee told us she's taken a new job.. one with more secuity and better
benefits.. Congratulation on you new job Bee !
Peter came in chat after a poetry session and gave Bee and Tim lessons
on how to perform perfect Beat poetry. Peters tried and true method...
write them on your hand then when you forget something , make a
dramatic gesture and read them... LOL.. With our lousy memories we
would look like a bunch of geese taking off in flight. <g>> and
if that doesn't work Peter also suggested we wave like the queen -
at least you will get every other line.
Puns begin to fly after a straight line of "we all have titanic
memories" and Cy still worSHIPS Tim. :) Linna(linna10) stopped
in for an early chat... She has become a regular in late nights Welcome
Linna !
Tim and Carol launched a pie fight in chat.... What made the event even
funnier was Sue was in the room and really helped out with the cause ...
Go Sue Go !!
Delphi was down for the first punday of Nov... :( But low and behold -
the next punday made up for it and then some.....
We had a flash from the past when the merry ninja's and his band taking
rest in the rafters.... Gaijin first came to callahans back in 1998
while in college and life took him away from Callahans... We all hope
he can find his way back more often... Welcome back, Gaijin !

Joke of The Month
Clues The Dog is in Charge!
You bought a bigger bed so that the dog could have
more leg room.
You never forget to kiss your dog before you
leave the house; the same, however, cannot be
said of your disgruntled spouse.
You introduce yourself to every dog you meet
as, "(Your dog's name) mamma/pappa."
Your dog's wardrobe is as large as yours.
You let your dog have canine guests over; in
fact, you insist on his socialization.
You tell your dog secrets you wouldn't share
with your psychiatrist.
You watch TV sitting on the floor, so that the
dog can sit on the couch behind you and rest
his chin on your shoulder for a good view.

Pun of the Month
"Philosophy of Poetry"
I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but one
thing's sure -- it was poultry in motion
- Maus (GREYMAUS2)
Poem of the Month -
"Upon a Blue Horse"
Upon a blue horse she rode
flaxen hair flowing fair in the wind
on a search of life and love.
For beasts about, a sight to fear
but for the true of heart
a sight to hold dear.
He bows to his maiden as she gallops to
his flanks and of his countenance she
drinks, and to the horizon they ride
upon a blue horse.

Closing Quote
"I don't think I'll get married again. I'll just find
a woman I don't like and give her a house."
