So, life at Delphi has become a challenge.... I'm frustrated, but not yet ready to admit defeat! -- Cstar- commenting on the Delphi's newest format change. I must apologize for the dearth of News this month. I have been very busy at work - but there is light at the end of the tunnel and I can begin to ketchup now..
Our big news this month is the appointment of Carrie (CARRIEO) as our newest tender. *And* that she will host a Monday Night conference called, "Another Monday." We are very grateful to her for helping us make Callahan's special magic available to all. Please be sure to let her know how grateful *you* are to her, too! Welcome to staff, Carrie - we know you'll enjoy it here..:) Poetry posting remained strong this month as well as some discussion about the NATO bombings in Yugoslavia. Birthday Greetings were heartily extended to:
The first three correct solvers of Sue's December 1998 Riddle were Mikel, Thomas Hinda and Gwen. Congratulations to all. It's a lot easier to create a riddle than to solve one. We're always on the lookout for help with content here so send us your riddle creations today! And see our May Day 1999 Riddle for your chance to win a Spider Robinson book from our bookstore! A guy is walking down the street and sees a tavern with a sign reading "Word Bar" in the window. He walks in and sees a woman behind the counter. He asks, "What's that sign "Word Bar"mean? She says, "Exactly what it says - we've got verbs, prepositions, hyperbole, punctuation - whatever you want." "Ok", says the guy - "let me have an entendre!" "Single or double?", she asks. "Make it a double!" She raises one eyebrow and looks him up and down with a sly grin and says, "Don't you mean a LARGE one?" -- from Lou

From birth's first breath, -- JP April 2,1999 That reminds me of a flight I took (in my imagination) not too long ago. I had only been on the plane a few moments when a well dressed passenger sat next to me. For the several minutes until take off he kept inhaling loudly and sighing. Used to people nearly as strange as myself I ignored him. Shortly after take off he started to get agitated. Each inhalation seemed to turn the corners of his mouth down another notch. Finally he called the flight attendant over to complain. "Madam" he said politely "what happened to the wonderful smell that was here when I boarded?" The stewardess denied any that any special perfumes or incense was used. Quite the opposite, the ventilation system was designed to offend as few people as possible by being as odorless as possible. The perfumer, as he called himself, insisted that there had been a lovely fragrance to the air when he had sat down, and the more she denied it, the more insistent he became. Finally, aggravated beyond her training she left, but had the final word when she said, "Sir, I'll be happy to help you as soon as you quit smelling plane non-scents." -- Mikel PEWTERPOT - in a 4/19/99 post The will to be free either exists in the human heart or all the money in the world cannot put it there. -- Douglas MacArthur Joining Delphi is easy and FREE.
