(JD) Minicult: Latest Blue Oyster Cult release has a spoken intro by Stephen King.

(SG) Minicult: The CIA is checking up on its own activities during the era with Bush as head. William Baker stated: "In a general way, we try to anticipate some of your questions, so I can respond no comment with some degree of knowledge." Robert Gates, deputy intelligence chief, explained it affects his inflection.

(BPS) Cornelia Otis: Ed Meese. The special prosecutor's report both totally vindicates him and is a disgrace.

(BPS) The last Playboy Club is closed. The 44 page handbook for bunnies said "Your bunny tail is your proudest possession. Make sure to keep it white and fluffy at all times."

(SG) Motion to give Christine Hefner a white and fluffy banana.

Motion seconded. Passes many-not as many-a small barnyard +Spehn.
