**Long Time First Time** has been interviewed for an article which may soon appear in Oprah Winfrey’s magazine _O_. I’m not sure in which month the relevant issue will be published, but rumor has it that Oprah’s picture will be on the cover. ---

[QUOTE=Nava] Nu-hu… she’s from one of those places that are more Southern than thou (I’m not sure which one right now and fear she may dissect me if I pick the wrong one) and lives in Colorado. But the lab where she was working last has disintegrated due to the head of the lab heading up north. [/QUOTE] I wish her well wherever she hangs her hat.

[QUOTE=gardentraveler] The name **pulykamell** is Hungarian. Rumor has it it means chicken breast. [/QUOTE] Rumor is close, but not quite. “Pulyka” = “turkey.” “Mell” = “breast.” Ergo, “turkey breast.” I don’t actually like turkey very much (except on Thanksgiving), and I’m a dark meat kinda guy, so go figure. There is no significance to the name other than, when I lived in Hungary, pulykamell in infinite variations was curiously a staple on many Hungarian menus. ---

I also have very few distinctions, Board wise. Dang it. **Fenris** is wicked good at comic books stuff, and is one of the few folks I’ve crossed paths with who have read as much Heinlein crap as I have. **Snoooopy** gives good deadpan funny, and didn’t like **Zenster** very much. **psycat90** is quiet, and attractive, and drove a REALLY long way for a horrible dopefest. ---
