flam 11 hi. in this issue there is a story from dip. he is a wonderful writer. but first, please donate to the "Mogel Cofozes Disorder Foundation" this wonderful cause gives money to research for the devestating Cofozes Disorder and is named for one if it's victims. ok. here is a story. *(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(* the bird by dip once apon a time there was a magnificent bird. it had gold wings and purple eyes. its feet were yellow with black spots and its tail was bright green. its name was "Dirb". it is a very ware bird, indeed. the last sighting of one was over 330,780,429,782 years ago. no one knows if there are any left deep in the suberbs of southern californea. but scientists have not given up hope. they say that even though these birds have absolutly NO social skills...and cannot fly or hunt for food or defend them selves, there is still a slight chance for survival. others are skeptical, a mister robert marten claims that there is no way one could still be living in the outskirts of places such as Pasadena, "i have lived here all my life, aye, andhave yet to see one, aye, and i go walking all the time, aye, and look up in the trees, aye, where birds would be, aye, so, aye, no, aye, i don;t see at as a posibillity, aye." "but mister marten, the Dirb cannot fly, how would it get up in the trees?" "Aye!" so, as you can see there is much debate as to the extinction of this rare treasure, the Dirb. -Dip, reporting *(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(*(* hmm. save the next little Mogel. goodbye.
