<HTML>Wilfred doesn't remember having been felt by anyone he doesn't know. But then again, Wilfred often has trouble remembering where he is. I actually think he has fallen out of a parallel universe where penguins have evolved to metabolise inconceivable quantities of alcohol, since he appears to be perfectly healthy. The big question, which I've never yet satisfactorily managed to answer, is: where on earth does he get the stuff?</HTML>

<HTML>Though Lyle Lovett did do a splendid song called 'Penguins',
I don't go for fancy cars
For diamond rings
Or movie stars
I go for penguins
Oh Lord I go for penguins
Throw your money out the door
We'll just sit around
And watch it snow
I go for penguins
Oh Lord I go for penguins
Penguins are so sensitive
Penguins are so sensitive
Penguins are so sensitive
To my needs
Most odd. I do like Lyle.</HTML>

<HTML>You know, that's quite a lot like some of Wilfred's poetry...</HTML>

<HTML>Does Wilfred have a shockingly bad hairdo and a face like someone has parked a bus on it? If so, then he IS Lyle.
Actually, I've never seen them both in the same room at the same time....

<HTML>No, he's got a little tuft on the top of his head which is usually pretty neat, and he has a face like, er, someone who's just seen something very bizarre indeed.</HTML>

<HTML>I saw an accidental chat up occur in Edinburgh: a mate of mine was 'dancing' in a club when two 'girls' walked over to dance, he turned round and said "Evening Ladies" and that was it one of the girls was all over him like a rash and we didn't see him again until lunchtime the next day! He said he was only being polite.
I also noticed Everton being in the top 3 of the pemiership - now that really is bizarre!</HTML>

<HTML>I'd love to join you folks for lunch next Thursday, but I'm afraid my lunch hour isn't long enough for the drive to the airport and the transatlantic flight (even if I could afford the Concorde). Not to mention being 5 hours later than yours in any case.

<HTML>I could alway eat ramen noodles for lunch that day, I suppose. Of course, to be at the same time as you folks, I would have to have them at breakfast time, but then again I've had far worse things for breakfast.
If I'm home, my soft Pickwick could even join me (as could my parrot, who rather likes noodles).</HTML>

<HTML>Hey Magda,
Dave's on to something...since we're about 5 hours behind them, we could eat Ramen noodles for breakfast and feel like we were being part of it. Although, I think I'm going to have to go buy some other flavor than the Hot Chili Pepper flavor we currently have stocked. There are just some things I can't do for breakfast!</HTML>
