He's not even a Frühead (as will soon be crystal clear)! He dreamt that he and a bunch of my friends got together and decided that they needed to _wean_ me from Moxy Früvous! Meanwhile, there was an evil Moxy Früvous conspiracy trying to suck me back. Jian was the leader of the conspiracy, which consisted of people who acted all nice but in reality were nefarious Moxy Früvous members and supporters. AMMF'ers, are you guys these nefarious folks??? ...I still can't believe this friend had a dream with Jian in it! Later on, in real life, after he told me about his dream, we were in a group talking about a brain tumor which I had removed a few years ago. It was in my frontal lobe, which is where personality originates. This "friend" of mine said that instead of removing the tumor, the doctor removed my personality and replaced it with Moxy Früvous. Ha ha. Zainab I have a personality, I swear! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Feb 1999 00:37:43 GMT From: Juliette Lexington Subject: Frusier Hi, all! Wow. Long time, no post from me. Anyhoo, I happened upon some Frucontent last night. I was watching 'Frasier,' and Niles said of his lawyer, "He's about to show us the full *moxy*." What's so funny about this is that Monique suggested that Fruvous title their new album 'The Full Moxy.' :) Yours in hyperness, Juliette p.s.

You know, I WOULD be, except that the Evil Empire (aka TCI Cable) has it so that we only get VH1 until 6pm, at which point it becomes Comedy Central. I think that just MAYBE we could lose "Court TV" so that I could get both channels all the time. Hmmmm?

Well, I think it really depends on locale. I mean, I'm sure in Seattle I could find em, but my guess is that in Salt Lake City, you'd be hard pressed. I'm thinking there are a bunch of stores in New York which would have em. I've never heard of these Seder Sour Balls (I don't think), but I have heard of matzoh marshmallows, and I WANT!

Both have excellent harmonies, though BNL hasn't featured them as much since their early CD's. Though as also a long-time BNL fan, who has seen both bands live, I gotta say MF is heads and shoulders above BNL. > I don't have any of the albums...yet...So >I'd love for someone to give me some feedback on which one might be the best >one for a new listener to test out. =) Definitely "Live Noise". Much better at capturing the spirit of a live MF show than "Rock Spectacle" represent a BNL show. Where "Rock Spectacle" is mainly their hits live with the stage banter, etc. relegated to tacked on hidden tracks at the end, "Live Noise" feels more like a live show. One word of warning: where BNL has made a conscious decision not to curse on stage, MF has no such restriction and the 'F' word is liberally sprinkled throughout "Live Noise" (just in case that kind of language offends you). >Thanks. > >--Leigh > >"...woo hoo hoo..." -BnL ------------------------------ Date: 20 Feb 1999 02:11:35 GMT From: bbwminors@aol.com (BBWMinors) Subject: Re: dares Hey, we have something BETTER than marshmallow peeps (though admittedly NOTHING is better than Cadbury) ... we have CHAROSES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I'll make some, actually. Taste-o-rama. >Also, there are few things yummier than matzoh with butter. I'm gonna have to say that matzoh with havarti cheese is, perhaps, a teense better.
