*SNAP* *SNAP* "Yes?" I'll have the Red Beans and Rights, please. Generous helpings, too… I'm going to need it. Please send the cocktail waitress when you get the chance. "May I help you, sir?" Yes. See Mr. Gibson over near the window? "The one who appears to be mutating?" Yes. Be so kind as to bring me a Coke and put it on his tab. He owes me one.

You'll now find a broad range of Elvis' music… including his latest (I did it on the) "I-Way" from the DUETS II Album with Frank Sinatra. Enjoy! The Management of John's Joint -= We aim to please. =-

Dear management, Thanks for the additional Elvis selections on the juke box. With all the country music stinking up the airwaves and music stores, its nice to know some people still have a soul. On a related topic, I would like to suggest an addition to your menu. Back in '91 Elvis hipped me to the donut scene. I quote: "Boys, let us take a minute now to reflect upon donuts. Those waxen, flaxen beacons of donutty goodness. The hole-in-the-middle food, group; the rockin' around food group." A friend and I found that by putting donuts on the antenna of "the rig," we were not only keeping in closer contact telepathically with The King on our 5,000 mile roadtrip, but we instantly became travelling ambassadors of goodwill to all local, state and federal law enforcement agents we encountered (which is important when packing heat and videotaping). When you hit a critical speed, the donuts will magically lift from the hood, and begin to rise up the antenna. Alternating powdered sugar covered with chocolate gives a pleasing effect. Use the mini-donut variety, they'll usually stay on longer. One batch lasted from Seaside, OR to Elko, NV, until a pack of wild, theiving dogs devoured them. Another batch lasted from Elko to Fargo, ND, even after a nasty run-in with a squirrel and a swarm of bees. Paul S. -=Have a donut on me=-

"Ahem. Sir. The tears…. they fall from your eyes. Perhaps zere are… too many un-yuns in zee CyberSalad? I will talk to zee Chef!" Thanks for the Bousquet of flowers, David. They make a lovely table setting. I'm glad you enjoyed your meal. It's always a pleasure to see you. Here. Have a couple of Angela's Cybercookies. Pass 'em out to your friends. Kevin Gibson

"Always a pleasure to see you, sir. Here's your coffee. And a complimentary CyberCookie." Hi ya, Mr. Computer Animator News. Glad you dropped in. I've been meaning to call you about an idea we're tossing around here regarding the upcoming holiday season. We're thinking of passing out special treats to our regular customers for Christmas. Our leaning is towards your world famous "Honey GLAZEd C.A.N.ned Hams." Heck, I'd recommend them to anyone looking for that perfect holiday gift. Lissen. I gotta run. Delivery truck just pulled up out back. I'll send you an invite when we open the place for dinner. We're still working on the menu. You really should try the Red Beans and Rights. They're very filling. Kevin Gibson Animation Nation <tm> -= And we're always glad you came. =-
