From: pjie2@hermes.cam.ac.uk (Peter Ellis) Newsgroups: alt.fan.pratchett Subject: Meet Report for AFPCam 5.0 (now renamed AFP Silly-Chocolate-Things 1.1 beta) Date: Sun, 15 Mar 1998 15:11:38 GMT Message-ID: <3515e6ad.155191347@nntp-serv.cam.ac.uk> Your humble narrator turned up at the meet a good 20 minutes before the appointed time, bearing copious quantities of Maya Gold -- only to be greeted by the ever-fanatical Holyoake gestalt, along with a certain Darren and a Maurice Bloch, who were even *earlier*. This necessarily meant that the chocolate was the source of much Temptation for the next several minutes; however its siren song was resisted until the very stroke of seven, when the feasting did commence. Oxonians arrived, bearing an APF sign. More and more chocolate began to arrive as various other afpers brought their imaginations along (Carol, you are a very, very, very twisted person -- WYMM?) Many cuddly toys occurred as well -- special marks to the Damerell for discovering the One True Use for a Spice Girl doll. Studded leather collars and chains were in evidence among the more... adventurous of the bunch. The holy ppint. turned up and obeisance was made, notwithstanding the fact the said ppint. does not believe in ppint. Loriba's T-shirt was signed, and Rob proved his ergonomicality by using *all* the different coloured pens in one simple signature. Several afpbetrothals occurred, and yhn discovered (to his shock) that he was Suzi's son, brother, father and afpfiancee simultaneously. It was proved that Gid is *not* the fastest drinker on afp... *VOM* cards existed, and became necessary at a few points in the proceedings -- inexplicably involving LNR a goodly proportion of the time... Following large amounts of talking, brunellobibendation, cider, Guinness and other tipples, as well as copious chocolate, a fair proportion of the meet headed currywards (a potentially nasty situation being defused with particular ppint.ian tact -- many thanks!), following which we wended our weary wandering ways to our respective homes, happy in the knowledge that Cam. had been well and truly AFPed, and that the God of Chocolate was placated. ________________________________________________________________________ Those Present: Peter Ellis, Dictator in Chief (Muahahahaha!) Gid/Suzi, LNR Darren Maurice Bloch Lottie "Loriba" Barber Selina Lock (+Claire, +Bryan, +Barry, +Alan) Owen Evans Tom Pearson Linz Rob (the Ergonomist) rjk@greenend.org.uk The Damerell The Wednesday Chris/Ranma Becky Alex (Young?) Matt Bloch Andrew Mobbs Ben Chalmers PTom ... and the holy (wholly?) ppint. __________________________________________________________________ The Litany of CC-Things Chocolate CCCB (Dark, milk and white choc. versions) Papaya Dates Grapes(x3, one version onna stick) Crunchy dried banana Fresh banana Cape gooseberries Marshmallows onna stick Raisins Pistachio nuts ... and the weird stuff ... Fennel Sprouts (x2) Mushrooms (x2) Carnations Sausagemeat (surprisingly tasty...) Twiglets, Cheese (Stilton?) Broccoli Hot Chillies (Carol, you are evil -- *please* marry me) ... and the piece de resistance ... A copy of MORT, covered in clingfilm and cc-ed. Prizes are awarded to Carol (for overall unsurpassability and perfectitude) and Loriba (for the first ever cc Brassica) I award the following tokens, redeemable for a *vom*, a *snog*, or a *pint* (No, not a ppint.) at the Con or the next AFPCam...cut out and keep... _______________________________________ | | | AFP Silly-Chocolate-Things 1.1 beta | | | | PRIZE TOKEN | | | | (not to be used for leopard-baiting) | |______________________________________| _______________________________________________________________________ Quotes: (rjk has a list, as has Loriba -- everyone please add to these) The Out Of Context: LNR: "I'm sure I can fit *him* in here..." LNR: "I think I can fit afp in there..." LNR: "Now *that's* worth a whole bar of chocolate" PETER: "I've only ever scored once in my life, and that was from the wrong end" ... and the Downright Bizarre: PETER: "Oi! Everyone! This is a recognisable duck!" Hmmmmmm. It seems I can only remember quotes from myself and LNR... come on, *someone* else must have said unwise things last night... ________________________________________________________________________ Anyway, that appears to be all for now, so this is your humble narrator signing off... Peter P.S. I'm off home tomorrow and will be losing afpcess -- if anyone adds to this meet report, could they please cc: it to me at pjie2@hermes.cam.ac.uk, otherwise I'll never find out what *else* happened last night...
