He's also, (and I quote Courtney, who usually thinks boys came from the
other side of the universe) "Soooooooooooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!!!"

I think that gargolyes are cool too, but I wouldn't go THAT far . . . (and
you're getting this from the girl who daydreams about SK during classes at
school . . .) <G>

Do it. They're very good. But then, I say that about a lot of books. (Anyone
want a list? Just kidding.) Intresting about whatcha did 'bout Sauraman--tho
I wasn't too fond of his character in LotR.

Whoa . . . when did *that* happen? Hello? B-Ko? What's goin' on in that
crazy head o' yours?

Not exactly *that* far . . . I was thinking of taking the characters like
Hazel, Fiver (Fiver! I like him . . . he's my favorite.) etc. and changing
them from rabbits into kats. And since Fiver's the visionary type with a
lotta cryptic prophecies . . . right up my alley! <G>

Ahhhh, why not? Sure! I've got another holiday coming up this Friday, (But
you can e-mail me before then) and we can work it out. But what I really
meant by "using your ideas" was Can I use your idea of mixing the Lapine
(RA's word, not mine) and kat culture. I may develop my own set of myths and
that sorta junk for my kats universe. (Run for cover, everybody!!) And
anyway, besides SK and AR, I am a big fan of superstition, mythology, and
the supernatural. (THAT explains my fascination with AR . . .) <RBG>

BTW, DJ, from now on, let's keep this off the list. Some of the others might
get pissed at this extra stuff. But then, I could be wrong. It is known to
have happened before, many a time in the past. <G>
