NOTE: This is from my archive of mail from the mailing list of people who
worked at the Drew computer Center. This one is full of in-jokes about the
people who worked there at the time, but might still have some humor value
to people who don't know any of the little peculiarities of the Ops back
then. If you who are reading this happen to be someone who worked at the
Computer Center during the spring of 1992, see how many of these people you
can remember and what the joke means for each.

Subj: The sacred Easter Moose

Neil, while the Easter Moose is a very important creature, there are other
beings we might see on Easter...

The Easter Joe -- Will have made duplicate copies of eggs the night before,
drop the originals out the window, but will have forgotten to boil the
backup eggs first, and thus the ink runs partially when he tries to boil
them, which takes all the burners up and takes forever.

The Easter Kean -- Have you seen his tan?

The Easter Murrell -- Hides Nintendo cartridges.

--Mike

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now, here are some new Easterbeings for 1992. By the way, no offense
intended if none taken.

The Easter Whaple -- forgets who gets the eggs.

The Easter Paul -- throws the eggs at you.

The Easter Deanna -- wants her eggs dyed exactly perfectly...one spot and
she screams at you.

The Easter Neil -- just lurks.

The Easter Lorraine -- dyes eggs black and purple.

The Easter Adam -- glues pieces of paper with the word "clueless" to eggs
before breaking them...just BECAUSE.

The Easter Jason -- always dyes the eggs late.

The Easter Beth -- dyes eggs, all the while talking about how bad she is at
it.

The Easter Ray -- looks over your shoulder while you dye eggs.

The Easter Lisa -- is really nice to eggs until she gets to know them; then
she's mean to them.

The Easter Bob -- will eat eggs, but only as a beer snack.

The Easter Mike -- only dyes eggs in the server room.

The Easter Rob -- excuses himself to go smoke an egg.

The Easter Mariusz -- still working on an egg-dyeing algorithm.

The Easter Nick -- will defend to the death an overly complex way of
creating Easter eggs from scratch.

The Easter Scott -- agrees with the Easter Beth that she doesn't know how
to dye eggs.

The Easter Karl -- takes pictures of other people's eggs.

The Easter Tina -- paints the eggs when she's in a good mood, and then gets
mad and breaks them.

The Easter Dave -- enjoys it when his eggs come out better than everyone
else's.

The Easter Paul (Poe, that is) -- won't be delivering eggs due to his
thesis.

The Easter John -- writes letters telling how bad the eggs he has are.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This has been a group effort by Paul, Karl, Tina, and the letter "Q."
