The Tale of the Muffin
----------------------
OK.
Here it is.
Once and for all.
The History of the Muffins ...
Once upon a time, I posted this to the list:

/DspPaste.cfm?id=944
Then Gel posted this in reply:
>>| From: Angél Stewart
>>| Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001
>>|
>>| Thank you.
>>| Now I can't eat my blueberry muffins.
>>| *sigh*
Then someone said they didn't eat muffins or bread ... Carbs and all that, blah,
blah, blah ...
So then Gel posted this:

>>| I am slim,trim,and too sexy for carbs to have an effect on me. *runs
>>| fingers through hair* *puffs out chest*
>>|
>>| I can eat whatever I want:
>>| a cheesecake a week and muffins in the morning; and I don't put on a
>>| pound =)
>>|
>>| It always gets women quite annoyed when I announce this, and worse
>>| yet when they find it to be true. ^_^
>>|
>>| *still looking at the muffins and imagining them laced with
>>| arsenic* *sulks at Erika* *munches on an individually wrapped
>>| snickers instead*
Then somewhere down the road Gel posts this:

>>| Fraulein Erika! Bring out the Muffins!

>>| Why are you looking at my pink frilly skirt like that?
>>| Did you not hear the women on the list want to unite?
>>| So Fine..we will all be women now until they calm down...

our very own master punmeister ... Benny!

The very first post offering a muffin to a newcomer/lurker ...

>>| People, we have a lurker! A lurker on the Babble List!

>>| good coffee for Jen, and, and an apple for Python,....and, and an

And this just started becoming a shared community joke amongst all the die-hards
.... With others throwing muffins or baking muffins. Favorite flavors were
Blueberry then Banana ... Somewhere along they we brought out the cast iron
muffin pan as a weapon ... Though this was some time after President Todd and
Gel broke the aluminium one ... So I decided we needed something indestructible.
I was so involved in the list on a watchful day to day basis, I came to
recognize whether people had posted before or not ... So I started pouncing on
newcomers and lurkers ... Bringing FULL ATTENTION to their first words and
welcoming them with muffins....
Gel is ALWAYS around to tweak an earlobe or three ;)
