FLUXLIST: Nomad in Ambrosia Part One
Is there a size limit on Fluxlist? It wont seem to accept the story so far so Im trying it in two halves. Part the First Nomad Slasher. An everyday story of Ambrosia for simple country folk.. (Please add to the story wherever you see fit, add your name at the front and post it.) Man Bites Dog 42-page book made of fur, teeth, skin and bones brian, Kathy Forer, Roger Stevens, Michael Leigh, Alan fffo, badgergirl, Carol Starr, Suse, Allan R.,Madawg The Story So Far. Fourteen wolverines and one lap dog chase a badger. But the badgeris too fast and burrows beneath a paintbrush stuck in a stone. In the burrow are mushrooms and grain. The badger makes a broth ambrosia of the green grain and mushrooms and is soon asleep. The badger is dreaming... In the dream there are no wolverines or lap dogs because the badger was really awakened by the artist removing the paintbrush from the stone to begin painting for the morning. Little does the artist realize that the badger is in the burrow. Once, the badger (a strange name for a badger some would say) is reassured as to its safety and breakfast is under way in the burrow; ambrosia of green grain and mushrooms with the added delight of mini arsemallows! The day is going well, the sky in an incoherent blue, but what was is that strange sound? Thunder and a police siren infiltrate his dream, cement mixes drop their distant loads, the clouds are grinning. The badger jumps from his spot thinking his borough has imploded. When he hears the rain on the stone above, he realizes the electricity is still working and so he washes his face and soon falls back deep asleep. Once sleeps. He sleeps and he dreams some more. He dreams of sitting on a five bar gate in Shinaniki Da. It's 1932 and Tom Thumb, the Topsy Turvy talking automaton has just opened the Tough Cough Drop Shop in the village which badger can see from where he sits. The Baked Potato Man wanders by trying to sell his wares. Piping hot King Edwards! he shouts as he wafts the steam from his portable oven perched precariously on one-legged wheel-barrow. Juicy Jerseys covered in ketchup! Badger asks the Baked Potato Man if he has any crispy potato peelings in batter. No, but I have these fine Cheshire New potatoes in gravy. He smiles, proffering the steamy morsel which suddenly grows two eyes and leering mouth and cackles most horribly! Hours later, Once the badger, is awakened by the noise of wood against stone. It is night and the lap dog is yapping. The wolverines have surrounded the stone and are chanting an incantation. The badger doesn't breathe, not a whisker moves. Neither up nor down, although suspense is acrostic. After a paws of several minutes and a tail too long for the telling, the badger quickly whips out his cross-stitched magic asbestos underpants and pulls them on ferociously. Once flings open the serving hatch and grabs the vial of sacred weasel water and makes a mad dash, a kind of crazy underlining really, for the burrow entrance and confronts the seething mass of writhing wolverines squirming around the stone which is now glowing with a strange phosphorescent throb! Ahh, sighs Badger. The wolverines howl with delight. Now read on Chapter One Zonograph Buys A Head It was a dense night. Stumble patterns and brave yapping set apart the party of owl elves and gnome mimics writhed and chased and spurned the undergrowth around the latest beige badger silting. In the brave distance behoves the strange and incandescent foreshadows of wolverines and greenish melon lights upon the substantial forest fare. Young Zonograph, the tallest owl elf snuffed his warps harp and muttered - I can hear a badger. The badger is in trouble. I scents wolverines. Hurry there is no stone unready ton roll upturned in this lackadaisical pre-momentary of the word fandango. Meanwhile, or to be more precisereiouseless, high on hill stood a lonely man with a goathead, his fixedinterestrate stare directeddyboyhoodlesservilely at the burning black belching smokestacks of the town beyond the wolverine woods. The sound of a suddenly snuffeforadicalcified warps harp, brought memories back for Ludwig Hat, erstwhile butler and badger baiterribleedinglendervish of Vincent and Cara Van Hire. Ludwig stood immobile, imshelle and intexacoe, for Ludwig had been brained by falling groceries, dropped from almost a mile overhead and one mile and eight inches over shoulder, a result of the splitting of a cheap carrier pigeon on its way home. Forcing his gaze downward Ludwig was horrified, not only had his part of the story not managed to settle on a definite form, not only did it lack content but now to his disgust he found that he had been rendereducededicateddyboyfriended by a carps tangerine!!! He couldn't even get that right. But when heclosed his eyes, pursed his lips and held his breath, he could see what he had left. Ludwig crossed his eyes and dotted his teeth, relaxed and floated up, through the roof of his
FLUXLIST: Nomad Part Two Help!
I cant seem to post part two of Nomad now. Chapters 5 11. Why is this I wonder? What goes on? Any ideas? Ive sent it twice now and the whole thing three times. Is the Nomad Slasher to blame? XXX Roger
Re: FLUXLIST: Nomad Part Two Help!
---No Roger, I have no idea why you have trouble sending the story. Unrelated probs. here with our ancient PC that keeps crashing and we get messages that say our free memory is low, whatever that is? I've cleaned out tons of files and de-fragged twice but it still keeps telling me i have no space to start a particular software.Yet it was working fine the other day. I really dont understand whats going on. So a pretty typical day here so far! Do you know anyhting about Memory cards? Does anyone? Is it worth updating to a higher or more powerful one? How does one go about it? Should I attempt it myself? I changed a CD-ROM drive once which seemd quite easy. How does it compare? Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: FLUXLIST: Nomad Part Two Help!
Michael, I try to know as little as possible about PCs, Macs are my game, but it's not hard to add Random Access Memory, and I find it an inexpensive enough update to be, er, cost effective in most situations. A CPU upgrade is a bit trickier, and I defer to PC experts whether it's worth it. Recently, with $150 for a Sonnet upgrade, a friend got another year or two on an ancient Mac. Memory on a computer: There's 'thinking' memory or RAM, which is how much the computer can think about at any one time. There's also storage memory or hard drive space, a repository for your written and saved files and for those that execute the commands that run the programs that exist in thinking memory.

I can't find where Yahoo Mail uses text only, but I would Copy the story as you have it and create a new email and Paste it in there.

Re: FLUXLIST: Nomad Part Two Help!
--- Thanks kathy for your words of wisdom. I think it must be a conflict of some kind and maybe not due to memeory atall as the programme i had trouble loading is back on and running perfectly now after hours of defragging and re-booting and deleting files and goodness knows what! a waste of an lovely sunny afternoon! I shall tread carefully over the next few days and see what happens- even a sneeze could sending it all crashing down!

RE: FLUXLIST: Nomad Part Two Help!
Hi Well, I copied it from the incoming e-mail to word Played with it Then copied it on to a fresh e-mail I tried to send it three times. When that failed I sent it in two halves (fearing it had grown too huge) The first half arrived but not the second half. I've tried sending it a couple of times since but to no avail. Also... where is everyone. I've hardly had any Fluxlists the last couple of days. I wonder if it's a general Fluxyproblem and not the Nomad Slasher at all. Hey, Kathy, what if I sent part two to your private e-mail and you tried to post it? Best XXX Roger Ive sent it twice now and the whole thing three times. Is the Nomad Slasher to blame?

why don't we just pass it around via private mails? ...although that means it'll be a little less random, as it'll only go to one person at a a time... unless we do it differentlyerm. i got too confused with the different versions (mind you i get confused trying to work out which shoe to put on first!) alan
FLUXLIST: secret fluxus

Re: FLUXLIST: No! mad! Part Two Help!
--As a rule I put my best foot forward, but which is the best one? they both look equally nice and have toes and everything. The Nomad stories have no toes but and injection of toe-like phenomena might just be the thing to perk them up. Let's put it to a vote- all in favour of toes say Ay!
