OK. Here it is. Once and for all. The History of the Muffins ...
Once upon a time, I posted this to the list: http://www.developer.be/paste/DspPaste.cfm?id=944 Then Gel posted this in reply: >>| From: Angél Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>| 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: >>| From: Angél Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>| Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 >>| >>| 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: >>| From: Angél Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>| Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 3:02 PM >>| Subject: RE: The sitaution with the p3 Orion in China >>| >>| You were a SPY!!?? >>| AND WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU DONE!?? >>| >>| *pokes him in the tummy with a pink haired TROLL doll* >>| >>| OUT with IT! >>| >>| We have ways to make you talk! >>| *eyes Erika with the arsenic and a fresh muffin* >>| >>| Fraulein Erika!

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 ;) Here he shares his breakfast ... Or does he ... ? >>| From: Angél Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>| Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 1:13 PM >>| Subject: *pulls out muffins* >>| >>| It is early in the morning and I remembered I have to share >>| these out to people.. but I don't quite remember who.. let >>| me check my message history. >>| >>| ooooh look..a blueberry. >>| *munch* *munch* *munch* >>| >>| Hmm..I forget I have the messages from yesterday at home >>| since I didn't come out to work yesterday..
