Argon Recent Events
  I'd be a pretty poor editor if I didn't recognize and make some comment on recent events.  Although these events had no physical effect on SpinDizzy, it certainly made us think.  Some of us came to SpinDizzy from places other than the U. S. and they too are shocked and disheartened by the attacks.  It's been a topic of discussion and contemplation for us all.  

Although how we should react has been a topic of debate, all agree that it was a cowardly and mindless act, and has made us realize how tenuous our belief in the safety and sanctity of America is.  I could add some 'Liberty and justice standing together God bless America' stuff, but I think those who need that support have gotten plenty of it.  I think now we should let those who survived and the families of those who didn't grieve quietly and make their own peace with what has happened.

Argon Weekly Survey
  Argon asked in this week's survey, "I'm doing a survey to be published in @Action News. Who on SpinDizzy, other than yourself, has the best sense of humor?"
Dellway chrrphisses, "Austin.  No bribery was ever involved."
Kendra yips, "Well, my second choice would be me, but Maxl's pretty sharp on wit.  I'd say he's a strong forerunner of humor."
Royce chirrs, "Could be Findra. She didn't seem too upset about Flutterz and I talking about using her for crayfish bait last night. She thought we were kidding.  Though Austin came to mind first, but unfortunately most of the time I have no idea what he's talking about, but pretty sure it would be funny if I did.
Gilead chirps, "I guess Boki. He might be a laughing gull. In any case, eating fish causes a good sense of humor. :-)
PatchO'Black mews, "Yes. I pick Austin."
Reiter says, "Actually, I'm going to have to go with Morty. Yes sure he's evil and all, but he's funny as heck nonetheless."
Mavra says, "Well, I am not sure if I have the best sense of humor, but I think that Morticon's pretty funny with all of those 'schemes' to take over SD."
Stars'_Pyre telempathy-sings, "I searched my logs for laughs and giggles, I would say that Ping tops the charts, followed by Cobalt, both primarily for contextual humour, and then Boki and Gast for one-liners, like, respectively, "Oh ho! Is is twenty five centaurs to the quartet!", and "PING LIKES TO MAKE PIZZA, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, AND I THINK YOU DO.""
Gino signs "I am not one to ask..I'm not intimate with many furs her...However I do think that Lavender has a deliciously odd sense of humor."
Eris says, "Maxl. ^.^"
Tarka blinks... "Wots a sense of humor? Hummm.... Morticon."
Mouser hisses, "Well, I think I'd have to vote for Morticon. He's one of the few folks here who really tries to make this place funny."Suri raises an eyebrow. "He also signs Mouser's paycheck..."Mouser hisses, "I get a paycheck?"
Gina_Doberman says, "I'd say Austin Dern, but only cause I know him from FM!"
Rown says, "well, there's no doubt in my mind who has the best sense of humor here. It's Morticon, because every plan he makes to overthrow Spindizzy always becomes a comical fiasco. :-)"
AlexRaccoon speaks, "Morticon as far as I can see. Or me. :>"
Suri says, "Probably Max. Our senses of humor are very compatible, I think."
A Fly On The Wall Bunny Escapes Becoming Fish Food
  Findra, local bunny, found herself being invited on a fishing trip along with Royce, local raccoon.  Findra found Royce's remarks concerning how crayfish and bass liked bunnies, and how the fishing trip would be a great success intriguing,.  Royce urged Findra not to tell anyone she was going with him, and to be sure to come alone.  When Findra asked why, Royce told her too many folks would scare the fish away.  Findra soon decided to decline the invitation when Royce slipped and mentioned that the big fish liked bunnies as bait!
Another Fly Heritage Memory Lapse
  Argon, local centaur, embarrassed himself in the Rose Garden Friday.  While chatting with folks there, Argon was watching the battery powered TV he has in his pocket.  He's got a lot of stuff in that vest he wears.  He was commenting on a program where the choir was singing The Battle Hymn of the Republic.  Argon, in a some what excited manner, expressed joy that they were singing the anthem of 'The South', as he calls it.  He always capitalizes 'The South', he is quite proud of being a southerner.  He can tell you all about how he is not proud of parts of it's history, but is proud of it's hospitality, relaxed attitudes, etc.  Ask him about it sometime.

Argon, proud southerner that he is found himself embarrassed when Suri, local lemur reminded him that the anthem of the Confederacy was 'Dixie'.  Argon is preparing for brain surgery later this week to improve his memory.

@Action News Info Guidelines and Procedure for Submitting Articles
  Submitting a story or artwork for @Action News is easy!  Just send it to newspaper@spindizzy.org, or qmail or page Argon about it.

Most any type of story or article will be excepted.  Generally, we'd prefer things that aren't out and out lies or flames about other folks, and have a basis in the reality of SpinDizzy.  The things reported don't have to have actually happened, (Any more than anything that happens here does.) but make sure you don't overstep the social boundaries and rules of interaction that we have.  These are pretty broad guidelines, but we expect good sense to apply. 

Thanks!
