[GSAS-board] [GSAS-Member] FW: Hello From Sasquatch (fwd)

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Ah, Sasquatch again.  Always fun to see him around.  For the new folks on 
the list, Sasquatch has been infamous for (a) showing up 1/3 the way 
through our 2001 plant auction and bidding on every item in the place, 
then trying to sell it all back the next day (presumably when he came down 
off whatever it was he was on?); (b) showing up, again right in the middle 
of a meeting out of the blue, sitting down next to me in the audience with 
a large sack; while the speaker was talking, he opened up the sack, 
revealing a full-sized python (or similar large snake), and asked "you 
think it'd be OK to take it out?" without skipping a beat, I quietly said 
"No, I don't think that would be appropriate here."  (c) driving Susan and 
Rick batty over where his entry in the database was and how to make his 
name tag.


if you like digging in archives, here are some relevant threads:

   (I especially like Rick's inadvertant humor in the statment "He already
    has a record.")


Flying Fish Aquariums was a one-man company that made the most bizarre 
tanks you've ever seen.  I have a "prototype" of one of their more 
"boring" designs, a simple tube, in my living room.  The more wild were 
the "MC Escher", which had a looping tube that went up over the top of the 
tank, and the aforementioned castle design "King Arthur".  I wish we had a 
photo gallery of them.
