xxii fanfare THEIR OWN PETARD FROM "SATURNIAN OCCURANCE" IN "SUN SPOTS" VOLUME 5, NO. 2 "Finally a famous Earth scientist of the time conceived a gun, which, he said would cause gasses to clash together and form and explosion. -- It was first tired out on the planet Saturn -- it fired into the air to cause the explosion. the people who took part in the firing of the gun were all killed, for the gun didn't cause what what they had expected. It was fired. Gases began to clash together. They exploded. Everyone within fifty miles of the area was killed. ---" The underlining is mine. What-in-hell did the people expect? The scientist said the gases would clash and explode. The gun was hired -- the gasses clashed -- they exploded. What more was expected? An exhibition of sky writing? Or perhaps a chorus of the Hut Sut Song. But I guess that's too much to ask for a gun that was "tired out on the planet." FROM "THE FAPA FAN" APRIL 1941 "THE READER & COLLECTOR --- That sibilation in STIRRING caught us cold, though. And we thought we had been watching against that. My word!! Don't tell me, Don, that my anti-hissing campaign is having some effect in the pro field. Hot Ziggety!! Maybe I'm hot stuff. FROM "FIRE-POWER" BY GOTTESMAN IN "COSMIC STORIES" July 1941 "Bartok" hissed Voss ---" Whaddya mean, Editor Wollheim --- "we had been watching against that"? Guess you've confined your watching(?) to STIRRING, eh what? That one was too easy. I'm "two up" on you, Don. FROM "DOC SAVAGE CLUB" "There are hazy records of waterspouts a mile high and reaching a height of a mile." Scott Perdue reported on that one. It's damned lucky thing for our arithmetic books that the mile-high waterspout reached a height of a mile, ain't it? FROM "FANART'S ARTISTE OF THE MONTH" IN "FANART" VOLUME 1, NO. 1 "Later on I got myself in a worse rut trying to be an artist; a thing I've always regretted. Now there seems to be no escape. Either I must go on or revert to opium." If you have the welfare of your fellow fans at heart, Roy my boy, you'll do the latter. 'Cause if you keep on going the way you have been, the rest of fandom will probably take up the pipe."
