MFS BULLETIN Volume Three -- Whole Number Thirteen -- Number one Rod Allen, On a pass, took off to Los Angeles to see Phil Bronson & Morrie Dollens at their new address. Later on, all went over to Maxie Rosenblum's Cafe, Where Rod, among other things, got Maxie's autograph. --j1g A fellow in Florida, who claims to be a member of the Flying Tigers, and has seen action in most parts of the world, wrote Brackney after seeing his letter in the January issue of Astounding. Seems the fellow was missing several issues of Grey Lensman and Galactic Patrol, and wanted to borrow them for a while, Also happened to remark that he'd picked up a stray issue of Astounding in -- India! [Underlined] --j1g Last Saturday I entered my room, thinking that Christmas was over, but was I wrong! There accumbent the bed was a beautiful, large, nerve-shattering package. What was in it?, I thought, a present, a bomb, [Snulbug?] Well, with shaking hands I lovingly lifted the parcel in my shaking digits. From Jack Weidenbeck - aha - we must have something here. The package was quite voluminous but was extremely light, so then I thought, a joke, a Christmas joke - but was it a joke? No, no, a thousand times no. I opened the it and dived into layers and layers of paper. But there was something inside, something wonderful. For nestling amidst all the superflous paper was a beauti-fully wrapped package, and what do you think was in there? SNULBUG. Yes, SNULBUG, SNULBUG all framed under glass and [everstuff?]. Was I elated. Really, it was a repro of Snulbug, beautifully done, about 8" x 10", complete with glass and beautiful frame, and even the wire to hang it up. Needless to say I was overjoyed and jumped up to the chandelier and swung back and forth and floated about on a cloud for about an hour. Then horror of horrors, what do you think happened? I missed my train. But why should I care about an old train-- I had SNULBUG. But my joy was short-lived. As I was looking at Snulbug his lips moved - yes, actually moved. A PICTURE COME TO LIFE. The lips puckered and an amber stream squirted right into my puss. Then Snulbug spoke: "There, darn you, you will laugh, laugh because I happened to be marooned on some jerk's kidney." --Walt Liebscher I want to take the opportunity to thank all you kind people who sent me xmas or New Year Greeting cards. Much appreciated! --j1g There are two versions of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam in PocketBook form on the market. This is, 2 separate PocketBooks - totally dif-ferent. But both are excellent...The one contains the last and fifth versions, and the other all five. The 1st contains some beautiful illustrations by Gordon Rose - more fantastic and eerie than most of those in Weird. The other is illustrated by EJSullivan - very good, but not quite up to the other. -- j1g
