Subject: Acka: Well, someone needs to keep creating treasures

I bury "A Rather Easy Treasure", "JT's Barrel of Monkeys", and "A mirror
#1" as a treasure and release the following clue (which has some relation
to the actual map) to it's whereabouts.

Subject: Acka: GBS and _Another Treasure_ :)

I select a GBS as my ephemeral gadget. I pull the harfy lever.

I bury all of the prosthetic foreheads I am not wearing as a treasure (6
of em) and ask "What did I do Today (11/10/98)" - Its in the newspapers
and I live in Melbourne.

Subject: Acka: nothing important ... only your DOOM

[Warning: contains scaremongering only]

hasn't anyone noticed how long it's been since we've had any proposals? do i
have to think of everything around here? in the name of the evil ballot
stuffer, you people (and other miscellaneous entities and non-entities)
would let us slide into the stinking quagmire of perpetual moribundity (is
that a word? shutup you fool and no one will notice) without even a squeak.
in fact, i'm beginning to get the impression that you Ackans _enjoy_ sitting
back and letting this precious game of ours crash into the inescapable
quantum singularity (that's "black hole" for all you sane people who don't
watch star trek) that is a static rule set.

so, i'm warning you, shake things up a little! or you'll still be burying
treasure when they're hooking you up to your catheter.

and where's breadbox gone? my guess is that he's been engorged and consumed
by some kind of sentient red goop bent on world domination and the
compulsory teaching of high-level engineering concepts to the otherwise
science shunning, honest, hard-working morons that we arts students are.
(oh, except we're not hard-working, and most of us aren't honest.) it seems
obvious *now* doesn't it? now that i've had to lead your stagnant,
pheobe-worshipping brain through the simple step by step logic. let's review
that for the warrior caste at the back:

i) it sounds plausible

ii) i said it

therefore, iii) it must be true

...flawless.
