Teetering on the edge of dignity, Al responds thusly: ;-)

you have to go back to May 25 1999 in the archives to find the truth about
the color and description of the costume being debated here. It was neither
purple nor spandex. It is in a thread called "help deflasking Phalaenopsis
seedlings" but it had turned into a flame war and so I figured I should
dress appropriately for it.

However as recently as Nov 4 2004 in a flame, ...er thread... called "New
2005 Orchid Species Calendar" I myself describe it as 'spandex' and remind
all the careful readers of this newsgroup of its true color .

In both the above threads I was wearing my three pointed jester hat with the
little bells on the tips. Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle. My antenna were probably
stuffed underneath. I suppose they do look a bit like aluminum rabbit ears.
If it comforts you earth people to believe that's all they are, I got no
problem with that. Fortunately the inflammation that prevents me from
retracting them has not been a problem for several years.

I gots no idea what is a "deeley bobbers."

The giant C amythstaglosa is at Pat's greenhouse. It was in full bloom. It
is a mess, but still intact. The mother of all Phal equestris 'kiekie
monsters' did not survive. It was hanging just beside one of the benches
that burned. However, I believe a whole tray of small kiekies I removed
from it in the fall survived and is probably in Pat's greenhouse someplace.

You know, I think you might be right about the bunny suit. C'mon, Al, set
us
straight here. Bunny suit or spandex? Or was it a blue spandex bunny suit
with aluminum rabbit ears?
