[sac-board] Re: [EVAC] Re: Re: [EVAC Cabinet 2005] All Arizona this or that

The SAC Snooze April issue newsletter shenanigans was already something 
of a tradition by then, but unfortunately it does not seem to have 
survived the passage of time.... Another tradition was that of printing 
"snappy" comments overheard at the various SAC doins' such as star 
parties.... Surprising what comes out in the dark!!
