So last night I traveled with one co-editor of Chunga to the house of the other co-editor. This other co-editor was barbecuing some modern dinosaur, and it was good. We worked on issue 13, which, believe it or don't, seems practically done now. Only 13 months after the last issue, hmm.

This evening my brother is visiting. He's sailing at a Hobie Cat regatta on Lake Washington this weekend. I foresee a few beers in my future, but then that's always true. My own weekend will be more work on the fanzine, more work on wedding words, more picking of raspberries, and at some point the picking up of my new suit, which has now been altered. Maybe I'll find time to read the new Prolapse, too, which has just arrived in its paper guise.

I haven't seen Prolapse and my brain didn't immediately think, ah yes, fanzine. So I look in Amazon and the top two which I find are Vaginal Surgery for Incontinence and Prolapse and Natural Therapies for Mitral Valve Prolapse. Hm, sounds vastly exciting, uh, wait, maybe not. I scan down and find Mitral Valve: Floppy Mitral Valve, Mitral Valve Prolapse, Mitral Valvular Regurgitation. Ooh, now we're getting to the exciting stuff, eh? Hmmm. Or maybe, Rectal Prolapse - A Medical Dictionary, Bibliography, and Annotated Research Guide to Internet References. Maybe I will check efanzines.com. Ah, a fanzine. That sounds better. I guess this has more to do with "To fall or slip out of place." than "The falling down or slipping out of place of an organ or part, such as the uterus." (courtesy of yourdictionary.com).

Have fun with those beers but try to not let anything fall too far out of place.

Whoops. Forget to log in. Gary (who occasionally likes his anonymity but not today.)

I keep meaning to ask Peter if he knew about the medical meaning of prolapse when he named the zine. I mean, really!

I find it disturbing, still, for just that reason.
