Wilkins World Tour Meets Howlerfest
John Wilkins' World Tour arrived with much pomp and circumstances in New York where he was waylaid by a group of Howler Monkeys (and one refugee) from the talk.origins newsgroup and forced to consume copious amounts of beer and dead animals against his will. Below is a photo* taken before all the debauchery had taken full effect.
As you can see, the Howlers were using mind control rays to compel Wilkins to consume the comestibles.
The nine-fingered philosopher uses his favorite pointing device to accentuate an argument.
Professor Stephanie Stephanie was already a little blurry due to drink.
I think there will be other photos of the proceedings online eventually.
A good time was had by all ... and maybe someday I'll remember it.

The picture was taken by Chis' daughter Jade.

Never trust anyone with nine fingers. You don't want to be where they are.. at least, not if evolution is true.

It's been a _long_ time since I was a regular on t.o (or any Usenet newsgroup, for that matter), but I wish I could have been there.
