Date: Thu, 3 Jul 1997 15:06:49 -0400 (EDT) Ok, I'm really sorry about this mass e-mail. Normally I completely oppose the idea and write nice, personal letters with comments, suggestions, and why I liked all the sites that win my award. Unfortunately, I was grounded from the computer for a month and I'm totally swamped with applications. I'm answering them in the order I received them, but I'm sending everyone this letter just so I can get caught up. If you have any questions, need an award graphic with a different color lettering, or have any other special request feel free to mail me and I'll write back much more quickly this time. thanks for your patience and congrats :) luv, andrea rose........

Date: Tue, 01 Jul 1997 23:51:27 -0500 Greetings from the Temple of Mighty Grapholina, Robin! I'm here to deliver a very important message. Have you got a minute? Good. Now, listen very carefully. Are you ready? Okay, here we go: You've been officially captured. Please drop whatever it is you're doing and come peaceably with the Temple Guard. They will escort you and promptly throw you into Grapholina's Dungeon. Don't even think about escaping your fate. Grapholina's a mighty jealous goddess, and she guards her possessions. Now, this period of incarceration is for your own good. Necessary to give Grapholina ample time to prepare your rightful place of honor in her Temple. Here are the Dungeon Rules: 1. There will be no fun, no talking, no mischief, no dancing, or singing down there. 2. There is no ventilation, no lighting, no facilities, and no roomservice. 3. We will feed you once a day. Bread and water. The bread you get whenever, and the water bucket is passed around each morning at 9 a.m. (Well, actually whenever Harry, the water bucket guy decides to make his rounds). And don't even THINK about bringing your own lunch, because all prisoners are thoroughly frisked at The Gate. On the bright side: 1. You'll be among fine incarcerated company. 2. We decided to take pity on the prisoners and therefore piped in muzak from the kitchens over the Dungeon. 3. You're allowed visitors. Visitors may "view" you at 4. There's a special Gong in the Dungeon. If you strike it, it will take you to the Dungeon book. This book is to be used for communicating with your fellow Dungeon mates, and with the outside world. Also there to post your gripes and complaints during your stay. Please take a moment to sign in so everyone will know you've arrived in the Dungeon. 5. There's a bell-pull in there somewhere, but don't bother pulling on it. No one will come see to you. You see, we're all upstairs in the Temple feasting and merry-making. So, when do you get out? Oh, usually five days or so--however long it takes me to get a feel for your site, so that I can design your special plaque for the Temple Room (not the award). All prisoner release dates are posted at the Dungeon Door, which of course, you can't see, because you'll be INSIDE the Dungeon. Hee hee hee! So, sit tight, please try to behave yourself, or XX and/or Java Dragon will getcha. But do try and enjoy the ride! Date: Wed, 09 Jul 1997 02:34:27 -0500 Greetings, Robin! My, how time flies!! And yes, I know, you HATE to leave that wonderfully dank, dumpy dungeon. It's become your. . .home away from home, hasn't it? Come on now, admit it. You LOVE it there! But, all things must end so that new ones can begin. Right? So, without further ado, I'm attaching your much, much, much deserved award. Your special place in the Temple is ready, and you may move in any time. But first, you must follow the parade (just for you) into the Temple. Up the golden stairs, where you are to take your rightful place among the rest of my gods and goddesses. Here we go, fall into line please? (Trumpets blaring. . .drummers drumming. . .the crowds cheering wildly! Virgin maidens sprinkling the path before you with wild flowers, the Temple priests waving their incense burners, perfuming the air with scents made especially in your honor. Oh, look! Here comes your attendant, bearing your royal robe and sceptor! And your crown! Did you ever see such a crown? Wow! All golden and jewelly and my oh my, such splendor! Oooooh, aaaaahhhhh, and the crowd cheers as you reach your throne. With dignity and aplomb, you turn, wave Elizabeth style)to the throng, and take your rightful place among the other gods and goddesses in the Temple's ROOM OF COOLNESS. Then, you take out a handful of golden coins and jewels and throw them at your adoring fans. They go wild. From the left portals, enter the cooks and their attendants. Heavily laden with oxen heads, wild beasts cooked to perfection. All have apples in their mouths, of course. Wine flows freely. As do the desserts (can't forget them). Music, not muzak flows in, and the wild doves are released. YEEEEAAAAAA! Applause, applause, applause! Let the merry-making begin!!!! Welcome to the Temple, Robin! Hugs, | |

Date: Sat, 12 Jul 1997 13:11:01 -0700 Good Morrow Friends, Well, after a slow start the Castle seemed to have gained momentum until yesterday when we stubbled a bit. Nonetheless, I want to thank you all for your support and participation. Whether we win or not is not the ultimate goal I think. It is that we all got there together. For your support, your friendship, and your participation, please accept the attached graphic as a very small token of my appreciation to you all. You do not have to accept it, post it, or link it, but I must offer it nonetheless. Please continue to support the Castle by voting at the Castle or at the Warzone. Always, odin........ | |

Date: Fri, 29 Aug 1997 00:09:45 -0700 Congratulations! Your Web site has been selected to win an Elite Site Award. (award mentioned in the Wall Street Journal 2/19/97 B1)Your site has been chosen by me, Ravi, to be an "elite" site. 1) What is the purpose of this award? It is to signify that your site has been judged to contain quality content, design and/or html expertise. 2) What is my reason for having an awards site? To give credit where credit is due. I know and you probably know that it takes a lot of time and effort to create a quality site. For this reason, I feel everyone who has achieved their goal of maintaining an overall "elite" site deserves at the least, a badge of honor. The badge of honor I have to offer is the Elite Site Award. | |

Date: Sun, 7 Sep 1997 16:27:42 -0400 (EDT) Hi Robin! What a fun site! You're almost ready for a butterfly award, so in the meantime, I'll send you a caterpillar award to acknowledge work in progress! Take care and I'm sure we'll be in touch! Mary Ward | |
Congratulations on achieving the Mary Ward Speech Friendly Caterpillar Award! The Speech Friendly Caterpillar award is an image of a cute yellow caterpillar crawling over a leaf and a bud. Congratulations to you on the receiving of this Mary Ward Speech Friendly Caterpillar award, and give it a special place on your homepage. I am very pleased that you have realized the necessity of making your page available to those of us who use speech access due to blindness to access pages on the world wide web. This award is to acknowledge work in progress to make your page speech friendly! Our caterpillar will "crawl" through your page, and will let me know when it is ready to emerge as a butterfly and give your page the prestigious award of receiving the Mary Ward Speech Friendly Butterfly Award! The world of computers has been a real window of opportunity for the blind as we can access information just as a sighted user can. However, a lot of the windows based pages that are full of images and graphics make we speech users totally lost and discouraged. This is why we want to acknowledge your page for working to correct this! Please submit your homepage to me when you have completed making it accessible to be considered for the Mary Ward Speech Friendly Butterfly Award. If you know of any pages you'd like us to consider, please email me! If we can be of any assistance, don't hesitate to contact us. In hope and peace "In a moment some wisdom could be learned, | ||

Date: Mon, 24 Nov 1997 22:27:14 -0600 Robin! Here's another award for your site. It's the official Renaissance Faire Junkie Favor! Yes, I finally sat down and created a favor, and now I'm passing it out to sites that I think particularly special. A word about the favor ... The cat is Simon, and he really is wearing chain mail. He's not particularly happy, but it's really hard to tell since his normal expression is one of "I'm going to make you suffer for this!" Enjoy! -liz |
There are probably at least XXXXX Other Fools waiting to be added to this Page.
