       If it were the DEJAVU party, I'd go anonymously...until I got
    reactions.  If others commented on how much knowledge I seem to
    have, I'd say my name is really Steve Kallis, Jr.  If someone
    thinks I'm a 5'3" warthog, I'd confess that my name is John Mitchell...
    If aliens were running around doing a roundup, I'd say my name 
    is the Amazing Randi and prove they don't exist.  If someone comments
    on my sleek, swimmer's body, I'd say my name is Carla Blazek; if
    someone likes the blond color in my hair, my name would be Cindy
    Painter; if they dislike my music, my name is Doug Wetherington;
    if they comment on the ghost hanging on my shoulder, I'd introduce
    myself as Lisa Thompson; if they start sticking pins in me, I'd
    say I was Robert Brown; if they commented unfavorably on my rising
    moon, I'd say my name is Carole Fretts; if they engaged me in
    intricate and precision detailed dialog, I'd say I'm Topher Cooper;
    if they asked me to describe the inner workings of Walt Disney
    studios, I'd say my name is Jay Jollimore; if they asked me how
    I enjoy working alone at night, I'd introduce my name as Craig
    Operator; if they say I sound a bit like Ruth Westheimer, I'd
    say my name is Meredith Daniels; 
    if they look at me and say it looks like I should belong to a cult,
    then I'd panic...
    if they look and say "what a nice, well-rounded, pleasant-looking
    fellow," then I'd admit it, 
    
                  yes,

    Re .5 (Fredrick):
    
>                      -< Does anyone like Pumpkin Pie? >-
 
    That is a _non_crazy question. Yes, pumpkin pie is a weakness of
    mine.  A good pumpkin pie is one of life's great delights, ranking
    up there with the greater parasensual pleasures.  Metaphysically,
    pumpkins are linked with the moon, so a pumpkin pie is enhanced
    by cooking it during the time of month when the Moon is in its waxing
    phase.  Pumpkin pies usually contain eggs, which have great
    metaphysical significance, implying the metacosmos in microcosm.
    Cinnamon, a pumpkin pie ingredient, is good for protection, healing,
    and is linked to the Sun, thus adding a male aspect to the female
    aspect of ther pumpkin.  The crust, to be sure, uses wheat, which
    is "the staff of life," in many aspects.  The esoteric significance
    of a pumpkin pie is staggering, however the hidden revelations of
    it pale by comparison to the succulent taste of a really well prepared
    pie.
    
    How to have your Hallowe'en pumpkin and eat it, too:
    
    Make sure your pumpkin is one of the sugar variety.
    On the day before Hallowe'en, carve the pumpkin.  Place the Jack-
    O'-Lantern in the coldest area of the refrigerator (not the freezing
    compartment) and chill it down.  At dusk on Hallowe'en, take it
    out to its display area outside.  Place the candle (in a candleholder)
    in it.  ==> Leave the lid off. <==  When the candle has burned down
    (and the evening is over anyway), retrieve your pumpkin, and place
    it back in the refrigerator.  reduce it to cooking pulp the next
    day by your usual method (boiling, baking, whatever).

    What parasensual significance is the wax you just accidentally cooked

    Re .21 (Don):
    
    I presume that pumpkin cookers are initiated into the ritual of
    removing the candles and any drippings before reducing the pumpkin
    for inclusion in the pie.  Likewise, they should add the meat from
    the cap (not used on the night) when reducing the pumpkin.  Reduction
    by boiling would separate out the wax anyway.
    
    However, if you're worried about this, get candles made of beeswax
    rather than parafin.  This is more Significant ritualistically,
    anyway.

    Re: .15
    
    Pumpkin cooking pulp created by baking on a cookie sheet has a *fine*
    taste.  But if you're pressed for time, chunk it up and use the
    microwave (I stumbled on this when called on to pronto-produce a
    pie from pumpkins brought in the door that morning by mein spouse).
