Greetings,

"Hi," to the new folks and "so long" to the ones I culled after getting
bounced messages. I try not to be too picky, but I'd *really* appreciate
it if you could remember this little List when you change ISPs or
whatever. Thanx.
Just another perfect day for everyone, I hope. They said yesterday
was the first day of summer. They failed to explain why it was already
hitting 100 degrees a month ago. 
And today (June 22nd as I write this) is the bionic birthday of Lindsay
Wagner if my local paper knows what it's talking about. There's a first
time for everything, I guess.
Car geeks need to check out John Rosa's site at: 

http://www.javelinamx.com/Batmobile/index.htm

Not only is it a great site devoted to the Batmobile, but he's also
got pages on various vehicles from movies and TV shows. 
And thanks to the Banz. Inst. Nor-Cal, the JetCar now has it's spot.
No TABB on pay cable it looks like, but Peter Weller's 'First Born' and
'Screamers' are both on various HBOs this month. 
I'll be butting into posts below, so I'll leave you for now...

On with the show...

Hi there,

I've been playing the Scott Adams BB game for the last week, and I'm already
stuck.
I was wondering if you've played it, or maybe even passed it and could share
with me some tips.
Just let me know if you have.  I won't press you for questions if you don't
know what I'm talking about. :)

Thanks,
John

hi agagin the man who gave out the info asked the Oukdas two questions
and here is how is went:

<Moderator> <Fanatic> to <Moderator>: Hi Mike and Catnip as fan of Star
Trek and other things I noticed a few mistakes in the omnipedia
concering The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai tie ins to star trek and I'd
also like to know what is with the water mellon in the chase sequence in
Buckaroo Banzai?  
<Okuda> D: What mistakes concerning Buckaroo Banzai?
<Okuda> .

as you can see the watermellon Question is still unanswered but someday
the answer will be know to all.
I also informed the Okudas to the existence of this officially
unofficial fanbased newsletter. 

laters ppl!

<< Actually (taking the opportunity to plug the FAQ which I don't think 
I've done in awhile), the watermelon question is unanswered only to those
who've yet to check out the FAQ, available at either of the web
sites noted up top. All new members are invited to check it out.- ArcLight >>

Does anyone know where I can find some Banzai Fanfic?  I've read and 
re-read all that I have and would like to read some more.

Thanks.

Be cool, but care.

Hi!

I just pulled issue #25 out of the archives last night and was reading
about your Barnes & Noble order. Wish I could be saying congrats instead,
but I must confess that I'm not too surprised.

Some years ago, when Books In Print was still only available in hardcopy,
Buckaroo Banzai suddenly reappeared in the pages as being in print. I
believe that this was around the time that Dragon and Abacus still had the
paper-only incarnation of the newsletter going out in Denver, and seem to
recall a note in one issue of that about the publisher delaying
publication.

The next year's BIP still showed the book as in print. They were operating
on bad info, but didn't know it when they printed. It was not until
the year after that when the book turned up in the "Out of Print -- Out of
Stock Indefinitely" volume instead of in the Author, Subject, and Title
tomes. Evidently, this has been the case ever since, regardless of any
other reports, but I can't confirm that, as the BIP these days seems only
to appear in a CD-ROM format in my local bookstores and at my employer (I
work for a book jobber selling to libraries & schools only). The OP--OSI
volume seems not to have made the transition to the electronic version.

To the best of my knowledge, the only way to get a legitimate copy of the
book at present is to find it used somewhere. There *is* a bootleg copy
floating about in extremely limited circulation, and I understand that if
the perpetrator ever gets hold of Mac's address (snail or e-mail),
arrangements will be made to see that he gets his royalties on it. Simon
and Schuster, on the other hand may very well have given up any moral
ground on the issue when they destroyed most (if not all) of the unsold
copies; this is strictly an "at cost" operation as far as I can ascertain,
with no money to be made from a lawsuit, certainly not enough to pay for
the time of the corporate level lawyer's coffee slingers, much less the
legal fees involved. Kinda like the bootleg soundtrack.

In the June 10, 1997 issue of PC Magazine, the lead item for 'Second Looks'
(pg. 81) is a product review for PDA software; the bold red headline reads, 
"Wherever you go, there you are" (i wish people would get the quote
straight! oh well; it's still Buckaroo)

Here's an odd sighting that I hadn't seen mentioned before- when I went to
<www.pollstar.com> to search for some concert information, I got back a
note that no information could be found for the artist I had entered. I got
back:
                          No Match found for * erasure *
                          Some explanations for this:
	          [...]
3. The spelling of the artist, band, city or venue name is incorrect. Try a
                          shorter version to see whether this is the
case--e.g if you tried "Willy Nilly
                          and Buckaroo Banzai", search for "Willy" or
"Buck" instead.
	          [...]

No matter where _I_ go, there BB is!

The Banzai Knowledge Database has yielded the following information:

The origin of the expression "Holy Moly" can be traced back to 
"The Odyssey," wherein this mythical herb is given by Hermes to Ulysses
as an antidote against the sorceries of Circe.

now you know.
