You FIENDS!
Does this mean they're going to include subliminal boB related messages in
all the new FASA products?

I can't remember who first same up with it, but there's an insidious little
toy called "Bob the squooshy ball". It started appearing on peoples desks
months ago, and one of the people on this list descided to start "FCotSB"
[First Church or the Squooshy Ball).

Since then, a few resistance cells have sprung up to fight this new evil.

:)

It's a very silly list in-joke that got out of hand.

Pretty simple, really.

1. I have a sqooshy ball named Bob.
2. He's the god I worship.
3. Other people worship him too, therefore..
4. The First Church of the Sqooshy Ball!
5. And we incubate people, but generally only people we like. Hence, Steve
and Jon :-)

Further replies sent to me privately.
