Since the beginning of time men have searched for the miraculous elixir which will give eternal life. Through dint of hard work, sleepless nights, bloodshot eyes, and hang- overs we have conjured a recipe which, we believe, will grant, if not eternal life, at least immortality to those who partake of ir. The essence of the formula is a group of eighty-four spastic, grinding, party-goers. To this base must be added many ingredients in precise quantities. Begin with the abilities to use a knife and fork, to smoke all forms of tobacco anytime, even in the shower, to listen to a bone dropping, to salute properly, to assume the embryonic position, and to hit a butt-can at ten meters. Add to this at least a kindergarten knowledge of social amenities, a working knowledge of schincters, an eye for an artifact, and great endurance for There's so much to cover . Put in a dash of stands for Maine, the answer to Why workest thou among the dead when all the others to home have fled? , a bit of Friday reflection and contempla- tion in a Cozy Corner , and the Edinburgh effect on Pacin- ian corpuscles. The mixture should be packed, by Sam, in a sixth floor container, alternately frozen and fried in York Court, shaken well in an anatomy elevator, and then served in the manner of a true host . - Take heed, too much may burn out the grate.

When the dizziness passed, the boy still felt the terrible need for water. He decided to go into the woods looking for it. Off the road he saw .a large patch of tall grass swaying in the warm breeze and he headed for it. When he got close he could hear the breeze whisking through it. A funny little hairy creature was lying at the foot of the grass and he was just about to lean down and pet it when a strange man with a long flit gun jumped from behind the grass. The young boy was afraid and ran off. He went off in the other direction in search of water. Soon he heard a noise behind him and he turned around to find himself surrounded by cats - dozens of them in all shapes and sizes. No matter which way he tried to move they were there, howling and convulsing and vomiting. Their varied antics confused him and he watched them for a moment with bewilderment. But suddenly they all dropped dead on the ground and, though he felt sorry for them, he was glad the noisy commotion was over with. His thirst was almost unbearable by now, but then he came upon a large stream of water. He lay down and drank voraciously from the cool stream. He drank and drank until he was sure he could drink no more, but still he drank on. When he was so bloated he feared he would explode, he stopped drinking, only to note that a tiny insect was floating by, looking longingly at him and beating the water with his antennae. The young boy, filled with water, strolled away from the stream until he found an egg lying in a soft nest of grass. He picked up a piece of wire nearby and started poking at the egg, digging little holes in it. He was enjoying himself in that way until he heard a screech in the distance and two strange birds descended upon him. One was large and had a soft, elky voice, but the other was small and his call was harsh and mean. He pecked at the young boy and he dropped the egg and started to run. As he ran, the smaller bird flew after him, pecking at him until he was running as fast as he could. When the bird finally left him alone the boy felt a terrible urge to find relief. Then the boy knew that he had dallied too long and he would never reach destination if he did not hurry. He became panicky and started running. He reached the road and ran and ran and ran until he dropped from exhaustion. But as he fell he landed on something sharp and he leaped up fast to see that he had fallen on a shaft, perhaps six feet long, with a series of dagger points at both ends. He sat for a moment nursing his wounds knowing that he would soon be able to eat and rest for a longer time. He walked on slowly for a while until he came to a shady place surrounded by growths of silver and green and red. He produced some crackers and cheese from his little parcel and stretched out and ate it hungrily. When he finished he was satisfied and he took a nap. When he awoke, he knew that it was time to continue his journey, for the sun had passed the middle of the sky. He started walking when he heard a little cricket off in the brush. He went over to investigate and found that it was a little glowing Julius bug that made a cricket sound, and hovering above it was an impressive humble bee with its fiuttering wings making a strange sound: IN-N-N-D-E-E-D . . The persistence of the sound bored the young boy and he walked on. Further along he noticed a strange battle going on between two weird insects. One had two flexible necks with one head and the other had one long neck with two heads. They were swinging wildly at each other when an alopecic hen strutred out from the brush and the two headed monster slinked away into the woods. The young boy hurried on and soon came upon a man dressed in old clothes, walking along the road with a large dog at his side. The man motioned to him and told him that he was from Arizona and was heading into town to buy some new clothes. But the boy was not interested in the story and left the man to his musings. He turned around once to look at the man again and nearly tripped over a large boar with a huge chisquare in his mouth. He cursed the animal and walked on faster. As the young boy trekked on, his mind turned to the welcome night's sleep which lay ahead of him. But then he came upon the terrible realization that he would probably not be able to rest at night-fall, as had been his custom. If he was to reach destination in four days, he knew he would be forced to walk for a while during the early part of that second night, and the thought was a distasteful one. But the young boy was strong and persistent. He quickened his pace. 75
