1. So, there is a chance that some may have no clue what a 'perkigoff' is! What does it take to be a perkigoff, you ask? Lots of sugar. Or, optionally, one might simply be a self-deterministic and obnoxiously happy little git, dressing all in black and generally presenting oneself as a complete paradox when encountering traditional goth stereotypes of gloom and morbidity. Its been done! :P 2. Who are some famous historical perkigoffs? Most prominently, Salvador Dali, though he didn't know it at the time. In fact, most surrealists were perkigoffs. They wont admit it, but its true. We have the films. No, you cant see them. DUH. people who *weren't* perkigoffs might include: Genghis khan, lady bird Johnson, *all* the archbishops of Canterbury, and at least one of the Marx brothers (not Karl) 3. What do perkigoffs eat? Bread, fruit, all varieties, in massive quantities. Known to partake of the "bike messengers breakfast" (espresso mocha and a beer), but only in highly secretive and ritualistic ceremonies, to which even other perkygoffs are denied admittance (unless they come in anyways). Actually, pretty much known to consume everything in sight. 4. Are they dangerous? will they harm my small children? Only dangerous when angered, or when interfered with while dancing (quote gina@stanford "OW. OW. OW." repeat for 3 weeks, hopping on one foot while holding bruised and sprained other foot). The presence of small children is actually sometimes welcomed by perkigoffs, though this acceptance may change at any given moment, as may anything else, for that matter. 5. if a perkigoff falls in the woods, and no-one is around, does it make a sound? Yes. A sound rather like "nirmph!". It makes this sound whether or not you're around to hear it, actually. This has never been proven to be true. 6. What makes perkigoffs tick? Clocks. A la the crocodile in "Peter Pan". 7. Do they like Arctic climates? Only if kept outside. (the climates, that is) 8. Is there any sort of definitive identification marking or technique to be used? Most perkigoffs can do cartwheels. While this in and of itself may not be a dead giveaway (as they do not perform them constantly), asking a perkigoff to perform a cartwheel will, 9 times out of 10, result in said performance. Also be aware of a general disregard for the appearance of their makeup, and lack of curiosity concerning vampires. 9. Is it contagious?? It is not yet known. If you truly wish to avoid all possibility of contamination and totally minimize your risks, please stay indoors and mope, and nothing to anyone about the grapefruit. 10. what does the pope think? One of us! One of us! I hope this brief message has cleared up some of your conceptions, and expanded upon some of your misconceptions. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to make up answers for them. This message has been brought to you by your local perkygoff, and is an utter waste of bandwidth. Lurve and eggplant, -joe
