  As you may or may not know, I now take orders for a Far East Import Company
(not its real name).  We sell Barney Halloween costumes.  I've been secretly
tracking the orders and keeping statistics on how many Barney and Baby Bop
costumes make it out into society, and the results are *frightening*.

  As a public service, I have been posting this information and commentaries
on it to alt.fun.with.tob.   All reports are marked as `Daily Tally' or
`Daily Report' or somesuch and followed by a date.

                      *** Use this info sparingly ***

   I am not responsible for anyone who freaks out at the sheer enormity of
numbers and then decides to sit on his roof with a rifle on Oct 31st and
waste kids dressed as thier favorite singing purple dinosaur.


Anyway, if you can't get alt.fun.with.tob where you are, hold your horses; 
all of this is going to be published as "The Barney-All Saints Day Massacre"
which I will leak to the press after Thanksgiving sometime.  Email me for
more information on anything.
