Team Members
- Sven Bjorn Borg
- Sven has been with d-con since its humble beginnings, and is responsible for punctuating, finances,
guarding the office from rabid dogs and loud noises, and acting as mediator amongst the other members. Dr. Borge is well-known as the world's foremost (and perhaps only) underwater-basket-weaving expert.
Sven has recently published no less than 3 books, Klingon Grammar and Vocabulary
for humans, Life among the Grapes, and Escher, Bach, Gödel: A gigantic elastic bungalow. In it's copious spare time, the Sven enjoys playing the harpsichord and diagramming sentences. Sven is Chief of Staff
and Director of Intelligence in the UPICN,LLC.
- Dr. Bob William "The Orange" Lavoisier
a.k.a. Dr. Henry Parsons
- Dr. N, as we like to call him, is officially the initiator of the Daily Connotations Company, and also holds important
Offices in the VVIIPP society of America and The Department of Redundancy Department, which is a place where he
holds an important office in the department of redundancy. Henry also spent a good deal of his life studying the behavior of Walruses (Walri?) in the wild, inspired by a long-running correspondence with Mr. J. Lennon, who, in fact, convinced "The Orange" that he was, in fact, a walrus. Dr. Parsons' curriculum vitae is rounded out by his extensive family history (including a brother, Alan), and double Ph.D. honors in Botany and the Study of Scandinavian Languages.
Recently, Dr. Henry Parsons was elected president of the UPICN,LLC
- The Doctor
a.k.a. Dr. What??
- Dr. What joins us now as a member of d-Con in very good standing. It is important that the doctor not be confused
with his slightly-more-popular brother, Doctor Who, who has carved a niche for himself in the field of time travel.
Dr. What never developed the talent for time travel, and has the ability to visit only two distinct temporal locations:
The beheading of John the Baptist and that one time when Stanley met Livingstone (or was it Livingstone met Stanley?)
Consequently, he spends much of his time knitting (the scarves, natch) on the planet Gallifrey whilst (and at
the same time) contemplating Nietzschean philosophies and memorizing much of Immanuel Kant's work, both in the original
German.
- Dr. Phelealabean
- Dr. Phelealabean also uses the alias Dr. Olga Olathe Parsons-Uhlmer. Dr. Parsons-Uhlmer is a sister to Henry and Alan. She has a dual honorary doctorate in Arabian Literature and Language. She also has teaching experience at the University of Rekjavik which was held in a small grass-covered hut. She iswidowed after an incident involving her husband and abandonment which she is not allowed to discuss pending criminal charges. Now that she is alone, she enjoys spending summers with her brother, Henry, in his summer home, The Parsonon.
Accolades
There's a reason this section is at the bottom of the column. Um, I think someone called us 'interesting' once, maybe. That's about it.

We have undergarments, garments, and overgarments, but without thinking of them as forming a hierarchy...
At times the underling persists even after the ling has changed his name.

"Esref Armagan was born both unsighted and to an impoverished family. As a child and young adult he never received any formal schooling or training; however, he has taught himself to write and print. He draws and paints by using his hands and primarily oil paints. In this manner, Mr. Armagan has been perfecting his art for the past thirty-five years."
And by "perfecting his art", they mean drawing fish, watermelon, and, well, Bill Clinton.

Humans are products of evolution; nervous systems have evolved in the context of competition for survival - in the struggle to succeed in the four F's: feeding, fleeing, fighting, and reproduction.

An Iowa woman recently found a dead turtle in a two pound package of Folgers' coffee, which she claims to have been using for months.
Folgers' comment was, "It could have been worse, it could have been a snake."

(Two men on stage.)
First man: You will.
Second Man: I won't.
First man: You will.
Second Man: I won't.
First man: You will!!
Second Man: I won't!!
(First man takes out gun and shoots Second man, who falls dead.)
First man: You will!
...a brief and bizarre burlesque sketch that captured all of modern history and anticipated existentialism and theater of the absurb by twenty years.
