Cob An extremely rare event

[Mark Piepkorn (f.k.a. M J Epko [R.I.P.])]

	I waffled about whether or not to post this to the coblist. Ever since I
met Shannon, I'm kinda scared to break the list-rules.   :)   But being as
how five out of the five named headliners *really* like earthen plasters, I
figure maybe it's close enough to pass. If I don't post here any more,
you'll know that Shannon hunted me down and that I'm suffering excruciating
long-term physical pain.
