Father Martin Sylvester has returned from his "fortnight" off and we're glad to have him back on the boards.

Despite Kara Wild having her car broken into, she found time to e-mail Glenn Eichler and ask him if he were ready to answer any more fan questions. His response? "Bring 'em on!" E-mail Ms. Wild if you have any questions that Mr. Eichler hasn't answered.

Congratulations to Daria fan Deceleraptor for reaching the 1/2 century mark!

Happy Birthday to Isabelle Young-Johnson.

The new "Beavis and Butt-head: Volume One" CD collection is out. According to Mike Judge, the entire collection will consist of two-thirds of the Beavis and Butt-head short cartoons done for MTV that he liked. I've seen the first of the three CDs. Daria appears prominently in only two of the episodes.

-- "No Laughing". Daria laughs at the pain Beavis and Butt-head endure when Coach Buzzcut forbids them to laugh, or they'll be sent to an even worse high school than Highland High School where "their asses will be kicked on a regular basis". When Coach Buzzcut deliberately begins teaching a sex ed lesson, can B & B keep from exploding?

-- "Butt Is It Art?" Van Driessen takes a small group of students (including Daria and Beavis and Butt-head) to an art gallery -- a trip which is completely wasted on our two butt-munches. Beavis and Butt-head are in hysterics over something Van Driessen says, until Daria reminds the two of them that "he said master painters."
