    Fun_people may recognize the name "The Internet TourBus" from bits of  
their e-mail service that I have excerpted for Fun_People from time to time.   
TOURBUS picks one or two web sites per issue and describes them in some  
depth, with an eye to making cool Internet features accessible to both  
beginners and experts.  They also feature some silly stuff like the Southern  
Word of the Day.  For example (from 3/8/96):

> --------------------------------
> TODAY'S SOUTHERN WORD OF THE DAY
> --------------------------------
>
> MERINGUE - Noun.  A piece of jewelry worn on the finger.
> Usage: "Ju like meringue?"
> (Special thanks goes to Michael Sullins for today's wurd)

    Well the TOURBUS may go overboard on the silly side next Thursday when
they include a mention of Fun_People.  Eeek!  If you'd like to subscribe to
TOURBUS and see the reference go by, here's the info:

    I hope this doesn't mean my ISP (or my mailbox) will be swamped with  
requests, but if there is some interruption in the next week, you'll know  
why...  Wish us luck!
