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.

This is a very interesting experience. I'm not quite sure why. I guess mostly it's the fact that I'm not really here. I'm somewhere in some fictional world. Maybe of Douglas Adams, maybe of C. S. Lewis maybe of myself. But I'm absolutly sure that it is much more interesting than whatever is really going on around me. Well unfortunatly the real world calls so good bye for now.

Here is a quote from Baron Friedrich Melchior von Grimm "Le petit prophete de Boehmischbroda" (1753).

And while I was saying this to myself (for I love to talk to myself when I have time), I found that the orchestra had begun to play without my having noticed it, and they were playing something which they call an overture.

And I saw a man who was holding a stick, and I believed he was going to castigate the bad violins for I heard many of them, among the others that were good and were not many.

And he made a noise as if he were splitting wood, and I was astonished that he did not dislocate his shoulder, and the vigour of his arm terrified me. And I reflected (for I love to reflect when I have the time), and I said to myself:

Oh! how talents are misplaced in this world, and how genius displays itself nonetheless even if it is out of its right place!.

And I said: If that man had been born in my father's house, which is a quarter of a league from the forest of Boehmischbroda in Bohemia, he would make as much as thirty farthings a day, and his family would be rich and honoured and his children would live in abundance.

And people would say: ' behold the woodchopper of Boehmischbroda, behold him!' And his talents would not be wasted, whereas in this booth he cannot earn enough to eat his bread and drink his water.

And I beheld that they called this 'beating the time,' and although it was beaten most forcibly, the musicians were never together.

I've been in situations like this before. . .

Sometimes, you just have to ask yourself, "W.W.G.O.D?"

What would George Orwell do?
