To: everybody at ZORK

What songs do you think grues might sing around a campfire, if they
ever made campfires and felt like singing?
How about:

|    |    |
|----|----|
|"I could Have Lurked All Night"|"I Get a Nip out of You"|
|"Lurking in the Dark"|"Stayin' Alive"|
|"I've Been Lurking on the Railroad"*|"Sunglasses at Night"|
|"Strangers in the Night"|"Help!"|
|"Tonight We Lurk"|"Hey, Grue!"|

\* Please, no jokes about what kind of railroad.

1) A grue would never light a fire, or stick around if someone else did.

2) Grues don't sing, they gurgle.

3) Isn't it a little early in the day for you to be drinking?

4) How about "Grue Moon"?

1) No problem. All they need is a source of intense, flickering DARK.

2) Ditto. Gurgling songs is okay by me.

3) Isn't it a little early in the day for you to be assuming that I didn't get
this idea last night?

4) Yaaaaaaaaaay! I guess grues love a new moon because the night is
darker.

Silly Stu! How could a Grue even get near a campfire? Too bright!
Maybe they could have a '60s psychedelic party instead… with black
lights!
