slan shack n. 1944 ‘WJD’ The Club Over Our Heads in Shangri-L'Affaires (#13) Apr. 9 Recent installation of a telephone has been a great convenience to the club for outgoing calls, as well as for members outside to contact the club at any time of day or night.… The biggest surprise call of them all was the Thursday night meeting that was interrupted (pleasurably) by a phone call from Slan Shack, in Battle Creek, Michigan. [Ibid. 10] Battle Creek calling LASFS! This is Slan Shack!
unfannish adj. 1943 W. Daugherty News Notes of Shangri-La in Shangri-L’Affaires (#12) Sept. 9 Forry passes up three LASFS acquaintances without speaking to them!!

Reason for this remarkable un-fannish conduct? He was intent on tracking down Fritz Lang and would let nothing deter him from his course.
