In the news... Dyslexia's deadly consequenses Little Rock correspondant Saxonny Reuters Little Rock--The nation's educational crisis has taken a poignant twist this Christmas, as thousands of poor-spelling children have unwittingly addressed their "Letters to Santa" to Satan and suffered tragic consequences. Ten-year-old Sally Ryder mistakenly asked Satan for a pony and was trampled to death by the Budweiser Clydesdales at a football game. In Minnesota, six-year-old Timmy Brattle, hoping for a TonkaTM fire-truck, was killed in a four-alarm blaze that a whole company of bright, shiny pumpers could not extinguish. And hundreds of children asking Satan for Legos have found themselves buried alive inside colorful, pricey tombs made of the famous inter-locking bricks. Postmaster General, Sarah Smith, has spent most of the past week scrambling to defend her employees: "Look, we just deliver the mail. The return bestowal of gifts, or alternatively, an eternity of hellfire and torment is left up to the recipient." She continued, "My advice is for everyone to work on their spelling. We've seen quite a few letters to 'Santa, Reaver of Souls' lately, and I'm sure Chris Cringle has no idea what to do with the talismans and chicken guts he's getting." Holy shades of temper-tantrum in my guestbook, Batman! Somebody needs to borrow his boyfriend's medication! Speaking of nut cases... Have you heard about the guy who flew across the English Channel? "What's so crazy about that?", you might ask. Well, he did it by jumping out of a plane with little fiberglass wings strapped to his back! Eegads! http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/uk/newsid_3112000/3112451.stm Seems like Trick's band is making some headway, musically speaking. I'm trying to decide whether I should talk to him about getting their music on disk, so that he can sell it through his shop, or if I should wait until his book is ready. Decisions decisions SquirrelX did the nicest thing for me in her brilliant and entertaining diary. What a sweet lady! Look at this awesome toilet seat my friend, technicolour, spent entirely too much money on. Apparently it looks like the open sea when you flush. I didn't think to ask what it looks like when you're flushing with something in it. An enemy submarine, perhaps? Maybe a whale. It's been so rainy down here this summer that I haven't had to water my plants once!
