Dear Wonderful,
Are you open for business yet?

Dear Wile E.,
Open? Baby, we're like the greasy diner on the wrong side of a
renegade street in a Tom Waits song. We *never* close.
Of course, there are the times that Wonderful Labs is rather more open
for pleasure than business... but even then, someone pays. Usually they
pay a cleaning bill the size of Orson Welles's underwear.
Are we *open*? Yes, O my brothers and only friends, we are open, open,
willing, and waiting, quivering with sweet desire at the notion of your
hard words banging into our heart, three-person- ... hang on. Wrong
notes. I'm speaking at a nunnery later this afternoon.
Yes! Ask your queries, faithful reader! Fire away! Let it all hang
out until the gay magic cows come home. Bring me your mysteries, your
quirks, your fictional ailments, and dangerous liquids. The game is
afoot once more! You are the teenagers from Mars and I am the Grand
Poobah and yes we are Open.
We are open for business, we are open for fun, we are open for illusion
and we are open for revelation. We are open for the angels. We are
open for the monsters. We are open like the top on the Prisoner's Lotus
Super Seven, like the bottle of whiskey in Brendan Behan's hand, like
the thighs of an Ishtar priestess, like a Baltimore murder case, like
the good book that scares the heart out of you with its preternatural
rhythm and danger which you can't put down for love or money, like my
accountant's mouth when he gets the janitorial invoice from our full
moon "WELCOME BACK FROM POTR-FUCKIN-ZEBIE" party. Open.
Come on in.
