[Wonderful Labs] THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME

[Wonderful Labs]

Dearest Readers, 

	Mister Wonderful here, typing to you from the newly restored console of
SLURPIVAX, the Wonderful Laboratories computer.  Yes, it's true:  all
our erstwhile files and machinations have been restored.  Thanks to the
long-suffering diligence and powerful thighs of Miss Yakamoto, we're
back in the saddle!  And the riding is fine...

	As this one-week project to repair the Wonderful Labs computer took
eight months to complete, you might be asking yourself: "Does this mean
we're going to have been time traveled?  Can I sit next to Mister Monkey
when we do?  Is there much pie left?"  Well, rest assured, gentle
readers: Mister Wonderful remains your pie man.

	Speaking of lickables, it's time for this year's event wrap-up special:

	WONDERFUL LABORATORIES (in association with Bad Hobbit Enterprises) 
		PRESENTS  
	**** WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED IN 2003! ****

	The year began with time-traveling smart-arses noodling about past
queries set in the future.  We should have retired to Bermuda then, but
failed to take the hint:

	Heading into Spring, the international scene grew hot, with a chance of
bomby.  Perhaps to drown out the war drums, Mister Wonderful became
increasingly long-winded:

	Then the bastard computer went kablooey sideways and so we headed off
to vacation for a week:

	Or longer:
	http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2003-July/000866.html

	But we did happen upon Mister Monkey along the way, who soon proved to
be useful with fruits:

	And all that avoiding actual work allowed us to launch the boy-crazy
antics of the Wonderful Labs Yahoo Group!
	http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2003-July/000869.html

	By August, we had borrowed a computer and set about work with no less
than half our ass:
	http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2003-August/000874.html

	But even I cannot explain October, except to say that it had been a
tough year already:
	http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2003-October/000904.html

	November is always a wash anyway, but this year I couldn't even do
unarchived reprints, because I had no access to the crystal memory banks
of the Wonderful Labs computer, which was still fully Bushed:
	http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2003-November/000912.html

	So, in summary, if it seemed like an odd year for you, imagine how it
was for Wonder.  

But now is the new year approaching, and the old man snoring, and the
lubricants a-pouring, and the time, yes, is ripe for more Wisdom to be disrobed.

Christmas kisses, Hannukah hugs, Pagan pinches and Kwanzaa quips for
thee and thine,
MW
