[Wonderful Labs] The Difference Between Wrong and Wonder

[Wonderful Labs]

Dearest Readers,

	So I'm sitting on the paisley ermine carpet in the Pyramid Suite of the
Roundabout Inn and Towers consulting the Potrzebian Book of The Dead and
casting scarred platinum coins to learn my Wu Ching fortune, right?  All
perfectly normal, except perhaps for the Devil's Tower of banana peels
and the half-eaten wine glasses sticking out from under the clown shoes
- but nothing that cannot be explained by *science*, dammit.

	Try telling that to the hotel cops.  Some *tourist* complains about the
pale green fire from another world and armies of the damned on the march
and suddenly it's a crime to fill in your Day Planner with any accuracy.

	Thus, it was back to the room above Amelia Earhart's bar for your
friendly neighborhood Mister Wonderful.  My deadly companions have not
slept in 18 days - "The Olympics are coming up," they mutter - and so
have little concern for matters of lodging.  Mistake me not.  Even I do
not care where I lay my head, so long as I have a head to lay.  But I
need to be in a place where Miss Yakamoto can contact me with news of
Wonderful Laboratories' ailing computing device, AMBIVAX.  Last I heard,
the techs were sure it needed a cash-sucking upgrade.  Apparently, not
enough of my money gets drawn into its silicon hole.


	You know, I met the Buddha on the road the other day and I let him know
there were rumours of a CIA hit squad bobbing in dinghies beyond the
coral reefs just *waiting* for him to try his enlightenment bullshit in
the new world.  "You want me to take them out, Sid?" I offered.  "I'm
jumping like Jesse Owens at a Klan Bake for an excuse to get back to the
States and I've got a monkey with a hair trigger."

	"Oh, Mister Wonderful," he said, laughing his big honey-sweet laugh. 
"You are always so funny.  You kill me."


	So my decadelicious vacation on Potrzebie campily continues,
phantasmafans.  Keep watching the skies.



Yours with one hand clapping and the other doing something more interesting,
MW

Mister Wonderful Recommends: Books that come out swinging.  And C-SPAN2
takes you there!  The channel you'd never watch if it weren't for
commercials elsewhere scores huge Wonderpoints by putting Molly Ivins up
on a stage with Al Franken, but it's Al himself who takes home the big
cake for bringing out his new book, "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell
Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right" and using it to nail Bill
O'Reilly to the wall.
