************ Mommas, don't let your baubles grow up to be cowries....
Mister Wonderful here, on the last Friday in February, 2003. February
28th, and not a Leap Year in sight. Makes you think. Makes you think:
"I wonder when the U.S. of A. is going to secede from that meddling
International Calendar and unilaterally declare an extra week of March.
If you are not with us you are aiding the Aprilists. Oceania has
*always* been at war with Eastasia." Maybe that's just me. In any case,
tonight we have Reader Commentary from Soup to Nutjobs, so let's get wet...
************ NEWS ITEM: Did you know that the Apotheosis has a
newsletter of its very own? If enough people sign up, Mister Dark's
going to start writing the ads himself! Shred your credit cards now.
************ NEWS ITEM: http://www.musiccdsettlement.com/ Go! Reclaim
what is owed you by the Dark Lords. <<Your claim submission must be
entered on this site by March 3, 2003 at 11:59 p.m. (PST) Pacific
Standard Time, or your claim will be invalid.>> The Wonderful Labs
Legal Expert, an unrepentant genius who may have fallen off the wagon
but did *not* just fall off the turnip truck, assures us that this is
quite urgent and legitimate.
************ COMMENT: It was all over bar the crying for SHE DONE
WONDERED
http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2003-February/000792.html
wherein the eternal questions of eternal breakup were pondered. DR.
CRIPPEN weighs in first:
>I feel for you. I know how hard it can
>be to get past a lost love. You
>need closure. Think O.J. or Robert Blake.
>I hear Mr. Dark is for hire.
************ Sadly, Mister Dark fancies himself an ar-teest. He doesn't
do requests; he does surprise.
************ COMMENT: Furthermore, Mister Wonderful confessed that he
himself often dealt with breakup by <<MOVING TO NEPAL, SHAVING YOUR
HEAD, LEARNING TO LOVE YOUR INNER GOAT>>. Lucky for us, CONTINUITY COP
was there to quip:
>Can you put a little birdhouse in your goat?
************ Not if you've got a tiger in your tank. Because then,
y'know... RRRRAWWWWR, and *vooosh*, and "Blood, Mother, No!" and the dog
breaks his leg and they all chase each other around the hospital. Y'know?
************ COMMENT: The concerned author of WONDERGLITCH
http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2003-February/000793.html
asked about movie errors. SON OF SHATNER responds:
>What do you do about movie continuity
>problems? Try getting a fucking life.
>It's entertainment. We are not trying
>to solve Fermat's final theorem here.
************ Actually, I was pretty miffed when they had California
plates on the Italian cars in "FERMAT-A-GO-GO!"
************ COMMENT: Pricey pianos set the stage for EBONY AND WONDER
http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2003-February/000794.html
where we waxed whimsical about the city of Vienna and noted that
Ultravox wrote a song about it. MIDGE echoes:
>It means nothing to me -
>This means nothing to me.
************ "Oooooooooooh, Viennaaaaaaaaaaa...." Ah, to have been young
and in love in 1981, without a care in the world except how to get rid
of the gun after shooting President Reagan...
************ COMMENT: We recently checked the fridge for FULLY
HYDROGENATED WONDER
http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2003-February/000799.html
A query that began with Valentine's Day ended with mayonnaise and why
it's so darned tasty. SHERIFF, well, he say:
>My girl likes to call it a "pearl necklace".
************* Because she's a ZZ Top fan? *blink blink*
************** Nothing like ending on a low note, eh, folks? Well -
now's your chance to write in with something better! Hello? Hello?
