[Wonderful Labs] WONDERFUL COMMENTS A LA SPACE GUITAR

[Wonderful Labs]

************* What do we do with a drunken sailor?  Aside from give him
a Best Actor nomination, of course.... Mister Wonderful here, hoisting
my jib in delight and unfurling my mainsail with joy in this, the Year
of Our Monkey 2004.  Tonight we dip a smooth hand into the Mailbag of
Love to bring out pearls of wisdom  - polished and penned by Wonderful
readers just like you, only with slightly longer nails and a twitch
developing just under the eye, right there.


************* NEWS ITEM:  Mister Wonderful is currently reading *and*
enjoying a novel that may be best categorized as a "romantic comedy."  I
know.  T-Minus Apocalypse and counting. "The Calligrapher" by Edward
Docx is a Hugh Grant film waiting to happen, yet is redeemed by the
poetry of John Donne, liberal sprinklings of the word "fuckpig," and an
unexpected appearance by "zugzwanged."

************* We told a little story this winter
(http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2003-December/000915.html)
which *may*, just *may*, have been some sort of literary alligator in
disguise.  It concerned a jester caught up in conflict for reasons that
remained unclear but THE FABLE-IST says:

>That was jester way it was...

************* Punny you should mention that.

************* We went SHOPPING FOR WONDER
http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2003-December/000922.html
in late December, discussing the androphobic Mr. Wonderful Doll
available from kitschier catalog warehouses.  DIKU DIKU wrote to us
concerning a line about choking hazards and the low age of consent in
dazzling Denmark:

>Hey wait a minute I'm in Denmark and I haven't choked 
>on any parts lately.  Maybe I'm just having trouble 
>seeing through the alcohol induced fogs of christmas 
>past, but I'm not seeing any dolls with your parts on 
>them and believe me I would recognize your parts anywhere.

************** I knew I never should have let the twins make those
plaster molds.  But it was for *science*, dammit.

************** MUSEY also had news of the talking W travesty:

>Somebody at work has one of these abominations 
>on their desk. It has a real leather belt that unbuckles -
>but its pants won't come off. That's how I knew it had 
>no association with you...

************** Hey twinklebutt, out of curiosity... just how much time
*did* you spend trying to get the doll's trousers down?  Were you on the clock?

************** SHOPPING FOR WONDER's bumper quote came from a poet,
which fact was noted by THE LENDER:

>Yay, Charles Harper Webb!

************** Yay, indeed.  Poets need more groupies, don't you think?

************** The bumper quote from THE IMPLICATE WONDER
http://www.pairlist.net/pipermail/wonderfullabs/2004-January/000928.html
was from a 1987 piece by Hunter S. Thompson.  LADY GONZO asks:

>the essay by Hunter- what age group is he referring 
>to, do you think?

>Reader request: add in movie reviews.  
>Start with Lost in Translation 
>and Finding Nemo.

************** Hunter was speaking, as always, of all people at all
times in all locations, for his is a Universal Truth.  Amen, pigfuckers.
 But also, in this situation, he meant people who might vote in 1988,
mostly those born between 1940 and 1970.  And criminal offspring is a
direct reference to members of the Bush Clan.
MISTER WONDERFUL'S FOUR WORD ESPRESSO MOVIE REVIEWS:
_Lost In Translation_: Bill funny.  Scarlett hubba.
_Finding Nemo_: Existential dread. Mine?  Mine?


************** I must away, my pretty-pretties.  Too long have we
tarried here this e'en, and the cream is growing stiff on the sideboard.
 Join us next time for more outgrabe tales of momrath wickedness, see if
you don't!
