[Wonderful Labs] THE CRUNCH OF WONDER

[Wonderful Laboratories]

Dear Mister Wonderful,

	I've saved every email sent out by Wonderful Labs since I signed up
with you, and now my mailbox is almost full!  What should I do?

Sincerely,
A very big fan of yours

Dear Orson Welles,

	Well... I don't know.  Have you tried reading 'em?

	It's probably not a good idea, really.  Reading, I mean.  At least not
around here.  At least not since Doctor Suicide brought those
inspirational pamphlets over.  Not when Mister Monkey has been apesh--,
I mean, banan--, y'know, enthusiastic over the photocopier lately.  And
certainly not if Mister Dark was serious about having developed a
virulent form of pun which can disguise itself as an apt simile.

	It lies in wait, deep in the camouflage of a detective novel or
somesuch, like Elvis riding a panther through a crowded velvet art
auction - then it strikes!  Leaping in through the victim's eyeballs,
the viral language burrows deep into the cerebral cortex, extends barbed
ideahooks, and then it feeds on old dreams and grows fat in the
imagination.  Eventually, the poor reader can't contain the pun any
longer and it bursts out into the world again, like the man who escaped
from prison with a file hidden in a cake - his wife baked his pardon.

	
	Hmm. Maybe you should burn down the Internet, just to be safe.

Mister Wonderful Recommends:  Spatula Science! The Aunt Jemima
Treatment!  If you want to picture Alton Brown, imagine Thomas Dolby
became a chef in the Matrix...  He taught me how to sear like a sailor. 
He wants to show the world a better way to scramble eggs.  He believes
in sharp knives.  He attached a hair dryer to his outdoor grill.  And
that's... good fuckin' eats.
