Well, dear readers, we had a splendidly splendid Unseemly Live Chat last night. Oh, what fun we had. Those who are not partaking are missing out – our next chat is one week from today and I really think those who’ve been missing out should show up en masse. There is so much going on, it’s quite exhilarating really. Our very own Susan Gordon even typed the following to one of my replies – :-Þ . She said it was someone sticking out their tongue – but to me it looked like a colon with a hat. I feel all colons should have hats, don’t you, dear readers? What is a colon without a hat? What is a hat without a colon? What the hell am I talking about? I sound like a fershluganah colon with a hat. In any case, it is too too much fun and those who have been errant and truant must try to take part next Monday.
Don’t forget, there’s a brand new radio show up, with special guest, Mr. Mark Bakalor, picking his twelve count them twelve favorite show tunes. Be sure to tune in. And don’t forget to check out our Unseemly Interview with Miss Donna Lynne Champlin – it’s a corker.
I must keep these notes short today, because the entire weekend was filled with long notes and my fingers need a break from typing. However, if you missed the weekend notes, there’s plenty for you to catch up on. Many secrets were revealed, many shocking truths were revealed, many mysteries were solved and it was all simply too too. So do catch up on things. I must say that with our traffic the way it’s been, with our live chat, with our interviews, with our radio show, soon we will be the most popular site on all the Internet. Everyone who is anyone will start coming here to be with the in crowd, to be with the hip, the cool, man, cool, the happening throng, the with-it brigade, because this is where it’s at, baby.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below or I’ll be forced to do that colon with a hat thing and we don’t want that now, do we?
:-Þ Now, I’m sorry, but that just looks like a colon with a hat. I don’t mean to harp on it and I don’t even mean to cello on it, either, but a colon with a hat is a colon with a hat and that’s all there is to it.
Well, I must hustle along here, I must not tarry or dally, because come hell or high or low water, I am keeping these here notes short today. Short Monday we shall call this. Yes, Virginia, it shall be known far and wide and also wide and far, that this is short Monday. Besides, I feel you should take this day and explore every nook and cranny of this here site – and while you’re at it, explore every cranny and nook, too.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must get dressed and get in my automobile and traverse the streets of the valley until I reach the city known as Woodland Hills, where I will park. I shall then work all the live-long day and then I shall return home to eat foods approved by Eileen and Chet Atkins. Please post a lot so I have a diversion during this long and winding day. Today’s topic of discussion: When you were growing up, what was you favorite comic book? What was your favorite magazine, and what was the first work of fiction (baby books don’t count) you remember reading and loving. Oh, how literary we are being this fine morning. I’ll start – my first fiction book which I read and loved was an Arabian Nights storybook. I read it over and over and I loved it because it took me to exotic places and I learned words like Caliph. My favorite comic book was either MAD Magazine (when it was a comic book), and then Superman. My favorite magazine was MAD (when it was a magazine), and I also liked MAD’s dervitives, Help and Cracked. I liked Look Magazine for the photos (we subscribed) and I liked looking at science fiction magazines or anything with spaceships on the cover. Your turn.
