heylo sinister folk.... my friend (and fellowhead b&s fan) nathan lee from elgin IL. just sent me this email, and i found it so bizarre and hilarious that i had to share it with all of you. nathan is an odd person to say the least. enjoy! ---caleb ben aka raw p.s. tomorrow i get "i'm waking up to us"!! (from nathanhead) Dearest Leopoldt, With deepest regretation, i am writing to inform you that we cannot attend your upcoming invitational at the Dairiquee Ballroom. Oh how terribly sorry we are for being advanced absentees, but you see we seem to be having, well a slight excursion into troubleland due to our two pussycats who have gone, how can we say, a little too far into the townsquare of KooKoo land? Yes, Leopoldt, a week yesterday we released the kittys from our humble abode, as usual, for their daytime frolic. Unawares were we when Carmine came tromping home with what seemed to be a moist ring of milk around the chops and whiskers. What seemed to be! Charles drew the hankercheif from his breast pocket to wipe the "milk" away when Carmine fanged him in his jugulus vantiquis! He collapsed into our bed of vibrant (yes, beautiful) roses and recieved an adequate share of prickles from the throny stems which i spent the rest of the evening plucking free with a pair of mangled tweezers. Then he died. Good tweeze is difficult to come by these days my dear Leopoldt, remember that! Carmine told us she had grown weary of our "restrictive" feeding program and decided to fufill her fragile stomach's hunger inquiries by biting people. "I want to bite them!" she screamed. When i quickly objected to her bogagolabee nonsense she scratched my face with the front claws of her front paw, which i had TOLD Charles to have removed, and CHARLES! Charles dead from what seemed to be death, had no retort to my raising of rucous over our newly found rebellious spirit trapped in the brains inside the flesh and bone covered with tortoishell hair for Carmine, our pussycat! I had suspected that Carmine talked, yet never delved into the realm of perhaps/perhaps not. It's astonishing! TALKING PUSSYCATS! how unbennening! Well, Lucius, he is a total different story. Lucius, always favored as the head bow-wow in our abode, trusted and renouned amound his close feline colleagues, appeared to have dissapeared that night. Disappeared Leoplodt! Vanished! After dragging the cold corpse of Charles to our bearclawed bathtub, i drew a warm bath and layed his body in the water, hoping for the slight possibility of revival. Little was i to know that all along i had not been married to the living, breathing man, but a rather unique spongey toy which grew to an extraordinary size and shape! My former Charles forced his head through the bathroom ceiling, attempted to talk to me (he spoke rather unintelligebly, his soft plush lips made a sand paper meshing sound, very pet-peevish, i requested he quickly hush), then merrily boinged away down our quiet little lane. Oh, Leopoldt, this is not the half! Oh, if only time came in bundles. I would act with haste and buy them all from the hand of Father Winnenenne. I must write you in addition later. My hand has grown feeble from formering letters into words and sentences with my ink and feather. Do take care dear Leo. Await anxiously my futher explanation. ===== "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." ~Plato __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
