 BARDSQUILL:
grrrrrrrrrr 
 BARDSQUILL:
think I'm burnt-out
FRIEND:
think I know what
you mean! 
 BARDSQUILL:
5 years ago I published
Chasing
Shadow, that was IT.  A thousand pages later only thing that says
it all was the story in the first place 
FRIEND:
ain't that the
way it always goes! 
 BARDSQUILL:
In the tale, the
evil govt. agents bust daddy and daughter for telling stories, ruins the
status quo.  What else needs to be said? 
FRIEND:
and what is that
statement about life imitating art?? 
 BARDSQUILL:
maybe I'll push
all the rest back and run it again 
FRIEND:
world has gone
insane.... 
 BARDSQUILL:
Daddy gets placed
in the mind-munching machine, saved by daughter by turning him back into
a bear, who busts the straps and escapes with the help of a houseplant. Makes
perfect sense!
 BARDSQUILL:
Now Bear must save
daughter, but doing a crappy job, no houseplant THIS TIME! 
FRIEND:
maybe you need
an EGGplant! 
 BARDSQUILL:
good idea 
FRIEND:
........sigh......
FRIEND:
Kent...are we going
to die soon? 
 BARDSQUILL:
will if we don't
vocally resist 
 BARDSQUILL:
everybody scared
to resist, best way Ghandi-style.
FRIEND:
we always resist....may
be the only two left...but WE always resist 
 BARDSQUILL:
yup 
FRIEND:
you and me against
the world..do dah do dah 
 BARDSQUILL:
I get more email
from concerned readers telling me to lay low, gadz, what does it take to
put a burr under their tails? 
 BARDSQUILL:
most of the fear
comes from psyops 
FRIEND:
yesss..i know.....
 BARDSQUILL:
kenty-psyops them
dummies back 
 BARDSQUILL:
America falling
to poop, bunch of wimps. 
FRIEND:

 BARDSQUILL:

still sittin around blathering about correctness, whilst the jackboots take
over downtown DC
FRIEND:

 BARDSQUILL:

they have tossed us dum stuff to argue about so we don't totally get it.
FRIEND:

whether to say Indian or Native American...
