DISCLAIMER:
part of this week's fme issue was written in a basement
where the temperature is approximately -50 degrees. Te-he!
Just kidding. The temp is maybe 60000 degrees. Oops. I mean
40 degrees Fahrenheit. Brrrrrr. This cold temp. may be responsible
for freezing our brain cells. You have been warned!!

INTRODUCING DUMBSPEAK!!!
Some important phrases in Dumbspeak:
"Norin ya Quorin Pooc Hin" means "My best friend stole the hamper"
"Vimp e'roy snickrot" means "I have buried my uncle's earwax"
"Snip snip snip" means "My business associate has a plaster
clarinet on his wall"
"Fink j'ello whoopa diz" means "Our guest has clogged the toilet again"
"Ki wok e newt hin" means "My best friend ate the hamper"
*********
Follow these directions:
Go down First Street until you come to the squat green house and
turn left, then go due east for one mile until you reach Snich
River. Then get out of your car and swim to the other side.
Leave your left sock in the river and take the trail to Boop's
Cabin. The problem is, you wanted to get to the Eiffel Tower.
--XX was inspired by Dave Barry's writing
to write these delightful directions. If you haven't
read any of Dave Barry's books, go get a copy, but
be sure to have Kleenex, because you might start crying if you
laugh too hard!!

wISE sAGE,
mY CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS BROKEN AND i CAN'T FIX IT. dO YOU HAVE ANY
SUGGESTIONS FOR ME?
cAPLESS IN kALAMAZOO
Dear cAPLESS,
My suggestion to you is- buy a new computer. Ha-ha! Just kidding. If you
can't fix your caps lock button any other way, follow these three steps...
1) Glare maniacally at your keyboard
2) Pound on it with your fist
3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the problem is fixed,
or until your hand falls off
Wise Sage
Wise Sage,
Everytime I try to submit a "Dear Wise Sage" letter, my modem
breaks and my carrier is dropped. What can I do to prev...
NO CARRIER
Dear NO CARRIER,
It's funny, but when I tried responding to your letter, my computer just
locked up, and I couldn't offer you any sugges...

ask the Wise Sage! Email renee.f.elrod@uwrf.edu with
your questions:-)

And now, for DP's and XX's 10 ideas on what Hell could be, other than
fire and brimstone... (with occasional ideas being tossed in by the
deranged, tortured, twisted, depraved Marvin the Magnificent)
1) Being locked in a very small room with just
a tv. The tv would show continuous "Barney" videos
forever and ever..."I love you, you love me..."
Aaaaah!
1.5)Having to watch Brady Bunch episodes forever and ever
(this idea originates from Marvin the Magnificent's spleen)
2) Having the enter key on your keyboard stuck.
3) Being in a neverending cueue line that goes
nowhere
4) The neverending root canal.
5) Two words...Ford Granada (this idea comes
from the tortured mind of Marvin the Magnificent)
6) Trying to run Windows on a Mac (this idea also
comes from the tortured, twisted mind of Marvin
the Magnificent)
7) Being forced to attend country music and polka
festivals every day for eternity!!!!!! Hahahaha!
(...but DP & her brother have it in their blood and
can't help but sorta like polka!!)
8) Having every week of the year be "finals week"
(for all college students, and former college students, you
can appreciate the horror of this scenario)
9) Being hired by a large airline company to clean all
airplanes in the fleet with...a...toothbrush!!! (this idea also also
inspired by the ummmm... for lack of a better word-
mind of Marvin the Magnificent)
10) Never ever ever ever being able to read FME again!!!

Postcards from Potato Land
Potato Land is calm today. The sky is blue. The frogs are croakin'
beneath the house. It's cold. Dust is flyin' every time a green dump
truck passes by. The purple banner of Love from Cowtown, New Jersey, is
blowin' in the wind. How many years must a banner blow? The answer, my
friends, is for only God and you to know.
We're astute philosophers in Potato Land. We have our favorite sayin's
like "only fools and newcomers predict the weather in Potato Land" or a
"cow is a cow is a cow unless she's a sow. And if she's a sow, she ain't
no good to plow."
Of course, who can plow now, Brown cow?
School kids and teachers are all mad here at the home of the Potato High
Spuds cuz we got short-changed on the Christmas vacation. Just one week.
Everybody's grousin' and moanin' and moanin' and grousin'.
So's if you all could send us some Christmas cheer, we might just send you
some hash browns.
Next week, we'll talk about Potato Guns. Til then.
May your spuds go thud in the mud.
