"This is the beginning of the magazine."--quote from melvan, well-known
collector of deodorant containers.
I AM NOT!!!
****Thrilling, ain't it???****
(eener likes putting asterisks on either side of things like that)
Welcome to Farm Macheenery!! ****insert flashing neon lights here****
eener is in Wisconsin this weekend, visiting melvan! Whee! eener's been
draging melvan all around River Falls this morning doing wedding planning.
Photographers...cake bakers....reception sites....fresh bananas....
P.S. Have you ever wondered why "Arkansas" is pronounced "Arkansaw" and
Kansas isn't pronounced Kansaw??

= OH SNOP!! =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
life's little annoyances...
by eener.
If you folks read last week's episode of "Oh Snop" you know that eener was
eaten alive by a huge chunk of chemically imbalance Spam. No really.
More like flooded out of home and so living in a hotel currently. (by now
you're probably thinking...sheesh, would she please get to the POINT?)
okay, so here's the oh snop for this week.
My mom visited me recently, at the same time Darin and I got flooded out
of our condo due to a wacked out sprinkler system. One of the days mom
was there (easter, to be exact), we wanted to go shopping at bridal
places, etc. We jaunted off to the shopping mall....got to the parking
lot......empty. Maybe one or two cars. Hmmm......something is wrong.
It's easter, ferpete'ssake!!! It hadn't occurred to either of us that
everything would be closed. Doh!! The end.

eener screams: I"ve got it! ARghhh...I hate it when a quotation mark
comes up instead of an apostrophe....let's do "Gone with the Wind!"
eener: Otay...let's do it!
This week...join us as we parody "Gone With the Wind".
Narrator: Hello. My name is Izzy. I'll be your narrator this evening.
Buffy: Oh great. We have a narrator named Izzy.
Producer: Places, everyone!!!!
I.M.: Uh...where do I go?
Producer: I don't care. Just go somewhere.
Esmerelda: I want to be Scarlett!!
Producer: okay, you can be Scarlett...now...who will be Rhett.....Howard!
I think that'll be your part.

Producer: Ok. Fine. Let's just get going on this, ok??
Esmerelda: Hey wait a minute...haven't we already done 2 plays already
already? And we screwed 'em both up pretty bad. Nobody follows their
lines...
Al: So?
Esmerelda: Nothing.
Producer: Okay...scene one! Take one!
The scene is a beautiful Southern mansion. The camera zooms in on
Esmerelda who is sitting on the front porch.
Producer: ***Suddenly realizing*** OH no! We forgot to cast someone in
Mammy's role!!! Who's going to be Mammy? Go get I.M.!
Narrator: HEY! I haven't gotten to say anything yet!
Producer: sigh Scene one! Take two!
The scene is a beautiful Southern mansion. The camera once again zooms in
on Esmerelda...and then zooms in closer to Esmerelda's eyes, which she is
rolling.
Esmerelda: Let's start this play tomorrow. Because tomorrow is another
day.....
Howard: Frankly my dear, I don't give a flying fig.
Al: Figs fly? Hmm....Figs Fly in Fred's Face...
Narrator: I'm going to get a word in before we END THIS THING!!!!!!
Word.
I.M.: When figs fly!
THE END?

A recommendation from eener: amusement parks! I recently acquired a six
flags season pass, since I now live in Atlanta. Roller coasters are
fabyouuuluss! I love hills. BIG hills. Loops are okay, but just not as
fabbbbyyyyouluss as hills. BIG hills. Big biggggg hills. The ones that
make you feel like your stomach took a left turn at Albuquerque. eener
does admit: the free fall ride at six flags still scares me though! Whee!
I mean...they bring you up to the top of this HUGE tower...hold you
there...you wait...in anticipation...and POW they drop you straight down.
Eeeeeeeek! I will go on it though. Sometime this summer, I hope to make
it over to California. At the six flags there, they have a roller coaster
type ride that gets up to 100 mph! It's another one of those freaky
straight drops though. Luckily my fiance Darin is a roller coaster phreek
too! Speaking of my fiance, just thought I'd let you all know...we're
getting married August 30th! Feel free to send us extravagant gifts!
(tee hee!) ***end of babbling by eener** (for now)

Note from melvan: we got new spatulas at work!!! woohoo!!!
(sorry, but when you work at a restaurant, you get overly excited about
little things like that)
Not only that, but we finally have a toilet paper dispenser in the
employee bathroom! The sink still doesn't work, but at least we have a
toilet paper dispenser!
(don't worry, there ARE other sinks in the building, and we DO wash our
hands)
note from eener: No WONDER that pizza tasted so weird....
note from melvan: eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww!!

** The Wise Sage never rests! Well, actually she does, but "The Wise
Sage Rests" wouldn't be too good of an opener for the Wise Sage column,
now would it? Anyway, send Wise Sage questions to eener@juno.com
O, Wise sage,
I am a worried student. Is there any way I could gain some of your
knowledge and wisdom so that I may survive this school year? Is there
something I can buy or something I can do which could guarentee success?
Sincerely, Concerned
Dear Concerned,

***The Wise Sage apologizes for any unanswered questions you might have
sent her. Currently, the main computer she uses is dismantled due to a
broken sprinkler system and the whole incident involved in that...she is
using a laptop at the moment...and doesn't have all the questions readily
available! They will be answered ASAP** (gosh, those asterisks are
pretty**** )
