Subject: "Start spreadin' the news..."
Written By: EmiLoca on 03/28/05 at 9:46 am
Yes, that's right - I'm taking a trip to NYC that will last from Thursday - Sunday. Any NYC-area parody writers, be on the lookout for an Emi in the area!
I realize the dangers of posting my hotel information, room number and social security number in a public forum, so if anyone would be interested in scheduling a brief 'meeting' (because I would be oh-so-honored if someone were to give me even a discreet wave), please give me a Personal Message and I'll fill you in on the rest.
And yes, I will be armed with mace.

Emi's coming to my hometown? Does this mean I might finally get some acknowledgement from her? I'd better break out the kinishes, Yankees tickets and Famous Ray's Original Pizza! Oh, And my charming, slightly abrasive New Yorker attitude 8) It's never done me wrong ;DÂÂ
Eat your heart out, Brattoni! :D

I'd just get jealous if I found out you and Charlie had gone through a tub of margarine behind my back.

*licks butterknife* No worries, mate. Ha, I just used Aussie slang. Croy-key!
As far as hooking up in a bar, I've used my mad MS Paint skillorz to make an utterly convincing state ID...now all I have to do is wait until the bartender himself is too drunk to read more than thirteen words at a time, show him this beauty, and I'll be downing Shirley Temples like my husband left me for a robot.

Tub of margarine...so, is that what the kids down under are calling it these days?
Anyway, as for the ID situation, I find that my friends the Gerorge Washington twins usually clear up that misunderstanding :)

Pity, we only have the Queen's head on our currency. What horrors this brings to mind should Camilla be our future queen, every Commonwealth in the world will burn the new notes to stop the epidemic of nauseau induced whenever purchasing goods.

No no, my dear, you cannot disagree with the triple ;D. It's like the Bill of Rights (well, except for the gun part), it just cannot be trifled with.

Hmm.. the constitutional whiz-kids here can't decide if Camilla will be queen or not. Since it should be the monarch, not the monarch's spouse on currency, though, it'll be Charlie's mug shot on the cash. Still not a pleasant thought :-\\
Having said all that, I'm fairly convinced the Queen is gonna outlive Charlie, just to annoy him :)

If the Queen is going to outlive me, I'm in big trouble :-\\
So, EmiLoca, let me ask you. Do you read your PM's, or do you just have a "no Charlie" filter installed? ;)

Oooooooooh, so now you're sending PM's, huh? What's next, ecards?
Well, you can be sure I'll be drawing funny little moustaches on your face when it becomes currency, mister!

I'm not worried about that. By the time I'm POTUS, there will no longer be currency. Goods and services will be paid for in love. Precious, precious love.
Oh, and we'll all travel in tubes. Gotta love the tubes.
The national motto will be changed from "In God We Trust" to "Everybody Sucks but Overlord Decker"
The National Anthem will be changed from "The Star Spangled Banner" to "Everybody Sucks but Overlord Decker"
The national pastime? Minesweeper.
Oh, and once the assimilation to America of "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin is complete, we'll find WMDs in the outback and blow the whole continent/country (seriously, what's the deal with that?) to smitherines. Have fun!

Yes, koalas originate from Australia.
As does the correct pronounciation of 'cloaca'.

Thanks, Luke. It is a lovely day in New York, let me tell you...oh wait, what's that? Breaking news - it's scheduled to RAIN ALL FOUR DAYS OF EMI'S TRIP. Then it's going to get sunny again, all to agitate our Nebraskan newcomer. It sure does look like a dismal weekend for me! *cheesetastic anchorsmile*
Back to you, Tony.

We turn now to an excerpt from the play-that's-performed-after-the-play-that-BadLuke-is-the-undeniable-star-of-since-DirectorLuke-gave-him-free-'reign'-to-write-and-perform-in-the-opening-and-closing-monologues. Bob and Daphne are in the nursery of a hospital.
Bob has just joked that his wife died in childbirth and coaxed Daphne to stay when she was enraged at his sick humour.
Bob: So, where are you from, Daphne?
Daphne: You know my name?
Oh! Oh, of course. I'm sorry. I just...
Bob: Where are you from?
Daphne: Oh, uh, I'm from Nebraska.
Bob: Oh!
Daphne: A small town.
Bob: Well. That explains it.
Daphne: What?
Bob: That explains everything.
Daphne: What?
Bob: Nebraska. Wow. I bet they're all like you in Nebraska. Happy, smiling...riding horses, milking cows.
Daphne: I've never been on a horse in my life.
Bob: Uh huh.
Daphne: And I've never touched a cow.
Bob: Sure, sure, I believe you.
