Hi, don't worry, penni already told me about you.

Hey, I'm at work so I can't be creating short stories right now, (and BTW, the dead painter is, in fact, very smart), but I see there was a new baby, (like you could miss it). That is a great thing, can you (briefly) fill me in on that? I may not be able to get back to you for several hours.

P.S. Uncle Blinky is a real person, my father's brother who has now invaded the computer and likes this thread. He's at home now, and can't get on since I am using my own username at work. At some point he will see this if he's not looking right now. I made a deal with him to buy his own sub to SI and not use my username. Until he does, he may show up. He's harmless; actually a very nice old goat. Hi unk.

I'm crushed. Cruelly sarcastic? Mischievous? Sadistic? Witch?
Well-witch maybe--But I see myself as Glenda, the Good Witch of Oz, you know-the one with sparkly stuff on her face and the weird voice? Or maybe Carol Kane in Scrooged--also sparkly-faced and with a weird voice. Who knew the value of a good right hook. Only I have better lingerie.
And now that I think about it, I've never heard a complaint about being barbacoa'd. Well-Freddy, but he complains about everything. We have a gentle touch with a skewer.
Oh dear. That came out wrong, didn't it.

Pete, there are a few very mischievous women--a coven of cruelly sarcastic witches, really--over here who enjoy basting men with sauce and roasting them over a spit or something.

Ah, but we're fun, and clever. Pete won't really mind. None of the other vic... um, guys has.
