Deer Perfesser PomO,

Round here, folks got a saying: "Shackoon ass on goo."  Thass cuz ol
Shackoon, he so goddam stubborn, he wone shift his butt nowheres, oncet its
parked.  Anyways, me, Shackoon n ol deGustibusnon S. Disputandem, a good ol
boy n scion of a fine Charleston family, we did what we do every year:
womped ourselves us up a mess of chicken-fried Hellbenders, Cottonmouth
Hushpuppies, Redbug Pie & Chickasaw Jump-for-Joy n went gator huntin in
the Okeefenokee with a shitload of frag grenades.  We had ourselves one
serious good time, Im tellin you.  Perty near everthang was a endangered
species by the time we left.  On my last day, I saw me the biggest ol bull
gator, just acroakin n bellerin away.  I was out of ammo, so I borrowed one
of Shackoons Bouncin Betties n cotched that sucker straight up the
esophagus.  Gator gumbo ever which way!  To top it off, turns out that ol
boy had swallowed a ol 45 record.  Not just any record, neither, but a rare
mint recording of George & Tammy singin duets from _die Fledermaus_. 
Anyway, that sucker Shackoon is sayin thass his disc, on account of it being
his ordnance.  Ifn he dont smarten up Im fixin to ruin his whole day with a
tactical nuke.  He keeps tellin me hes gonna make my trailer into Bhopal,
whutever that means.  So whose record is it, bein as youre a frog
ackadummy n know everythin?

      Mon cher Semper-Bob,

      This brings to mind something one of your American academics and
      ethicists said on another topic completely: "The totalization is not a
      totalization in *width*, but in *depth*, by means of which the subject
      resists any temptation of being distracted from its own self.[1]" 
      Delivery systems are crucial--I'd opt for a Sidewinder missile.  Now,
      if you'll excuse me--Mon Dieu, look at the derriere on that busboy!  


Oi! Prof PO,

Mush, I'm well + trooly fooked.  Me mates all fink I'm a sodding wanker, cos I'm
dead keen on impressing yanks wiv me education.  And yanks all laugh at me,
cos I got nuffink to say.  Me slag's given me the heave-ho + some berk's
filled me loo wiv arf a ton of rotten leeks!  I need some relief!

      Cher Loyddd,

      Ah, je m'excuse--you were saying again?  Oh, pffft, never mind...


dear professor pomo!
i'm at the end of my rope! my second husband's ex-wife's daughter, dharma
transcendance schwartzberg, is getting married to a darling young man, my
half-sister's (normandy, the one in the harem in utah) foster boy, joseph
smith foster dulles cabrini! things were going so well until dharmy's mother,
mamie-jayne diller, decided to immolate herself over a parking ticket! now
i've got to plan the whole thing myself, including getting the quints--geena,
treena, leena, deena and morag--all their bridesmaid dresses! entre nous,
they're hefty girls--i don't think there's that much chartreuse chiffon in
the world! joe's c of s ex-fiancee, dianetica clams casino, plans to show up
with a squadron of clear litigation specialists and sue everyone! and joe
has decided to come out as a tv and he & dharmy want the same dress! so do
you think the bridal registry should be floral or geometric?!

      Cher Mme. Uggams,

      "Les mots pourrissent a l'appel inconscient du cerveau, tous les mots
      pour n'importe quelle operation operation mentale, et surtout celles
      qui touchent aux ressortes les plus habituels, les plus actifs de
      l'esprit. [2]"  By the way, did you know my sister-in-law is a
      Wedgewood wholesaler?
