son of the vampire with his arm around betsy ross-he & his society friends: Rain Man. Burt the Medicine. President Plump. the Flower Lady & Baboon Boy ...they all said "happy new year, elmer & how's your wife, cecile?" & that got them into the party free . . once into the party, Burt just stood around with a toothpick in the back of his neck watching for the doctor & tho the card game was something else in itself, Flower Lady lost her shirt & went to the bushes-who should come by but the little old wine maker trying to be helpful-"get out of the picture" said Flower Lady "you werent at the party! " the little old wine maker immediately took off his head & his belt & who do you think it turned out to be but fabian-"i dont care how many tricks you can do, just get outa here!" - - just then, this cable car on its way to Washington came rumbling down the hill carrying crossword puzzles for everybody-Rain Man yelled "watch out Flower Lady there's an elephant coming!" but by this time she was singing auld lang syne with Baboon Boy, who'd snuck up, stuck a lead weight life jacket around fabian & threw him in the swimming pool-the Plump himself tried to give a warning but he was so drunk that he fell in a barrel & a tractor being driven by some dogs ran him over & dumped him into garage ...the world didn't stop for a second-it just blew up/ alfred hitchcock made the whole thing into a mystery & huntley & brinkley never slept for a week ... the americans flag turned green & andy clyde kept pestering about a back paycheck-every gymnasium in the world was picketed ...son of the vampire, who got a divorce from betsy ross & now is with little red riding hood made it into january first carrying some empty stomachs-he & red, they got a job hiding door knobs & got paid good wages & like all people who decide not to go to any more parties, they put their money where their mouth is ...& begin to eat it translate this fact for me, dr. blorgus: the fact is this: we must be willing to die for freedom (end of fact) now what I wanna know about the fact is this: could Hitler have said it? de gaulle? pinocchio? lincoln? agnes Moorehead? goldwater? bluebeard? the pirate? robert e. lee? eisenhower? groucho smith? teddy kennedy? general franco? custer? is it possible that jose melis could have said it? perhaps donald o'connor? i happen to be a library janitor, so could you please clarify things a little for me. thank you ...by the way, if you do not have a reply to me by this coming tuesday, i will take it for granted that all these forementioned people are all really the same person ...see you later. have to take down a picture of lady godiva as the mental students are touring here in an hour ...considerately yours, Popeye Squirm
