I’m going to be slammin’ work today, with a heap o’ writin’ to do — and a passel o’ letters to drop — before the weekend, so just move along, little to see here.
OK, one thing to see: Dead Celebrity Songs, featuring retooled lyrics to “Candle in the Wind” for most recently dead celebrities you could name. Like, oh…
Goodby Don Adams

Which reminds me: The other day I was in the bank, and picked up a copy of The Economist. Like most Yanks, I assumed this magazine would be edited for a smarter class of folks than, oh, Time magazine. Flipped to a random page. Elton John is described as “the bespectacled pop star.”
Alan threatens to shoot all writers who use the word “bespectacled.”
Off to the keys. Wish me well.

I hope it isn’t too hard to drill, or too expensive, and that you get really good water!
Oh, sorry — I thought it said, “wish me a well.”
The internet needed one more bad comedian, didn’t it?
OK, OK. Tough crowd tonight. I hope your work goes well. As in “good.” Real good.
I think my work here is done.
