...without making me go back through the archives, I'm not positive about Jim. Is he Beverlys lawyer? Making it obvious why Lee hates him? When is Abby finally going to give Lee some? Doesn't she see he needs it to staighten himself out? And also remind me of Agnes- isn't she an old lady? (Older than Jim, that is) And why was Lee worried about impressing Twain, when Twain obviously (hey! thats twice!!) knew of his previous whereabouts? Finally, is there a way we can work Cliche into the story to eat the new yellow bird? I love the natural cycle of life!! |

Posted At 16:37:33 11/19/2002 jett - I know it's getting cold in Detroit and the Lions are still the Lions, but that's no excuse for you leaving your homework for the rest of us. Just this once and only once, I'm going to give you the Cliff notes for the Weeping Willow Cliff notes. Here goes: Jim is the private dick from Chicago sent by Beverly to get Lee's signature on some papers (see archive 6). That's been done. Lee did get some (see future archive 17). Agnes is in her 60's (see her liver spots). I don't know why Lee was worried about impressing Twain. You'll have to ask him. That's subjective. Finally, I too love the natural cycle of life. Except for flies. No further comments. |

Posted At 06:04:58 11/20/2002 Steve, flies are fun, at least they now that I have an electric fly swatter. It looks kind of like a small tennis racket, with a series of wires running horizontally. You press 2 buttons on the handle at the same time (they're on oppisite sides of the handle, and offset by about an inch, I guess for safety) and it charges up a capacitor circuit. You then go on the hunt for the buzzing bastards. When a fly flys into the racket, and he (or she) touches two adjacent wires, the capacitor circuit discharges through his (or her) fly body, and there's an insect electrocution. This is usually accompanied by a sizzle-pop sound, and a cool blue spark. |

Posted At 11:26:18 11/20/2002 r.brown - Where can I get one? I must have one. Do they come in actual tennis racket size? I got in trouble in seventh grade science class for playing with a capacitor, wire, metal folding chairs and. . . well, my classmates. Boy, did I get a huge lecture! Since then, I've matured. Slightly. There was no cool blue spark back then. |

Posted At 11:46:55 11/20/2002 r.brown - I am here to tell you that he really did that. His teacher told said "what if someone has a pace-maker?" but he was in high school, so he didn’t take the lecture very seriously. And he hasn't matured much at all. I have water stains on my computer to prove it, and my cat gets jumpy whenever Steve picks up a small object. And Jett - Lee also hates Jim because he’s a little annoying and got Lee’s part in Of Mice and Men. Stupid dick. And he’s in his twenties and good looking. And he hurt Peter, but that’s way down on the list of reasons for Lee. Agnes propositioned Lee way back in the grocery store, and Lee surprised himself by almost saying yes. Now he can comfortably avoid the temptation because he is happily watching trains, earthquakes and volcanos with Abby. And wouldn’t YOU want to impress Twain? |

Posted At 21:17:28 11/20/2002 Steve, you can get a Racquet Zapper from stupid.com (I love this particular online store, though I can't figure out where the even got Sigmund Frued Poseable Action Figures from). The Racquet Zapper is right here: http://www.stupid.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=store&Product_Code=ZAPP it's not exactly like mine. Mine has a more rounded racquet area, and the wires only go one direction. This one has a grid, even cooler. |

Posted At 21:23:22 11/21/2002 Thanks to you, r.brown, WW I-18 will now be one day late to compensate for the time spent looking at stupid toys at stupid.com. I am going to get a fly zapper, a pooping reindeer, a pooping snowman, a pooping Roseanne. . . Oh, wait a minute, pooping Oprah. Anyway, thanks for the info. I'm going back now to look at the world's smallest radio-controlled car. The pooping one, of course. Signed, Pooping Steve |
