That dirty old rogue Edward Lear Loved to stick aubergines up his rear. When asked 'does it hurt?', His reply was quite curt - "It's cheaper than hookers, m'dear!

Christof? Hey Christof? What the fuck is happening over there in England. Has that lovely sense of irony spilled down one of those 10-gallon release toilets? There is a German that lives in Earl's Court, a mere block of the metro, down from the putrid Burger King. I forget the name of the street. He is a clever sort and obviously has stolen all you abilities of humor (yes, a German--that is how bad the situation has become). Please, see him. Save your country.

oh good christ off whats to be done? who shall save the day? we must persue this german chapie come hell or high water, we must use all our skill cunning and guile, oh dash we are sunk. Perhaps dear birthmark you could send a task force to save the day, spearhead by yourself naturally, but also to include in no particular order david hasselhoff and the baywatch guards, godswife, ronald regan, dearest mr bush, and of course how silly of me i nearly forgot sabrina the tennage witch.

I saw you walking down London Avenue the other day. You were wearing a top hat and a monocle.
