ahhhhh... there it is!!! that ol' wit and humour i've been missing for
sooooo long.  great job.

"my mother said she wasn't expecting Mitchell to answer the phone"
why would i answer it?  it wouldn't make sense.

"she hopes she didn't sound rude"
only if professional is rude.

6:46 pm – Mitchell k., I think you’re one hot fella

oh yes, i forgot, you have company tonight.  how quickly i forget things. 
this has something to do with my short-term memory problem.  why do you
think i rarely sign the same name twice at the end of my messages?  i'm not
trying to be clever, i just forget what i wrote the time before.
i have a theory: i think that cky news is full of bigots.  this theory is
still in its infancy, though i'm convinced that the anchors and/or news
writers have an issue with manitoba's indigenous population.  yesterday's
show included a story about infighting in the first nations.  when
introducing the story, the anchor began with the word "squabbling", which,
to me, when said sounded like "squaw-bling".  further, i might suggest that
the word has a slightly patronizing meaning in the sense that such arguing
is "petty".  my second example is that cky news is notorious, in my
estimation, of reporting lameass "community" stories about how everything is
just hunky-dory (sp?).  in my memory (limited as it may be), i don't ever
recall a happy story about indigenous people (though plenty of stories
involving non-natives, including other visible minorities).  i'd argue that
the only stories involving indigenous revolve around crime (tonight, for
example, there was a nice story of substance abuse, where a couple of native
men were followed around by police and ticketed everytime (twice, actually)
they purchased listerine (cky even took it upon themselves to interview the
clearly intoxicated men who made fools of themselves).  the police then
suggested that stores should not sell such products to "people who look like
they'd use them [as alcohol]...", which seems to me would likely be natives.
  also, the police advocation of ethnic profiling (as the story would seem
to suggest that this is a native "problem") passed without comment from the
news anchors.  now, i'm not suggesting that we pull the wool over our eyes
for the sake of political correctness, but i think it does not help if
natives are constantly portrayed in a negative light... whew (had to get
that off my chest).
i don't know how far this theory will get me.

as for the trouble with your large, bald, non-sexually active tribble (your
father isn't really like a tribble at all, except that he's a problem [much
like the in-juns in our peaceful community]): in my humble opinion, i think
you (or a brother [in the literal, non-negro meaning (i jest)]) should speak
to your father and try to rationalize with him, make him see your way.  i
know this because i am an expert with fathers (tonight i went for a jog with
my dad and he really whooped my ass.  when i got tired he said, "try not to
think about the pain.  imagine that you're running through a meadow or that
you're at the beach with lots of bikinis."  does he know what mitchell world
is like?  does he know of my dream (fantasy, really) of running freely in a
meadow with lupus?  how did he know lupus looks nice in a bikini?  oh lupus,
where are you now?   sigh.
regards,
lupus' mother

6:58 pm – lupus

after writing that last email, i began to wonder to myself, who is lupus? 
am i lupus?  is donkey lupus?  where does lupus' mother fit in all of this? 
why does lupus' mother sound just like him?  i wanted to know!! i wanted to
get to the bottom of the problem!!  i decided to search the internet for
clues to my ponderies.  i immediately came across the "lupus canada"
website.  on its homepage it says, "Working together. To conquer Lupus."  oh
my!!  i know one place where poor ol' lupus would want to avoid.  no wonder
the boy has a complex: people are really trying to get him.

the search continues....

10:54 pm – Re: lupus


 i was thinking tonight (instead of reading mr. lafeber's fine account of the
relations between central america and the u.s.) that the hypocritter's
crowning achievement should be a musical based on lupus.  it would be
brilliant: our 'sgt. pepper', our 'tommy', our 'i am not a freemdoom'.  it
could have tragedy (lupus' cruel treatment by his mother), conflict (a
confrontational duet between lupus and his mother), joy (lupus' reawakening
and recruitment by a urban guerrilla movement [which is where we can subtly
admit to our terrorization of winnipeg]), and love (lupus' love affair with
someone [obviously someone whose astrological sign is cancer]).  i think it
would be most excellent.  the best part would be our open defiance of lupus
canada which "cannot conquer the boy as if he were an inflammatory disease".

goodnight moon,

andrew l. webber
