If a Stooge falls all alone in the townhouse, does it resonate any sound?

Depends entirely upon the type of wood you're talking about. You know, you got your hardwoods, your soft woods, your junk woods. And then there are those woods they use on the golf course...

Damn, Mem, how old ARE you? Wood's a perfectly innocent subject. To keep it on topic, do you suppose Curlem's big ol' shiny head is really made of wood and filled with sawdust?

Curlem could be all wood and I can't talk about it anymore, other wise I'm going to be claiming the devil made me do it. Now really little missy...don't get me in trouble today! Well, I had my first son in College and he is 31 and I have a daughter that is 25 and that's all the info you get! (Don't believe the article about my silver or white hair or whatever the heck it said. Dang can't remember, I was busy making casseroles and couldn't concentrate!)

An observation
I was pondering this thought as I was busy mixing Jenna a Margarita. Maybe the people on the PA board are, well, you know, just happy with where they are and where they're going. IS this a possibility? A great many of them seem reasonable, well spoken yet actually beleive that their situation is both fair and equitable. Maybe there's some invisable ink in my contract that I failed to shine under a UV light, or some fine print that my aging eyes simply missed. OR !!! Maybe they're just happy with where they are.

I only say this after the episodes about having book displays in an eye doctors office or a hair dressing salon. People were more than willing to ship off their books NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!!.

I can only assume the following;

A. PA has the ability to transmit "Dope" via the internet through a cathode ray tube and directly into ones blood stream from a PC monitor. THis "Dope" substance alters the cognitive reasoning centers in the cerebral cortex thereby reducing the writers ability to detect the sour deals being offered.

B. There are several more newbies still in the "Honeymoon" phase of their PA experience. And reality will soon decend upon them like an anchor dropped from an ocean liner sinking their boat of literary hopes and dreams (Reference Caddyshack for a visual.. the Ted Night / Rodney Dengerfield boat scene.)

C. They realy truly beleive that they have "Arrived" and that it get's no better and they can NEVER be published through a traditional big publisher. Also that the "Movers and shakers are all watching the great things gong on at PA and shaking in fear."

D. Secretly they know that their work is not good enough and after several rejections from established Publishing Houses they realized that this is as far as their star will rise and they will not allow anybody to dare suggest that there is a better way of doing business because they already know that their overpriced book will never sell because it can't compete in a bookstore market.

OR Lastly

E. All of the above.

I dunno. or maybe I'm missing something. Well, I've got shoes to polish and a manicure to do.

iUnvierse resonates with a Lulu of a tone. So much so, you’d have to use a CafePress to get it into your BookLocker.

Devil's made me do a lot of things, Mem. I ain't gone to hell yet. Which article said you had silver/white hair? Was that one of those PA things where they addressed you as a man? Good grief, Mem, you COOK? You wouldn't want to adopt me, would you?

Wow, you're really taking this Cabana Boy stuff seriously. Any chance of my getting a Margarita and a manicure? Nah, I thought not.

In answer to your questions, yep, I think E. takes final jeopardy. PA has found a way to dole out virtual Soma, of that I am convinced. When the honeymoon is over, all they'll have is a bad case of cystitis.

Well, okay...I'll adopt you but if you get too fat I'm selling you to Gherkin the Cabana Boy and I'm keeping the {{{BONG}}} but only for medical purposes mind you.

Cabana Boy don't want me; he's too busy serving Jenna's every need. If I get fat, you can just sell me to the circus. Gawd, what are you cooking, anyway? To keep the bong, you have to find it first. Possession is 9/10 of the law -- or 6 months in jail if you get caught.

Message:
I called my local paper to inquire about my press release that PA sent off. The lady I spoke with was very rude and told me she had no idea what I was talking about but it wasn't her job to talk to PR people.' I then emailed her the email she and I had sent back and forth about the press release being sent. Her next reply was 'I'm not the person you need to speak with. I get 400 emails like this a day, I do not get paid to contact PR people and let them know what we will and will not run. Unless it is a major book, I don't know that you can expect coverage, and your publisher should know that.'

So MY reply to HER was 'I'm sorry to bother you, I was under the impression you were the correct person by your email response that Publish America could send the press release to you. Since I am a first time author, this is not yet a major book. However, I had hoped that my local paper would print a press release for my book, being that I am a local author. Could you please direct me to the correct person?'

She gave me the email of someone else but again told me that I can pitch my book to this other person, but unless they find a topic noteworthy, they do not recieve coverage. And being from here is not a reason to mention a local author's book.
This one speaks for itself, methinks:
