"Like a dark shadow upon a freshly painted wall..." Prophetic words, I'm afraid, as printed in the July Ist Parkinsaw Chronicles. "The game is afoot"-or ahoof I fear. Just finished meeting with an emissary from Mr. Dowrong (can that be right?)and emerged gravely concerned about the Connecticut connection. Definitely determined that the pig portion of the deadly duo wanted for questioning in the Pitchfork Incident in Parkinsaw was one D.D.DeVille,an AWOL Parcel Post Pig (formerly, I am now ashamed to say,from that great-though small-state of CT) D.D. had apparently been lured into a life of leisure and malicious mischief by promises of entry into the PolkaNet, where he hoped to find fast women, high times, Six Fat Dutchman on the jukebox and all the Levolager he could lap up. The suspected bad influence and suspect #2 is a reportedly recently dethroned talk-show shock-jock, truly a "boar/bore from N.Y.C." IT IS IMPARATIVE THAT WE MAKE PREPARATIONS PRIOR TO THE PARKATHON! I am now convinced that this dastardly duo plan to re-surface in Parkinsaw this 4th of July. Can the Wolverine Patrol protect the precious Porguetta? And do they eat pork? Will Ms.Emily, that fabulous, famed and fabled flying pig be receptive to the call to be Porky's bodyguard?(That is quite a lot of body to guard.) Will the aerial surveillance of those piggy "angels", the Cincy Fliers, produce safe skies over Michigan? Perilous questions for perilous times. Awaiting further instructions... Til ALL Pigs Fly, Carole P.S. Received a cryptic e-mail: "It is always awkward doing business with an alias" Do you think it is from the GandyDancer? WHO IS the GandyDancer? And will he reach Parkinsaw in time... P.P.S. Camilla, were you serious about the piggy "angel" pins? Sounds like a great idea. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
