- Some lucky newlyweds out there are going to get a surprise wedding
gift from
Tom Hanks. Seems Tom and wife Rita Wilson were walking through a museum
where a
wedding was about to take place and Tom picked up an unattended camera,
took a
picture of himself and walked away. (National Enquirer)

- Customers at Gadsby's restaurant in L.A. got a surprise of their own
when a
guy in a gorilla suit burst into the eatery and started monkeying
around,
irritating a few of the patrons. No word on whether the perturbed diners
changed
their tune when they unmasked the ape and found Jim Carrey (a
soon-to-be-ex-friend of the owner). (Globe)

- Danny DeVito's been having some animal problems of his own. He started
hearing
an owl outside his window and went to investigate. Well, it wasn't just
an owl,
but a whole nest complete with chicks, so Danny won't be relocating the
owl
anytime soon. More likely, he'll have to make like an ostrich and bury
his head
under the covers. (National Enquirer)

- Guitarist Brian Setzer, formerly of the Stray Cats, goes a little
overboard
when it comes to washing his hands. For instance, if he eats chicken, he
washes
his hands five times. And he washes his hands another 10 times before he
picks
up his guitar. Maybe he should have though a little harder before he
titled his
latest album "Dirty Boogie." (Globe)

- Operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti has an interesting approach to
dieting.
Whenever he gets hungry, he grabs his brushes and paints pictures of
food.
Judging by his size, those paintings must be good enough to eat.
(Examiner)

- Nice tip, part 1: While eating out recently, Drew Carey noticed a
waitress got
stiffed by a surly customer. Drew slipped her a $50 bill to make up for
it.
(Examiner)

- And continuing in the spirit of nice tips: David Hyde Pierce was
surprised
when he counted his change at a Starbuck's and found a rare coin in with
the
rest. As happy as David was, the cashier was bummed she didn't notice
the Indian
Head Nickel herself. No, it wasn't a case of "finder's keepers" -- David
left,
but came back a couple of days later and presented the woman with the
coin,
which appraised at $1,200. (National Enquirer)

Darlings - do many people get married in museums? And what sort of
museums? Car? Wax? I wonder where I would get married? Darlings - if I
got married, where should I get married? It's just nothing I've ever
thought of before. I certainly wouldn't get married in a church. I
hate the cheap theatrics of it all. How about a theatre then? I
wonder.

Oh how zany. Showbiz folk are always doing the zany things. Was he
high on crank or something? It's just so zany.

Good lord - these showbiz folk are forever suffering, aren't they
darlings? Should we put together a fruit basket and cab it over to
him? I hate to think what the poor children are being put through,
what with actual *birds* in their yard. Nature is obviously out of
control again - I knew it was a mistake to ban DDT.

5 times for chicken and 10 for a guitar? Good god - I'd hate to think
what he does when he masturbates. He probably just cuts them off and
sends them to the cleaners first.

Poor Luciano Pavarotti. I mean look - he's rich and famous and trying
to slim, and the tabs just sling the muck like he didn't have a
feeling in his entire body. How rude. Let's send him a fruit basket
too, sweeties - or perhaps a still life.

Why does this just drip of inuendo to me, sweeties. It sounds like a
cheapo visit to the cathouse. Speaking of which, I've got lunch at
Princess' today - but of course she'll be getting all the tips from me
- I'm just forever giving her the good advice, even though she's far
too off her rocker to really listen it seems. Oh well. I'll have a few
smart cocktails first to fortify me for the crazyness of it all.

Oh how impossibly rude!!! And yes, darling - there's one not half an
hour from my house. But I wouldn't get married there, sweetie - it's
non-smoking. Good god - that's a complication I hadn't even thought of
- it would have to be somewhere I could smoke - and just nowhere lets
you smoke anymore - it's just awful how society has crumbled in that
respect. But I can't get married outside - it's too big and windy and
not one-bit nice. No - it has to be inside, and it has to allow
smoking. And drinking. I'll probably want to be very drunk. Oh this
wedding is turning into a disaster, sweeties. I can't be married in a
disco - it would just be so *expected* of me. Oh - and I don't want
any food at all around - I'm not having a bloody barbeque, sweeties -
this is a high society wedding of a major international celebrity. So
it can't be a restaurant either. What's left? Funeral homes? Can you
smoke at a funeral home? The last time I was in one, you could - I
mean really - the person's dead, so it's not like you're going to hurt
them. Maybe it has to be a disco. I can't think of any place else that
meets the primary criteria of allowing drinking and smoking, but with
no food and it's not outdoors. Oh - darlings! I just thought! A boat!
I could get married on a boat!!! Oh yes! I adore the idea! Oh darlings
- that's settled then - I'm getting married on a boat! But what kind
of boat? Darlings - what kinds of boats can you get married on? Oh -
and I don't want the bloody Captain to be the marriage person official
- that's just too TV. I'd need someone vaguely qualified - I don't
want any new age loon sending me into matrimony after all. I think I'd
want a Judge. Yes. A Judge would be alright. Not a Minister though.
I've never met a Minister - then again, I've never met a Judge. But a
Minister is more liable to *pry* and try to make me holy - and that's
not at all the point. I don't trust organized religion - which isn't
to say I trust the legal system either - but at least the legal system
would only ever send me to jail - whereas organized religion could get
it in its head that it wants me to go to Hell. You see, sweeties,
that's just overstepping the boundries, I think. They've got no right
to say such things to me - that's a matter between me and whatever
vaguely imagined great power there is out there, if indeed there - but
I think there is, but I don't like to think about it too much, as it's
just too depressing. I mean it's *all* about death isn't it? And who
wants to think about that - especially on their wedding day?! No. It's
got to be on a boat of some sort, and with a Judge. And I don't want
the boat packed with invited guests or anything. Right now there
aren't very many people I know who I would like to have around me on
such a special occasion. They'd only wreck it - they always do. So
maybe it's got to be on a cruise. But not one of those tacky Kathie
Lee fire traps with kids and stops in Porta Lamarcha or where ever the
bloody hell they always drop anchor so you can trot off and buy your
little trinkets and pretend you're more "worldy" because you got some
buggery book bag with a forgeign language written on the side of it or
what ever. I guess that leaves only the QE2. Well right there that'll
drop most of my circle out, so that's a good thing. They're too bloody
cheap to pay, and I'm certainly not going to go broke having them
around so they can wreck things. So it's a trip to England or France -
the QE2 still goes to France, doesn't it? Or did it ever? Oh well,
these days who cares - there's no difference anyway, what with the
Chunnel and the Euro, and all that crap. So a trip to England or
France, and then Concorde back to New York and then what? Oh darlings
- this wedding stuff is tedious. I understand now why my brother
eloped in Thialand and got married by a cab driver. Not really - but
the cab driver is in the only wedding pic they have. Oh pictures. I
hadn't thought of that either. I'm too tired to think of all this
right now. But I just know that Ripley's is right out, and that's a
very bad suggestion Princess!

Storming Off To See If I Can't Sleep Now

(PS: I just reconsidered - the QE2 isn't a good idea. I want a smaller
boat. Perhaps a fishing boat. I was on one last year, and it was fun.
Yes. But maybe something a bit bigger. A yacht would be nice, but it
sounds so pretentious. What's in between a fishing boat and a yacht?)

Oh Mumsey feel comfortable in anything, darling - almost as
comfortable as in nothing, actually. A change-maker thingy is not what
it's called though - it's called a change purse. I doubles as a heavy
projectile if the scene turns ugly. You fill it with small change, and
hand pennies out for people's thoughts. Then when they tell you their
thoughts, you demand change. See? Change purse. It's a tremendous
thing, and something Mumsey invented I think.

A casino boat? Hmmm. Is there a floor show? Lots of feathered boas and
shifty underworld types flitting about? Showgirls galore and Debbie
Renolds screaming "I'm bankrupt!"? Oh I hope Carrie Fisher is there -
she's long been a fabulous person I think. What's she up to these
days? Anyway, casino boats sound fine, sweetie, but I don't know that
we have any up here in PEI. Oh - and I think I'd have to be married
here. Or near here. Going away would make it seem unreal and
dream-like. As if I were in a road show of some tacky play or
something. Some Neil Simon creaker. No, it would have to be here I
think. Maybe Halifax. Oh yes - that would be nice. Charlottetown or
Halifax or Summerside harbours. And then the boat could zoom out and
sail around for a while until it got boring and then we'd head back in
town and do the town. I think Halifax would be tremendous. Or, if we
had a fast boat - sail from Summerside *to* Halifax, with a stop in
Ch'town to pick up more guests. As long as it didn't take more than a
few hours. How fast do boats go, darlings? I suppose it could be an
overnight thing. Have like a pre-wedding happening of some sort - stay
up til all hours, and then arrive the next morning and have a little
ceremony - nothing much. I hate long ceremonies - it's just needlessly
draggy. If you're getting married, get bloody married - don't prolong
the boring bits just to get your money's worth. No - but there would
have to be drinks afterwards. A roast, perhaps. Not a pot roast - I
mean a roast - like those old awful things they used to have on TV in
the 70's with all the has-been celebs who told bad mean jokes about
each other. So awful! But we had sort of that sort of thing for my
brother, and I truly enjoyed it - it was nice to say nice things to
people in front of other people for a change - quite a novelty for me,
actually. Who would I have though? Oh god, darlings - I'd love it if
it were one of those "This is your life" bloody type affairs. People I
*like* from throughout the years. But then there'd be complications -
who to sit where - and who would be my best-best friend? Oh dear. That
would lead to a big row. I'd almost have to have two weddings - but of
course that's sheer showbiz, and probably bad luck. No - smaller is
better. No more than 50 people. You know darlings, I've been invited
to a wedding in September - not the church part - though I was invited
to that too, but said I'd rather go to the reception as church's
aren't my "thing" - even though technically, it *is* at my church -
Trinity United - we're United Church I believe - but I'd feel funny
going into my church after 23 years. I haven't been in one since 1975
when I was a mere ovum. Oh - I've been in churches since - but just as
a tourist, when they weren't having a do of any sort - they're
tremendously intersting places by times. Anyway, I've been invited to
go to the reception, and it would be me and Pegs and three other
couples at our table. I *could* be fun, but then it probably wouldn't.
I think I don't want to go because of my own romantic disasters of the
past six months - I don't want to be reminded how uncoupled I am,
despite my every bloody best effort. But then I was invited to
celebrate someone's happiness who I really like, so I'd feel bad not
going. I'd have to get them an extra-nice gift to try and compensate,
but it wouldn't be the same. Maybe I'll go - I have to decide this
weekend.

I'm still not convinced, sweetie - I suppose you can't really plan a
wedding by yourself - but then I'm me, and nobody can say no to me so
I'll get my way anyway even if they say no. I'm still wondering about
that wedding next month though - should I go darlings?

Oh darling - wouldn't that be just such fun? But the Mississippi is
too far from PEI - it's nowhere near the Atlantic Ocean. But then
again, apparently our old "Abegeit" ferry we Islanders all loved here
was sold to people in Chicago about 15 years ago and turned into a
casino. Darlings - does anyone know if it's still there?

Need I remind you that when it comes to LCM selecting undies, the word

And of course it would be a compliment. To be a "snatch" is to be an
extra good "catch" darling. Like when you're in a store and you see
the most perfect thing to wear, but someone else is already trying it
on, and it's the only one - well you just have to "snatch" it! So to
be called a "snatch" is to be praised. It's my new word, darlings -
I'm going to be using it at every conceivable opportunity. Yes - I

We could always announce that we're marrying each other, sweetie, for
the presents. That's what happened in Joe Keenan's BLUE HEAVEN. No,
wait--that turned out badly--mobsters showed up and shot up everything,
including the presents. Never mind.

Uhmmm, that wasn't quite what I meant, but I like your idea better.
Although instead of offering people pennies for their thoughts, you
charge them dollars for listening. But maybe you have to be a
psychiatrist to get away with that.

No, not really. Cocktail waitresses, bartenders, assorted crewpeople,

afraid.

Now that poses a huge problem, sweetie. I was thinking more along the
lines of you coming to the boat, you see. I don't quite know how we'd
manage to get it from its normal spot to yours. I suppose I could say I
was thinking of buying it and wanted to take it for a test drive, but
I'm not at all sure the captain, crew, and owners would go for that
idea. I'm afraid we're, in a manner of speaking, sunk.

Isn't it delightful that LCM neglected to actually use the word snatchy in
his sentence, thus allowing me to quote it in a "being too literal again"
reply?

Dahling, I have racked my brain to sort this out, and I've decided you must me
Cairo, Ill, Cicero is a suburb of Chicago, completely land locked, and known
for being one of Al Capone's haunts. I just adore the idea of a duet with you,
but wouldn't LCM's wedding require something, um, less romantic? Perhaps a
Hessian drinking song? Or maybe a medley of commercial jingles about diarrhea,
nicotine, and Milk of Magnesia.

Really. Even though tabloids aren't known for their sensitivity, they
should have been able to figure that one out.

The person who'd really be kicking him/herself would be the one who gave
it to the cashier. That was one expensive cup of coffee.

It's been years, but back when I was doing publicity for my book on film
censorship, the Hollywood Casinos hosted a launch party attended by Jane
Russell and myself. I thought it was Cicero, but I could be mistaken. I
was surprised to learn that Illinois law, though it forbids gambling on
dry land, allows it on ships when they're not docked. Hollywood Casinos
ran a small paddlewheel line out of some place approximately one hour out
of Chicago. And it may not have been the MIssissippi. It may have been
the lake.

I got to attend the annual chair auction that weekend, too, and it was
quite delightful.

That little detail is often overlooked or has been amended, because now,
if the river is too rough to travel, the casino stays open. The one I'm
familiar with in Metropolis, IL (home of Superman; they have a big
statue) does anyway. The resort used to be owned by Merv Griffin, BTW,
and in one restaurant the walls are covered with B&W photos of Merv with
various guests from his show. It's kind of fun to try to figure out
who's who, what with the 70's hair and bell bottoms most of them were
wearing. Everybody kind of looks like Donny Osmond. Except for the
women; they all look like Joan Collins.

I had no idea what a chair auction was, so I went looking. Found this,
dated Nov. '96:
"7th Annual Celebrity Chair Auction Benefit for Cycle and Christopher
House,
featuring leading chefs of Chicago, Merchandise Mart, 8th flr., 6p.
Chairs
from Muhammad Ali, John Travolta, Hillary Clinton, Princess Diana,
Dennis
Rodman, Michael Jordan, and more." Is this the type of event you
attended? Sounds like fun.

Not to mention the surrealness factor. Isn't there a display of Mumsey in
that museum? It's hard enough to tell Mumsey from a wax sculpture at the
best of times. You really don't want your guests (who will be slightly
discombobulated by the "vision" of two Mumseys in the same room) to run
screaming when the version which they thought was wax begins to move.

Darling, why not run over to Green Gables and see if you can have your
wedding there? You could pretend that you're Anne and the Princess is
Josie Pye. Of course, you'd have to find someone to play Diana, Marilla and
Gilbert and the rest...but I'm sure with your organizational abilities
it'll be a snap. Just think, a Victorian country wedding. You could be
on the bleeding cut edge of a new fashion, sweetie. Again.

Yes. The food was fabulous. Celebrities donated chairs that were either
autographed or specially designed. As I understand, the people working on
this thing spend the entire year recruiting celebrities who pass through
Chicago. So, in addition to local sports stars, Siskel and Ebert and that
sort of thing, they have chairs from visiting classical singers, actors on
tour, politicos touting books, etc. My fave was the subway seat on which
Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay made love in "Risky Business." It was
years after the film had come out, but somehow they got the thing and even
had it autographed.

Hmmm...just like the Prohibition days when cruise ships just sailed out
over the three-mile limit so that people could drink as much booze as
humanly possible. One wonders if the same sorts of things happened on the
inlands seas as well...

Ahh, well, *that* explains it! I know very little about contemporary Chicago,
'cause that's the BIG city, (spelled S-o-d-o-m-a-n-d-G-o-m-o-r-a-h), and we
cover our eyes if we even have to fly *over* it.

We had a grande scandalle recently when a pub-lick official got a gambling boat
for Galena, where the only river dried up *years* ago. I think they found a
bit of damp swamp ground to try to comply, but only in the most titular of
manners.

Only if in some hitherto unknown language "Emily Post" means "Who's an
insane old harridan that wants putting down?"

Them, of course Princess is the answer.

Darling - are you saying they took a perfectly good gambling boat and
stuck it in a swamp?! Oh dear. That's just not right, sweetie. They
should have used a hovercraft, or perhaps a raft. As for the titular
comment, I shan't touch that with a ten foot pole.

LCM: (helpingly) Shocked and appalled? We all are, darling - it's a
tremendous scandal, after all. Of course *I've* never shopped at
Bendels, or seen anything at Steppenwolfe or the Goodman - and the
Bistro wouldn't give me garlic, so I had to roast some paprika
instead. I didn't leave a tip, though, and I stormed off in complete
yet elegant hysterics.

LCM: (being nice, just this once) Darling - I'm world famous for my
manners and poise, but even Mumsey and I defer to the Pink Princess in
all things to do with politeness and such. She's a tremendously
fabulous person and I adore her. Oh - and yes - she's got tits til
Tuesday, as befits a woman with a heart as large as hers. (back in
bitch mode now) Which reminds me, sweetie (grabbing his cocktail from
the table) - your breast has been in my drink for half an hour now
and I believe it absorbed most of it, so I'm going up the bar and
charging a pitcher of them to you.

Newark - and we only agreed to that because we needed the money.

LCM: (more outraged) Darling - the only time people run screaming from
Mumsey is when she wants them to. At all other times she is adored and
worshipped like some very fabulously attired godess type person, only
with a more thong than toga theme.

Oh yes, darling - it's the sequel they need! Here's the cast:

Anne: LCM
Marilla: Mumsey
Gilbert: Peter
Diana: Princess
Josie: Lora

Summary: Aspiring fashion model gets adopted by country folk. Fashion
model takes a lover for the summer. Bitch fights ensue in the
super-charged atmosphere of the one-room schoolhouse. Minor characters
drop and die like flies, as fashion model doesn't "take" well to this
rural setting. Adopted father dies off screen, as the budget doesn't
allow for anyone to play his part. Marilla and Anne open after-hours
club in root cellar, which quickly becomes *the* disco of choice, and
velvet ropes are erected around the outhouse. All ends happily when
WWI breaks out and most everyone goes to France and gets syphillis.

Well, dahling, in my younger days as an unmarried Princess, I did live next to
Chicago, and frequented The Organic Theatre, (Joey Mantegna, Andre De Shields,
Richard Fire, Dennis Franz, Stuart Gordon, Meshach Taylor, etc., et al), The
Bakery, Punchanello's, Miller's Pub, The Bratskeller, and the standard theatres
like the Subert and Blackstone.

And in what hitherto unknown language, precious, is "Them, of course Princess

I had an appointment with my endocrinologist on Thursday. He is a leading
man in his field, with papers published, newspaper and TV interviews, etc. I
forgot and thought the appointment was on Friday. I phoned Friday morning to
reschedule and got an appointment for today.

By virtue of the following anonymous endorsement:

As to fondue, sweetie, I adore fondue! I have served cuntless
fondues, in my day! Cheese, CHOCOLATE, meat, all types and varieties. I
am so very amused by the various traditions surrounding the custom of
fondue, I have found the most popular being that anyone who drops his
bread in the pot must pay for his carelessness by kissing all his table
partners of the oposing gender, (of course we would need to modify this, a
bit, in Fabulanna, teehee).

It is funny, isn't it, how both Canadians and Americans write of each
other's health care systems as if they were third-world torture chambers.

For most people with health insurance, both systems work quite well most of
the time.

It's just that here, everyone has insurance and everyone has a
constitutional right to health care *and* to all of the big four U.S.
commercial networks, plus PBS.

Even on satellite (<g>)

LCM: (feeling vaguely patriotic, which for a Canadian is about equal
to a Texan with a rifle in a bell tower) Oh how rude, darling! Our
medical system is better than yours by a zillion-jillion-ulta-million
times! I can't imagine every having to *pay* to see a doctor, sweetie
- it's obscene. It's like all the free things up here, darling - like

air and water and sex! Mind you, David's doctors are obviously
overworked, but mine isn't, and I can see him any time I want night or
day - except Wednesdays when he golfs, in which case I go to whatever
doctor they've got doing the calls that day. And if it's a serious
thing, you just go to the hospital - you'll wait, like in any
emergency room in the world - but darling, you won't be allowed to
*die* sitting there - it's tremendously bad publicity. My only
complaint about meds in Canada is how they treat old people. They
medicate them beyond the grave, sweetie - especially women. And I've
had so much penecillin thrown at me over the years that now I'm
allergic to it. That's not good. I hope they come up with something
new soon - sulfa drugs are just horrid - so hard on the stomach and
they take forever to work. Anyway, you mustn't laugh at our medicare,
sweetie - it's about all we've got left to be truly proud of!

Well, Aside From Mumsey And Me Of Course,
LCM

LCM: (looking horrified, but quickly recovering, and then arching a
brow) Sweetie...(taking her hand and patting it gently)...you forget -
I'm fun-bag intolerant. (turning to the room) Darlings - Princess and
I are having a quiet moment here about me sucking her tits, sweeties -
we need our privacy, as this is not something we want you to know
about...(turning conspiratorally back to Princess)...darling, I think
tongues are wagging about us - they say I'm desperate for you, and
well, you're just plain desperate. I think we should ask Mumsey to
print a full page ad in tomorrow's Fabulanna Gazette denying the
rumours so that we may both move on with our lives. In fact, I'm
calling her now...(taking the flip phone out and dialing)...Hello?
Mumsey? Listen sweetie, tongues are wagging - I need you to print a
full page ad of denial...what's that?...no, darling - not #4 - or #5 -
listen, darling, it's a new denial - not one of the standard
ones...hmmm?...oh yes, it's a tremendous scandal - Princess is sitting
here in the Boom Boom Room - yes, I don't know how she got back in,
darling - maybe she said she was with the Circus or something - hmmm?
- well she's got that *look* about her today - no, darling, she
doesn't want to give an interview, sweetie - she's too
drunk...(looking at Princess and smiling a reasurring smile - pointing
to the receiver and mouthing "Mumsey")...what?...well you see darling,
her dress unfurled and her breast fell in my drink - and then she
asked me to, well - oh this is too embarrassing for her - just say
that she asked me to massage it, and I said no, but couldn't throw a
drink in her face because her breast absorbed it all - and then all
the town started talking and it's a terrible scandal for both of us.
Yes, darling - we'll need a full page - make it the front page - and
just say something like "LCM and The Pink Princess Wish To Announce
That They Are Not Having A Torrid Affair"...and then just to be legal
about it darling, put "With each other" in small print somewhere near
the bottom. That's right, sweetie - and use my most glamorous pic, and
then that one I took of her without her panties. Yes. Alright, darling
- come down to meet us when you can - I'll send Marcel with the
Sweetiemobile to fetch you, darling. Ta! (hanging up and putting the
flip phone back in his wig) There sweetie - it's all settled. Mumsey
said she's putting the ad in, and then everything will be just fine.
Now if you'll excuse me, sweetie, I have to go powder my ass and find
out what's written about us in the bathrooms.

Why, are they upset by the sight of organs that can actually spray bodily
fluids on a regular basis?

And no, running sores don't count.

are choosing a doctor, find one for whom you are not the only patient.

Except in Canada they just work a little slower, and they think that MRI
machines are "a little space agey". Tell the truth, dahling, only in Canada
does pine bark and beaver spleen pass as a perscription for "consumption".
Here's a little hint, hon, if bullets with impressions from human teeth and a
jar of leeches are the only "impliments" in the ER, you should run for the
border.

Certainly a problem you have never faced, nothing about you is even remotely
human.

No, it was in a storefront somewhere (I just followed my friend, who lived
there). During the visit we also saw Steppenwolfe in a rare misstep
("Arms and the Man" played like "Laverne and Shirley," so we dubbed it
"Arms and the Shirley") and a production of "Twelfth Night" with no
direction whatsoever.

Precious, HMOs are a choice, not the only option, the way national health is,
well not counting all you canucks who exercise the "other" option and cross the

And for whom are they a choice, you over-dressed Peronista! Some of us,
like those with chronic illnesses (which is most of America over age 35)
who aren't working regular, full-time jobs can't get traditional
patient-pay coverage. We take what we can get, and believe me, it ain't
that good. I'd be glad to pay for the damned thing if a) I could back to
my original doctor, the nice, caring family practitioner who doesn't have
hospital privileges and b) they wouldn't make me suffer through everything
twice before really treating it. And those idiots in congress think we
shouldn't be allowed to sue them when they make decisions that cost
peoples live's simply in the interest of saving a buck. I say, let's
storm the administration building! . . . I mean, let's take a stand and
demend the medical treatment we deserve.

Dear Suffering and Oppressed Masses,
Once again, the Princess resorts to personal attacks to avoid dealing with
the issues at hand. And my former doctor is not doing jail time for
writing too many presecriptions to Vicodin. If she were, she'd have been
in plenty of time to renew that Quaalude rx she gave me last April. She's
in jail because they caught on to the little medicinal herb garden she was
growing in her window boxes. And for that, they give much longer
sentences.

So let's give her a real rousing welcome by throwing out the
establishment, putting in a decent medical system and sending the Princess
to a world where she has to wait in line for her face lifts and monkey
gland injections just like the rest of us.

To quote/paraphrase some French philosopher whose name I cannot remember so is
"sleeping under bridges and stealing bread to survive". Funny how it only
seems to be the poor people who exercise that option...much like
forgoeing HMOs it seems...

Ahem. Then how would you explain that a few years back when the Ontario
government began cracking down on OHIP fraud, they suddenly realised that
there were 10 million OHIP numbers for a province of 9 million people...?

And, if memory serves, New Brunswick had the same sort of thing going on
as well...

Must have been all those Quebecers flocking over so they couldn't be treated

I remember that. That's also when I found out a normal hospital birth is
