Sorry that I have been missing in action but the tidal wave of orders we got because of the show is keeping me working day and night.
We stayed to five in the morning yesterday just boxing up orders.
I need to talk to or be in contact with almost everyone who buys or posts on our facebook or twitters or whatever because this is what we are getting for having a TV show. So I have to do it while the window is there.
Of course people are pissed at me. Marilyn Munster mailed me a dead bat. The Devil can't believe I am dissing him with Rodney King today. And Laura Bush has two new diaries that she can't wait to post. But it all has to wait.
Tomorrow Lisa is appearing on ABC radio and doing a couple of interviews so we have to do what we can to pump it up before the final two episodes.
I will be back soon.

Did she say anything about being the first to get the American Medical Association's seal of approval or was that a line she saved especially for AllenS?
Velveeta is the Dolly Parton of processed cheez; a unique product disdained by snobs and enjoyed by more than care to admit.
Once a thread passes 200 in this house of mirrors, it's anybodys game of corn hole. In honor of the Euphenomenous Corn Chip and the Missing Chickenlittle I submit the following Rabbit Trail of Information regarding Ajidamoos, Timber Tigers and Viviparous Quadrupeds:
The common name originally may have been spelled "chitmunk," from the native Odawa (Ottawa) word jidmoonh, meaning "red squirrel" (cf. Ojibwe, ajidamoo) The earliest form cited in the Oxford English Dictionary (from 1842) is "chipmonk... Other early forms include "chipmuck" and "chipminck," and in the 1830s they were also referred to as "chip squirrels," probably in reference to the sound they make. In the mid-1800s, John James Audubon and his sons included a lithograph of the chipmunk in their Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America, calling it the "Chipping Squirrel or Hackee." Chipmunks have also been referred to as "striped squirrels," "chippers," "munks," "timber tigers," or "ground squirrels," although the name "ground squirrel" usually refers to other squirrels, such as those of the genus Spermophilus.
They're courageous as heck, and their antics make me laugh. The latest involves flying leaps off the branch closest to the bird feeder and perilous slides off the tilted top once they land. When I watch them, I wonder what they'd be like and what they could do if their brains were human sized.
Huh, I wonder the same thing about many of the commenters over at TOP.
Velveeta is the mother of the cheese sauce served on "nachos" sold at stadiums everywhere.
I favor any food product that encourages the consumption of hot peppers.
Nobody knows for sure who the father is, but the official story is that it was a Swiss, Cheddar Colby.
Funny thing is, "Colby" doesn't sound Swiss at all.
I suspect some guy who's a whiz at seduction. A real smooth operator.
Smothered her with "affection".
And HEY! Allie's back. :)
He asked, "How do you feel about me?"
She replied, "Fond, you?"
So he turned up the heat.
Good evenin' lays and gennamens! And welcome to the beautiful Velveeta Room!
Seriously, if the name wasn't already taken, it would be a great name for a blog.
And hi Darcy and Allie!
Hi, Allie.
Good morning, Darcy.
Hi Michael and Allen!
It's Friday. Fridays make me happeh. :)

When I lived in the Bay Area I used to read Herb Caen's column in the Chronicle (yeah, I know, either I was a commie then or the paper had not morphed into Pravda - thirty years have passed, who knows now)
The Chron, under De Young ownership, was the last of the major dailies in CA that had a unapologetic Republican viewpoint.
However, the Chron also had an eclectic mix of columnists and opinion, they encouraged a debate of issues, so you weren't nuts or a commie.
In 2003 the De Young's sold the Chron to Hearst and Phil Bronstein drove the Chron into the ground all the while blaming the Net;
After years of circulation drops, in late March 2007, Bronstein called an emergency staff meeting and reportedly stated that the news business "is broken, and no one knows how to fix it."
Yeah, couldn't be the complete morph into a commie rag. Nah.
Bronstein couldn't sell his brand of leftist politics at the Examiner or the Chron...not even in SF.
And HEY! Allie's back.
Did Allie leave?
Is this Nancy Drew and The Case of Moooving Cheez?
Looks like BJM is back too!!!
But where is chickenlittle?
No internet in his old Wisconsin home?
Hardy Boys and...
The Missing Chums
MomaM,
Cool it.
Thanks for the info, BJM - I only read Herb Caen, the Sacamenna kid, and I really liked his stories of the city - how to get from one place to another through stores and businesses, the way things used to be back in the 30s and 40s, or was it the 40s and 50s - it matters not - his stories made SF much more interesting to me.
I raise an ellipsis to you, Herb, wherever you are ...
MomaM,
Cool it.
Cool what?
The cheez???
No answer? Perhaps Cool 'It' is another one of those backwards dysphemisms that sounds like a command but is really a play on words.
Best to assume one person's fruit is another's candy. Cheez could be a different deal though. For the 5 percent that buy and feast on Velveeta, it may be their stomach staple.
