I think GUEST gadabout's first mistake was posting on the Mudcat. People here are not going to pass on a shot at some humour. Freda--I love the poems, and please consider this more encouragement. The postings by GUEST gadabout are facetious, and he should have the good sense that God gave a turnip to see his mission has become impossible. Good luck finding someone who can be bought for a paltry fifth of a million. Why, we have higher Marminator bills than that, and that is only for the ongoing interviews I hold with would-be starlets, varlets and ha . . . ; I'l not stoop to filth, even in the interests of art for art's sake (or a neat little rhyme). I am a man of principle--$200,000, jaysus. Give   me   a   break!
