Advice from Strangers
This Week's Guest:
Ann Landers and Dear Abby's Evil Triplet
Dear Ann Landers and Dear Abby's Evil Triplet,
I'm a pathetic loser who believes that some pablum-spouting old ladies can
help salvage the overworked latrine I've made of my life with three
sentences of advice delivered with the morning paper right next to "Hagar the
Horrible." Yet somehow, I can operate a keyboard! Also, between visits from
Child Protective Services, my four children seem sullen and remote, their
boredom relieved only by acts of arson and random vandalism. So, my
question, of course, is: How does an old bat like you manage to look like a
young Betty Crocker? Lord knows I could use some help there.
Crow's Feet in Creighton
Dear Crow,
I'd tell you my secret, but you couldn't begin to afford it. I'd recommend
keeping a few heavily retouched photos of yourself from back when you
weren't yet a shrieking harpy, and otherwise do us all a favor and refrain
entirely from all human contact. As for the kids, I know you didn't ask, but
they need a hobby. Get them each a nice handgun. Don't forget the ammo.
ALADAET
Dear Ann Landers and Dear Abby's Evil Triplet,
I'm sitting here with a huge vat of nitro-based fertilizer and 100
gallons of ammonia. I think it's the fumes, because I can't seem to recall
the exact recipe. The vat's started to bubble a little, so if you please
respond promptly, I'd appreciate it.
Baffled in City Withheld
Dear Baff,
BOOOOM! Haha! Sorry, just a little joke there. Try chanting revolutionary
slogans real loud -- that should return your mind to whatever feeble level of
clarity you previously possessed. Do you have a ball peen hammer handy? Ah,
fuck it - just dump all the ammonia in at once - what's the worst thing that
could happen?
ALADAET
Confidential to Desperately Seeking Old Lady Thighs:
Yes, yes I do like it
just like that. Rrrrrow! Let's get together real soon, you bad, bad little
boy. You bring the llama, I've got the black ostrich leather.
