-Ah, Mama and Papa, of the Wisconsin von Skippys. Papa was an industrialist, 
very big into industry. Yes, he worked in a factory for nigh on 45 minutes, 
before that terrible accident with the moving conveyor belt in which he lost 
three fingernails. He always liked to say that he could cut his nails half 
again as fast as any other man, and even some women. No one ever took him up 
on that, but every weekend at the bar he would enter in the lawn gnome 
races. Anyway, life growing up as a young girl on the streets of some 
Wisconsin town or another (I can't be bothered to look at a map) was an 
idyllic spendor, or so my sisters tell me. As a boy, it sucked. When I was 
37, I left home to seek my fortune out west. After I hit Canada, I realized 
that I was going the wrong way, and proceeded out to the middle of Utah, 
where I made fun of the locals for money. It wasn't a highly paying job, but 
the hours were good and I was happy. Then, one day, as I wandered the 
streets with my sign and my bullhorn, I spotted a person using a strange 
contraption, a "computer." This computer opened my eyes to a whole new 
world, the World Wide Internet. At least, it did until the person realized I 
was there and chased mw from their house with a broom. But I had seen the 
light, and it was beautiful. The rest, as they say, is going to take too 
much effort to make up.-
