TÉODOR'S STRANGE DREAM
Early in the morning on Tuesday, November 9, Téodor dreamt that the
fellow who lived across the street, a relentlessly home-improving type
with an ever-bright outlook on life, had gone bonkers and torn up his
pristine yard with a spade. His lovely handmade wooden fence was
nowhere to be seen, and all of his trees leaned at 45-degree angles,
their roots snapped. Where the carpet-like green lawn once grew there
was now only moist brown dirt. Later in the dream Téodor ran across
the fellow, who explained that he'd been "rather depressed" lately and
had "just snapped."

VLAD FAILS TO SPARK FRIENDSHIP WITH MIMEOGRAPH REPAIRMAN Vlad's
mimeograph, which he frequently uses to reproduce his subscriber-only
political newsletter, recently went out of calibration and required
repair.
Vlad found himself trying to befriend the repairman, a no-nonsense
manly type, who was having none of it. After he left, Vlad felt
particularly ashamed at having suggested that they "have a beer
sometime."
"He is thinkink I am such queer-bait," Vlad thought to himself.

A RECIPE.
by Ray Smuckles.
Hello! Do you not want to have a problem when guests come over? Then
do what I do, and always make this recipe.
INGREDIENTS
1 can of chili, con carne or sin el carne
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
2 tbsp Tabasco or other hot sauce (such Ray's Rad Chilies) Fritos, 2
bags Chopped green onion, for sprinkling
Heat the chili up in a pot, and when it's hot, stir in the Tabasco and
cheddar and mix until all the cheese is melted. Put this substance
into a bowl and sprinkle some extra grated cheese on top, then
sprinkle the green onions on. Serve the Fritos in a bowl next to this
substance. Invite your guests to eat the substance.
BONUS: If you have a little keep-warm pot that plugs into the wall,
that is a good thing in which to serve the substance.
--Ray.
