Yoo should know...

Legally Blonde: a Trans-Gendered, Trans-Species Performance

SAN FRANCISCO, CA. The star of the new musical Legally Blonde was involved in a serious traffic accident today in downtown San Francisco. The star's mini coop was crushed by an oncoming tank when it made a left hand turn into her vehicle. The actress was immediately rushed to St. Mary's Medical Center where it was discovered she had a severe case of Vox Incognito and leaving her director wondering what he was going to do. "It's not like there are a million singing blondes out there who can play Elle. I was in a quandry and then I discovered the other motorist was a singing dinosaur" said Aiken. Apparently the show will open this weekend, not with a blonde actress, but a blonde male dinosaur. Meet Maurice the Pissy French Dinosaur, former operatic singer for the Paris Metropolitan Opera. Mr. Pissy French will be sporting a blonde wig and pink cravat, but critics, including this reporter, insist this will be a performance of a life time. It may be what this musical really needed. Doesn't every musical need a French Dinosaur?

Oh te memories!) And of course ve had Hanukkah every night. Eet vas all zo...tasty! Ee vill miss te 'olidays...[zigh]

Een te days after New Years Feast (ahhh zaurkraut, 'ow Ee adore eet!) Ee 'ave been vatching dachshund wresting een my living room. Ahh oui, Ee am back from France (eet vas zo beautiful, zo vonderful, zo french!) Ee tink my children vould like tis sport, but zadly tey are not 'ere, but back een school again in Paris (except for Fume Blanc vho staged a protest against te use of animal products at 'is school and ees now studying een Japan vere soy and tofu abound). Non, non, eet ees not on t.v. eiter. Apparently Clifford (Ee 'ate saying 'is name like tat, eet should be Cleefford. Ee tink Ee vill call 'im tat from now on--eet ees zo much easier!) Alors, Cleefford and Zamanta are wrestling together zo tat Cleefford's nails vill be trim. 'E vould 'ave none of eet tough. Eet ees very funny and eet tink eet is more amusing to vatch tan any reality show on t.v. (tough Ee do like "Vintage Vine" te reality show vhere yoo 'ave to make te vine!) Cleefford ees very sneaky tat dachshund! 'Ours of amusement Ee tell yoo!

Tere vas no family drama tis year. No one vas naughty, everyone ate, eet vas all good and ten James Brown died. Ee vas very zad zo ve 'ad a memorial feast and played J.B. music all night, danced, and ate our vine and cheese. Eet vas a good night. Ten Ford died and that vas even zadder. No feasting, though ve still celebrated our 'oliday. Zamanta called to zay 'er zister vas zinging in te funeral and ve should vatch. Ve did and ve zaw her, but tat's eet. Nothing more. Apparently tey locked te choir up before and after te service zo tey could no do anyting. Tough one choir member ran eento Mrs. Carter een the batroom and spoke to 'er before she realized vho she vas. (She didn't 'ave 'er glasses on apparently!) Ee am glad Ee do not vear glasses, Ee 'ope Ee vill never make tat mistake! Anyvay, Amanda ees all over te papers in Grand Rapids because she vas een te front row of te choir. Not even tirty and she 'as already 'ad 'er fifteen minutes of fame! Ooh la la! Ee should be zo lucky. Tough Zamanta zays Ee am not famous, but infamous vhich ees better anyvay.

Vell, tat ees all Ee 'ave to report for now. Ee am going to go back to vatching dachshund wrestling een te living room. My bet ees on Cleefford. Ee do no tink Zamanta ees going to vin tis round eiter!
