**Z** hit, I didn’t realize I was at the bottom of the page. **A** all cabana boys are mine – **SBS** prefers towel boys, as I recall. **B** other me not with your cabals while I’m, er, inspecting the cabana boys. ---

**J** eez, I’ve got to break this fantasy for a moment to mention that the local 11 o’clock news just went into commercial with a teaser for the next story that is even stranger than what goes on here: “stay tuned to find out if Michael Jackson really put a voodoo curse on Steven Spielberg.” Yikes. :eek: ---

**P** lease excuse this further “reality” interruption - Now here’s tonight’s big story: _Vanity Fair_ magazine reports that Michael Jackson paid $150,000.00 to an African tribal chief to put a voodoo curse on 25 people on his ‘enemies’ list which included Steven Spielberg and David Geffen, all of whom were to die within some time period I didn’t quite hear. Truth being stranger than fiction at times… ---

**"R** eality" is over-rated, Watcher. The only use for that tidbit of “news” is that it would supply a useful ‘V’ word. ---

**R** eally though when I play scrabble I use a lot of words like ut, mm, ef and sh. All the better to get 4 and 5 words at a time. **S** igh, I miss scrabble. I used to play it all the time. And I was vicious too. If you played with me you’d never get a double or triple word score. Good times. ---

**T** wikster’s post reminded me: the towel boys need some chow, too. Steak and eggs, I think – lots of protein, no risk of post-carbo-loading lethargy. 😉 ---

**U** nlike you, I never really got into Scrabble. My favorite was Risk: conquer the world! (Yes, an early omen of my destiny.) ---
