**aseymayo** , I meant “fool” in the _good_ way. Really, the motley is so _you_. It brings out your receding chin and your spoon-like chest like nothing else _can_. And Caesar is just a puffed up buffoon, anyway. He smells of anchovies and raw eggs. Bah!

**FairyChatMom** , your people don’t seem to be answering the phone. The number was 555… oh, here’s the problem… there seems to be some numbers missing… if you could get back to me with that, I’ll be sure to keep it in a safe place. I’ll write it on the bathroom wall here in the lab, that should be safe enough.

**Bad News Baboon** the flowers you left were great. I meant to say “thank you” earlier, but I’d just been dead and all, I hope you understand. Only there really didn’t seem to be an actual _flower_ on these flowers. Just a vine. More of an ivy really. Maybe I’m allergic to them. I seem to be getting a rash. But the thought was nice.

Gotta go. Galactus and Sprinkterius are getting a little rowdy in their bowl. Horribly Mutated Sea Monkeys, what _can_ you do with them?  
-Rue.

In my earlier post about how our Unca Cece deals with rivals, real and imagined, I of course left out the key word “alleged”. Also the phrase, “not proven guilty”. I apologize for this oversight.

Sure, **Rue** - if you need me, just call BR-549 any time of the day or night. It’s a special number, just from me to you, ya know?? 😉

I’ll be waiting by the phone…

Boob or not, you still owe me five bucks. Pay up, chump. 😃

FIVE BUCKS? **SPOOFE** what is _wrong with you_?

OK. I borrowed that 20 off you to get the Frammington Modulator re-aligned. Then I got $15 back to you so you could get those “darling” pumps that “went just smashingly” with your fishnet stockings. (Whatever. With _your_ legs?) So, yeah, there’s the five bucks.

But when you “took” me to lunch _I_ had to pay for the big basket of onion rings, which _you_ ate, by the way. And your jumbo Slice™. And the tip!

So, my man, we are so _even_! Actually you’re, like, $2.50 ahead. So lay off.

And what are you doing Friday? It’s free wings night at Bucky’s Bowl-O-Rama. I’ll see if **FairyChatMom** can get away, and _if_ you can get a date… a Big Night for all!

Too late, **whitetho** , my “lawyers” are already in motion. Biff and Larry should be by to see you… about (checks watch) now. Good luck in the Mambo contest now, Maraca Knees. (left out the key word “alleged”… grumble, grumble… the phrase, “not proven guilty”… grump, grump… oversight my patootie…)  
-Rue.

Guys, guys!! How do we know that **Rue** is NOT dead, and that we haven’t been duped by whoever started this thread?? Huh?

I even got an e-mail this morning from someone _claiming_ to be **Rue** …

**Rue** (if that actually IS your name!)! I DEMAND that you prove your identity! **Astroboy stamps his foot and folds his arms in a snit**

What? You want to see the birthmark of a unicorn rampant upon my right buttock?

How do I prove I am me? Hmmmm… this is a toughy… Something only Rue, I mean, something only _I_ would know… ah, I’ve got it! **Jester** has eaten hot dogs at the “Original” and he really likes their french fries. Now just see **Jester** for confirmation. And **screech-owl** has never shown up to receive her [Velveeta.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=76001)

**FairyChatMom** , sweety, lamb-chop, if Bucky’s Bowl-O-Rama is not your bag, just let me know. I would never want to subject a delicate flower such as yourself to… wait… delicate flower… flower… flowers…

HEY! **Bad News Baboon**! Ya wanna go bowlin’? The shoes are on _me_! Of course **SPOOFE** will probably come, and who _knows_ who he’ll bring, but it’ll probably be fun.  
-Rue.
