Ok, this is just too wrong. I got an email direct from Miss Cleo herself. Check it out: > [@](#): > > From The Desk Of Miss Cleo > > Dear Little Bird, > > We must speak with you. I don’t usually take the time out to write a personal note, Little Bird, but your name was provided by someone you had recently spoken to. We believe your vibrations to be so strong that I’ve endorsed a free Tarot reading with one of our elite psychics! It’s urgent, however, that you call immediately—I can only reserve this number for a limited time. Call toll-free 1-800-347-9710, now! > > Little Bird, we sensed that your connection is likely to be unusually strong, especially in the very near future. It is vital that you call us right away to optimize the results of your reading. There’s not much time! Call toll-free 1-800-347-9710 as soon as you receive this letter! > > With love and prayers, > Miss Cleo > > P.S. Please do not share this number with anyone—it is meant only for you, Little Bird. However, you must call soon—we can only reserve this number for a short time. Call toll-free 1-800-347-9710 right now! Gee, I’m honored. Does anyone want to use my special number? 😃 This really pisses me off. What stupid site or list sold them my name? (It originally said my IRL name, not Little Bird.) Did any of you get these? How can we stop her? Distribute our “special numbers?” Hey, I got an idea! If you got one of these, see if our numbers match. I bet they do! Ok, was that mundane and pointless enough for all of you? Hua? Was it??? 🙂 ---

I get them about an average of two a week and usually it shows her in some cheezy pose. ---

Oh yeah! My sister called me to tell me that she got one from her telling her that she had a wonderfull dream about her that she just must tell her about. The next day I get one saying she had a terrible nightmare about something in my near future! What gives? What makes my sister so special?! And on a related topic somewhat… Have you guys seen her new comercials where she is making herself some kind of martyr? I laughed, I cried, I wet myself! ---

I’m situated in the middle of a bunch of people from the Islands at work, and they all find Miss Cleo to be a ridiculous joke. If I remember correctly, one of them said she’s actually from North or South Carolina. How exotic. I’ll have to see if I can find something to back that up. BTW, Little Bird, your sig has to be the first reference to The Amazing Jonathan that I’ve ever seen. I must say you have great taste in comedy. ---

All I can say is that Miss Ccleo must do nothing but dream and talk to people. I got one of the _I had a dream about you_ emails and have gotten a couple of _I got your address from someone I spoke to recently and the vibes for you were sooooo strong I must speak with you right away_ type of emails. And mine had the same phone number as yours did \*\* Little Bird \*\* . So I’m special too ! \*\* TroubleAgain \*\* She’s one of Santa’s helpers, Santa not only keeps track of who is naughty and who is nice, he also keeps up with who is silly enogh to call Miss Cleo because they need special toys (like phone locks) ---

Drat! The coworker that claimed Ms. Cleo was from Carolina is on vacation (I wonder if Ms. Cleo knows this…). I must find time to surf the web at work, er, I mean research this! > [@](#): > > MindWeb, The Amazing Jonathan quite simply rocks my world. You and I and others of our outstanding tastes must stick together. Indeed we do. The guy is a genius. Unfortunately Ms. Web-to-be doesn’t seem to understand him. I sure hope she can be corrected… _Hands **Little Bird** a bottle of Windex_ Here. Just in case. ---

I do stand-up, too, and Jonathan’s an idol of mine. Never had the chance to meet him, though. ---

Found a new article on our favorite Ganja Goddess: [Miss Cleo, Natural Resource](http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/33981.htm). > [@](#): > > As for authenticity, Miss Cleo, a native of Jamaica, earned a Ph.D. in telepathic studies from Princeton. This without once setting foot in New Jersey. Can’t argue with credentials like those. 😉
