Huh. Chuh. Hmmph. I hereby declare myself Queen of the MMP (as long as **Rue’s** better half doesn’t mind). I don’t need chocolate–I need constant accolades and praise. Make it so. Come on in, the water’s fine-really. ---

Look, would you people mind at least dropping a scat mat or something before flinging choco-frosted simi-pops all over the place? Someone’s gonna hafta clean that up! Y’know. Not me. But someone. And they’re _not_ going to be happy about it. ---

Look, guys, this is not what I meant when I talked about fudge. I really meant fudge. That’s all, just fudge. As in “Ohhhhhh, fuuuuuudddddggggge!” only I’m actually saying fudge. That’s it, just fudge. Wotta’ buncha’ sick twists! Lucy, I’m home! ---

No, no no. _I_ am Queen of the MMP. Wait. No, that’s too much responsibility. I’m Head Baker. I bake heads. And Collector of Husbands and an Auxiliary Eater of **jeff’s** fudge. The MMP has been running for at least four years. Anyone remember a generalized date? Who were the first in, beside **Rue**? ---

Yes, there was a [chandelier](http://groups.msn.com/CaptStevesWanderingStar/beforeandafter.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=71). It was the thing legends are made of. Or nightmares. Or legendary nightmares. When Cartooniverse came to dinner, my husband offered it to him. He took it. His wife was not amused when he brought it home. For it was frighteningly tacky. I have yet to find a substitute prize. And, no our dining room doesn’t look like that any more. We bought the house despite the chandelier and the blue-veined mirror tiles and oh-so-many other frightening things… ---
