Please refrain from writing such things as "Big guns are good for shooting God," and "Who wouldn't want to be part of Techno Viking's entourage?"-- as these such gems are making me laugh far too often, and now my coworkers think I'm actually happy to be here. My corporate-whore existence is threatened, and I may have to go back to my regular, generic street-whore career. Either that, or hit up Unicorn Cove School of Metaphysics for some mad nunchuck skills. Your love slave forever, Kitsune. PS-- men who can write *and* have a shit-ton sized sense of humour are hot. Dear Ross,

You are continually getting me into trouble at work. Please refrain from writing such things as “Big guns are good for shooting God,” and “Who wouldn’t want to be part of Techno Viking’s entourage?”– as these such gems are making me laugh far too often, and now my coworkers think I’m actually happy to be here.

My corporate-whore existence is threatened, and I may have to go back to my regular, generic street-whore career.

Either that, or hit up Unicorn Cove School of Metaphysics for some mad nunchuck skills.

Your love slave forever,

Kitsune.

PS– men who can write *and* have a shit-ton sized sense of humour are hot.

You admit to this. I cannot believe, then, that after our discovery session, you failed to footnote the funniest unearthed detail. Ross Wolinsky, you are a comedically irresponsible wiener-tip. So, for your readers: On the Day of the Dead, mourners leave food out for their deceased loved ones. After the holiday has passed, said relatives eat the food they've donated to the spirit world, but believe the snacks have been robbed (by ghouls) of their nutritional value! That's FUNNY. Worse than poltergeists, we're talking here about a culture of GHOSTS THAT CAN CAUSE SCURVY. Think of the possibilities for pirate-themed crossovers! Also, if the ghosts of that region had harnessed these powers during European settlement... man o man. This must be a young-ish phenomenon. Or maybe they only eat once a year, their ghost mouths watering the other 364 days every time they see "Nutrition Facts" labels. How do you defend yourself against rouge vitamin and mineral suckers? I'd start with buying foods that prominently display a healthy dose of yellow #5. Day of the Dead wins hands-down. -Jo (Ross’s girlfriend) Okay, so I know that this is what you “think” goes on during Dia De Los Muertos, but we did look it up the real details so that I could prove the graveyard slumber parties.
