Belated introduction

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Beyond the Sidewalks : One Thread

Hi. My name isn’t really Sharon. I’m a spy, so I can’t use my real name. I’ve been a spy all my life, so I’ve actually forgotten my real name. That, plus I’m getting to be a crabby old bat, so I forget a lot of things, from time to time.

Nick’s a spy, too. That’s how we met. Naturally. He’s a spy for a different country. Double agent . Cool, huh? How you think Milosovich got that stealth bomber? Yep, that was Nick’s doing. Pretty impressive, eh? Well, what can I say? Serbs just never forget any offense against the mother country.

So I really don’t live in Kentucky. Seems we got a troublemaker pretending to be a ecowarrior who’s really a pro football player. Needs a lot of watching. So, I currently live next door to Jim & Ruth (not their real names, of course). They just don’t know it. Well, guess they do now! Oops, gotta run.

BTW, next time, send a better operative. Frankly I was insulted. Too bad about that Pollywog. She put up a bit of a fight, but she just wasn’t near tough enough.

(I need to read some spy novels to get this scenario down better- anyone got some suggestions? No need to post- just think of them and I’ll receive the transmission.)

OH MY! If that operative is gone, then Sharon has sent an imposter (spy) to replace our dear Pollywog to E-Town. We are meeting this imposter (spy) for all-you-can-eat steak (and other things) this evening! What will happen to me? I hope I get to at least eat first. Did I find out just in the nick of time? I will be on guard for sure. I must go find my sunglasses and hat now. Wow.

Poor Pollywog! I guess Guido and Vinnie WILL have to make a foray to the south to see if they can find any remains and if Diane can put the pieces back together. Gee, and Polly was her partner in the re- assembling operation, this might be tough. I wonder if we'll end up with a PollyBorg now . . . .

[BTW, welcome back Sharon, you old GGW, you. You were missed!]

Welcome back, you grumpy old bat, I sorely missed your musings and musterings, from this crazy old eco-whacko tree-hugger.....
