WEEKLY WHINE

What do you want to talk about today?

Today, when we realised that we didn’t have any ideas for the Weekly Whine, we ran away and hid in the closet. After Reg got us out by promising cookies for everyone as soon as we finished, we decided that we would open up the floor to you, our faithful readers.

Once we realised we don’t have any faithful readers, we decided instead to open up the floor to whoever happens to write in. So suit up in your full body protection gear as we open the GoobNet Mailbox, and feel nervous that we don’t have full mind protection gear.

Wow. Isn’t it sad that Michael Jackson died?

– Brian Sanderson
West Bog Creek, Scotland, UK

Yes.

Wow. Isn’t it sad that Farrah Fawcett died?

– Juliette Amby-Smith
Greenwich, England, UK

Yes.

Wow. Isn’t it sad that Ed McMann died?

– Shane Eldrick
Covina, CA, USA

You mean Ed McMahon. And yes.

That’s really nice that you want to make me an All Star, but I really don’t deserve it. Give it to Han Duan instead. She’s having an incredible year.

– Marian Dalmy
Chicago, IL, USA

She is having a good year, but you are contributing to your team’s... well, success does not seem to be the correct word.

Wow. Isn’t it sad that Spain lost to the USA?

– Rodrigo Felantones
Mérida, Spain

No. Sad does not seem to be the correct word.

Wow. Isn’t it hilarious that Spain lost to the US?

– Carlos Delantonio
San Diego, CA, USA

That’s the word.

I have discovered the terrible secret of Michael Jackson’s death and I am ready to share it with the world. Michael Jackson was not killed by the Danish mafia, his brothers and sisters, or an errant yield sign. It was in fact a terrible conspiracy involving all members of Friday’s session, Iran’s Guardian Council, and the owner of the Detroit Red Wings. Please I would be pleased if Goobnet posted a link to my site at http://www.############.org/#########, where I outline the compelling evidence against everyone involved. Thank you for your help.

– Carl Baines
East Chicago, IL, USA

No, thank you for going away.
