I couldn’t get a picture of Ms. Crepuscular, so here’s Ms. Whatsername from our Registration Office instead.
Rejoice! Huzzah! Wahoo! Quokka University has added a BIG name to our English faculty! How big? ya say. Eleven letters big, sez I! C-R-E-P-U-S-C-U-L-A-R! As in Violet Crepuscular, author of the epic romance, Oy, Rodney. Winner of the Big Good Writership Award!
Ms. Crepuscular will be teaching “How Write Good 101,” if we ever get a classroom for it, and also teaching our kitchen staff how to make toothpaste-filled cupcakes. As soon as we get a kitchen. A lot of quokkas don’t bother to cook their leaves before eating them.
Advance copies of Oy, Rodney are available through the French Embassy at popular prices, if you don’t mind paying in Euros. Aunt Foozy says Euros make your paws smell funny.
Advance copies? Does this mean “Oy, Rodney” is finally coming to an end? Without revealing what’s under the vicar’s wading pool or celebrating the marriage at last between Lord Jeremy Coldsore and Lady Margo Cargo? No, no, MMDXX times no! And speaking of cargo, how much will it cost to transport each copy, considering how many pages it must be by now?
I once had a job proofreading galleys of medical school textbooks. As if that weren’t hard enough, they decided to save paper by deleting all the spaces between words! I wasn’t there for very long.
P.S.–I don’t think Violet CAN end it.
Byron, you are in for a real treat, now. Just stay away from her wading pool.
