Bubbly champagne and fine red wines being served in the French room
Coping with stress and life’s uncertainties will feature in the new ‘Answer to Readers Questions’ section.
Obviously the first edition has no questions; so we have taken the unanswered ones from the summer A2K Play Dude edition which due to a ‘foldout’ malfunction will now be renamed ‘Halloween Special’.
To avoid any embarrassment to member’s; only initials, pseudonyms or truncated non de plumes will be used in an effort to hide the identity of the correspondent.
“Dear Play Dude; Every time I take a dame home I’m outta breath before I reach my front door and unable to pin the tail on the donkey; so to speak” " KickyC.
Dear K.C., listen up dude; you live at a higher altitude than Zeppelins used to operate at! So, to get over your problem; either carry a cylinder of oxygen, get a lower apartment or bang them in the basement laundry room!
In our next issue; we answer a plea from anonymous R.P. who wants advice on how to live with a Celebrity TV star.
You won’t believe the advice our experts have come up with…..Subscribe NOW so you will be sure not to miss a single edition of - ’Answers to Readers Questions’ …Yes folk’s we go six letters further than A to K! Place your order for the all new " A to Q.

Do you ever wonder?
Ask the A2K cooks!
Who opened that first 'oyster' and said "My, my, my. Now doesn't 'this' look yummy!"
Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out?"
Who was the first person to see an egg come from a chicken's butt and think, "I'll bet that would be good to eat?
Must have been some particularly desperate (or perverted) individuals taking those risks.
@tsarstepan,
No tsarstepan -- alphabetical!
"J" is the operative letter for today. "J" just joined joyous juvenile
junkies jesting journal jokes jointly.
@CalamityJane,
Kollege smarts ain't needed: the first letter of each post should follow in alphabetical order from the first letter of the previous post.
@wandeljw,
Low and behold, special agent wandeljw is trying to teach Jespah the abc of this thread. What will her answer be?
Mygawd; reprehensible alphabetical mayhem!
42 you say; oh, you mean fortitude.
To paraphrase Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:
The shades of night were falling fast,
As through the A2K village passed
Tsarstepan, who bore, 'mid tea and ice,
A banner with the strange device,
Dishpan!
His brow was sad; his eye beneath,
Flashed like a falchion from its sheath,
And like a silver clarion rung
The accents of that unknown tongue,
Saucepan!
In happy homes he saw the light
Of household fires gleam warm and bright;
Above, the spectral glaciers shone,
And from his lips escaped a groan,
Fryingpan!
"Try not the Pass!" the old hamster said;
"Dark lowers the tempest overhead,
The roaring torrent is deep and wide!"
And loud that clarion voice replied,
Bedpan!
"Oh, stay," CalamityJane said, "and rest
Thy weary head upon this breast!"
A tear stood in his bright blue eye,
But still he answered, with a sigh,
Dustpan!
"Beware the pine-tree's withered branch!
Beware the awful avalanche!"
This was the peasant's last Good-night,
A voice replied, far up the height,
Marzipan!
Alas Tsarstepan, by the faithful hound,
Half-buried in derision was found,
Still grasping in his hand of ice
That banner with the strange device,
Deadpan!
There, in the twilight cold and gray,
Lifeless, but unrepentant, he lay,
And from the sky, serene and far,
The voice of Try fell, like a falling star…
“Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
`Doubtless,' said I, `what it utters is its only stock and store,
alphabetical correctness malfunctions of lore.”
Caught from some dazed poster whom unmerciful disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his posts one burden bore -
Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden axiom
to transgress - Nevermore.
Now it's official - Tryagain is retired and has plenty of time
to come up with such clever poems.
‘Only heartbreak can come from Tsarstepan’s head in such close proximity to the comely attributes of CalamityJane.’ Said the retiring shy reclusive T.R.Yagain from the A2K Dude Ranch in Lower Manhattan.
@Tryagain,
Plenty of fantasy and imagination has taken over, while at the same time
hiding his own bushel under the light (that's a German proverb and I have no
idea if it makes sense) - that's our beloved T.R.Again, who has many attributes,
being shy isn't one of them, however.
Quintessentially apologies were late in arriving due to a typographical malfunction over the missing ‘pu’ from the descriptive of T.R.Yagain; please use to preface the word ‘__shy’.
Wie ein (altes) Sprichwort lautet,.....As an (old) proverb goes:
Aller guten Dinge sind drei.-
Well two outta three is nothing to complain about.
