'How was your grandmother?' Gurkie asked. A shadow crossed Ben's face. 'She says she's all right but she doesn't look very well to me.' And then: 'How did it go at lunch?" 'Raymond was awful,' said Odge. 'I think he's disgusting. I think we should have a republic on the Island and not bother with a prince once the King and Queen are dead.'

SQUID SINKS -- The 11th of Marn to the THIRD of Also Marn
Let's just get one string straight for once, Larry. LARRRRRYYYY. There is nothing you can do. Give us all of your toe socks or ELSE. It will ease the pain. By the moonthe we sail, slightly backward, through endless pastabillies (hillbillies made of pasta) wondering where the beans are. Corn is important too. NEVER FORGET. By the 77th hour of THE DAY you will have bustered enough corn hands to power all of China so good luck with that, I guess. I know you be flasking, "Hey there sailor, China ain't in Gurky at all!", and to you I slay: "Big deal, whoopty doop!". Is this the song about the brother on skates?
BEDAZZLED TOMATE-TOES! TOO MANY TOMATE-TOES!!
