Well, I'm a day early on my Monday post for #282. That should get me further off the Naughty list. Maybe even on the "Nice" alternate list.

You know, like when you don't make the cut for the sports team, but if somebody on the real list gets a concussion or breaks his ankle, the coach puts you into the game. In other words, I'm on the "Understudy Nice List." The "Third-String Nice List."

It's just like in t-ball...they'd let me finally play if we were up by 6 or more points...

I'd try to knock a few of you off so I could get on the actual "Nice" list, but that would entail my being naughty, which forces me further down the "Naughty" list. So I'll just wait patiently for a few "Nice" people to buy the farm or defraud widows and orphans. Then one day...one day...

What? You say that's "not nice thinking"? And that naughty thoughts will keep a guy off the "Nice" list, too?

Well, forget it then...if that's the case, then I'm NEVER getting off the Naughty list.

Let me take this opportunity to wish you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Thanks to everyone who bought the IMAGINARY FRIENDS novel. For all the rest of you...what're you waiting for?! Get on it, people! You only got another 9 days to sucker someone else into buying it for you! COME ON, GET WITH THE PROGRAM!

And may visions of sugar plums (and sugar plum imaginary friends) dance in your head until we meet again...in 2008.
