The following handwritten letter was recently discovered crumpled on the rain-soaked marble steps of McKinley Hall:

Dear Lisa,

I’m not taking your knee jerk reaction to Restless Leg syndrome sitting down, so I’m making a stand. Sorry, but guess I just really need to kick back if you know what I mean since I’ve personally been diagnosed with Irritable Vowel syndrome and Consonant Tourette’s, you mother fucking aaeeiioouu crazy bitch! Wow, damn, I just can’t control myself since I’m apparently boy crazy for girls and I keep forgetting about my yoga class for people with amnesia. Now if I could only remember where the fucking yoga studio is located, I’d take a class. It looks like fun from what I hear. On the bright side, I’ve started dating an introverted finger painter. He’s so autistic!

Lately I’ve been totally bat-shit for guano,

Kristin

WHAT SORT OF MAN READS PACO CAMINO?

He’s a crafty greenskeeper with license to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Now he has to laugh because this time he’s outsmarted even himself. His enemy, his foe, is an animal. In order to conquer the animal, he's learned to think like an animal, and whenever possible, to look like one. He smells varmint poontang and the only good varmint poontang is dead varmint poontang. Unafraid to eat a Baby Ruth fished out of a drained swimming pool, Carl Spackler is an incredible Cinderella story—an unknown that came out of nowhere to win the Masters. He’s also blended Bluegrass, Kentucky Bluegrass, Featherbed Bent and Northern California Sensemilia (in which you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, then take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus). Most notably, he once caddied for the Dalai Lama. Though he didn’t get any money, this Paco Camino Man will receive total consciousness on his deathbed. So he’s got that going for him, which is nice. Gunga galunga…gunga, gunga galunga.
