| | | | | | | my father | | Dear Lara, As I write this letter, you are nearly one week old and sound asleep at your mother's side. It's going to be a few years before you can read this, and even longer before you understand exactly what I'm feeling—which is good, because then you'll need even more time to forgive. This letter is one of the hardest things I've ever had to write, since I'm only a journalist and not a real writer. No words I know—not even the ones I looked up in the neighbor's dictionary—can describe the 1)sublime joy and wonder I have felt since watching your mother do the equivalent of passing 2)Andre the Giant's bowling ball and realizing that I could never take her place. And let me say right now, thank God for that as well. When they told me you were a girl, I felt so excited my heart could have burst—for when you hit adolescence, you're mostly your mother's problem, not mine. We took your name from Lara Croft, the main character of the video game "Tomb Raider" and a new movie that features Angelina Jolie playing far below her talent.

this opportunity to inform you of some issues concerning Ms. Barbie, and some of my own needs
and desires.
First of all, I along with several other colleagues feel Barbie DOES NOT deserve preferential
treatment - the bltch has everything. Along with Joe, Jem, Raggedy Ann & Andy, I DO NOT have
a dream house, corvette, evening gowns, and in some cases the ability to change our hair style. I
personally have only 3 outfits which I am forced to mix and match at great length.
My decision to accessorize my outfits with an earring was my decision and reflects my lifestyle choice.
I too would like a change in my career. Have you ever considered "Decorator Ken", "Beauty Salon
Ken", or "Out Of Work Actor Ken"? In addition, there are several other avenues... | |
| | Creator of the Green Lantern passed away on December 12th | | That was a sad day for many DC comics fans. Anyone here a Green lantern fan? If so, how do you feel about Mr. Martin Nodell's death? I am not a huge comic fan, but I know I always take it to heart when a person who influnced my life passes away even though I didn't really "know" them. | |
