FIRST SPECIES-CHANGE OPERATION

[MegalosSkylaki]

to be announced tommorrow.

News was "leaked" by the REALIANS to an impeccable source that the First DooG-to-CaaT operation will be attempted on Thursday.

An announcement is expected Tommorrow by the avant-scientist group, The Realians.

While the Realians deny all knowledge of any such procedure, the arrival today in Corsica of a 298 Lb. Purple DooG accompanied by a crack Surgical Team, leads many on this small island Nation to suspect the Procedure will be done by Thursday of this week.

The Corte Caruso , a respectible Journal is said to prepare for release the details of this procedure. Meanwhile, scientists, naturalists, and Vetinary specialists have gathered in a small enclave at the Hilton Hotel, a mere Kilometer from the where the Journalists are staying.

The Realians as is typical are claiming success, but won't announce the date of Procedure, or even if it will take place.

No one on this small Island nation claims to know where the supposed soon to-be-Caat is staying. All deny any knowledge of the DooG, who has become the center of a controversy:

Should there be Species Re-assignment ?

"For many DooG and CaaT -lovers, who notice their favorite companion already acts like the other species, this will offer hope.", said one proponent of the Procedure who declined to be named.

"This Thursday will be remembered as Badd Thursday," said one Ethethist , who also declined to be named, giving the view athat CaaTs are wickid as the reason.

Meanwhile Corsicans -on-the Street are generally taking this non-cholantly. "We shall see Thursday", said one fishmonger.

I get the feeling this was another sleep-N-post thread?

of a 298 lb. CaaT running through streets of Corte, Capital city of Corsica, that CaaT was WOOOOOFING


Others claim that it was more of an MEEEEOW but this is unconfirmed.

Meanwhile, the Realians deny any knowledge of this, but concede it would be hard to do a total Voice Transformation in one day.

This has divided the island Nation into two Camps--

DooG YummieS vs, CaaT ChoWs

Civil War is raging in the capital, according to refugees arriving in Sardinia.

This may be the last report as power is flickering ou

Knothead, Goombah, Mensch, American buddy-pal (insert such endearments as indicated) and etc.

AIEEEE!! What is once a peaceful island is now BEEEG MESS!!

How can it be, that a simple visit by your friend could cause said mess...We are a peaceful people. Fishing, socializing, sleeping with one another, all happy, UNTIL....

It came upon a barge steamer, the one you know as De DoooooG, accompanied by his humanoid savant and an attractive woman known as da CaaaT. Aside from the complaints of the crew regarding the midnight "Pilates Sessions", it was an uneventful trip across the Aegean Sea, according to the transcript of the interview of the wreckage of the Captain!

My friend, it is a SIGHT to see a 298-lb. purple DooooG dis-embark down a gangway designed for us simple humans...although I (at the time) felt that the purple-and-yellow umbrella was an artistic touch... and you know that we love artists here on Corsica...however, the on-shore "Grape booth" incident should have been an indicator of what was to come...please do not inquire into the details...it was too horrific!

Now the streets run purple with grape juice, and the howls of AWOOOOOOOOO cause us to squirt Ouzo down our throats with turkey basters!

Please, help. I can hear the HoooooWling geting closer, and....

what's that? A MEEEEOOWING???

Saint Dmitri help us...

RUMER:

RU: From the ancient Aramaic, meaning 'to pull somebody's' and MER: meaning 'leg via FAX.'

This won't won't help those poor Ouzo-addled guys on Corsica, but you may find this of value.
