December 23 Dear Computer, A little kid wandered into the gym today. I was the lucky one who got to escort him out. This is no place for kids. December 22 Dear Computer, Well, if you're looking for where the press has been hiding, I think I've found it. Or him. He says, "I'm doing research, could you shut the lid and let me have some peace?" So I did. Odd fellow. December 20 Dear Computer, By day, he's Arnold Schwarzenegger. But when he invokes emergency powers as Governor of California, he becomes one of those super dudes who can make himself really, really big. They call him the Gropinator and he was after me. He picked me up, looking at me as if I were an expendable social service. He spun me over his head and then threw me out the window. I sailed down Bush 43 Avenue until I hit a lamp post and went down with a thunk. Boy, that guy made me mad. It's not like I have any health coverage, making peanuts as Hat Check girl at the Tri-Lateral Commission gym. But does he care? I got up off the sidewalk and shook my fist ineffectively. "When we meet again,you'll be sorry!" I cried. December 19 Dear Computer, Crimefighting isn't as easy as I thought. I merely mentioned the word hot tub to Connecticut Governor Rowland, and the next thing I knew, he'd transformed himself into "TREA-man", non-purveyor of Government Contracts and Graft . My head felt like it had been molecularly rewired and I began drooling profusely. I guess he has a license to carry a concealed hypnotizer gun and decided to blast me. It totally ruined my day. Ruined my costume, too.
