Jaysus, Bill! I thought I was the only one.
A few years back, when I was running a publishing company
that was a part of a larger umbrella corporation, we had one
of those insipid company newsletters run by a toothsome but
terminally ditzy blonde (sorry about the cliche, but I can't
change her hair color) woman who kept coming up with these
weird, arcane, totally pointless questions to ask the
inmates. It was inevitable that she'd get around to naming a
hypothetical eight dwarf, with the understanding that the
Disney paradigm would be adhered to. And it wasn't long after
her stewardship launched that she did just that.
So I put "Ploscaru" on the coupon and stuck it in her
mailbox. Poor gal probably still has no clue.
Incidentally, MISSIONARY STEW isn't a bad Ross Thomas,
either. PB
