The (Mis)adventures of "Flat Scalzi"




Following up from an entry a couple of days ago, I can say without reservation that this "Flat Scalzi" character is considerably more trouble than anyone expected him to be. Remember, though, that if he gets out of hand, there's always the recycling bin.

I suppose I could compose my own "adventures" with Flat Scalzi, but that would be so much self-referentiality -- even for the Internet -- that this site would implode. We must be careful. Anyway, given my physical state over the last few days, the entire adventure would consist of Flat Scalzi feeding me an entire bottle of cough syrup and then harrassing the pets while I was blacked out. And, sure, that might be amusing to you. But I think my pets might beg to differ.

    John, I swear my attentions were good, but I'm sad to report that my Flat Scalzi fell in the sewer near the Fillmore.  We had a good time, I just wish I could say the same for my small, Scalzi paper friend...  Sorry... http://journals.aol.com/coelha/CoelhaThoughts/entries/1451
