Ho, Netizens!

'Tis I again, Tex, your humble servant and host for Disembodied Animal Head Theatre!

Firstly, allow me this opportunity to give thanks to all of you. The outpouring of e-mails from all around this blue-green orb expressing support and inquiring as to when episode four of our meager broadcast shall be available has been, quite simply, stunning. Your kind words have meant so much to this simple rubber chicken.

Secondly, you will be happy to know that our labor problems are coming to a head -- no pun intended! The ensemble has agreed to return to the broadcast, contingent upon the fulfillment of certain bric-a-brac and nonsense. Never fear, the show shall go on! (As an aside, I have retained Mr. de Netta as my personal assistant. He aspires to properly join the ensemble someday, but must first intern before being granted full membership. Personally, I feel that he has the talent -- nay, the moxie -- to be the head of the ensemble. No pun intended. Alas, such a circumvention of the rules would be deemed unfair to those who have navigated their way through the correct channels.)

Finally, and on a more scholarly note, I wish to draw your attention to mononymic theatrical impresario, Garrick. You no doubt recognize the name . . . Garrick is the creative genius behind that bold new form of theatrical expression named "Llama Drama". Yes, his full-scale production of Hello Dolly with a cast of 250 llamas in full period attire shall forever be remembered as a milestone of theatrical progress; progress that reaches as far back as Aeschylus and Longinus. Well, Garrick has since moved on to a project of great ambition: He has taken it upon himself to translate the whole of William Shakespeare's works into something called "Leet". I've been told "Leet" (or "1337", whatever that means) is some sort of feral-creolesque techno language. At any rate, it is a bold undertaking, and we wish Garrick well.

Here are some samples, from Henry V, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and The Tempest. Enjoy! Or as the Leetfolk say, Woohoo!

Excelsior!

-- Tex
