MONDAY, MAY 19, 2003 "Hey, it’s me again, coming to you live from somewhere beyond the grave. Yup, that’s right. Recent rumors of my untimely demise have been greatly exaggerated, but I’m here to tell you, they’re also TRUE! I’m DEAD! Stiff. Toes up. I hit my expiration date, I’m worm-fodder, pushin’ up daisies, snuffed, cancelled – whatever – I am definitely (sing it like a munchkin!) most legally and sincerely dead! Now, if it sounds to the casual reader as if I’m a little too happy about having Xs over my eyes to REALLY BE dead. I’m here to tell you that having croaked isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. For one thing, from now on I’ll always be LATE. Talk about being on 'Indian time.' Then there’s this lovely aroma I seem to have acquired – I’ve definitely ripened quite well before my time."
