: : Dear Gnome,
: : Now just pick your little pointy red hat up out of the dirt and settle down. This "computer" thing is all a nightmare brought on by consumption of a batch of bad mushrooms. Just tell yourself it's not real at all and go back to sending smoke signals like the rest of us do. Puff puff puff puff. See how easy it is? Why your little face is as red as your hat! There, there, calm yourself down, and we'll go over to Miss Marcia's and have one of her seriously refreshing mint juleps or maybe a plate of her special calming Fuuu-uuuu-dge with a cool glass of buttermilk.

Dear Gnome,
No no no no - you've got it all confused. The buttermilk goes with the fuuu-uuu-dge. The mint juleps are in a class of their own, not to be mixed with anything that would interfere with their glorious results. Poor Gnome Dome, you really are in a bad way aren't you?
As for UPS, I think you had best count them out. They're a little fussy about their cargo. However, Miss Marcia has an excellent courier service that employs totally dependable whooping cranes and delivers anything anywhere anytime. I believe their motto is something on the order of "When you hear the whoop, it's on your stoop". We must remember to ask her for their contact smoke signal.
