nce upon a time, not too far away,  in a land of frozen snow and women who enjoy such activities as embarrassing themselves by appearing on *Joe Millionaire* and showing how silly  they really are, there lived a slightly crazy lady who believed herself to be a princess. She was so convinced of this that she moved into a tower room  way up on the top of a lonely  hill.  The tower was full of cobwebs, spiders and mice.  But did she use the mop that was sitting in the corner to clean them away?   Oh no, she started to dance with it and pretended that is was a handsome prince.

Her royal feline companion, who had been forced to come along on the threat of no more tuna, was totally disgusted with this state of affairs, but grateful at least that the silly woman had enough sense to bring along some firewood which had been rotting on the patio of their nice warm dwelling in the town below & her computer gismos to keep her occupied and out of the cat's hair when she tired of her moppy beau.   The royal cat demanded that her satin pillow be placed in front of the fire and curled up for a nap, but not before shooting our pseudo-princess a  truly disgusted look.

All of her friends and her loving family were dismayed.  They did not know what to do with the silly woman who believed herself to be a princess.  Her dear sister, Molly, who really was a princess by the way, realized that the poor woman did not realize that she had been switched at birth and was really the child of the Wizardess who lived in the Cave of Codes and was feared by all except her trusted servant, a bat known only as K. Our pseudo-princess never seemed to notice just how much she and the evil Wizardess of the Cave of Codes looked like one another.  All the townspeople had whispered about it for years but sweet Molly had taken pity upon her and hurried her along so she would not hear the speculations.

All the residents of the town were sure the woman was quite mad.  She was known for occasional, violent fits of temper.  During which she would gather them all in a small room and force them to stare for endless hours into rows of glowing boxes which she called computers and punish them unmercifully with a torture device that they believed to be some form of lightning as she had been heard to call it flash. These torture sessions were rumored to last for up to six weeks at a time.  These were the only times her fabulous feline owner was known to remove herself from the fire or the dinner dish.  The cat was the only relief the weary people had from the pseudo-princess's evil flashing moods as she would curl her tail around their legs or jump in their laps to purr and whisper how well they were surviving the flashing fits.

Needless to say, the entire population was gleeful when they heard that the woman they believed to be more than a little mad decided to lock her self in the tower with all her glowing boxes and the wicked flash fits.  They were more than happy to let her believe that she was truly a princess if it only kept her in the tower.  Besides, they had heard that her mother was getting a bit worn out and wanted to find her daughter and teach her all the dark and dubious secrets of the Cave of Codes.  They had also heard that the devious bat known only as K was plotting to be rid of the pseudo-princess once and for all so that she could inherit the magic of the cave.

Kindly Village Ladies


[aka. The adorable and helpful Butzi & sweet Brat-lady]

Two of the women in the town were heard whispering about this.  Not only did these women sort of like the whacky pseudo-princess [though they would never admit it to anyone else] but they wanted to learn about the magic of the flash and solve the riddles of the Cave of Codes once and for all so that the Wizardess would no longer have power over the town with her strange and mysterious incantations of "&quota;  ©" which were recited daily in a dark and foreboding voice which wove nightmares into their afternoon naps.  So, they set out to find a way to help the pseudo-princess arm herself against the wicked bat known only as K while plotting how to learn the secrets of the Wizardess and the magic of the flash all at once.  They scratched their heads and wondered what to do. 

Then they remembered that the town jokester [aka. Pamelia], had been taking online courses as a private investigator.  Ah ha!  They believed they had found the help they sought to retrieve the information needed to infiltrate the castle and the cave.

But now the hour is getting late.  The cat needs her nap by the fire that needs to be stoked and filled with logs to last through the night.  We may take up this story another day and then again we may not...only time will tell.

The burning questions we will leave you with this week:

• Will the pseudo-princess with hot flashes be safe in the tower?
• Will the wicked bat known only as K appear from wherever she has been hiding and plotting against the pseudo-princess?
• Will the kindly village ladies become flashers and also learn the secrets of the Cave of Codes?
• Will P.I. Pam succeed in her mission and/or finally get her private snoop's certificate of completion?
• Will ever Molly recover from the headaches that her adopted sister has caused her?
• Will the Beckster have a fit and swear this is all a lie & that her dreams of grandeur are reality?

Stay tuned, listen closely and remember, there can always be a quiz on this stuff around here at any moment!
