  • Is this in the archives already?

    I realise that this, too, was probably published in the eponymous and sadly out-of-print Now Endsville, but I do not remember coming across it in the Salon Archives. (If it is there somewhere, then there's no need for us to stay in suspense for the next few weeks!)

  • if you really want to find Mr. Right

    then you have to go to your nearest chess club and look for Mr. Right amongst the players

  • archives

    Don't know if it's in the archives, but my suggestion is to go on eBay and try to find a dog-eared copy of "Now, Endsville". The odd copy is out there if you're lucky.

    If you've never read the entire serial, stick around. This is one of Carol's best stories.

  • EEK!

    Knock knock. Who is it? The right Mr. Right? Go away. I refuse. I'll kick the home door until my left toe falls off. okay. Thanks.

    Oh, what wonderful hospitality.

    Mr Right has green teeth, white whiskers, a bum leg,

    And no Mr Ken doll. No. He has a one half in. penis?

    NoWay!

    Maybe he needs to drive a grey pick-up dump-truck?

    Maybe he will knock on the door in his pink pajamas?

    Not yet brushed the teeth, and clutching a green duck.

    I am now hugging a Sigmud doll rubber piglet today.

    EEK!

    Go away. No. No way will you hurt my toe. No WayLay!
