for all the tea in china
all the dinero in my i-ra
all the fish in the sea
all the granfalloons in our family
$20 u.s. prize money for the winning entry. $5 for the judge.
so many characters to choose from. four are taken. @alan asnen is bokonon. i discovered this while composting nearly a year ago. i ran it by him, and he was “happy to be any Vonnegut character.” my notes from that momentous day are still for sale. perhaps $500 canadian ($366.45 u.s.d.) is too much to ask? any reasonable offer considered. a copy of page one of mis notas is in the post below.
dwayne, from “Breakfast of Champions”, speed reader and rampant capitalist, has been taken by Smillew Rahcuef.
and kilgore trout is, por supuesto, Nathaniel Killgore. i should stop by his hookah lounge and remind him. it’s been a while since he 86'd lucy furr.
did kurt vonnegut ever write a children’s book?
Laurel B. Miller, stay-at-home mom extraordinaire, invited me to her pub, many moons ago. i was happy to post my first picture book for children.
the fourth spot that’s already taken. yours truly. i am the empress ballerina in ‘Harrison Bergeron’, “Welcome to the Monkey House”. to be coronated queen del hemisferio norte was a natural progression.
so, there you have it.
it isn’t an easy challenge.
go for a walk in the hills, meditate, procrastinate
es all good.
leave a link to your entry in the comments. if you’d like to be the judge, let me know.
