"Sir Reality" Private Mail


Dear Veronica Vixen,

I write you because I don't feel comfortable discussing this in front of the TV cameras. While I find you to be a stellar dancer and a magnificent beauty I feel your inquisitiveness at last week's post-challenge cocktail hour to be unsettling. I would no more ask you about your hobbies than I would your past. For that, I ask you to do the same.

Please do not take this to mean that I have something sordid to hide or something dastardly in my past. I am and always will be an upstanding citizen of this community. Because a man has an extensive collection of knives, axes, and machetes, and has a "secret room" in his house with lots of rope, blindfolds, and buckets of blood of unknown origin does not mean he's someone to be suspicious of. Any pertinent information about my background can be found on the questionnaire I filled out before coming on this reality show. I like poodles, long walks in the forest, and gummy bears.

I would like to discuss this with you further. Please meet me, alone, in Confessional Booth A at 3 a.m, Saturday morning. If I'm not there when you arrive, please wait patiently with the lights off.

Thank you.

-Butch Saben

p.s. Perhaps I’ll catch see you before that, 10 p.m. Friday at the Sage Theater. Our challenges await!

You guys, I'm totally serious: Watch this youtube of Jerry Poole on bass!

You don't want to miss my special style blog, coming soon! heart, S/S/B

MISSING: CAT

Goes by the name: Snuffers (Snuffers Raebone)
Color(s): Grey/White

Hello. My name is Butch Saban and I have recently lost my cat. I was trying to burry a garbage bag in my backyard when blood came leaking out. As I headed over to the bodega on the corner to get a new box of garbage bags and a new set of rubber gloves (I was running low) I realized I left my front door open a smidge. I came home only to find Snuffers had vacated the premises.
Snuffers is a beautiful, fragile cat, but also capable of disemboweling a lizard in under 45 seconds.
Please, if you see Snuffers pick her up with caution and return her to me. I am not listed in the phone book but you can bring her to me directly. I will be at The Sage Theater 711 Seventh Avenue, 2nd floor between 47th & 48th St., this Friday night at 10 p.m. If possible, meet me behind the theater. I will be in a plain white van with darkly tinted windows.

Thank you for your cooperation.

From Middle Village to the Moroccan Middle Atlas mountains and back.

An oil sketch I made of my accommodations on my annual trip through North Africa exploring Taourig drum rhythms and indigenous dye pigments of the Tamazight Berber tribes. Looking forward to next year's native spice tour by dromedaire in the Sahara. Ah, vacation! Bisslama, Amelia

Poop Daniels, State Trooper: Incident Report


1t 11:35 a.m., 5 miles east past Cedar Junction on South Virginia Route 3 I came across a bag of weed. I pulled over a blue sedan around 6 miles west of Jackson Hollow because it was the only car I could find. Driver, appeared to be between 10-12 years old but provided a valid handmade driver's license and crayon issued registration.

Around 12:02 pm, I radioed in for Ralph to pick me up a box of Banana-Rama Donuts and Two Spider-Man Popsicles. I specifically told ralph if he wanted a Spider-Man popsicle to order his own. The two popsicles I ordered did not include one for him. When I got pack to the station house, one of my popsicles was missing and Ralph was playing with a popsicle stick. When questioned Ralph stated that I had ordered one for me and one for him. I was appalled. The Banana-Rama Donuts were up to par, however.

At 2:17 p.m. I found an old lady who I was sure owned the bag of weed that I found on the road. I threw her in jail. She said she was 86. I informed her that she had my condolences for spending her twilight years incarcerated for a misdemeanor. Laws are broken by choice.

At 2:18 p.m. Sarge released the old lady at which point I understood why the media is so critical of the system.

At 2:37 p.m. I arrested a man I was convinced was Benito Mussolini. I was absolutely convinced. After being elated at such a high-profile collar, I realized I was mistaken and fined the man $50 for something or other.

At 2:52 p.m. I heard rap music and radioed in for backup. When troopers DeWalt and Duntz arrived on the scene they informed me the music I had heard was "atonal jazz" and not rap music. Upon further listening to the "atonal jazz" which went on to sound like foot steps and roach attennae scraping against lampshades, we realized that such music is that of perpetrators and arrested a man or woman claiming to be a spoken word activist. Another one of society's thorns professionally pruned by the state police.

Vice-Prinicpal Jones: Jurassic Park Will Be Showing in the Cafeteria Today


Dear Students,

This is Vice Principal Jones, your beloved administrator and disciplinarian. Due to the inclement weather the schoolyard is closed for recess today. As a generous concession, in lieu of the recess we will have an all school showing of Jurassic Park in the cafeteria. The movie will commence only after every chicken patty, every lemon square, and every vanilla milk is finished. There is no eating during movies, children. Neither will there be any tolerance granted for talking. If you like something about the movie and wish to tell your friends, do not get excited and start screaming, save your thoughts for the school designated "speaking time." Likewise there will be no bathroom visits during the movie. The movie is a gift from me to you and leaving to relieve yourself would be an insult to my generousity. If you need to go to the bathroom, simply focus on the events of the exciting movie and remember the human bladder can be held for long periods of time. Thank you in advance for being well behaved for the all school showing of Jurassic Park today.

Please note: If you have already seen this movie and speak of its ending to your classmates you be dealt a swift Saturday detention.

Also Please note: After the showing I will have a brief demonstration of my own robot dinosaurs that I once used to hold the governor of Maryland as my prisoner.

See you in the Jurassic Park, students.

Vice Principal Jones
