Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Nah, I appreciate a good editor. It's a rare skill and always improves pieces when used well.

That said, I confess that my reviews came to me in a prophetic dream and were ultimately carved by lightning into stone tablets high upon Mount Lester. Just in case you were thinking about cutting them. (ah, I kid.)

carved by lightning into stone tablets

As an editor, I scoff at stone tablets. I wield a mighty stonecutter.

Nah, you're in. But I need you to sign a release.

Some people submitted multiple sidebars. We're being careful not to cut any of the solicited and approved main reviews. Nobody's going to be cut out of the book entirely.

So you're responsible for Steve Guttenberg's career!

The minute I typed "stonecutter" -- nay, as soon as I got "s-t-o-" out -- I knew it was going to go in a Simpsons direction.

No, really it's fine.

There's really nothing to worry about with that clause about signing over your house to the editors

Why? So Kim can find the box of Lothars CDs and sell them on eBay?

Surely that would finance a house for each of us. Last I checked the Lothars were outselling the Butcher cover.
