Beware! This is a very dangerous Scrabble hustler who is challenging you to a game for money. The cafes of Paris are crawling with these crafty con-artists. Unless you are an unusually deft player, politely decline her invitation.

What do you do if you discover that the shady lady is in cahoots with the waiter who has most likely mickeyed your drink and two hours from now you'll wake up on the pavement with your wallet gone and a screaming headache and a single wooden tile with a "W" etched into it still clasped in your palm?

"...with him Wife Patricka"? Peter is either a refugee from an Indian band in a 1930's western, or a proponent of the new gay marriage. I find papricka to be a superfluous spice, one way or the other.What do you do if you are leaning toward a conclusion when all of a sudden a chaotic reversal occurs and renders you to be tending toward an opinion?

Generally, speaking people with leaning tendancies, tend to lean in a direction of "inability to decide", properly, for themselves, anyways, so...why bother...

It's funny you should ax that quetion because, recently, when I was incarcerated for extortion, contortion, and other crimes of torque, there wasn't much room so they had to squeeze me in between drunk and disorderly, 6'4' football halfback, Ed Johnson, and 350 lb. ice cream thief and couch potato, Richie Wilson.

This is one of those unsual cases where simply not thinking about the problem will make it go away: the painting will soon vanish.

What do you do if you the painting vanishes, but the ladybug does not, and she would like to fly away home but for the unfortunate residue of Cerulean blue which is pasting her wings together making flight quite an impossibility, not to mention rendering her unrecognizable to her kind and therefore likely to be repelled by her young and expelled from her very home, were she even able to get there?

I'd buy her two tickets on Southwest airlines, tell her to find a body painter and send regards to her family.

No surprise really. The left wing has been challenged from the start... since the Wright brothers pioneered aircraft and flight as we know it.

Neither a planet nor a star, I guess I'd be an oxymoron. At the height of my success, the best I might hope for is a special episode of Nova.

Freud would interpret this rapture of the deep as expressing a long repressed desire to do a drunk druid dance, saucily sipping sangria. The mermaid represents the French maid costume you would like to wear while doing this (Mer=sea in French).

What do you do if you discover that in the land of French sea maids, all females are waited on hand and foot by self contained above water nitrogen breathing druid garçons whose supply of sangria is endless, and who enjoy rowing you around the perifery of any of the lesser Antilles in Venetian gondolas, who enjoy carrying you around the perifery of any anthill, and who will read Proust to you while you eat, service compris?

In most countries you are stuck with the situation. In New Zealand, however, due to an archaic law that has never been struck from the books it is possible to forcibly demote any first cousin to second or third cousin by completely tattooing your face with grotesque designs and performing a series of hideous grimaces until they are intimidated into submission.

In the year !888, you say? Ahhhh! I daresay therein lies the key to your quetion, for it is a documented hysterical fact that in the year !888 the Great Doge of Venice, returned, after a long exile, having been forced to flea a few years prior by the unseemly hysterisms of his second cousin, twice removed. And this leader brought with him, from the land of his roots, a vast supply of Danish pastry... so, I would eat pastry by golly yes, eat delicious danish pastry!

What do you do if said Danish Delights, which satisfied the midnight cravings of all Venetians (including anyone batty, and those who did not give a hoot) also served the ghastly purposes of the Venusians and their guileful comings and goings, masquerading as genuine citizens who later went so far as to coin the Latin chant, "Venite adoremus," (since adopted, ironically, as a Christian carol), such that these aliens were able for centuries hence to remain infiltrated, feigning loyalty by way of sweets and song?

I would say, then, "There is something rotten in the state of these danish." And I would pass the info along to the three musketeers at The Lone Gunman in the hopes they would place a call to the Lonely agent Mulder and the Lovely agent Scully (whose Latin is not lacking since her Catholicism is Currant, as are her danish, and whose buns, not the currant ones, come, let us adore them). And it is because of their fondness for sweet Danish that we now know why the gray space aliens have no teeth left.

What do you do if you have been hard at work translating news from Italian into English, you publish it on the web, and then you discover that it is a secret code giving the signal to all sweet-craving de-dentured indentured, dented gray space aliens to now disdain the Danish during the Dunkin' Donuts Dormancy Deregulation Drive?
