Openfly is Missing

May 15th, 2009 6 comments

Peeps, we have a mystery on our hands! Our very own glamour-girl-in-her-own-mind and celebrity wannabe, Openfly, is missing.

Her disappearance was first noticed by Shalampax’s crackerjack part-time cop and full-time bartender, Buttertart. Well into his shift at the bar, Buttertart realized that Openfly hadn’t yet come in for her regular five pre-dinner cocktails or her four post-dinner liqueurs.

Buttertart was concerned because Openfly hadn’t missed a single one of her nightly drinking sessions for at least five years. Her absence was particularly disconcerting because she was responsible for a large part of the bar’s revenue.

Openfly is Alive

May 18th, 2009 8 comments

Peeps, if you’re regular readers of my column you’ll remember that a few days ago I told you that Openfly was missing. Well, she’s been found!

Actually, “found” isn’t quite the right word. “Heard from” is more accurate.

Openfly has Internet access and has been exchanging emails with her best friend, Cherrytart. In fact, it seems that this communication has been going on for a couple of days now. Cherrytart tried to keep it a secret because, as you’ll recall from my previous post, she was hoping Openfly would be declared to be presumed dead, freeing up her apartment to be taken over by Cherrytart.

Openfly Speaks

May 21st, 2009 8 comments

Hey peeps, I have more news in what seems to be shaping up to be a continuing saga of Openfly’s flight from Shalamapax.

You’ll recall that in my last post I told you that Openfly refused to communicate with any Shalampaxian other than her best friend, Cherrytart. That was true. However, I found out that Openfly has been able to use her own email account while aboard the ship.

I sent her a message begging her to speak with me about her ordeal. At first she refused, but I  successfully bribed her to change her mind. I told her that if she ever comes back to Shalampax I will pick up her bar tab for a full week if she took me into her confidence.

Rivers’ Theory

May 25th, 2009 4 comments

Well peeps, the ongoing tale of Openfly continues. And it just keeps getting weirder.

I mentioned last time that I emailed Dr. Donald Rivers (Don), the zoologist who is holding Openfly captive on a research ship. In my first email to him I asked him why he locked her up. Since then, we’ve exchanged a number of emails.

The email stream is much too long to paste in its entirety here. Instead, the following is a synopsis of our exchange: Read more…

Dr. Don and the Bonobo

May 28th, 2009 8 comments

Gee peeps, it’s beginning to look as if I’m never again going to have time to report on anything but Openfly’s ongoing escapade. I wish I could convince one or two of the other bloggers here at Shalampax Speaks to pick up at least some of this story. Fat chance of that.

Oh well, here’s the latest scoop.

Openfly and the Bonobo

May 31st, 2009 2 comments

Hi, peeps. As you have no doubt come to expect, I have more to tell in the ongoing Openfly tale. Dr. Don sent me a preliminary report based on only a couple of days of observing Openfly and the bonobo.

Unlike some of his other correspondence, I was able to understand this one. So, to save you time, I’ll encapsulate the report rather than reprint the whole excruciatingly long, boring document. (If this is only a preliminary report, we’re going to have to hijack more Internet bandwidth before he sends the full final report.)
