Dear Mr. Zambaras:
ServesUright.com regrets to inform you that your application to register the name Saffilis Zaengmac as your lawful nom de plume cannot be accepted due to the fact that said aforementioned name was duly registered by one Goask Elgart on June 20, 1972.
Illegibly yours,
(signed)
Saffilis Zaengmac, Jr.
PS. Serves you right for not writing your name in block letters instead of signing off with just your signature, BLOCKHEAD.
Ah, yes. I knew him well.
ReplyDeleteWho, BLOCKHEAD?
ReplyDeleteAnd who
Might that be?
Not you-know-who
Again?
Saffilis Zaengmac: sounds very much like a Chinese with a life threatening disease. So in due course you might try a second attempt.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Petros, for this heartening piece of advice--I will give it another try in my next life!
