Charie D. La Marr, mayor ofPersiphoniaover 16 years agoToday was a very special day for Persiphonia’s ever growing shopaholic population. Frankoff’s—one of the oldest stores in Persiphonia announced they were going out of business. After 75 years in business, third generation Al and Maxine Frankoff have decided to enjoy their retirement years in Florida. And that means Going Out Of Business Sale! 70% off the lowest ticket price on everything! Shopping carts were filling fast and lines were long when a loud scream came from the shoe department. It seems that Peggy Sue Bluestone and Ethel Mc Inerney were fighting over a pair of red patent leather Jimmy Choo stilettos. With two previous markdowns, plus the 70% discount, the 400 dollar pair of shoes came to 35 dollars! Who could pass up a bargain like that? Each had one shoe and was wildly trying to pry the second one from the other woman’s hands. But neither was letting go. Finally, Ethel let loose with a big roundhouse left that knocked Peggy Sue into a rack of shoes, dumping the entire rack to the floor and knocking out two of her front teeth. But she still clung to that red patent leather shoe as she crawled across the floor and bit Ethel on her ankle, causing her to scream and use the other shoe to beat Peggy Sue off of her. But neither woman would let go. Soon the police were called. Salesgirls quickly righted the fallen rack and got the shoes back in order and women casually went about their business of bargain hunting. Both women were taken down to the local jail where they waited 6 hours—long enough for them to cool off but also long enough for me to finish shopping. I sentenced them to time served, plus I ordered them to pay each other’s medical bills, including tetanus shots for both. You just can’t be too careful with all these flu things going around. Then I returned to Frankoff’s for another round of shopping. And by the way—I bought the red patent leather stilettos. In fact I wore them to court when I sentenced them. Boy you should have seen the looks on their faces. I doubt either one will ever speak to me again. Tough. The shoes looked fantastic with my black robes. I found them in black and navy, too. And if they had been nice, I would have asked the salesgirl to hold the other two red pairs I found for them until they got out of the pokey. But too late. They’re gone now. All’s fair in love, war and bargain shopping. Today, I will be sending you some of the soon to be unemployed salesgirls from the Frankoff’s shoe department. They know their shoes. And for entertainment, how about ‘The Devil Wears Prada’? Nothing like taking you to a good chick flick to prove a man really loves you. I’ll be watching it tonight, too. Wearing my new black silk pajamas and my new red stilettos while eating a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food ice cream. Now that is good stuff. Please remember to POP or Entertain us back often when you see us down. I am back up to 1000 connections, but have started dumping 2x weekly poppers. I ONLY accept cities who send a FRIEND REQUEST. Don’t ask here and don’t send me a message to my inbox. It can’t keep up with it as it is. ONLY friend requests will be considered in the order they arrive.

AND NOW FOR THE LATEST NEWS … Tales of Persiphonia is now online! I am in the process of adding all of the tales from way back in the beginning, along with my personal tips for playing the game and other cool Persiphonia stuff.

Charie D. La Marr, mayor ofPersiphoniaover 16 years agoToday we have been officially afforded another Nobel Prize. This time in the field of Garbology. Osgood Bloomberg PhD (another one of those snobby fake PhD kind of doctors!) has won the coveted award for his work in answering that age old question “Where do all the hats, umbrellas, newspapers and other stuff that blow away during wind and rain end up?†Well thanks to Ozzie as he is known to friends, we now have the definitive answer. Late last year while hiking in the snowy Northern countryside of Persiphonia, Ozzie accidently stumbled quite literally upon a sink hole. To be more specific, he stumbled INTO a sink hole. He was trapped there for several days, surviving on nothing more than snow and the occasional squirrel that fell into the hole, before his wife Matilda realized he was missing and called the police. Ozzie isn’t a very exciting guy. Anyway, as the snow began to melt, Ozzie began to discover that he wasn’t alone in the hole. Aside from the occasional squirrel, he found literally hundreds of hats, umbrellas, newspapers, plastic bags and other windblown items. This got Ozzie thinking. When the snow melted and spring arrived, Ozzie invested in some spelunking (man, I LOVE that word!) and some rock climbing stuff. He began spending his spare time down in the hole, digging deeper and deeper, finding more and more items the deeper he went. When he got down far enough to find a newspaper announcing the beginning of the Great Depression of 1929, he knew he was on to something. Soon he applied to Persiphonia University (Good Ole PU) and got a 50 million dollar grant to study the subject. And soon he was digging his way through the history of garbage. The things he found were truly amazing. From Lincoln’s stovepipe hat to Washington’s three corner hat to Mary Poppins’ umbrella. When he got to a batch of notes that Plato must have had blow away on his way to a lecture, one thing was clear. This truly WAS the place where hats, umbrellas and other items end up on windy days. Soon, archaeologists and garbologists from all over the world were rushing to Persiphonia for their chance to sink into the history of the world through its garbage. And I didn’t even know we had a sink hole! I did, however recover a very fine picture hat that I wore at my inaguration on a very windy day in 19 (coughs coughs). Too bad it wasn’t still wearable.
