PZCut, Bacon, Tragedy, Madness

From: Poison Ivy (poizniv@gmail.com) | Date: 2006-04-19 20:04:38 UTC
Oh, fine. Silence reigns. Will NO one step forward to defend ME?

Unsavory? UNSAVORY ! ?

I admit to nothing except an obviously heighter sense of fashion
that you call costumes and disguises. (When have you EVER seen me in
anything but an Erje original?)

I'm warning you, Verde Tortellini, if that inspector Pork Frank,
comes snooping around my chocolate starfish, (huh, that's
funny, .... now I'm hungry) ... what was I saying?

I would have responded immediately had not my dear sister fainted in
despair, finding that another scandal was being thrown willy-nilly
at a Hedge family member. This libelous casting of aspersion upon my
good name is enough to make me follow my dear sister's flaming
descent into the madness of an emotional breakdown. (My goodness!
The thought just occurred to me, is this a hereditary trait?)
Instead, I'll simply reach for the flask, sharpen my nails and let
loose.

IF you've ever read Variety, or Show Business Weekly, seen me at
Carnegie Hall, Stockholm, D.C., or heard me on various CDs, you'd
know that I'm VERY active in the theatre and barely have time for a
breath between shows, let alone enough time to scrape off all the
makeup. (I still get odd looks at work.) Unfortunately it is my
habit to keep quite a few irons in the fire.

For example,
*I'm in the middle of rehearsals for the Kennedy Center (with
Barbara Cook - no, she's not dead.)
*Rehearsals for Seussical at the Apollo (not Harlem's),
*I volunteered to make my own (slimming) Horton the Elephant costume
*A large (tastefully nude) acryllic reproduction of Paul
Cadmus' "The Bath"
*Sewing 'Lucky' shirts for a friend (Oh, the things I'll do for
money)
*Compose new Prissmas Carols ( Prissmas is THIS SATURDAY ! The
holiday dedicated to "I told you so.")
*Drink to forget.
*Drive by Martha Stewart's at night and plant trailer trash lawn
ornaments (she hates that!)
*Resort my wigs to Miss Clairol's new number matching system
*Gut the kitchen
*Hide more boxes from Wanda
*Clean the basement
*Advance the Homosexual Agenda

What's that, 13 projects off the top of my head? When the heck would
I have time to snag somebody's PZCut? (Der Mad Who?)

Apart from the fact that I know exactly who (I mean what) I was
doing at the time this 'crime?' occurred, (using Stealthboxer's
logic - if I say I'm a speckled iquana, you'll just have to believe
that I am), I don't even know that I've ever even touched PZCut. It
distastfully sounds like something to do with a Briss (Ewww! and
Ow ! ) AND, speaking of brisses, I use the grey stuff from
DickBlick.com anyway, (it's inexpensive, and the company name is
strangely appealing.

AND, come to think of it, being so, so busy as I am, it has occurred
to me if someone were trying to sully my name, I think I know who it
could be. I "accidentally" renamed control freak, Sewsowbizzy, by
calling her "So So Bossy" at the Letterboxing Pub Crawl last
January. (I was also wearing a handsewn fabulous official pub crawl
shirt - she was SO envious of the sewing skill) I guess she wasn't
as far into her cups at the time as I thought. (I'm still surprised
she remembers ANYthing.) Framing me is just like something she would
do as revenge. (I guess I would too if my only fabulous accessory
were a red hat.) If she thinks it'll work, then she's So SO Dizzy!
I'm going to have to give her a piece of my mind.

Motive? She's upset I called her So So Bossy and jealous that I'm
more fabulous than she is. Opportunity? Who the heck knows? She's
part of a national female organization that has opperatives all over
the place.

Poison Ivy

P.S. AND How COULD anyone trust anything from someone named GREEN
TORTUGA? I mean, what even IS that? Humph!
unsavory...grumble....razafrazza...)

On behalf of Sowsewbitc...er..you know who and Red Hat Boxers up and down the Eastern Seaboard I must protest!!! Watch it PI, we're middle aged and hormonally challenged, you don't know who you're messin' with. We have carving tools and estrogen and are not afraid to use them. Be afraid, be very afraid...

I'm not defending anything related to the weed that causes me so much
misery. Creeping, crawling, going where it's not invited--that's
Poison Ivy in a nutshell--can't trust the stuff.

I take a little vacation and this is what I come home to! You can check
my LBMA posts -

VA Beach Boxin'
That would be Virginia Beach Virginia - check the date

Re: Virginia Beach Boxes..interesting
-- Still there,
surely someone can verify my computer access was direct from the Ocean
Sands on Atlantic Ave --- or was I in Web City Caf, hmmmmm

Changing Locations
a week later I went to Delaware and used the Lewis Library
computer after emptying my wallet to purchase an out-of-stater
library card - cause they don't take American Express - VISA,
Mastercard, Discover . . .and neither did the Bait & Tackle Shop where
the annual pass to the DE State Parks sucked up another fifty four
dollars, and all this expense after having to pay cash to get across the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel cuss they don't take EZPass!

There is no way I could have driven with quite literally only one dollar
on my person from VA via DE, thru MD, WV, OH, IN, IL, IA, NE, WY and ID
to arrive 11 states away in OR. Besides it would have taken me a month
of Sundays to print all those mappoint.msn.com maps with all turns shown
and every letterbox enroute carefully mapped for the most efficient most
boxious journey of my life. Not to mention, at my clueless pace I'd
still be in WV - - where my fashionably challenged acusser has taken up
residence and name calling.

No sooner have I regained my demure composure after the slam that I
might be part of a RedHat Box'r gang, well not in just those words,
but I felt that was what was meant; than I am indirectly acussed via my
other affiliation. Yes, I was the last to join the Baker's Dozen and
had I know then where such an unlucky number would landed me in the LB
community I . . . would have gone anyway because I have a Dartmoor One
Hundred Patch and that is worth more to me than any amount of PZ White
Stuff.

Anyway, I recently bought the last of the PZ Orange Stuff --- ooops, I
wasn't suppose let that slip. But I need it for carving the MonyLoop
State Stamps and all the bonus boxes that will be part of the "It's
Just a Game" gather in Killens Pond State Park, Felton DE in October.
Check it out on http://de-games.tripod.com/
and sign-up on AQ . . . Hey! I'm not the
only one with a plug and no shame!

I've been home for a few hours now and have given this caper a whole
lot of thought - after I unloaded the car, got the tomatos planted, went
through two weeks of mail, fixed dinner, and read three days worth of PZ
Caper posts. Now, I can't imagine anyone of the LBMA persuasion
being so dastardly (except maybe someone who makes others crawl) as to
steal a complete cache of PZ White Stuff. So I looked beyond and
eliminated anyone from LBNE, as they are way too serious to violate any
of the LB commandments, including not coveting thy neighbors PZ White
Stuff. Now, I have traveled to the LBSE and part took of a gather in
Charlotte, and have even boxed in GA, AL and FL. They seem to be really
nice folk and not prone to using PZ White Stuff. Since I hope to return
next year my suspicions must be directed further away . . . from any
face to face retaliation. Hmmmm, Texas is a big state doing things in
big ways --- like taking ALL the PZ white stuff, not just enough for a
dozen stamps or so. There sure are a lot of members on AQ, but one name
that jumps out from Texas is that Barefoot Lucy gal. Seems she has stuff
under her bed that she's not talking about. And what's with the
bare feet? Sneaking around so she won't be heard??

And get this, she has a hobby of storytelling . . . sounds more like a
habit and I'm sure she's going to tell us a big one! Better get
Inspector Frankfurter on her trail quick!

OH MY GOODNESS!

I can NOT believe I was just brought into this whole fiasco! I've been
slaving away at my computer these past couple days trying to put the last
minute details on a campout for 150 of my favorite cub scouts and their
dads, and my only entertainment has been reading the twists and turns of the
PZ Cut saga, and now I'M called to question? I want to clear my name as
quickly as possible. I simply cannot go away for the weekend with my name
under scrutiny!

Let me state this as clearly as possible: I was nowhere around Der Mad
Stamper's house at midnight, although I do admit I complained about him at
the karaoke bar earlier in the evening!



You see, I spent the winter carving stamps and making boxes and I've spent
every night dreaming of where I would put them all once Spring came. My
dreams were cut short when last Friday my husband (who isn't a letterboxer
and thus can hardly understand the significance of all that rubber-laced
Tupperware!) gave me until the end of this weekend to get rid of all my
precious creations or he was going to sell them on eBay (curse that KMartha
post it gave him the idea!) or even worse in our garage sale next weekend!
I could hardly stand the thought of some garage sale scavenger buying my
beautiful boxes for a nickel apiece so her kid could teethe on them or the
dog could buries bones in them or some equally hideous demise, so I set out
Friday at the crack of noon and started planting, and planting, and
planting. In fact, I planted until dark and long after, stopping only once
to have a drink or six and listen to some good karaoke. After I finished my
last drink, I decided the drinks weren't making that karaoke-singing DMS guy
sound any better, so I complained to the manager that he needed to audition
folk before he let them sing and I joined the horde of other people escaping
from the bar and got back to my planting. I was beginning to see light on
the horizon when I got the last box planted 21 in all! I had placed all
those boxes in less than one day! They are scattered across thirteen parks
in six towns, but I got them all planted every last one of them! And I
did all that planting on my bicycle, so there is no WAY I could've been the
culprit bikes don't screech tires and DMS's stash of PZ Kut is far too
massive to carry on a bike besides!



Even though no one saw me planting boxes at midnight and beyond, that's what
I was doing! My husband can tell you there were boxes strewn across our
kitchen table yesterday and there are none there today, and once I
eventually get them posted, you will find them all safely tucked away, at
least until some boozing raccoon smells the tequila that I spilled all over
myself and then spread to the boxes and destroys them to get to the liquor.




SO Sewsobizzy you shouldn't speak out of turn! If you want to be
helpful, why don't you mention that it could've been Spring Chick she HAS
been planning a trip to the Northwest for quite awhile now, but then, I
don't think everyone knew about THAT!

I've been thinking about WHY someone would steal DMS's carving material. And I've come to the conclusion that it was revenge, pure and simple.
A believe it will become a serial of revenge thefts, perpetrated on all our 'Boxing Forefathers (and Foremothers).
"Revenge for what?" you are asking...

Revenge for the whole K-Martha scadal.

If I were a 'Boxing Forefather (or Foremother), I would keep a close eye on all things related.

Well yes, I did take a trip on the weekend in question (but not to
the Pacific NW)... and I was even buried in white stuff, but I am
afraid it was not the beloved PZKut, rather it was snow! Yes, you
heard me correct (this is Michigan, after all)! OldShoe and I were
planning a trip to Chicago for a concert and decided to take the
long way, through the U.P. so I could stop in Door County, WI as I
had placed a box there last fall and lost the clues and wanted
desperately to check on the box and make new clues. Once we got
across the Mackinac Bridge and into the U.P., it began snowing like
I have never seen -- wet, heavy snow, making driving quite
treacherous. It was so bad we had to spend the night in question in
the little town of Gulliver at a quaint little bed and breakfast
just up the road from the Haunted Lighthouse at Seul Choix Point.
We awoke the next morning to find everything covered with white (no
not PZKut, snow)! At least 10 inches of snow had fallen! Despite
the snow, we continued on our way to Chicago and once the sun came
up, the snow completely melted in less than an hour -- I bet a lot
of people living up there never even knew it had snowed!

So you see, I was buried in snow in the remote north of Michigan and
could not possibly have stolen Mr. Stamper's PZKut. This does seem
curious to me though, because upon my return home from Chicago, I
purchased a lot of white PZKut from E-Bay. I was overjoyed to see
it for sale and was willing to pay the steep price and for express
shipping. As a matter of fact, I was just mentioning the other day
that the first thing I did with my new PZKut was make a new Personal
Traveler for myself -- it carved like a dream!

Upon learning of the missing carving material, I considered that
perhaps I had purchased stolen goods. I checked the auction details
more carefully and even wrote to the seller asking where they had
obtained this lot of PZKut. I have not heard back from the seller,
whose ID was TGD_Brian. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Yes,
exactly! and I find it quite peculiar that the person in question
has been silent since the heist... perhaps this should be more
thoroughly investigated...

Another thought....
Has anyone checked to see if there is a particular Letterboxer with a sudden increase in their P counts?
Are we looking too closely at "traditionalist"? Could it perhaps all be in the name of HH advancement? Perhaps someone is replenishing their supply after a winter carving frenzy!

What do you think CQ?

For now, I suspect mr_p.body! I see he or his alter-ego just joined AQ
about the time this ruckus began. And the same on this list. Hmmmm.
Does the -P- in Peabody indicate something?

Ok...you got me.
The P. stands for PZ Kut!
I wasn't stolen, I ran away!

This whole "bought it on eBay" story sounds very shady. I am completely
convinced that SpringChick must be the one who committed this crime.

If this turns out to be true, your PI better get busy! Someone is likely
to score a Bingo soon. We've been told the bingo booty is to die for.

Wasn't daelphinus making Don Quixote references over on the AQ message board about a month ago?

Something about the name Don Qui becoming the word donkey somewhere along the line.

Could it be daelphinus is calling Insp. Spareribs an ASS?

Yes - there WAS an brief discussion about Don-keys.

I have been pondering this ... shouldn't/wouldn't the few days before Tax
Day have been nutty for our Mr. Pepe? That is, if he truly is a bean
counter? How could he have found the time to do anything but push paper?
I wonder how he manages to be so involved with letterboxing at this time
of year. Is this an alibi or a defense? I'm waiting to see what happens
next.

And by the way, it's been great not having other earth-shattering threads
to watch. The season has begun!

This is getting more frustrating all the time! It's been a week since
I saw my beautiful Grade A white PZ Kuts. My house seems so empty and
lonely without them, and nothing seems to be going my way lately...

This morning, I mistakenly poured Cocoa Pebbles into the puffer fish
bowl and put my poor kitty into the snake cage. And yesterday I
accidentally killed all my pink tulips with a golf club. So, on top
of everything else, I guess I'm going to have to go buy a new five-
iron now.

My neighbor lady bought new extra-thick drapes and installed bars on
the outside of all her windows. I think I saw a locksmith over there
this morning, too. She must have heard about the robbery and got
nervous!

As for me, I'm losing sleep, and barely had enough appetite for my
second bottle of pale ale this morning. I didn't even go to any
karaoke bars last night! This whole thing is really getting me down!

To top it all off, I've already received another ransom note from the
thief. After all those previous notes telling me to wait for
instructions, this one just tells me to figure it out for myself, and
includes more insults directed at Investigator Bacon...

"You waNT Your PZ KuT BacK
WHaT DO i WaNT
i DO NoT WaNT Your
GreeN BacKs
You FiGure iT ouT
Your Pi is a
BareFooT HiLLBiLLY
reDNecK HicK
BuT WHo aM i"

I've been trying to contact the Investigator to tell him about this
new note, but he's not answering his cell phone... and I'd hate to
have to walk all the way into the kitchen, where he's sitting with
all those clues and documents spread out all over my table. Why do I
keep spending my money on this fool if he won't even answer his cell
phone when I call?

What does this desperate criminal want from me? What do I need to do
to end this horrible nightmare? Isn't there anyone out there who can
help me? I guess I'll just take another shot of tequila and try
calling my investigator again. Maybe I'll shout at him this time and
tell him to pick up that stupid cell phone...
