>recently had one of his fire-safety-tip letters
>printed in East Kentucky Magazine, by one of my better
>publishers and editors. Not being a jealous fellow, I
>do not mind and do not whine about Fireman Fred
>finally making the big time. At the Moron City Awful
>House, uh…the Waffle House in Moraine, Ohio, he has
>been signing his autograph upon and within the pages
>of this latest, July/August 2008 issue (just like me);
>thereby bearing and sharing my pains of fleeting

>trade with any of these many people, a classic
>limited-edition two-autographed collector’s-issue
>magazine for a meal.
> Within this latest, July/August 2008, EKM issue
>[received at Buckeye Bureau], The Duke/EKMBBC had to
>autograph this Civil War-reenactment-respect story
>[with photos] for his many fans, family members,
>friends, kin, kids and Fred. Our public, at the
>spouseless Awful House coffee counters, have been and
>will be so supportive and thrilled that Fred has now
>invaded my literary territory. Henceforth and
>hereafter, if Fred or our fans want one of these
>collectible historic East Kentucky Magazines, they are
>at least going to have to buy me a meal [Fred has paid
>for TWO of my breakfasts!], including coffee and diet
>pop, or pay me at least two dollars and fifty cents
>each and apiece. Our friend, Luther MaGill, gets them
>gratis since his late mama, Maudie, came from Jackson,
>KY, five decades before she died.
> Yes, now, Fred has to share my pains of fleeting
>literary fame, including those of posing for pictures
>and of being burdened by an infamous, uh...famous
>name. Our coffee-bum conferees, consultants and
>audiences love it when we humbly hate, hint and
>hesitate to tell them all about our literary
>abilities, efforts, accomplishments and
>disappointments ...for at least an hour or so, like ya
>know.
> After Fred's little letters to local newspaper
>editors have been printed, enlarged and copied, I have
>been giving him lessons and suggestions about how to
>sign a big bold distinctive memorable signature for
>people and posterity, if not for publicity, prestige,
>profit and prosperity. Unlike Fred, I do not complain
>or whine about not making a dime from my writing and
>online time [hurtful research]. Last week, the last
>time that drove to the Moraine Waffle House, I took
>Fred some copies of photos that a couple of our EKM
>waitress/interns had taken of us at the coffee
>counter, while we were autographing this box full of
>East Kentucky Magazines. Therefore, we made them even
>more collectible, historic and valuable with both of
>our signatures boldly signed upon and within their
>paper pages! People probably will not complain or
>holler if we only charge them twenty dollars each and
>apiece and at least...or maybe only ten if they are
>our buddies or friends, now and then.
> It seems to me that, before I retired, I had more
>friends when I was working seven days a week [at the
>DMAX factory] and owned those two Chevy S-10 pickup
>trucks...that were at least good enough for me to haul
>their butts and stuff with. Well, do you mind if I
>forward this one, just for fun? Now, this is not real
>writing! So I shall not wait for at least one day
>before I send it away. But, you might use it to fill
>up some empty space...even if you include Fireman
>Fred's photos and famous name. Gee, I hope that these
>Buckeye dames, damsels, babes, beauties, cuties and
>honeys don't pant, perspire and pester Fred and me
>when they see these better Fred/Duke/EKMBBC letters
>and pretty photos that have been and are going to be
>printed and published by better newspaper editors, as
>they have been by the editor of this magnificent
>marvelous multicultural magazine. Not that we ever or
>never mention this or try to show 'em just to get to

>these attractive young [aged 18-28] ladies to pose for
