Fernbird lovers of the world, unite! And rent out recreation halls, and play pin the tail on the fernbird, and serve fernbird surprise on paper plates with my face printed on them, and 'tango lassis" that make you dance when you drink them, and request "the song of the fernbird" from bewildered DJ's, and raffle off personal Fernbird items for the benefit of my many bogus charities, and announce the winner of the "why I want to shovel Fernbird's driveway" essay contest, and... oops, hold on a second, it's time for my medication.
