Anguished English is a hoot, it's true.

Apropos of humor as a good coping strategy--Steve Allen, who passed away this week, addressed that in his autobiography. His childhood was fairly difficult, but he used his gift of humor to cope and move past it.

> Oh!!! My husband is now taking claim for a new diagnosis - Lumpism!!!

Well, and deservedly so I would say. It's a very impressive piece of coinage. Hmmm, I suppose that would make us all "Lumpites"! Or would it be "Lumpians" or "Lumptonians"? Ask your husband what the proper designation for us should be.

I must say about the only upside to bein' a Lumpite I've seen so far is that it is extremely energy-efficient. You couldn't power a hearing-aid off the juice I've produced this week. It seems the most remarkable of all the lumpistic byproducts.

Folks like us should probably have our own web site like www.lumpites.org, but of course being lumpastic as we are, none of us would ever get around to visiting it.

Keep smilin',

My husband says Lumptonians as it has a much more regal sound to it!!!!

We should start designing our flag . . .

And, our own anthem . . .

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light,
what so proudly we wail as we haven't slept all night,

uhhh, I KNOW there's more to that song....

...the Lord said, "let there be Lumptonians and let us make them in our own image, both male and female." And it was so!

And the Lord looked upon them and said, "Holy crap!! Sorry guys, my AD musta' kicked me into another manic episode." And the Lord and all the Lumptonians started getting depressed.

On the seventh day, the Lord and all the Lumptonians, crawled on couches, pulled covers over their heads and napped all day; refusing to answer phone calls from friends and families.

Are you the Messiah for our new religion? I would volunteer, but not if it means getting off the sofa. My voices told me to save France, but I couldn't be bothered. I feel guilty about it...

Sorry, a little too ditzy today, peroxide poisoning, even though I'm trying to get back to red from my days as a blonde...

My SO calls it "pupating", since I roll up in a quilt with only my nose and a little of my eyes showing! My ex called me SlugWoman, because I'd move about that fast. I like being able to tell them that I'm suffering Lumpism! Thanks!

On the other hand, I kinda like the idea of Pupating. These days things are better for me, in part because I can eat REAL FOOD! (I was so poor before moving in with my SO that I lived on Malt-O-Meal and peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches) Now I tell him that I'm pupating, and when he sees me next I'll be a beautiful butterfly!

How's that? Let's switch from Lumping to Pupating, since when we emerge from our crysalis' we'll be lovely butterflies?

> Are you the Messiah for our new religion? I would volunteer, but not if it means getting off the sofa.

Nah-h, that job's up for grabs and I ain't the messianic type so you can be the one if you want. That person would have to be the embodiment of all that is Lumptonian (and so naturally would never have to get off the sofa). That person would have to shoulder the responsibility of not being (responsible). I imagine it would be a pretty good gig and just imagine the wealth of prestige and power it would bring one! We certainly could use a messiah to look up to, from wherever we're laying.

Anyway, there's a lot of other stuff that needs to be done if we're going to be a self-determined people. Coral says we need a flag and I suppose we oughta' have some sort of bill of rights and a constitutional draft if anybody(s) feels up to it. Frankly, I'm amazed we got as far as we did on our anthem (The Scar-Mangled Banter).

Oh, don't beat yourself up too bad. After all, it was only the French.

Ahh-h! It seems that you've discovered another wonderful branch on the lumpatonic tree...one with little pupating Lumatonians hangin' on it.

> How's that? Let's switch from Lumping to Pupating, since when we emerge from our crysalis' we'll be lovely butterflies?

I like the idea of pupating also. I'm gonna' try to keep that thought, except I got a feelin when my AD kicks in a couple of weeks from now, I'm going to emerge from my crysalis, leave our beloved motherland Lumptonia and fly north to neighboring Hypomania. Unfortunately, if that happens, I ain't gonna be no butterfly.

Dear B,

Since you know the terrain of both Lumptonia and Hypomania, I nominate you as our ambassador. Just think, you only have to work half the time. LOL

The Lumptonia tree has a few branches; pupating, metamorphosizing, hibernating, statis, budding. Certainly there must be more.

My nomination for our national food is chocolate.

What are nominations for our national animal? Oppossum? Chamelion? Three-toed sloth? Zebra?

Dear Racer,

You've defined the one of the major characteristics of Lumptonians . . . "I roll up in a quilt with only my nose and a little of my eyes showing!" I do exactly the same thing!

You know, we could have the Lumptonian Olympics - events might include "Couching", "Coccooning". Of course, all entries would be submitted by videotape (we don't have to leave the couch to compete). Maybe Ambassador B could get some judges from Hypomania but getting them to sit still long enough to view the tapes might be a problem.

There's just so much to do . . . planning, organizing, contacting, mailing lists, prizes, uhh... maybe tomorrow.

Right now, I'm in training for Cuddling

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-hahhh! My dream job considering my only real duties in Hypomania will be to insure that the Bipolar gene pool flourishes.

Well, I'm both honored and near speechless (which may be a first) and so on behalf of myself, I suppose I will accept the nomination, as long as it doesn't involve gettin' off the couch, takin' a shower, getting dressed or other similarly impossible feats.

(and I thought I'd never amount to anything)

Of course, I could never bear the burden of this office alone. I will need an Executive Assistant; one to whom the Lumptonian way is as second nature as say...nappin'.

Therefore, as my first official function as Ambassador of Lumptonia I would like to nominate you, Coral to be my Ambassadorial Assistant. I could sing the praises all day long how you and your husband found this land and first discovered Lumpism, but that is story for the ages. So if you are interested in the position and it's ok with your hubby (and won't interfere with your other duties, such as chocolate-eating), I hope you will accept.

The mysteries of it all. I've never been more proud. Indeed, ours is a society made of richly woven fabric. (I'm trying to think of stuff to say that sounds ambassadorial)

I'd say that's pretty much a hands-down winner there. I second the nomination. Excellent work!

> What are nominations for our national animal? Oppossum? Chamelion? Three-toed sloth? Zebra?

...and our national bird? Albatross? Ostrich? Crow? Bat? We need some input and brainstormin' here. Maybe my Subsyndromal Epilepsy will fire up!?

Well, at least I know how to wrap the crysalis! (My SO gets so hot at night that he sleeps with no covers. The quilts I make for the bed have no batting on his side. He comes in to the bedroom, finds me swaddled up with the quilt, and can't believe I'm not like a furnace. I think there's something about depression and the urge to bake or poach oneself.)

Well, for the official bird, how about penguins? They're slow, can't be bothered to fly, never seem to be in a hurry (unless you count fairy penguins, in Oz, where Linus Torvalds was attacked by one), and are always appropriately dressed?

Bats, by the way, are not birds. And they don't really turn into Hungarian men in long capes with red linings, either. I looked it up.

I also will not answer my phone or the door, and instead hope that people will think I am not home. I will only check my mail every other day. I will eat over the sink, except for chocolate which I will hide away in secret and safe places, and take out and enjoy as a forbidden pleasure. That may be our currency, eh?

I hope that I can live up to these standards. The Tortoise has always been my hero.

Dear Mr. Ambassador,

::::drum roll:::: imaginery, of course (who'd have the energy to actually play the drums?

Shar has requested admittance and has brought with her our Pledge of Allegiance! (Something we now won't have to worry about doing!!!)

Pesky Racer has been showing signs of independent thought. But, she DID ignore the voices that told her to save France and did describe the first major identifier of a Lumptonian by so aptly describing the proper couch position. She does have some unusual theories, such as bats not becoming men in long capes with fangs. I mean . . . really! How DOES she explain the sleeping in perfectly designed containers during the sunlight hours???

Emmanuela is one we're going to have to watch, sleepy-eyed, very carefully. She MAY be a spy of the French. In a recently intercepted message, I detected actual french words, beyond the acceptable French Fry. I could tell you what the foreign words meant if I could remember my French classes or could be bothered to look them up in my foreign dictionary but . . . well.... the dictionary is all the way upstairs.

All this work has exhausted me. I will convey your positive words to "my man" when he comes into the room . . . undoubtedly, he'll make an appearance for some televised sporting event, roust me from the couch to find the remote control.

That's all the news I have from the horizontal viewpoint. Can't I appoint someone as Official News Correspondent?

...more food for thought. Ours is a land of diverse culture, opinion and preference. Perhaps we need a way to accommodate this variety. ...a way to steward the cherished values of all Lumtonians...a way to embrace cute stuff like sloths, penguins and butterflies. (notice how ambassadors always manage to weasel out of any sort of commitment or decision-making and throw it off on other people)

Dear Racer, you need no green card. The arms of all Lumptonia are open to you. You may travel as you wish and reside on the sofa of your choice.

Perhaps self-poaching is normal part of the pupating process; one assisting your metamorphasis. I've noticed most of the time, the covers also feel good. I find them easy to adjust for my comfort. It is one of rare luxuries of Lumpism.

The penguin is an excellent choice particularly given the freedom and expressiveness of our society which is in so many ways similar to that of the Open Source community.

> Bats, by the way, are not birds.

Yes!! But do bats know that? I think not, nor would I want to tell them lest they fall to their deaths on the cave floor.

> And they don't really turn into Hungarian men in long capes with red linings, either. I looked it up.

Yes again!! However, I have on occasion turned into a bat! I do not wear a cape however, but rather a quilt. I have a real nice one for formal occasions with matching silk underwear and socks.

Racer, have you given more thought to accepting the Messiah position? The Ambassador thinks you would be excellent for the role (notice how everything's excellent)...as a pupating little butterfly your a beautiful symbol of our emerging nation.

Don't like chocolate? No bother. Potatoes are our second national food, best eaten on the couch, of course. Further alternatives? Anything instant or eaten straight out of the can. Or on paper plates, of course, because dish washing is severely restricted.

We don't need a pledge with a salute, just swear on your sacred pillow that you will bring honor to the legacy of the lump.

One test of loyalty and patriotism is the telephone ring endurance test: how many rings can you withstand without so much as a flinch of muscle, blink of eye, or peeking out from under your afghan cave?

Another good test? Are the shades up or down? Do you have the obligatory shrine in the bedroom? You know, the mound of dirty laundry?

Of course! What an excellent suggestion that Racer be our Messiah!!!

She may also have hit upon our flag . . . the quilt-clad crysallis emerging into the beautiful butterfly!!!

Self-poaching is indeed part of the pupating process, for me, anyway. Wearing our national uniform of Lumptonia, sweats of course, I wrap up in a fake-fur throw, normally with a feline nuzzling close. Canines are equally welcome (as Shar said, petly support!!) And, the sacred pillow - all so necessary for proper pupating.

Potatoes, too, comprise the proper pupating diet, with chocolate as desired.

We shall find strength in our diversity!!!!

Take comfort (and a comforter) Sister. There will be times when our toes slip out from under our covers. There will be times when someone JUST KEEPS TRYING TO CALL. We may even find ourselves horribly assaulted by cheerful conversation or the turning on of a bright light occasionally. Shudder the thought, but one of us may even run out of chocolate and Brie one day and find ourselves with no one around to go get us more.
