I'm with Carrol.  I'm off to NK next week for the World
Series of Ping Pong.  A week at the Pyongyang Crystal
Marriott.  Evening events include a concert by the
Red Youth Accordion Orchestra, Adventure Safari along
the 48th parallel (taunt the imperialists in their own
language!), Extreme Surfing, Submarine Cruise in SK
Waters, and dinner theater revival of the Manchurian
Candidate.  Doesn't get any better.

I hear the local joke is, "If we had Kim, we could
have Kim Chee, if we had Chee."

Then back home to 'Bronx' to plot national liberation
strategy w/Aunt Lily.  Key is control of morning
distribution of cheese danish rations.
