Today is Fan Mail Friday on Tuesday #4

Having extended our "Fan Mail Friday #n" featurette to Tuesday, The Supreme Aglet humbly submits this reaction to the continuing Ballio fairy tale from Agleteer Jim.

Dear Supreme Aglet:

There is one particular message, namely the "Fairy Tale," that I keep returning to, hoping to find an answer to a question that has plagued me: "Where have I heard that plot before?"

I find that Ballio's use of "Wonder Dust" to enhance his balls, seems somewhat familiar with my own experience.

I can remember, as a small child, seeing my father greet the doctor as he came into town on a horse-drawn buggy. This "doctor" sold bottles of elixir that would cure all sorts of ailments, as well as canisters of "Miracle Powder" that would soothe the body. My dad would buy a handful of these items.

I still have two of the canisters of powder in my possession, and find that a small amount of this dust applied after a shower can be quite soothing.

The only contraindications listed on the container is a possibility of dizziness, and a curling up of the toes for as long as four hours.

I have to admit that the only problem that I can associate with its use is that I have been pulled out of line at the airport terminal three times because of a weapon-sniffing dog.

Agleteer Jim, reading through your interesting account of obtaining this "Miracle Powder" causes me to wonder whether you are consuming a powder of a different kind. Nonetheless, I am encouraged that my ongoing fairy tale has some objective relevance in your life, which tells me that these may be more than fairy tales, which they are intended to be.

So Agleteer Jim, please continue to enjoy the soothing showers, but please refrain from sending any pictures of this activity, and the world of the Supreme Aglet is once again in perfect balance.
