Today is Fan Mail Friday #10

If you are not familiar with our "Fan Mail Friday #n" featurette, please familiarize yourself by reading this entry before proceeding, or you may discover that all of your jeans no longer fit.

This week's fan mail comes from Agleteer Roger, (The Supreme Aglet will not reveal the full identity of fan mail contributors unless specifically requested), in response to hearing (by way of imagination) my rendition of The Song of Crimino:

It would be nice if Crimino got 10 years. As best I can tell, he didn't do any time or certainly less than 12 months.

Sir, you speak as if Crimino is a real entity--as if he is some sort of analogy for some real individual involved in some sort of real occurrence in my own life, such as a disagreement over some sort of property triggered by the loss of an investment that itself possibly resulted from the influence of shady characters. Perhaps I should remind you that Crimino is nothing more than a character from a fairy tale, and that any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is unintentional and purely coincidental.

Besides, Crimino's case is on appeal, so even if he actually existed, he wouldn't yet have been sentenced assuming he loses the appeal.

On the other hand, if you are the sort who is given to believe in the existence of Alice in Wonderland or Peter Pan, I apologize if I have offended your sensibilities, and the world of the Supreme Aglet is once again in perfect balance.
