Dear Abby,
I am in the middle of exam week and I think my brain has already liquified and dribbled out of my ears. How can I make the most of my study time without wanting to impale myself?
Sincerely,
Stressed.

Dear Abby,
I never feel like working anymore. I just watch the deadlines fly by. I'd rather be on Wordie. What can I do to keep my job?

Dear Stressed,
If you impale yourself on a pile of books, you may physically absorb some of the knowledge. And that's the best way of sneaking text books into the exam room. Brains are poorly regarded in Australia and you are just well to be shot of it. But I hoped you waved goodbye.
Abby.
P.S. I thank you for your letter and award you a complimentary sheep.

Dear Workless in Pennsylvania,
Get a job on Wordie. Then you can stay on Wordie and keep your employment. We all know that John makes thousands of dollars per week from this site. I'm sure he'll employ you because you made lots and lots of words and that's what Wordie sells. Even if John doesn't employ you, we can supply you with a pompous job title like Word Production & Manipulation Consultant, PA Division. That should at least make you feel like you have a job even though you don't.
Abby.
P.S. If you regularly see Flying Deadlines, your area may be subject to UFO activity. Please report to FBI.

Dear Abby,
I've over-committed myself to activities - none of which I consider even remotely fun or painless. Why do I do this to myself? Also, how can I shirk these responsibilities and still come out smelling like a rose?

Dear Just Plain Lazy,
If you want to smell like roses, or numerous other things, try this list. As you know, most problems in life can be solved by a good list.
As for shirking, I have a friend called John Shirk. I asked him last year about how to shirk responsibilities and he wasn't sure. I conclude that shirking is more difficult than it looks if even Shirk himself is clueless.
You mentioned you were having trouble with 'remotely fun' activities. You should stop worrying about remote fun. Fun should be immediate. After you have made a custard tart, throw it. You don't really need to dust it with cinnamon first.
Abby.
P.S. You can throw it at reesetee. That's what he's here for.

Dear Disgruntled Wordie,
Dear Abby is a bit like Santa Claus, you dig? So much to do.

P.S. I'm sending a box of gruntles. Take one a day until you feel better.

Ooh, gruntles! I want one too. Send it c/o Suspicious.
Because surely you can't be referring to moi as Disgruntled Wordie, can you?

Dear Suspicious,
A bilby is a small nocturnal marsupial made of chocolate. It eats puny weaklings like you for breakfast.

What is all this mumbo-jumbo & jibber-jabber? Instead of whining & blabbering on and on about your custard tarts, go out & find a list to attack. You'll feel much better, I guarantee it!

Dear Abby,
I asked the Easter Bilby for a bicycle, and he's promised to bring one. The problem? I think it will be made of chocolate. Don't get me wrong - chocolate is still better than carob - but I was hoping for something a little more, you know, durable.

Dear Abby,
Every year the cafeteria at work hosts a pretend version of a state fair. I've promised to make a butter sculpture, but I'm wondering whether there are any vegan-friendly alternatives I could use. Do you have any suggestions?

Dear Abby,
Some of my friends complain about the taste of cilantro, but I think it's okay. What I really can't stand is the taste of fenugreek. Is that normal?

Dear It's All Greek To Me,
Was it a fenugift? You really should beware of that shit.

P.S. Cilantro was a Spanish tennis player. Some talent, admittedly, but crap on grass. Funny that.

Dear Abby,
Is it wrong to try to spam the spammers? I used google translate to create a little survey for them in Polish about what brings them here and whether they've ever heard of confectio Damocritis as a weight-loss strategy. Is this cure worse than the disease? And what is confectio Damocritis anyway?

Dear ruzuzu,
Why leave unscathed those who abuse you?
Our noble avenger, let no one accuse you
Of dodging a fight.
So mightily smite,
And hammer the spammer, fierce ruzuzu!
