This year, for the first time, I want some reciprocity. As I was shopping for gifts, I was also thinking what I want from certain Enron people. So this is what you can do to make my Christmas extra merry.
Gary Mulgrew. I want him to call me – from Scotland – and recite the poem “Daddy” by Sylvia Plath. It is very important that he actually be in Scotland. It is not enough that he is Scottish, he must be located in Scotland when this happens. Furthermore, I have a very complicated relationship with the Scottish accent. I barely understand it and yet it drives me crazy! Have you seen A Fish Called Wanda? Remember how Wanda went crazy at the sound of Russian? That is how I feel about the Scottish accent. I chose that poem because it is my favorite poem, though not particularly suited to a masculine reading it, nor a Scottish accent. I think that can only increase my enjoyment of it. After writing this out, I am starting to wonder if perhaps I too am difficult to shop for.
Rex Shelby. I would like some of your patience and stamina. You fought the DOJ for eight years. I figure you have stamina to spare.
Giles Darby, I ask that you force Twiggy to return to England.
And last but not least, I want a joint gift from Jeff Skilling, Ken Rice and Kevin Hannon. I want them to remake this video, and I’d like Eminem to replace T. Pain.
I give so much and ask for so little.
In all seriousness, my best present is that I get to write about something I care so much about. I hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukah!
Cara, love the blog; thanks for doing it.
This is much better than my list, on my blogs read it and get back to me, if you have time… I hope J C’s birthday AKA Christmas is a great day for you and yours.
Merry christimas, Cara. And you too Observer2000. And every one In the world.
