Oh, B, anyway. Sometimes I think I should just say everyone is allowed in Flusville, and then maybe no one would show up.

Oh, well, anyway, now that you're here, I might as well give you all the news from our little underground corner of the world.

It's been a rather strange week in Flusville, for a couple of reasons. First of all, Waffle and Martha

thought it would be a good idea to build an obstacle course and then have a competition to see who could

run the course the fastest. Obviously, I thought this was a terrible idea, but does anyone listen to me?

Everyone, including Sparky and Luther and Martha, and the whole gang of fizzies, wanted to play,

Dive to the bottom of the lake, pick up a bowling ball, throw the bowling ball at a birthday

cake, where the cake was supposed to come from, I have no idea.

Run to the ping pong table, win a game against Mr. Shnoos, hey, that's me, and I am an expert at ping pong, so good luck to everybody,

and then eat a ping pong ball. The other thing was to hop on one foot all the way to the warehouse,

then find a kazoo and play a marching band song for one entire uninterrupted hour.

As you probably guessed by now, Waffle did not finish the race.

He spent the whole day getting out of the lake and jumping back into aforementioned lake.

But he was true to his word.

When Luther won, Waffle gave him a million bucks. Unfortunately for Luther,
