C is for 2006

At long last, the year of 2006 will be reaching an end. Many philosophers and accountants have debated over whether the year actually ends on the second before or the second after midnight on December 31. The Letter C was able to catch an interview with many famous figures to get their opinion on 2006. In the spirit of celebration, this is the first time our crew did not have to pay for our interviews. With the money we saved from not chequebooking, we were able to purchase that penthouse apartment we've always wanted in Brisbane CBD. Other miscellaneous items we cashed on were a 2004 Rolls Royce and a refrigerator containing a year's supply of alcohol for 2007. C is a non-drinker, so we, being the nice imaginary co-workers that we are bought him Britney Spears' fairy floss-esque perfume. He has been trying it on himself for the last 30 minutes in the office bathroom, much to our horror.

We actually got to have a chat with 7 celebrities, but we will be only publishing the 2 which we felt were most satireworthy. The following are the musings of Galileo and Kool-aid Man on 2006.

Unfortunately, we were unable to retrieve our interview with Galileo "Galilea-e-i-o-u" Galilei, inventor of the Violin and the Pizza and wrote our own based on what we could remember from the original.

"Ah this year was epic for science and of course my favourite event of the year was the release of the Nintendo Wii. Head of Nintendo Italy, Epily Seiseur invited me over for many dinners and we talked about their new console. I was so excited about the science used in the Wii. Mr Seiseur had known me many years and we used to play Dr Mario against each other in our childhood. We were almost certain the console was to be named Nintendo Galileo after me because of the infra-red technology which I helped pioneer and popularize back in the 1670s. I very much hope that in 2007 they will release another console which will be named after me with a weird kind of controller, hopefully one that uses thermal science because I invented the thermometer."

Kool-aid Man did not say much during the interview, but became extremely excited when we asked, "Did sales go up this year?" Kool-aid Man began to bounce around and yell, "Ya, ya, ya!" and eventually tripped on his own new Persian rug. For legal reasons, we cannot disclose the details of what happened, but it vaguely reminded us of a glass jug dropping onto the ground.

With those two tearjerking reflections on 2006, we at The Letter C are also entering into our final preparations for the Y2K7 epidemic by stocking up on alcohol, pre-paid phone credit and glow sticks. We bid farewell to our readers forever and the year 2006 for a few weeks. C has wagered his PS3 that 2006 will come crawling back for him. Ha, ha, ha. Get real kiddo.
