COME ONE, COME ALL!
 
To the greatest event of all time!  A Global Entertainment Spectacular!
 
Join the FUN!
 
Greater than the first lighting of the lighthouse at Pharos!
 
More appalling than the destruction of the Sphinx's nose!
 
Worse for global warming than SUVs!
 
Incorporating wider straddles than were claimed for the colossus of
Rhodes!
 
Yes!  It is REAL!  The greatest Earth-circling race of all time!
 
The famed Oracle and the Ferret Charmer, and one ferret navigator each
(Names will be announced as the race is proceeding.) will compete to
circle the planet TEN TIMES over a space of three to five days on
pre-ordained, meandering routes designed to allow fans all over the
planet to watch as they speed overhead in methane driven hover wagons!
(Gas masks are advised.)
 
The amount of beans, kindly provided by Taco Bell and Kunners, permitted
for each contestant has been carefully calculated, but in case either
individual over-does fueling at any point, risking an Emilia type of
situation, rescue personnel have been strategically deployed around the
face of the Earth, and each hover wagon has been supplied with a GPS
transmitter (as well as a Lojack, a life raft, and free navigation advice
from AAA).
 
The competitors have spent this weekend inspecting their crafts and
providing surprise paint jobs and other decorations to help their fans
spot them as they pass overhead.
 
*** For the joy of all, viewers around the globe will be able to write
here on the FML of their sightings!  ***
 
Take off is scheduled for 3 a.m. EST U.S. from Long Island, heading
east, on Ferret Day, April 2nd.
 
Please, as they pass overhead, do not tempt these women with other foods
or with burpy soda pops which will cause oral depletion of precious gas.
 
Over and out.
