Must respond breifly: human gone to do something called "feed the birds" because of a new plague of cold, heavy, white, wet stuff that has been falling from the sky all day. Tater must be asked not to continue sending this horrible substance here. Reguarding evil long-hosed sucky things: brave agent Schnitzel has discovered an effective way of neutralizing these instruments of hoard destruction. Taking her life in her hands, she has managed to immobilize two of these creatures by repeated puncturing of the hose with her teeth. Making daring midnight raids under the door of the closet where these monsters reside she has dealt a death blow to two separate hose creatures previously deemed by the human to be secure from FLO tactics by virtue of a locked door. LONG LIVE THE ORGANIZATION! Agent Schnitzel will be happy to demonstrate the procedure to any interested FLO agent. In fact, following the last successful raid, the human unexplainedly (and loudly) offered to aid the cause by providing agent Schnitzel with transportation ANYWHERE else. While the FLO has not been able to remove the sucking creature completely, the human has now taking to storing it in the nether regions of the house, from whence it is only rarely brought forth (accompanied by the most interesting vocalizations by the human as she lugs the heavy creature up the stairs). Hopefully this information will proove useful to the cause--if any other cell has information on how to combat the intrusion of the creatures broom and dustmop, please respond. Agents Schnitzel and T.G. have been working on this problem for some time, but have yet to find an acceptible solution. Sincerely, Senior Agent Schnitzel (8) Agent 2nd class Torus George [Posted in FML issue 1481]
