The Oracle had a message for all avatars. "Hey, I built you a world and gave you homes, a perpetual bank account, and lots of good stuff. Look, when I say I'll see what I can do, check out what I've already done. Not a bad track record. Have some fun." He left The Rant Offices abrubtly saying 11

It was Filbert's opinion that "Great" was either the Oracle's shopping list: (G)reenwort (R)ootberry (E)delseed (A)rcherries (T)rocheese OR the Oracle meant great as in "Okay, great...bye". 12

FIRST HABITAT DIVORCEE --A TEARFUL BONNIE REVEALS ALL-- Bonnie, the first Habibride to be wed twice to the same mate, made history again by being Habitat's first divorcee. "I think our HabiMarriage was doomed from the first," Bonnie confided, "and the second wasn't an improvement." Her first Habiwedding to Dragonfish was one disaster after another. First, the bride suddenly fell prey to the epidemic of Cootie-itis that was sweeping the city. Abbot Greg P was unable to 19
BONNIE'S TEARFUL TALE attend and the ceremony was performed by self-proclaimed judge CLB, whom, it was later learned, was not empowered to perform HabiMarriages. The Maid of Honor and Best Man were also missing. At the end of the wedding, Dragonfish, the groom, announced that he didn't have time for a honeymoon and left the tearful bride waiting at the church. Several weeks later, the ceremony was repeated, this time with Abbot Greg, Maid of Honor and Best Man present. 20
BONNIE'S TEARFUL TALE At first, all seemed well, but again, the strangely reluctant groom avoided the HabiHoneymoon. Bonnie told The Rant and her attorneys, SkyLine and Chameleon, that she thought the HabiMarriage had been consummated before the first ceremony, but since things are so different in Habitat, she wasn't sure. She kept sobbing something unintelligible about "making soup broth". When last seen, the HabiDivorcee was strolling around with a new Avatar. 21

Letter to The Editor-----"Pocket Peeper" Dear Wrag Writer, I must object to the elusive "someone" who is constantly putting his/her business into MY pocket. How else would they KNOW I have mail? When I enter Habitat, I can tell for MYSELF that I have MAIL IN MY POCKET. I take offense to someone looking in MY pocket. Heaven knows that they may see something I don't WANT them to see! KEEP OUTTA MY POCKET! RJScott 45
Letter To The Editor-------From: RJScott "DIVOTS?" Dear Ed, I am in the process of counting all the turfs in Habitat. I have had a report of missing turfs, and I'm counting them all in order to ascertain how many we have and how many have disappeared. I will let you know of my findings after I have counted the disappeared ones. I am in the process of counting those that are still here. I expect it will be more difficult to count those that have disappeared because it still LOOKS like they're there. Regards, RJHouseCounter 47
