Your Aunt Barb's Personality List of 1999

n looking back at the year behind us, the most notable personality in the Neighborhood was Mabel Eggerton. Mabel spent most of 1999 insisting that the Pope and the Archbishop of Canterbury live in an old can of Sanka that she emptied out in 1982, but never got around to throwing away. This is the first time she has looked to see exactly what was in the can in about fifteen years, although why she never pitched it remains a mystery. I told her about ten years ago that, if she kept it much longer, it would be an antique and she could get a lot of money for it. Now she says that there's both a Pope and an Archbishop in there, and the damn can is blessed, so she can't throw it out. You're off your rocker, Mabel, but my hat is off in the proverbial to you anyway. Now come get your headless gnome off my goddamn lawn!
