In yesterday's newspaper, there appeared the following editorial:
These humickers now love luxury; they have bad manners,
contempt for authority; they allow disrespect for established
traditions and study fiction in place of figures. Students now
are free thinkers, not the willing receptacles of their teachers'
lessons. They no longer rise in uniform umble when elders voice an
opinion. They contradict our patrons, chatter before bureaucrats,
gobble up Earthclan concoctions at the table, cover their leg fur
with golf pants, and tyrannize Library users by asking "Why?"
----- Dol Hasah-roch, Hurmuphta Planetary Coordinator
Dol made no such statement.
Though our editorial staff cannot prove it as of yet, we do believe that
a certain short furry being of no fixed abode other than "Little Jijo--when
I feel like it" found a means to break into our computer system.
Measures are being taken to prevent any such future occurrence.
After a short conversation with "Alvin" Hph-wayuo, It should also
be pointed out that the aforementioned small being, in any case,
was not the full author of said quote, though it was modified to fit
what this being considers to be current conditions on Hurmuphta.
For our readers who do follow Earthclan literate, although the
original form of this quote has been attributed to Socrates by Plato,
the quotation was proven to be a spurious Twencen fabrication.
Readers may take note of this fact on any level of importance they
wish to choose for themselves.
We now consider this matter closed.
