Look who's come out of his li'l ol' hidey hole:

*Lil' Kim's looking old and blobby. I think he's feeling down now that China's fed up with him. Does anyone know if it would cause a diplomatic incident to send a candygram to a dictator?

*He certainly does seem to be looking worse for wear.

Ha! That's a terrific idea! I'll ask my neighbour about it—he works in the Korea office of the State Department, so he'd know whether a candygram would be a violation of U.S. law or not.

;-)
