Hello there....It's Winston the Impersonating Turtle!  Terry came down with the stomach flu after the show Saturday and has been in bed ever since.  I had a big party last night and he didn't even know about it. (If he ever comes out of his room and sees the mess, he'll know about it.  I would clean up a little, but I don't have thumbs.   Try washing a glass without using your thumb....BTW:  Why is there a "b" at the end of "thumb?"  That's just "dum.")  Anyway, I thought I'd use this opportunity to say hello to everybody and tell you a few things you might find interesting.

Terry is singing the National Anthem at the NASCAR race here in Las Vegas this Sunday.  Be sure to watch it on FOX-TV.  He's doing it by himself because we all got into an argument about who would do it so we decided to draw straws.  And Terry won!  Can you believe that?! But it's okay----The Turtle Ranch has a giant plasma screen and I'll get to see the whole thing.

We are having a "shell of a party" on March 13th at The Mirage to celebrate our One Year Anniversary.  One year down, 39 to go!  I can't believe it's been a year already.  I really like living in Vegas, but it is COLD all the time.   The Anniversary show is going to besomething to see.  We are going to introduce a new character (I call them "Puppet-Americans" because I'm PC)  that night and everybody is making a big deal out of it.  I have to be honest with you:  When I first heard about this I was not happy!  I like the show the way it is and don't think we should change anything.   And to make matters worse, everybody here in Fatorville can't talk about anything else but The New One....They're so excited.  Lots of new songs and new impressions and blah blah blah.  Who needs it?!  But then I met this individual and I have to be honest again:  I love it!!!  It is so unlike anything in the show.  Everybody's trying to keep it a secret, but that's just stupid.  I'll tell you what it is right now.  The new puppet is..........Crap!  Terry's up...........

Love, Winston
