A typically modest AUSTRALIAN INTRODUCTION

Thanks for coming

the BIG relative in the sky is not available at the moment, I have been asked to say a few words on her/his behalf about THIS Book of WORDS.
Of course, yuz all know that God is what might be divined as the being who uses words the most. Yu've all heard of "The Word of God."
Words like Omnipresents. Thou shalt not!

Here we are, reporting to you via the internet from the KOSMIC BLISSPOT, the most IN restaurant of 1984.
We have with us this evening the Honourable Throb Stalk, who will raise his eyebrow, look charismatic, and open the book.

Are you
RIPT

- off?

-often?

-anyway?

How did God know to call them words? With a lessor creator, this might have been a book of teacups. Or Pudding.
. . . "Let us read from the first book of God's Pudding . . ." No way. Even it it was self sourcing. God was obviously on the ball when he called his Pudding THE WORD.
So although the Silly Symphony have been sorely tempted to use several other four letter names, they have accepted the wisdom in my modest suggestion and called it New Clear WORDS for the Coffee Table. This is a new book. Publish and be damned.
This is a new age, so I'm told. Every age is a new age, except The Age newspaper, which, although very nice, is the same all the time.
This is also a second edition. The first had about 400 copies with a 45 minute cassette tape. The first copy was sent to heaven, where they think it's one helluva book. Being fond of words, the Big Relo has severely castigated Noses for not releasing the Stone Tablets audiophonically, and wanted to know why his Sony's Walkaman or Walkawoman headphone sets were not used on that occasion.
So, take my advice. Don't be caught dead without a copy of WORDS.
Glad to help,

Pall Hagen
