Howye Fokes! How is things? Haven't been around fer a while. Ya see, I gots a job writen articals on drains and gargoyles and that sorta thing. Imagine me worken fer the Gutter Press - me Mammy is really proud.
 Listen, on a more seroius note, did ye know that Santy is short of teddies this year? Well, ye do now!
 
 After a tip off from Goldilocks didn't he orgenise a big huge raid on Slasher's - me local bar - ta round up all the teddies. I'll tell ya, the fight what enscewed was only terrable and ya can take it from Ted that that Rudolf fella won't be the only raindeer with a red nose this Christmas.
 
 Anyways, lookily most of us managed ta escape but me pal MadDogTed is still missen. So I thought with it been Christmas and all that I better give ye all a fear warnen.
 
 If MadDogTed ends up in yer Christmas stocken send him straight back ta Slashers Bar - IMMEDIATELY. He's a rear genwine Streiff bear and he's not very domistikated, ya see. Don't try ta hug him. Don't put a silly bow on him. Don't call him MadDogTed ta his face and whatever ya do - DON'T take him ta bed with ya. Not if ya have any shame, that is.
 
 Don't be fooled by his cute looks either (he's not half as cute as Ted, of course). Them  close-set eyes are a ded give away but if yer still in doubt check  his left ear fer  a button earing in the shape of a half eaten S. If yer still not sure, look fer the "Made in Haste" label on his back. And if yer a bit thick and still haven't copped on, check that ya still have all yer fingers and that yer wallet is still where ya left it.
 
 So ye have been warned - if ya get him from Santy send him back ta Slasher's with a few bottles of rum fer me troubles. I'll tell ye, me nerves are faught with the worry.
 
 A Happy Christmas ta ye now.
 
 Be seein ya
 
 GallantTed

Dear G-Ted,
 I think I've seen 'im.
 
 One of the stealth blondes who hangs her sorrows over the edge of the oak at my local pub came in with a newbie last night, and she was lookin a bit star-crossed. He fits the description ya gave, 'cept the the earring looked a bit chewed on (she's been known to do that sort of thing).
 
 He kept splittin up with her to drop a fiver into the cherry master, and after a few whacks he gave the face plate a punchin' that nearly facilitated it's own payout.
 
 He'd keep goin back to her like a junkie... gulping shots of Powers... turning on the charm... I don't see much in them close-set eyes (as you put it), but apparently she does. It won't be long before she's tapped out cause somthin tells me he ain't the marryin' kind.
 
 I'll check his label next time he's in... after I hide my wallet, that is.
 
 Thanks for the warning.
 
 Peace

Listen, I bet ye'll all be relieved ta learn that me frend MadDogTed has been located. It seems as if Santy off-loaded him on some little spacemen, who managed ta tame him a bit. Appartently, they're teachen him the art of Druidic Medicine. Imagine!Anyways, MDTed said that he wants ta come home and heel the world. He said he'd even do a slot on me Forem. Can't wait meself.
 
 So, ye can stop worryen now!
 
 Be seein ye

Well, G-Ted, if it's the Druidic medicine he's after learning, at least it will give him some sole toe go with his heeling.  I just hope that he's being taught by the Arch-druid, if he really wishes to establish himself on a sound footing.

Do you mean you don't know whether or not your Aunt is a druid?You could always give her a golden sickle and stand her near the mistletoe and see what happens.

 Sorry I haven't been round much lately but I do be often thinken of ye all hear and I want ta wish ye a fiercely happy Christmas alltagather.
 
 We're were all up fierce late last night, ye know. Ya see, with all the confusion and everythin what's been happenen, didn't we think that it was Christmas Eve and weren't we waiten up fer Santy - we wanted ta get him fer kidnappen MadDogTed last year.
 
 Well, there we was like a pile of proper ejjits brandishen our hurley sticks around the place, waiten and waiten when Albear Camoo suddenly copped that it was the wrong date. We're all ragen, I'll tell ya - specially MadDogTed, what stayed sober specially fer the occasion. We're all goen back on the booze now, so Santy got a fierce looky repreeve - but I'll tell ya, we'll get him fer sure next year.
 
 Be seein ya
 
 GallantTed
 
 PS - Santy if yer readen this I hope ya got our Christmas list. We've been fierce good bears all year..er..honest, like.

Dear Gallant Ted and JustPlain Ted, Hey! I heard from Maddog, sorta. You were right JustPlain, he's on the 20/20. Kinda fits. But hey, look at it this way, he's off the Ripple.    He told me he is currently studying the sub-culture of the downtrodden. Anyway he's invited me up to his crib to spin some discs on this new Hi-Fi that Santa brought. Naw, he's forgiven Santa, only hit him once. Maddog gets all lovey-dovey when he is mellow with good wine. I'm going to sing him a song...Button up your overcoat Find a nice warm bed.
 Take good care of yourself
 You're my favorite Ted.Merry Christmas
 to all the Ted's  of theWorld . Those of privilege  (like Maddog) And those who sleep in acardboard box .  Milum. |  |  |  |
