Jackie Beat is Little Miss Know-It-All

Dear Precious Readers,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Can you believe it's already 2006? Seems like just yesterday we were all freaking out about Y2K, convinced that Satan would make all the world's computers rise up, sprout metal robot limbs, and walk through our city streets brutally killing everyone with shiny Samurai swords and handfuls of deadly anthrax tossed about like Rip Taylor's signature confetti. Now it's 2006 and we're still here! WORK! You'd think that we, the human race, could finally heave a collective sigh of relief, relax and just enjoy life. But as proven by the following letters, there are still lots of things to worry and fret over...

Dear Little Miss Know-It-All,

I am a healthy, good-looking young man with a great job, a great apartment, a great car, and a great boyfriend. Hell, I even have my own home cappuccino machine imported from Italy and one of those iJoy massage chairs! I should be happy, but I'm not. I know this sounds crazy, but I can't stop thinking about terrorists. Am I normal?

Signed,

Worried William in WeHo

Dear Worried,

If your name is William and you have a boyfriend, then no, you are definitely not normal -- you are gay. And gay is not normal, no matter how hard men like Elton John or Rosie O'Donnell try to convince us that it is. And besides, who wants to be normal? Normal equals boring. You know who's normal? That yawn-inducing news anchor with the stick up his butt, Stone Phillips; that snooze-fest of a social disease, Paris Hilton; and that creatively comatose "Painter of Light" Thomas Kinkade -- whose most innovative accomplishment is how he spells his last name as if it were a soft drink for S&M enthusiasts. They are all straight and they are all boring. Now about your fears of terrorism -- get over it. You are 100 percent safe because you live in Los Angeles, a city that no self-respecting terrorist gives a rat's ass about. What? You're still scared? Then you need to do what Big Tobacco does -- make something deadly seem like it's sexy. I suggest you ask your boyfriend to get a real dark Mystic tan, grow a big bushy mustache, put one of your fancy schmancy gay bath towels on his head like a turban and shout faux Middle Eastern gibberish while violently screwing you from behind. Next thing you know, the mere mention of terrorism will make your back door start a-twitchin' and now you're no longer afraid, you're horny as hell!


Dear Little Miss Know-It-All,

I keep hearing and reading about bird flu. What is it? Can I get it?

Signed,

Chicken in Chico

Dear Chicken,

Bird flu is an absolutely horrifying disease that slowly and painfully kills its victims by liquifying the brain and devouring the internal organs. Now, while you clean yourself up and change your underwear, let me also inform you that it is extremely difficult to get! Only those people who have had sex with IV drug-using fowl are at risk. And as if that wasn't rare enough, you must also have allowed the bird in question to insert his dirty duck dick into your nasal cavity after having consumed five or more servings of Pruno -- an alcoholic beverage made in prisons from fruit, ketchup, and sugar that tastes so bad it makes crappy ol' Alize seem downright yummy. OK, so you say you were indeed fucked in the nose by a heroin-shooting mallard blitzed on prison hooch? Before you freak out, was it on the last Thursday of the month? No? Then you're fine! So, as you can see, bird flu is almost impossible to catch. Unless, of course, you have a cell phone and/or live within a 15-mile radius of a KFC restaurant.
