PLEASE STANDBY FOR THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT. Hi, my name is Nikolai from Dancing With Elephants. Last week on the Dancing With Elephants Feedbag show for Episode 057, my Dad said that DWithE Episode 058 maybe a little late, coming out either Sunday or Monday evening. Well as you can probably surmise, this was not the case. You see, my brother, Caleb, and I were very, very bad this weekend. Believing that we live under what can best be described as totalitarian rule, we sought to bring our grievances before our oppressors, namely Mommy and Daddy. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, a heated debate ensued culminating in a statement put forth by both of them that, "Nightly visits to Chuck E. Cheese is not a guarantee under the Human Rights Doctrine put forth by the United Nations Charter." Faced with the fact that we were likely not to receive any gratification from our demands, we staged a mutiny. The battle was messy and for a while, we held the upper hand, until Caleb cracked under the pressure and thirst drove him to ask Mommy for a glass of chocolate milk. Met with dissension in our ranks, our cause became hopeless. Therefore, as an act of attrition I have take pen to paper and with heavy heart I explain to you, our valued listeners, the reason for the delay in the posting of DWithE Episode 058. My brother and I are truly sorry. I also ask that you rest easy in the knowledge that DWithE Episode 058 will come out on May 20, 2007 along with the names of the winners of the Let Them Hear You Contest. This will be followed later in the week by the Listener Feedbag Show for Episode 058. On the path that we walk in life, one is likely to encounter bumps in the road. It is my hope that this one didn't jostle you too much. I make this confession of my own free will and without duress or coercion being put on me. Viva la revolucion!
