Pizzicato Star #17 is...Novelist Dana Killmeyer!

Dana Killmeyer writes books I like to read, and she is funny and sarcastic, sometimes at the same time. I'm joking, I'm joking lol! It's always at the same time!

If you are reading this, the Pizzicato Five WANTS YOU! It wants your answers to these questions. You can pick and choose what you answer and you can be as flip or as serious as you want to be. Just delete the questions you don't want to answer or type no comment or draw a picture there or something.

Then simply cut and paste the questionnaire into an email and make the subject heading either P5Q or Pizz Test or something that will let me know not to delete it and your gorge and brill answers will be printed here and on the Official Pizzicato Five Questionnaire site (imagine a TM in superscript here). The link's on the right side of this page. Email to IceStationPoetry@aol.com. Your words will never be edited and you will not be spammed or questioned on anything you wrote. I'm not your momma.

You don't have to harbor a desire to be famous to answer the questions. You can be anti-fame and still answer them. You can be an isolationist anteater and answer them. You can be a serial killer and answer them. (Warning: if the last is indeed the case, your answers will be forwarded to Langley, VA. Otherwise they won't be.)

I look forward to hearing from more Pizzicato stars.

And enjoy Dana's P5Q here! Dana, to gush in that oh-so-cloying Jerry Maguire Zellweger voice, "You had me at 'needy, creepy, lazy, beefy.'" That flows almost as beautifully as my other favorite adjectival quadrumvirate, "meaty, beaty, big and bouncy." That is clearly in reference to Hippity-Hops.

Anyone born after 1975: "What a Hippity-Hop?"
