The Star Whackers Are Coming

This weekend I read about Randy Quaid's recent... uh, adventures in Canada, and I got a weird feeling in my stomach when I saw this note:

Apparently, Quaid and his wife fled to Canada to escape hit men who target Hollywood stars.

Many people think the Quaids are a few forks short a silverware drawer.

However, I would like to defend Mr. Quaid and his wife, because I happen to know the "Star Whackers" are real. In fact, I wrote an entire novel about them, and Mulholland Books just posted an excerpt from that novel, which I'm calling Fun and Games.

Stay strong, Quaids. Help is on the way.

I have a feeling that Randy's safe, as it appears that his "star" days are behind him. Dennis, on the other hand, may still be in danger from the "star whackers."

That's a very good point, John.

Where's the excerpt, Duane?

I searched Mulholland Books website and couldn't find it.

Thanks,
Troy

There's a link if you click on the words "excerpt of that novel" in the post above.

Ummmm, are the "Star Whackers" forbidden from travelling to Canada???

I've said over and over that fact is stranger than fiction. Obviously I don't know Mr. Quaid personally, but anything is possible. What better way to turn the media attention away from his story then making him look like he's insane? Just something to ponder.
