She says she has more ambient findability than she wants and I am welcome to all I can use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My name is Santa. Not “Santa”…Actual Santa. And I am writing to you because I am in very hot waters with the wife, the bank, and the fan base. AKA Nantoka said you are a very creative person whose mind, once wrapped around my troubles, would likely find a solution where I can envision none whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, here are the hot waters I am in: I &lt;em&gt;sort of&lt;/em&gt; took out a teeny tiny home equity loan on the North Pole lair. And it &lt;em&gt;sort of &lt;/em&gt;blew up into a gigantic mess, thanks to inflation and property taxes and the rugrats wanting more stuff every year. Anyway, I am very afraid that once word gets out about how hopeless the situation has become with this blasted loan, Santa is going to be out of a home, a gig, a wife, a fan base and a positive reputation. And that is putting it mildly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Name Not Given”, if you can think of any way at all to help me I would appreciate it very much, even if it is an opportunity for me to wash dishes in your cafeteria or to hawk your arts factory products at crafts fairs. Please, “Name Not Given”, give me a chance and you will not be sorry. I promise to reach a reasonable weight and to stop acting as a mouthpiece for colonial values. I will give all my un-repossessed items of value to your favorite charitable cause. And I can even coach you if you want to play Father Kitty Christmas at the Ayuwa’sifest Christmas pageant! (AKA Nantoka told me she heard a rumor that Pet Welfare Fest organizers consider you to be the #1 choice for this role.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours very truly and hopefully,&lt;br /&gt;Santa Claus&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11383799-4092913257646912144?l=nantokasan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nantokasan.blogspot.com/2009/09/waiting-for-satanpart-2.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (AKA Nantoka)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383799.post-4764263939713221525</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Dec 2008 17:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-02T09:50:40.358-08:00</atom:updated><title></title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LNXzAzL5xOc/STV1RVtbCbI/AAAAAAAAAI0/cNEg7c2gD90/s1600-h/roberta-blackgoat.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LNXzAzL5xOc/STV1RVtbCbI/AAAAAAAAAI0/cNEg7c2gD90/s320/roberta-blackgoat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275251479280290226" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://blackmesais.org/"&gt;blackmesais.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11383799-4764263939713221525?l=nantokasan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nantokasan.blogspot.com/2008/12/blackmesais.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (AKA Nantoka)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LNXzAzL5xOc/STV1RVtbCbI/AAAAAAAAAI0/cNEg7c2gD90/s72-c/roberta-blackgoat.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383799.post-8757296490028702502</guid><pubDate>Sun, 30 Nov 2008 17:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-30T09:32:56.631-08:00</atom:updated><title>Symposium article from ameinfo.com</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.ameinfo.com/51332.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Link&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11383799-8757296490028702502?l=nantokasan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nantokasan.blogspot.com/2008/11/symposium-article-from-ameinfocom.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (AKA Nantoka)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383799.post-8958185292415496891</guid><pubDate>Thu, 27 Nov 2008 10:58:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-27T03:56:05.513-08:00</atom:updated><title>Happy 11-27-08</title><description>hello everyone, I hope you are having a beautiful day so far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today will be a busy day for me, and not just because I am helping the renowned Secret Chef M.

Emergency library design support has been requested for the Coldwater Spring site and I am working to bring infrastructure there ASAP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please help pray for all those affected by events in the land of Smoky Waters, and the realms that surround it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Namaste&lt;br /&gt;Suzy&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11383799-277246762427251639?l=nantokasan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nantokasan.blogspot.com/2008/09/hi-everyone-image-above-was-taken-from.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (AKA Nantoka)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LNXzAzL5xOc/SMAUf2sEXQI/AAAAAAAAAGc/wwMfu9AQ2d8/s72-c/protesters1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383799.post-4413260805870971990</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-04T07:17:01.364-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>rnc protests</category><title>- --...-- -</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LNXzAzL5xOc/SL6sZL7gWsI/AAAAAAAAAGU/3F8hTeIIIjY/s1600-h/thumb-ks-beating1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LNXzAzL5xOc/SL6sZL7gWsI/AAAAAAAAAGU/3F8hTeIIIjY/s320/thumb-ks-beating1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241816565004917442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hi everyone&lt;br /&gt;this is a picture of a 17-year-old who was brutally kicked and beaten by cops while peacefully trying to leave an RNC protest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the &lt;a href="http://www.minnesotaindependent.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Minnesota Independent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has details on this and other police brutality taking place in the Twin Cities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;please help pray for Keith, his family, and  for the sanity of all those who choose to participate in the censorship of events like this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;namaste, God bless. -Suzy&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11383799-4413260805870971990?l=nantokasan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nantokasan.blogspot.com/2008/09/blog-post_03.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (AKA Nantoka)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LNXzAzL5xOc/SL6sZL7gWsI/AAAAAAAAAGU/3F8hTeIIIjY/s72-c/thumb-ks-beating1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383799.post-291543173860815195</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Sep 2008 13:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-02T06:45:07.919-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>FBI snitch</category><title>FBI snitch articles</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94117338"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;link 1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=94129293"&gt;link 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11383799-291543173860815195?l=nantokasan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nantokasan.blogspot.com/2008/09/fbi-snitch-articles.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (AKA Nantoka)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383799.post-7254241880642885180</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Sep 2008 10:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-02T04:42:46.761-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>rnc protests</category><title>Calling all prayer leaders &amp; aspiring shamans</title><description>Aloha folks&lt;br /&gt;Here are some articles about the violence and repression happening in Minnesota&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/9/1/141945/1803"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Police state on display in Minneapolis&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nwprogressive.org/weblog/2008/09/police-brutality-at-republican-national.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Police brutality at National Republican Convention is out of control&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that none of you will feel too discouraged or anxious by these stories.

&lt;em&gt;too&lt;/em&gt; tough&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;please remember, if you can, all our brothers and sisters in need of your compassion today. like the folks who were not able to flee the Gulf to stay out of the path of Gustav. or the folks who are going to find out today that they are not getting invited to the Crying Helicopters wedding of the century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes, that's right folks, the cat is partially out of the bag. a huge Crying Helicopters wedding is going to be happening very very soon. if you have not already heard the news about this event, please be advised that it is bound to be an utterly amazing affair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as you may or not know, the folks who are hosting this event are mega-wealthy in terms of what it takes to throw a proper wedding. so expect a massive guest list, with much flexibility in the inviting of extra guests. if you think you might be invited to this event, NOW is the time to start thinking about what outfits you are going to wear, what snacks and pals you are going to bring, and how you are going to contribute to the Monster Dowry that is being amassed as we speak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now the sheer sumptuousness and size of this wedding makes it all the more important to treat the Definitely Un-Invited with a modicum of sympathy, while being mega-cautious not to wind up accidently allowing some delusional low-down coward and/or resource snarfer to infiltrate this incredibly important Shouseki family affair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;if you know someone who may wind up on the Un-Invited list, please be as kind as you can to them while the list drifts into public posession. please note that this does not mean holding their hand and so forth while they cry, since this can transmit Infiltrator Cooties. instead, educate the Un-Invited One in a caring, low-key way about the importance of not doing things like accepting money from the Federal Government of the United States to muddy a Nation's vision for a functional, harmonious, art-filled world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;folks who persist in doing things like this will be ultra-sad when they find out how they are going to get configured in the wedding entertainment. so, for the good of your dear one, please carefully clue them in about how they can get back ON the path of righteousness, and OFF the path that leads to a starring role in one of Aunti Nantoka's moderately hilarious fairy tales about crows, hobos, and everything in between.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See you at the wedding!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much

it in her mind that she was going to do her farmstead proud through a clever swap between her family and some outsiders. "Anna" was extremely young, and she believed that this deal would greatly benefit her family's takoja.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many tears of rage and sadness fell in the wake of the deal that "Anna" finally brokered between her family and the outsiders.

Staengl's important meeting tomorrow, so here it is: Crying Helicopters stock has split YET AGAIN, what on the face of Pele-sama are we shareholders going to do with all of this surplus wealth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Auntie Nantoka proposes an intriguing solution: Why do we not simply stuff all the profits inside of a Jumbo Mortgage? This Jumbo Mortgage will look good with all our other collective credentials, and who knows...having a Jumbo Mortgage JUST MIGHT be enough of a humor source to bring certain space aliens into realms they were due to visit LONG, long ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are looking to help secure a Jumbo Mortgage for the Shouseki Family Library (which is looking forward to the birth of some very special babies SOON) please note that they carry a $3 million price tag. If you have half that in Yen already, stick around...you might just win yourself half a library the easy way. If you have one-millionth of that amount in United States dollars, stick around, also. You too could win a free library.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I am going to tell you a very pretty truth about the realm known as Katuah to some, and a literal heaven to others, and a profit source to those who choose to frame themselves within the special Hell that is Anti-Katuah Sentiment. (Please note that I am not judging you at all if you are now, or have been guilty at any time, of spreading Anti-Katuah Sentiment around.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many highly practical truths and aesthetic treasures have been buried by this ugly glop, but luckily lots of special books have been put together to guide folks through the sometimes confusing process of understanding sacred realms versus raping them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now before I can begin telling this tale I need someone smart to count up how many pennies we have earned for our Jumbo Mortgage. Then I need another smart someone to find out how many Yen our Jumbo Mortgage is worth when our tale begins, and then the second smart someone should give us a figure which gives both the time elapsed since the beginning of the tale, and the velocity with which the United States dollar devalues itself against the Yen. If two little Someones could provide me with this math, or some art which illustrates the concepts described above, LOTS and LOTS of Ninja School Certificates will be dispensed this Autumn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so our tale begins...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mu-Kaaaaaaaa-shi Mukashi, way back in the day of one Forever ago, il y'avait une toute petite Nantoka qui s'appelait Antrolana-sama. Et kono Antrolan-sama wa ne. Ma ne. Yasashii hito desu yo. Yasashii ke do, every hito does have their breaking point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now this Antrolana-sama lived in the Umi, when Katuah was covered with one. Human visitors to this still-sacred realm can find rocks that are made out of the bodies of Antrolana-sama's ancestral neighbors in the Umi that used to cover Katuah. (An ocean still covers this realm, of course, but the ocean back then was one of actual water, and not just ikigai.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shellfish, sponges, and many other life forms shared Antrolana-sama's ancestral neighborhood in the sea. Then the seas of water receded, and the Antrolana people sought out the shelter they could and adapted to cooler, less salty conditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along this timeline something called a Human came to share space with the Antrolana tribe in Katuah. I have no real way of relating the Antrolana People's take on this development but I believe the most polite among them could not resist getting a dig in about our squalid and somewhat sordid hygenic conditions. And who could fail to blame them in this critique? A quick glance at locally available Antrolana Lira recovery plans will yield plenty of proof of the Human tribe's careless disregard for the Antrolana Lira people's dependence on water which has not yet been sh*t-enriched.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now some of you out there may be saying, what the Eff Auntie Nantoka.

I came shopping for happy stories because I do not want to think about how very swiftly the sh*t is going down, as they say, so please avoid that theme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now here is the beautiful twist on the sh*t theme, friend: the tale&lt;em&gt; is&lt;/em&gt; a pretty one because the year is 2008, a year when numerous signs and texts point to an extremely beautiful Now in which the the sh*t STOPS going down for a change, and starts going straight into a specially designed fan which will enable "Crying Helicopters" brand competitors to envision a more creative use for the resources it appropriates from sacred households.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surrender the math and I will not only give you more tales of this aesthetic and highly practical marketing vehicle, I will tell you myself how to drive the sucker straight into an Alliens concert, or to the Spring at Ayuwa'si, or to a Thanksgiving 2.0 meal at the Earthsong kitchen, without harming a soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Namaste&lt;br /&gt;Nantoka&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---...---&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11383799-7782088458743075833?l=nantokasan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nantokasan.blogspot.com/2008/08/win-yen-friendly-mortgage-for-pennies.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (AKA Nantoka)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LNXzAzL5xOc/SKAma5anyTI/AAAAAAAAAFs/XBFQI4qCqeY/s72-c/001b_august_10_2008.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383799.post-8341261385966584192</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 Aug 2008 17:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-09T10:21:04.540-07:00</atom:updated><title>happy 8-9-08</title><description>hi everyone,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hope you are having a lovely day today. the Greenhouse boardshop just opened a new location in the Big Lick today, and festivities are in progress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in other business news, yesterday marked a major victory for the Crying Helicopters brand. if you have not yet purchased any Crying Helicopters stock you may wish to do so today, as it is hardly too late to get in on the fun &amp;amp; profitability associated with this ultra-prestigious marketing vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;namaste&lt;br /&gt;Suzy&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11383799-8341261385966584192?l=nantokasan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nantokasan.blogspot.com/2008/08/happy-8-9-08.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (AKA Nantoka)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11383799.post-8414350698447073488</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 Aug 2008 20:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-05T14:02:01.139-07:00</atom:updated><title>- --...-- -</title><description>hi everyone&lt;br /&gt;it is a lovely day here, hope yours is going well&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just tried a new hobo recipe to celebrate berry season: canned milk smoothie. sometimes my hobo recipes are very tasty but when I tried this one I ALMOST BARFED.
