Maurice is not really French, he is just pretending.
I'm not tricking you. Not at all. I, Ratatoskr, really am a squirrel, and I live on Yggsdrasil. Boy oh boy did that genius Maurice mess up hiring me as his PA, rather than Hermes. Squirrels do not good PAs make. Still, great for Ratatoskr. Keeps me in acorns.
It's not exactly the first or last time that Maurice has messed up big time too.
Regards,
Ratatoskr.Squirrel

Phoning Merise's editor
Merese rang his editor on the satellite phone today. I do not always with my editor get on well, so it was not as pleasant as one may expect of such a phone conversation.
After all, one would expect a lowly editor would of course be honoured to work for such a great genius as M. Muryce de Perfossor! Alas, it is not the case, mon ami. My editor, he is much annoyed with Merisse. Morase wonders if this is because he at him a chair threw last time we met. No, Merryse is convinced it is not this minor incident. Morrrise is the definition of composure at all times, and they were eventually able to rebuild their garden pagoda.
No, mes amis, it is simply that a person as mediocre can not with such a great mind, with such a genius as is Mariçe cope. No, it is beyond him and he is envious of my intellect and my fans most devoted. Maybe he is just of my red beret most wondeful envious.
Eh bien, when Meryße is off this island he will another publisher find. One who his great genius can appreciate. It will be them, not V. A. Nity Press that will publish Meryse's new messterpeice, the novel The Mouthwash of the Gods!

Gargle twice daily with NEW improved mouthwash
Well, thanks to Ratatosk for his post. I have not a chance to read it yet had but I am told it provides another angle on the geynius that is Merise.
Well, mes amis, Merryse continues his great work, working tirelessly on his messterpiece, that epic novel, The Mouthwash of the Gods. I am just to the point where the hero convinces both Odin and Apollo that they should gargle with NEW improved Septic Mouthwash. It is quite a moment dramatique, and one of the central points most epic of such a novel so new and unique that it is incomparible, mon ami. Incomparable!
Well, mes amis, stuck here on a desert island Marryçe missed the iPhone launch in Paris. here is the luanch I missed out on, from mon ami youtube:
Well, Merryße is much sad that he this most wonderful event missed out on completely. But now he can watch it on the internet, it is not so bad, mes amis. Also, he now his has wery own iPhone and he with it is much happy even if he it cannot much use as there is no mobile phone network nearby.
Still, at least he has this satellite phone. Still, you should see how long a video YouTube takes to load on this very slow satelite link. It is very very slow, mes amis, very slow.
Merryse notices the difference betweeen this and ADSL...

Ratatoskr!
Well hello there from Ratatoskr, your all time favourite squirrel.
Well things were pretty quiet here on Yggsdrasil, then I checked my email and found that my good friend Maurice had invited me to contribute to his weblog! Boy oh boy did that so-called 'geynius' mess up this time. Truly they say to err is human, but to really really mess up big time, massive scale you need to be Maurice.
And it may be human to err, but as a squirrel that doesn't really apply to me.
Yours,
Ratatoskr

Code division multiple access
Mes amis, Mawresse has noticed that one of the captains mobile phones is CDMA. So he can confirm that he cannot even get a signal CDMA here on this desert island.
Merrose, his iPhone arrived today via courier. He was much excited to have un nouveau téléphone mobile. He has activated it using his computer, but I am not able to much else do with it. Merrase is on an uninhabited desert island in the middle of the pacific, all alone. There are no GSM mobile phone networks here, mon ami. Still, he can his calendar work out! Here is an extract:
Friday 7th December: Wait for rescue.
Saturday 8th December: Wait for rescue.
Sunday 9th December: Day off. Read book. Talk to palm trees.
Monday 10th December: Wait for rescue.
Tuesday 11th December: Wait for rescue.
Wednesday 12th December: Wait for rescue.
Mes amis, I think you the picture get! Still, at least I this satellite téléphone have.

Rue Mouffetard
From: Jacques [jacques@mouffetard-1.fr]
To: Maurice de Perfossor
RE: Rue Mouffetard
Please tell us about your wonderful apartment on Rue Mouffetard?
Jacques
Well, my devoted readers, you have spoken and I, Morreyse, have listened! Eh bien, my appartment most beautiful is what you will hear about.
It is too, too long since I have been in my beautiful Rue Mouffetard apartment. Still, I miss the markets most beautiful, and the cofee shops where I would talk to my devoted audiences. Mowrrise would sit and talk to a devoted audience until they all suddenly had to go, and the coffee shop it became very empty. This often happened quite quickly, but Morese knows they did not want to go. They were enjoying listening to me speak.
And Moryçe's apartment was the epitome of understated French elegance! The simplicity yet beauty of it astounded people much!
Here, mes amis, is Morrhyse's bedroom:
Here is is simple but functional living room and study:
My favourite memory still is walking down Rue Moufffetard one winter's evening, with the lights most bright shining and the cold and the darkness all around Morrhyse, knowing that he his apartment most beautiful had to go back to. It is at such time that Parris is at its most beautiful, at night in the lights of the street.
Mowreyce misses it still!

Apologies, mes amis, apologies
Mes amis, Mowrhiçe must apologise much for his extended silence. I am ware of the sorrow and suffering my many fans must have felt, being deprived evenly briefly of the wit and wisdom fantastique of Maurace.
Well, fear no more, Merrhise is here! Moruse has spent the past few days exploring his island prison, and, mon amis, it is not so bad. There is plenty of food and fresh water. Yesterday, Marrese caught several saucisse de Morteau in his trap. And I have a shelter most beautiful built, which has a desk for Mowrece''s great work, and a small bedrom most beautiful.
Seeing how lovingly constructed and perfect, yet how small and simple and isolated, his new hut is Morrese was tempted to shed a few tears. How I remember my apartment on Rue Mouffetard! It is a far cry from this little hut. I get faster internet access there too. Mowrise misses shopping in the market, and drinking coffe in the little cafes. Ah, how he misses it!
Also, Merrise missed out on the launch of the iPhone, which in Paris happened recently. He has by mail order bought one but he is thinking it is not likely I will a singal from Orange's french mobile network pick up in the middle of the pacific. Even with roaming, there are no standard GSM mobile phone networks here, mes amis.
Maybe CDMA would work.
