178 — Dear Star Registry...
Dear Registrars, Lovely exotic dancer, Ursula North, my “little dipper,” my “little bear,” is my unrequited love. I know she cares, even if she doesn't treat me like she does all those ogling men with their dollar bills. I need to impress her in an “astronomical” way. Imagine my presenting, instead of dollars or purchasing lap dances, an entire constellation deeded to her (in your registry, copyrighted with the Patent and Trademark Office!).
