Lab-RAT-ory IS A-HOPPIN!
Greetings, CRANKYHEADS:
Doctor Cranky is delighted to be here in the Lab-RAT-ory with more great news.
We are happy to announce that Lab-NOTEZ #4, the last issue of Vol. 1, has arrived from the printers and it is going out in today's mail to all SUBSCRIBERS.
We believe these are going to be collected and enjoyed for years to come.
Starting in 2014, the NEW Lab-NOTEZ (Vol 2.) will be released once a year (perhaps twice) in magazine/book form with a new subscription rate to be announced shortly. We will not be limited by the confines of space any longer, and you will get ten times the content value for your subscription cost.
We are constantly working on new goodies and treats here in the Lab-RAT-ory, including our 2014 "WHAT TIME IS IT?" CALENDAR and HOT-OFF-THE-PRESS INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PLASTICS, VOLUME 2, which is over 100 pages of amazing models built by some of the best builders the world over.
We are having a Fall Season Sale on all books. If you buy our three books: STYRENE STARS, IHOP 1 and IHOP 2, you will receive 10% OFF.
If you purchase your copy of the 2014 CALENDAR, we will throw in a few special treats including stickers and fridge magnets.
You can find these items and much more over at the Lab-RAT-ory STORE.
We thank you once again for your on-going support (without it we would not be able to continue!) and for helping us spread the word as we recruit more STYRENE ADDICTS the world over.
Happy Fall & Changing of the Weather.
Yours Truly,
Doctor Cranky
OH and EYEGORE says HELLO!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: STYRENE STARS & EYEGORE
CRANKYHEAD NATION! Are you READY? STYRENE STARS is HOT OFF THE PRESS. Order your copy today, don't delay, and it has just been reported that EYEGORE--depending on his mood and disposition--might add his special signature to a very few select copies. So YES, if you purchase a copy of STYRENE STARS, of course Doctor Cranky will personalize it and sign it for you, but the EXTRA TRULY SPECIAL TREAT is that EYEGORE will sign a few copies, just enough for it to be an ultra rare occasion and a legitimate collector's item.
You will be surprised then if you open your book find Doctor Cranky's sig. (a treat in itself, we don't want to offend our Good Doctor!) but you might get lucky and find EYEGORE's now-infamous RED PAW PRINT SIGNATURE! Good luck, and order soon, and order often. There are no limits on how many copies you can order. AHW-HOOGA!
LONG LIVE STYRENE!

THE MAYANS WERE WRONG!
THE FIRST TEN PEOPLE to order their Doctor Cranky's Lab-RAT-ory 2013 Calendar will get it at a deep, deep, deep discount ($10). Normal retail price will be $15.
This is going to be a real treat and the calendar will be unveiled next month in the YOUTUBE channel. Help support the Lab-RAT-ory and prove the MAYANS wrong. The world DID NOT come to an end, so celebrate the fact that there is plenty of time left to build all those models in your collection!
If you are interested in ordering a copy in advance, please contact Doctor Cranky or EYEGORE at the Lab-RAT-ory email address: vsuarez666@aol.com
Thank you. And don't be late.

NOVEMBER MORNING
Greetings, Crankyheads. Another year is almost shot, as my father would say. First Sunday in November and it's still hot here in Florida. I have stopped paying attention to time and to the weather. Yeah, right! It's impossible. When you least expected, here comes the time change, which I've never liked or found useful in any way shape or form. I think once you cross 50, time is really how you spend your day. Mine? I get up early, get some writing done, read for inspiration or simply sit out in the sun for a while, warm up and then hit the work shop for the day's work. Happy Daylight Savings time, says my wife. Arrgh!
I am preparing to attend the ACME/SOUTHERN NATIONALS for the first time. I am very excited indeed for I've always heard and known lots of great model builders gather there to exchange glimpses of their eye candy.
If you are going, please make sure you stop by and say hello. Unfortunately, EYEGORE will not be there this year.
Enjoy the time you've been given, enjoy the weather, enjoy your LIFE!
