In this one, however, > there's barely one. In Bizaro World, Bizaro Basia is the hardest working woman in Show Biz. She appears on Bizarro Politically incorrect, speaking perfect un-accented Bizarro English - and blows everyone else off the stage with her wit. She has a baby every year, has five husbands, cooks for the Bizaro Mounted Police, and teaches the sixth grade (Bizaro-World Geography). The Bizaro Japanese HATE her, BTW. So far, she has 243 albums to her credit, and is at work on 244: Bizaro Basia's Bach - and has penned her own lyrics for her favorite fugues. Also, she is almost ready to publish her translation into Bizaro Polish of Joseph Conrad's `Heart of Darkness (Lite)'. > > You find the damnest stuff in Billboard. > I bought the 100th anniversary issue, and scoured it for stats.

Well, not that it really compares, but along the same lines, I don't think anyone should forget the "Mysterious Voices of Bulgaria" women's choral group-- who if memory serves me correctly, also have produced more albums than our beloved Ms. Trztrzelewska, and in less time, too! ------------------------------ From: Jay Johnson Date: Fri, 27 Sep 1996 15:27:39 -1000 (HST) Subject: Re: Basia Pictures on Home Page.
