Some Subo fanatics are keen to put an offer in to buy Paul the psychic octopus.
It is well known that a number of them have very wealthy husbands and since the demise of the SuBoat they bought (see related story by Harold F. Quey), they feel they are, indeed, in need of Paul's psychic powers.
They have put in an offer for a house close to Susan, but luck doesn't seem to be going their way, despite numerous hours on their knees praying to their god.
Subo fanatics believe it is now time for more 'intervention' of the octopus kind and NOT heavenly kind. THAT does not appear to be going too well at present.
They say that they DO understand that God is hearing their prayers and that he WILL eventually answer, but it may not be the answer they WANT...Even IF it is the answer they want, it just may not come IN TIME.
Over the past year, many fanatics have spent a ridiculous amount of money, booking flights and hotel-rooms to follow Susan around the world, (this is known to normal people as 'stalking') only to find, to their dismay and the shrinkage of their wealthy husbands' bank accounts, that many of Susan's perfomances were cancelled.
Some people believe it was Susan's sense of humour kicking in. Saying she was going to be at such and such a place, on such and such a day, then saying,
"Oops! I canna make it afterall..(giggle, giggle, wiggle, wiggle) "... She's quite the character, is Susan Boyle and this writer wouldn't put it past her....
When asked how Paul the psychic octopus could help them, the Subo Red Scarf Brigade's leader, after draping an unwanted red plastic scarf around this reporter's shoulders, said,
"Well, Paul could save us a lot of money...but what is MORE important than that, he could save us all a lot of heartache and disappointment by predicting which venues Susan will actually BE at and those she will cancel.
We've prayed and prayed but I think everyone now, has MORE faith in the Paul the psychic octopus than in the Lord himself. May God forgive me."
Fanatics are hoping to meet with Paul's 'people' early next week. Meanwhile, they continue to play their only Susan Boyle CD over and over and over again....whilst awaiting the release of her 2nd, later this year.
A number of these fanatics have sent in videos of themselves singing 'Silent Night' in an effort to win the current competition being held...for a fan to sing with Susan.
The fact that none of them can sing, has not put them off.
"We just love Susan and SHE loves US. We just love Susan and SHE loves US. We love Susan and she loves US..." they could be heard chanting as they made their way to their SusanBus, painted RED, naturally.
