I want a Komatsu for Christmas

Mr. Oaf starts with good intentions. He thinks he will get his Christmas shopping done a couple of months in advance, and then lay back and enjoy the festive season. Of course, that never happens. He finds himself wandering the heavily air-conditioned byways of shopping centres without a thought in his head. What would Mrs. Oaf like for Christmas? What of Boswell and his highly demanding taste for the finer things? What of Teddy, the bear who has everything? Or Nesbitt? He wants a Komatsu for Christmas and Teddy has sent Mr. Oaf to Market City to buy it. They don’t have large vehicles in K-Mart and the only thing that looked like it might appeal to the bears was a Bubble Gun, (a bright yellow plastic gun that comes with a special compartment for juice and when you pull the handle a little plastic loop spins around and bubbles come out). Then there’s Mr. Oaf Snr. and his “I have everything in the world in my basement and I don’t need anything else” attitude. It always ends up as either CDs, DVDs, or books. It’s bloody pathetic, is what it is, thinks Mr. Oaf who spent the last two months lolling about and pretending to work instead of the soon to become critical matter of buying people presents.

“This diary cracked me up, completely, perhaps the oddest diary I have ever read. I'm not sure if it's a takeoff on something or someone that I have somehow missed. Regardless, TEZNEZCO! chronicles the adventures of two bears and describe them as if they are a minority of some sort. The writing is disturbingly matter-of-fact as if it is perfectly normal to be writing about these bears as people. I like it; it's pleasantly novel" - Diaryreview
