Oops


I'm fully aware that millions of you rely on COI as your daily humor stop. And who can blame you? Humor, insight, genius can be found here---on the comments page.

Those of you who visit COI for a bucketful of mirth, may want to skip today's post. For it is tragic.

Most of the FOIA papers I was to fill out and show you--the ones that would reveal the innermost depths of my soul--are no more.

While I was stuffying my belly with Jelly Beans, the aluminum foil lined room was warming up thanks to the some dozen space heaters I had left on. The short version of this tragic story is the room acted as an oven. I was gone, eating jelly beans for several hours and when I returned all my papers had turned brown and crinkly.
A first time observer would have guesed that this was the room of my estate where I housed all of my bacon and shrinky-dinks. To that person I would have to say, "Intruder! That room is in the West Wing! Now, leave before I call the police!" This may seem harsh, but I am a recluse and do not invite anyone on to my estate.

And then I would return to my Blogging Room (located in the N.E. wing) and try and figure out how I will explain this to my public and my government.

Have your manservant take care of it. Isn't that what he is for? I am sure they have some sort of cream or what-not to fix that sort of thing.

Thanks for your support. That's what I need right now, more than anything.

april: You will be pleased to know that on the They Might Be Giants Podcast (episode 3) there is a song or two devoted to Mr. T.

Listening to podcasts is how my manservant spends his day, rather than doing things like fixing messes.

A shame.
