Erroneously published memorandum.

 

The separate parts will each be locked inside their own containers. For my part, I will abide by the formal agreement. If anything is to be jettisoned, we will see to it that not subtle inclinations will be subordinated to the welfare of a precious few. If remains our intention to participate without reservation even while we hold ourselves aloof from any further questioning by regional authorities. As walking on pre-ordained lines becomes ever trickier, the depiction of forbidden items in confiscated materials is a topic of renewed speculation but shipping studs still occupy our vandalized hotel study groups. The ignited flashpoint turned out to be the last moment when any spread of eviscerated conquests could reasonably be expected to put an end to slapdash entertainment options offered to youthful offenders by the communal decoy.

If I hold the final load of wanderers in my tropical compound, my expectation is that I will be told to 'ratchet down' the feelings which typify our langorous elite. Normally they would send a short note my way and I would make do with the kind of work-around which has sped us past checkpoints in bygone days. I approach my solemn duties with a grace and a cussed flatulence once unheard of during my former years of 'palace intrigue'. If I could ask you for one small favor, what would it be? It is all of our interests to give a day or two to come up with an answer that you would be proud of. However, since my terminal diagnosis, it's in the interests of all 'bad actors' that you submit what you can, in writing if needs be, and we can all place our hopes in the transparent sovietization of our people on the inside. What gives?

The book.

 

So, you may be wondering, gee, can I order this? Sorry amigo; no can do. Printed a certain number, gave some of 'em to friends, who ironically enough, would NEVER, of their own accord, look at this blog.

What's in the book?  Fifty-five of your favorite pieces along with interspersing Gallery pages with new images not in my other two art books (can't order those either, sorry) on 203 lush artbook paper pages.

If anyone indicates such in the comments, I'll post some pics of inside pages, not that I'm expecting that, of course,... but still...

Trend Allocation Cynex.

 

It is not to be treated like a trend approved by persons who fail to get either 'in' or 'out' of the way. Their sediments will settle as they always have, like tried and true particles to be flicked away at some distance from any old over-producing bog. Instead you will see a third one, then a fourth. I will be near you to hold one of your hands while the other one is shifted away from the visibility of those who prevail in our section. This gives us a voluntary movement pro-cast, because in this version you will play one of our tuckered out Sales Associates. I will pretend to watch you urinate underneath an out-of-date wallhanging and challenge you into facing a grove full of partially occluded Futility Slamps. It may not go easy from there, because any of the clods who link to my activities page are already up in arms about our party on the 14th. You should say you'll be there or there could be some 'unexplained' anterior moisture to vex an already stressed claque. Yes, they've never had it up to here like this during a day in the not-so-recent past. Could you blame them?

This is what passes for a 'title'.

 

The least stillpointed person in our bargainroom rises to the floor, scopes the lots and walks nonchalantly by a trio of bugpearsos whose only role is to scare up a buck or two for ongoing muscle expenses. He sometimes expresses himself with a gimcrack sense of an absconding paramour of the same old school which he is given to whine about in a peculiar register, known to many who traverse our byways into your average salten lot. I note the stiffness of his gait and decide to trigger a remote procedure to set off a lion's share of active measures. The Bell in my web is best for mantling all prior sudden desks, but even with one too many ordered moments, we like to think of ourselves as up to a task formerly under the purview of the most narrow range of cotton-throated bed-sprayers. I need to keep them close to me in a crisis. They never disappoint. Likely story!

Does anyone in this specific location shift their prerogatives to hedge against the time when foreign elements are engaged in savage contests to cover an iron-domed hitler in a minimal sackcloth dashiki? You'd have a better time remembering the first occasion that I brought you into a side room and compared your appearance to that of one of our finest living sculptors. He was known in our field for his contributions to the common criminal. Before he laid down for the last time, I saw him enter a facility in search of a perishable glass part. In the years just after the War, he noticed that a dark-haired ingenue would repeatedly attempt to worm her way into the good graces of a Dissolved Bishop of an Extraparectual Cathedral.

These things tend not to wind up on some 'cutting room floor'. Far from it, in fact. They normally cause people of tedious hormonal frequencies to check the underlined passages without which the rest of us would go virtually dark. In the mind of your average scofflaw, anything I can see, someone else would have serious trouble pretending not to hide without malice. Which is why we are praying for rain in all 'the wrong places'. You catch my drift. I have seen her lab-folmented feet alter intentions one too many times for this tired blood product. We are descended from a subtle ancestry of Ivoirian budget weavers. They have bequeathed to our blighted lot the brigand's sense of lurching ovoid juices. Come equipped with a foil hankie or risk a tonal pulbation of jejune rattlement. Please keep all of us in a cool, dry Prince's foyer. We will soak up any additional charges and bank them into a punctured twit. You're only sold once. Or so some of us have been told on Nana's knee. You're kidding!

A Portrait of Aging with Grace.

 

There is an older person, sometimes known as a winsome exemplar of false comradery, who showed up, even though we'd been cooped up for what seemed like minutes, to lead us through the second-to-last scene. If you're wondering, you can probably find it on page 35 or 36. If you are one of the few who still has access to the older, more fructified, version, it may be hard to find at all. That's because before any older version was destroyed, it was made to appear that any nearly stolen artifact would be folded in one fell swoop inside a single verb.

At length the older person was observed to cough three times in a timorous whimple, signaling for the guards to search our outer things, without so much as asking permission from the Training Associate on site. She had it coming anyway. It's why we pretended to laught while dying. Of boredom, that is. So when the older person removed a piece of revolving paper from inside its special place, guaranteed to appeal mainly to people dedicated to gradualism in all things, it seemed surprising only in a doomed retrospect. Why I say this is for the same reason that I've been lying to myself from the first sign. If some find this hard to believe, their personal cleanliness will come under serious question.

So, as we move into position for the last time, I can taste my reluctance like a bitter product in the pit of my throat. And even though no one is likely to notice, the older person, with an abundance of caution, relives a scene from a youth dedicated to the installation of ecliptic bitelines into a flagrant minority of timorous wingnuts. It's just the way things have started to roll, out of our control, beneath our contempt and always, already, settled.  We've known the older person to be loquacious, but never like this. I have to admit that we've usually been reluctant to commit to participating in a 'secret plot'. If any of us had known that an invasive insect would be released into a novel environment at the conclusion, it would have struck us as a bit odd. That's because the weather had failed to become inclement, despite all forecasts to the contrary.

When I held my pinking tool inside a purity box for the required thirty-one seconds, I got the shock of my life. It seems that unknown to either me, my sister or our grandmother, all the wires had been removed, rendering the mechanism ineffective, if not appropriately dangerous. I'm now skipping down the last half of page 41. If you find when looking at it that there's a small (about 1 cm) defect near the lower right corner, you'll need to submit a blood sample within thirty-six minutes or there's a good chance that someone may die or possibly face a major inconvenience. Action is our only priority, results be damned.

A dish, a dream and a dearly deft drip.

 

Zobar jams his elbow right in the center of the dish. The dish is mounted securely to the fourth inner wall so it's in no danger of breaking. It's a ceremonial dish and was discovered in Italy during the inter-War period by someone who knew Zobar's estranged governess. She had a long-term agreement with the family about an apartment over the garage. After the fire, as she pawed her way through the ashes of what remained of her life, she recalled a dream in which Zobar, dressed as a scarecrow, had a vision of how people would live in the distant future. It was a miracle they could still breathe because life was lived almost entirely under the waters of Lake Michigan. The Indian immigrants who opened news stands on the shore during the Summer vacation had a reason to be worried. They could see it coming from a thousand miles aways. So they decided not to make that mistake again. It would cost them dearly if they failed to make the required adustment. It served them right.

In the end no one was fooled. Not Zobar, not his governess, not even some of the kids in town who raked leaves for pocket change. It appeared even they lacked the room to make a quick turn-around. So they just proceeded as if nothing was wrong. And you know what? Nothing was. Wrong, that is. As long as you looked at it with one eye half-closed. What you'd do is, you'd start your line from a point that was a fair piece away. As you moved closer you'd get shorter by the second, until within a day or so only your squirming would arouse suspicion among the disgraced ballplayers who liked to lounge around under trees that always seemed to be looming. This could get someone injured, or even killed God forbid. Why hasn't anyone told you this yet?

It was when the governess first pretended to be addicted to invisible pills that she and her boyfriend, a hanging 'chad' named Miles Whitcomb, decided to break into Alderwave Veterinary Studios Inc. to look for a key to a stolen ivory box. The box was said to contain the remnants of a photocopy of a newspaper article which could prove moderately embarrassing, especially where the deployment of strategic miscalculation is concerned. At the time some said this sounded like the 'perfect plan'. How wrong they were, though. Because this so-called 'boyfriend' character was soon revealed to lack any kind of innate delicacy. He made all the kids pay him a dollar to swim in the lake even though he was known to be allergic to water. And when the Holiday Season rolled around the next year everyone could clearly see that his wig was made of plastic hair. Someone should really do something. No one is sure exactly what as far as I know. Please stay well. Get plenty of rest. Make of it something to lurk for . . ....

The Cream of the Cop.

 

Had I been presented with a simple wall-hanging and expectations had not grown so uncontrollably through recent iterations of each task-ready bomber's portraiture haspiration, then we all agree that the naysayers who looped about willfully would be all but through in our Southern Forest. Their olfactory senses had declined over the months of squalid appearances by our (by now) second Vice Counsel in as many months. The original notions had not yet suffered the random falling pattern that we would come to expect in each of the seven partitions. I was feeling not a little mulish even though my disk was out for everyone to launch remarks at, but, try as we might, any patently bold retrieval buntum could seem to take the place of gold in our sky of white.

The cream of each cop is spread liberally within the inner brain so as to avoid idle prattling at dinners engaged just outside the perimeter of an unused bridge. What triumphs we could sink our collective teeth into were scaled to contain a breathless monad at Streak Level 4. The wind gives us a clue. It peals like leftover skeem, but our happ just gives them a further embankment on the plug side. Perhaps you've seen to it that an unstained tooth begets a null point when persons in a line least expect it. Therein lurks our supreme advantage: vaporized salt and the tenderest, most approachably nonchalant wind-surfing contestant will endow us with solid skills on the outside. The chance that you will grip your ticket to a faded hall undergoing rancid stage action is one hill I refuse to die on.

In the farthest collection of leaking desk feeblitures our morbid obsession with qualified string-wickets throws a new light on Telluride, Wisconsin traffic fatality stats. Don't say that we asked you to withdraw to a rumpled window cleaner's fabric of dread. If you do, we can promise to throw more than a few bones in the direction that you've consistently failed to cease forgetting. A bit of attractiveness could help prevent poverty within walking distance of my shed. That is where you will find balance. And I will forever live in your debt. Time is short.

A Lesson in Neighborliness.

 

A neighbor who has offered to defend our family homestead from the depredations of random bands of rootless pre-pubescent cosmopolitans who, for the time being at least, seem to sweep through our area on a nightly basis, has manifested these weird episodes of manic screaming and furniture breakage to the point where I don't feel I can any longer trust him to perform as the 'vigilant citizen' I once thought him to be. With the exception of a dinner that our kids expropriated from a homeless veteran of the Maltese War, there hasn't been much to complain about lately. Barring an outbreak of terminal memetic aphasia, I don't know when I've been so undone by my wife's struggle to malign a corpulent bugbear or two with whom I've developed a sleep strategy second to none in our known vistas of fantasy prone Communists.

The tramp who's been making a temporary shelter in one of our outbuildings in exchange for pruning the wisterias, has taken a bold stand and refused all offers of hypoconvulsive spectro-therapy to the point where one has to wonder who and what and where's the pine-scented blob around here? For my part, the tidings of evening trickerie and overflowing emotional support ducats have been a boon to my tooth enamel replacement hysteria and a certain despondency has set in among the support staff that seems to rain on parades not yet plotted to honor desecrated holiday-makers the world over. Over and above all that, the  painting on our outflow has reached a tippering bunt that I can't quite tell myself wasn't planned long ago, before our kids' tutors started to sulk. They'll be getting theirs; you can count on it.

And in case anyone in the Capro Support Monstrosity is starting to get their tootsies in a bind about my or anyone's capacity to inveigle a snapshot of prim potency readings from the odd-numbered docket Community School 7, they should rest easy, pop a few pins and settle in for a relaxing evening of prime time television viewing. I predict that in the coming years the study of the Flemish language and its literature will take root and grow like wildfire among today's young adults. I've seen this coming for a long time. You just can't stop this sort of thing once it gets started. People get a 'certain something' in their blood and woe to he (or she) who tries to extract it, whether through strong-arm tactics or gentle persuasion. Or even tickling. That's just how it goes. I'll say it one more time: We're all grown-ups here. This is slipping (not).

____________________________

We now know who is involved.

 

They taught me how, but not when, to lie. The training was received with a smile not to be noticed by whatever uncomfortable adversary might move into the foreground and admit defeat in today's playground. The love and dignity, as having given our words a stem-frothing aspect, can (and will) no longer hold the wan target aloft, an occasion of plyable toy-wisdom particle fraud. A measure which is always of a unique ratio, is sure to batter in principled duos with the gently rising craft of one so belivid as meets the grace of tofts. The tradnastitive amalgam of trufe, replete inside olleyways abade the wainscotting, is sure to hold dramastic plauditures when easing a measure of cave-like operating injectives, but the wife of our minch-haus, flagrant and taudney, one could not help stressing, the hairline breaching above all whose nose is a shallow victim's paleface perch.

We are given to a wand's purr as the crapid effluvia is seen to dictate each flange's polymerized ovectic ransom. But the trime to a wolferd, adknowledged and fissured to a scrim of fare-thee-won'ts, is draining the pate of frofulent chimps as only Nelson can. But 'why?' is a count we fold, the drippage to pace Onan's wickery puffed stochastic floor. If ever the delay seen in fields should be felt as the disaster it isn't, then my martial plague, attenuated in frisky allotments, will hold a pin to the nape of infamy! A chersh! And feribault trash palates acleft the furbles! We train our own reducers and pick out jaunts with emaciated pleasers, the nub of all solemn ploughshares. Delighted we mask, but a sorry induction of our leaky wigstumps turns the entire village into a stable offering of intrepid histamine scamps.

You have eaten our papers. But our hope is for your filial accretion of a fine marbelized dust. The pelucrid vinitor abvolves crime to a light of weaves. And grow as it must, our dupe is foursquare operational as a blunted mood stems the tribe. The nose you crave is only ever our daily marketing plod, or so one vicious, winsome lad likes to pretend while home is approached with a keening holyferd nightgram of truth. A bezel or three will get you one. Our farmers approve of your likely liminal basking hut. But a brain? That's just too fucking hot!

Line Management Schema.

 

There is a placement of lines in our local atmosphere that I'd say I was starting to get used to if not for a persistent oily rash inside my second forehead. It's not only the ratio of light to shading, but for the sound-threading itself, especially when it seems to swirl, that my very mentation assumes the status of a negligently perforated wig pattern.

But the disadvantages of making any kind of definitive statement at a time like this is that no one would think it wise to tell me where it could end, or even if a person in my position could be likely to recover a practical reason to maintain a paltry modicum of hardheaded, yet modern, religious affiliation. If all goes as it has been alleged to have been planned, by this time tomorrow I'll be ensconced in seat 32B on Amtrak's Kalthorn Moverm, with Jake and Kathy by my side, a portion of dainty comestibles at the ready and a reliably engrossing selection of reading matter to take my mind off the predicament I can't seem to shake rid of.

It's my name and I'm entitled to it, is all I ever said. Now that the 'professional people' are so involved, it'll be a 'day at the beach' if I can ever see my way straight again to stare a false God in the mouth and smile without leaning into a torpid, if sultry, breeze. It's because of the trim that was applied to my standing field that I find this stigmatized atmosphere so impressive. A wave of fealty has been shown to engage folks like me in a grimy, indigent spree of wisdom theft at distance.

The program begins when we are shown to our personalized crates. Even when the likely announcement is made that everything we need will be placed neatly within, a rising sense of incompletion will hold center stage at each non-professional tournament I'm forced to attend. Despite what some of the younger readers may choose to believe, when I was a kid this wasn't how things generally went. For starters, each suspiciously telltale line would be followed to its very end. Try that today and see where that gets you! You won't be disappointed, I'm sure! But even now, with the ever rising ring of phagistry overwhelming this very continent, there is still hope that a fear of waitlessness will usher in a New Era of Sun in Our Brain. It won't be soon enough. Have a good lunch. Please stop it.

This is NOT about 'burning hand syndrome'.

 

She has reported a steadily burning hand at or above a suspicious notch adjacent to the three-sided wall. Yes, an excuse is always available, but we are also aware of her tendency to pad results in expectation of candied, yet removable, dollops deposited on her exposed slip. I make of her what I will, but that doesn't stop feeble-minded service personnel from drawing their own conclusions, no matter how frenzied. Everyone has noticed a transition being called forth, yet no one is powerless to stop it. They  wouldn't want to anyway. If anyone asks about my assistant, they will be fed a story about him desiring to spend more time with his family. He has no family, just many genetic enemies. And, they play for keeps. I see no reason why they should not also receive an invitation to our Summer Event. When one of them is observed slipping silently into a position of superlative compromise, it will be our cue to link arms in a futile gesture of invasive solidarity. Ho-hum.

Has a person assuming your position of autonomous deception ever been known to look askance at the endurance statistics of underserved gantry clods whenever they see fit to form gigantic, if no longer visible, circles in a less-than-praiseworthy manner? We just don't think it's a coincidence that a known individual in hyper-colonial dress would go so  far as to think twice when making a abrupt about-face, thereby leaving one of his most precious hebephrenics in the dust to scrounge for scrumptious comestibles in spades. And this doesn't begin to account for a 'certain someone's' lazy eye when a person of dubious girth begins to water her garden with all the grace of a viciously tattooed leprechaun of some distinction. It just goes to show you, me and everyone else besides, what can be accomplished with even a modicum of grit and bile in all the right places. I stood her up in the corner, and now she wants to eat my brains. Go figure.

A standardized account of quotidian fading is all that's on offer from our less-than-sanguine Junior Petty Officer [JPO] Martin Dulmquif. It seems he prefers to just lump in everything under one and the same roof and see what transpires. I will go to my grave incomparably mystified by his indomitable odor profile. It's the kind of thing which undulates through all our personal petrie dishes, to the point where only an executive of a major non-profit has any business attempting egress in the late afternoon hours, if that. I have it on good authority that only the barest link in the chain of causation would be enough to forge an air-tight esplanade when one or more endogenous miscreants decide to get a very furry ball rolling for good. From the looks of it, you yourself may have been spotted wolfing down our latest tranche of contested petting results. If so, that would be a permanent black mark against your name in the precincts of barely adapted kehoes. If it would help, you can be added to our list. Please let my girl know. And no, she won't bite. (She will bite.)

Andover Silk Recluse!

 

I was promenading through a grown person's demi-detached compound, sporting my favorite Woxperth Chemise, when I happened to notice an arrangement unfolding on a nearby ridge, just out of view from the prominent party of four on whose behalf these details were enriched in the first place. In the second place, one should try very hard to utilize a fully equipped facility, if for no other reason than the person might risk being spoken to, of, within or behind, without first seeking a firm grounding in fundamental truths. I find, though, that this bothers me less than I was warned might be the case. Their smallest son happens to have sought my care after I made it known that I was well regarded in the Christian Community of Tobasco Village, Ohio.

That was when I threw all my final blanking shifts into a lazy pile to gauge the reaction of a hedge fund director to whom I'd given my word to never speak of his wife without her explicit written permission. It came about when she insisted on needling me about my semi-luxuriant coiffure and insisted on confusing me one too many times with a backfielder from weeks ago in spite of the fact that my age and height didn't quite fit the facts of the case. I once knew a landowner who I'd seen walking in a neighbor's scraggly yard. He'd put up the seed money to have my son arrested for aggravated depravity and had seen to it that I'd never walk alone inside my private quarters again. We insisted on drifting through space without ever having given a thought to commonsense precautions. This includes wires, stoppers, padding and strong points. You could say that we thought (mistakenly) that we were still young. It's possible that you might consider saying something else as well. It's your call 

If any one of us had given thought to the possibility, I, for one, was never made aware of it, much to my ongoing detriment. They'll press you length-wise into a gradual compartment and still expect to you to scrounge your way to the very beginning without anyone offering so much as a 'Hang tough, Mister!'. And only those who are blind to the psychological whiplash inherent in pending seizure operations could think to stop offering people in my ring an iota of pressure release when things come to a sterling position. They'll ask you for a cigarette (even though you've never smoked), look you straight in the eye and pronounce you fit for a wonderful exchange. This could take some getting used to. If, however, we've attached ourselves to a master agreement, any built-in passions will release us with a drum and a roll. The tilt of my jib will communicate a mildness which never expects even a wan recusal. This can't be like anyone else's emolument claw. It lacks the chartered signature of 'Lady Luck'. Now you know we'll give you a caring gesture featuring the tiniest hint of perfidy. Please know also that you are welcome anytime, as long as she arrives first. It helps to string some of the items along a wall. Flurmp.

Does this lead where she thinks it leads?

 

All of whom are wailing, the silent lapse. On down behind Kenneth's shelf, the fortraiture, when dissolved, amounts to a cunning reversal. Owners of a scope will withhold a dreaded mouth of bridges. But one who, alone atrembling the boove, becalms Gecanthi's olmercraft as a tall stunting page, gets herself one. Now that we think about it, our hearts creak asunder. The patient's starry boner is photographed in the needless pomp of allegiance in crisis. The sullen push-back that we've seen recorded in your now lost diagram, will entice any random Leotard to scrimp and pause even as it rolls to a stop in a filagreed lintel's tragic Pharmakon. It grips as it wheedles and snips to an authenticated gasp. By stealing a page from the troubling foam, our largest ally seeks to grant a one-day reprieve to a tolerably honest whyfor.

But jutting through all of it, with a pale high-toned ode to ceilings of bewelprin, a jangled miracle tree will be seen to fear invasion through a time-space kit of startled olgery. Just as it always floats our boat in a bonnet of atrophied warning silk, the saving of three misplaced particles could yield the way to a vision of astounding penises. They may fold in the face of banter but any sacrificial check on the noontime bailiwick approaches the hallmark status which justifies its very spatial penwipe. It's how we erase the grids. With apologies to the peace of our likely urge to flip, a collection of rare insects is enough to ensure our attendance at an occasion of middling congestance. In this case, only you will be awarded a coveted Mental Health Certificate. We're sorry if the zone specified is incorrect; it's all we could do to betray our betters' notion of an adherence to standard specifications.

Like the four others who pretend to find your genetic forebears listed in a book of lists, I stake my hat on your ability to score a flint weasel inside your treasured highlight reel. We will donate carpets to valiant hustlers and our brow is expected to knit one fatal pink iota into the task of decisions. This could get all of us somewhere, if only you would pay a third party to risk attending. The brink is 'shovel ready'. And our lanky bunkmate is appropriately abashed. Why do you never wash the alcove with a river of astonished pudding?

Proper Steriche Protocol.

 

When the Steriche is given an arpent, you'll find, if and when you attempt to 'touch it up', with the sides of your fingers (NOT including your thumbs), that certain parts will give way, even as a wicked firmness begins to envelope the tailings of a process. It should be 

added that surveys have found that one in five instances will include a coldness, which , seemingly, has no place, except for when a roughness is highlighted in a weakened striation. Now you'll want to be sure to think of the one suitable word which will have the effect of encouraging a temperamental bonding when likely smaller wishes could lead to desirable national encounters. When you are given even the most ponderous of suggestions, please run with it for all you're worth. They won't play easily by the latter rounds, if at all.

If we take you to the front of a collection  of seasoned opportunists, it's only for the good we sense is lurking, even if optimal seating is reserved for overly prideful revanchists. Some of us have had good luck outlining a feverish rehearsal in light of a prospective appearance by those who stand to lose a fair piece if any or our bowls are sold in time for the Biennial Fiction. It features Hyman Stewart and Rory Wilpenburg. They will be manning a task force which will allow us to careen through a deptive tourist map without any question coming undone but for a lack of nicks in time. This won't, or shouldn't, matter, what with every third scouting prospect anointed with a healthy balm of crushed, cylinderized wood and undermodulated calcified sparrow felbers. You'll see when we arrive together at a lunch not far from the way you used to feign darkness in a breaking pattern. Does anyone think they have one yet? It won't hurt if you do.

Now when the Steriche is mounted, the waxy paper tabs can be counted upon to yield to any psycho-social resistance which hasn't yet been detected by our capable monitors. This is the occasion when each of your surviving parents will be brought in for a run-through and our dream of testable plangents will reach its epictomy and all liars will retire to a de-fabulized hazing room. Then we'll ask the rest of you if and whether any plaintiffs were observed congregating at a time and place of our choosing, thus to behold a tolerance schedule for wood in a looming sheet. You'll notice that one of our three faces has taken on the aspect of an angular motion-sickness triad. This should cause no alarm, unless, of course, you've elected to hold back any essential details from our recording person. She is reputed to be prone to bolus seizures during instances of this color. Any spare rods you may hide in your car might help with this. We are sure that hearts are, even now, warming to see your progress in our fifth generation social engine. Can we begin?

Only one moment before, even as I felt just a bit 'iffy', I motioned to the logician who had accompanied me that day, before any brigands were caught, branded and left to be fed with the others who we'd previously ignored, much to our collective peril. There's a dampness on the underneath part which could fool you, but only if you think that 'care' is something that comes in a package which arrives at a random interval, come what may. May I send you my leftover final minutes or has a breech been discovered while I overlooked our common enterprise at the direction of the chosen few? It won't get in the way as it used to because, quite frankly, we've been inspecting any type of container which melds to a species-specific ontology of lift-and-release. And that's not saying something that others would feel framed their tatters to an indigent disk. My pleasure.

When Third Father pronounced an underappreciated policy prescription to be forever null in a crappy void, I sometimes hear a vibrant bromide being splashed before a Rector whose deposit we've neglected to squirrel away from the various Archdeaconesses who fling my precious towels into a raging inferno of antique Barbara Larson Portable Stanchons. These were my final gift to a couple who managed to always appear shaken, even while they appealed to a bonded set of irregular particles it's been their pleasure to dissolve nightly at one. The very same gate that you've supplied to our chewdren is due for a much needed overhaul for the princely sum of one hundred dollars and ninety-nine cents. Some might aver that all who seek our bunting are due for a doubly pugilistic con-fab. It hurts when I say it like that, no?

Our intentions were never based on an unheralded potency; to be sure not even a wicked gimp would dare call the shots if anyone else had mottled quietly without our applause juicing the way. Forewarnings will not betoken a rise of incalculable penetrations of graduated base-line portents. We cannot refuse to NOT cast them into a shade of passive nuclear fistulence. Our love is a bracing caspinet, but no one will find that written anywhere but on that place of definitive ospints. Their one and only task is to ready our trap-force to incite the lucid creepers in their number to befall a standing waylay juncture before applying the final pressure mask to my indentured Slovak. They are all with us now. But this does not include any rapt fendrick trolls. It's time for your pill.

A Time of Testing.

This long delayed Water Celebration, for in truth it was only coming to us due to the effects of one increasingly absent circumstance, would now be upon us in full force if only because the other lacks could not be focussed upon. But, try as we may--and we did!--all the formerly youngest Officers, having erected the very thing which we've come, with no justification whatsoever, to fear inordinately, are now quite literally exploring an opening which hasn't even appeared yet. By dots, which obscure insatiable lines, we stroke their wires for meager rhinds, the plastic revolvers of which go some ways to helping us to become aware, as nonces must make do as the nomenclature of choice. Where will they get our voundas to stretch? In substitution for which we will delay our third time for the peace of children in situations.

But the goad to a final reversal is only and ever a prim and deciduous sound. Resembling a cough crossed with the negation of a twig, some of the older ones hear it just prior to retiring. I myself, while accompanying my elderly daughter to a clinic appointment, was quite convinced that the latter half of our assemblage was giving testimony in this format. Eighty-one birds were counted on three successive days near the Third Hole. My Commandant evinced a series of increasingly nervous urinations. Near a movie theater, under an abandoned truck, or even inside a revolving enemy structure. The price to be paid, not in blood this time, but--you guessed it!--'qualification tickets', absorbed through the skin the way any well behaved moppet should. But sink ye in foreblocks? Not (just) saying...

In more granular times, they opine about the truth in shityards. Some others will bevel and squawk, even though the squarish jaw tromps all vantasias for the vain to revile our lerquids. But our own loam forms a coating upon which to inscribe any less than intolerable undertone and then exit the scene like a whipped icon of a cunning pith. Your own biprective inductions are coming into question, even as the documents foretell a measly babbling turret. A tradition of abuse at the melting point of titanium cannot provide cover for each of your pandistic bromads to lead the sequence of chills. For that we call on a succulent cat and its seven companion moles. Each is described in a separate paper. The paper in on file with our person. The person is assumed to be no longer alive. What living there once was is now thought to be an outmoded barbarity. And, if any of the remaining pirates could talk, this would not be their message. For that, any other party would have to turn in place and receive a junction near their upper head. If so, success is assured. Don't test us.
