APOLOGY TO BELOVED SUBSCRIBERS

The previous post should be on the other thing-called-a-blog

I imagine we're all a touch melancholic and not at-our-finest because of this recent news of the success of that, ahem, stunning "I Love Pancakes" video/song that seems to have knocked the planet (your planet I should emphasize) off its perennially cockeyed axis. Additionally, since early this month, nearly everyone at the Planetary Panopticon has been on vacation and it's only myself and a skeleton crew rattling about the empty Institute, along with this new intern fellow, Mr. Punch (who is a shade disturbing, especially in the morning when it's often just myself at my desk and him hrrr-hrrr-ing back and forth in the hallway, often popping his misshapen wooden head up from behind the transom and asking if I need a good rollicking whack in the noggin, which--being a kindly and positive sort--I assume means would I care for a cup of coffee?)

And I probably do need a good whack in the noggin. All this effort expended at creating and running this ornery thing-called-a-blog and all any of us really needed to do to get a little positive feedback from the "public" was create a tacky and derivative video about a favored junked food, and compose a rinky-dink ditty as accompaniment. Ach, well, I sigh.
