We recently challenged our Poet Laureate, Elder JimZim, to apply his talents to the word “cuboidal” (a reference to the shape of certain varieties of yak cheese). As a romantic versifier and belletrist, he delivered this thing of beauty: There once was an office worker named WillowShe toiled all day with her workers at ZillowThey […]
Yesterday, I plopped down on the official WLBOTT couch. On the TV was the Wimbledon Men’s Final. Recovering from the exhausting demands of my WLBOTT managerial duties, I had neither the will nor the energy to reach for the remote. But this led me to think: what sports would not be possible without modern material […]
WLBOTT Corporate HQ received the following email from Elder JimZim this afternoon: Challenge Accepted! We called an “All Hands On Deck[1]” to the WLBOTT staff of graphic artists. We fed them Elder JimZim’s verbatim email. [1] Mandatory unpaid overtime Some good results, but lacked a certain WLBOTT flair. Perch to the Rescue We’ve mentioned that […]
Today we’ll explore the adventures of Elder Seemoore. He recently had cataract surgery on his left eye, and will have the second surgery soon. Okay, the pirate thing (eye patch, parrot on shoulder, etc.) will get annoying pretty fast, so let’s just get it over with…. Ahoy, matey! Splice the mainbrace and cast yer good […]
Today, WLBOTT proudly celebrates Elder JimZim‘s platelet donations. We are proud of Elder JimZim‘s generous spirit, and the sacrifices he has made over the past year. There have been challenges. Although not technically disqualifying, the pre-screening process revealed a record-high blood methane count. And because of his unique diet, the team had to put in […]

There was a daily classical music program that I’d sometimes listen to, a refreshing window in an otherwise dark and empty […]
We’ve hired the consulting firm of Ergot & Pigweed, LLC to measure the impact of WLBOTT on our user community’s health and well being. A focus group suggested we start with princesses, across space, time, dimension, boarders, and legal jurisdictions. Here are our results:
LBOTT is visiting the Santa Bárbara Mission Archive-Library, located on the grounds of Old Mission Santa Barbara. But our WLBOTT tour group ran into a problem. We walked into this wonderful library, drinking our refreshing Slurpees and dressed in our Druid finest robes (except for Sister Magdalena, in her formal black habit), hoping to see […]
Why does life have to be so hard? I invited Sister Magdalena’s boss, Sister Contraria, to have lunch at the Ladle & Lube. I need to get on Sister Contraria’s good side; it seems she’s concerned about Sr. Magdalena spending so much time overseeing Fred’s penance (remember the whoopee cushion incident?) We ordered vegetarian spam […]
“The air has become soup, and the soup is angry.” Two days ago, the WLBOTT HQ experienced an extremely unpleasant weather situation. Note the “Feels Like” temp: This “Feels Like” Concept We need to extend this concept to other areas of life, not just the weather. For example, when your wife says, “Do you have […]
