WLBOTT corporate is a bit steamed today. It was just this very morning that we became aware of Buckets the Drummer. Why hasn’t this been brought to our attention sooner? Steamed WLBOTT Executives
To dispel any rumors that WLBOTT is a cult, I invited our esteemed members to write Praise and Worship limericks to extol my humility. So the day began as usual. At 4:30am the BLOTTers arose, practiced group yodeling, had a hearty breakfast of kale and coco puffs, a brisk 6 km jog in a foggy […]
