WLBOTT: Okay, G. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I belong to a group of highly eccentric individuals, called WLBOTT. WLBOTT stands for “World’s Largest Ball of Twine Tour.” We embrace absurdity and want to make the world a better place. Peace through twine. What do you think? G: That sounds fantastic, […]
WLBOTT has been invited to participate in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. We will be flying the WLBOTT flag as an independent nation-state. But first, some random musings on WLBOTT: I was a bit concerned that I sometimes break the 4th wall and address my visitors directly. Then I began to feel bad that I […]
UC#1-SU / MacGyver UC#1-SU / Details Wait…. someone’s actually reading my emails? Semi-Sequitur: Did We Get it Wrong? What if it really was Lady MacGyver, not Lady Godiva? SU#3 When I was around 14 years old, I was summoned on weekend morning at our house on [undisclosed location] by UC#4. A friend of his had […]
Dear Gentlepeople, It is with great pride, satisfaction, and dare I say, a sense of manliness, that I replaced the light bulb above the stove yesterday. Do to the exhausting nature of the task, I may have to take the rest of the weekend off. But I understand that not all our BLOTTers may be […]

Queequeg
I have fond memories of reading Moby Dick in high school. Our wonderful English teacher Miss Hillshire walked us through it, and introduced us to the concept of “megalomania.” One of the scenes that stuck most in my memory (maybe because it was right at the beginning?) was when Queequeg, a wild Polynesian harpooner covered […]
The WLBOTT Seminary of Universal Pantheology (S’UP) has brought an issue to the Elders. They are concerned that future schisms, divisions, ruptures, apostasies, recantations, and various doctrinal differences will damage the theological integrity of the WLBOTT pantheon. For example, since WLBOTT is based on being marginal in all areas, a central pantheon member is the […]
Today we celebrate international blooming! UC#1 & SU I’ve got to make some corrections here. The rhubarb plant is named “Ruby” (not “Barb” as you might have guessed!). Wondering if you’ve ever heard of rhubarb down Texas way. It’s actually called a vegetable and is an acquired taste, which UC#1 hasn’t yet acquired! It’s wonderful […]
