Deep in the Louisiana Swamps, we learn of the legend of Deltoid Dawn. Legend has it that during the flowering of their love, her beau was eaten by an alligator. She pines to this day. Sightings from the 1930s In Modern and Ancient Folklore “Delta Dawn” by Larry Collins and Alex HarveyDelta Dawn, what’s that […]
At WLBOTT, we enjoy a variety of religious experiences. For the most part, as long as our primary allegiance is to twine and shareholder value, we encourage our flock to seek their own path to truth. A few exceptions apply: we find dogmatic atheists and evangelical, magaT Christians to be equally tedious and stultifying[1]. And […]
Lady R, Elder JA‘s better half, now has a new tool at her disposal to track down JA. Just follow the tube! To help JA keep his tubing organized, Lady R put her knitting skills to work. They enjoy going on walks together, especially the three week spring-summer-fall when visiting Yellow Knife. On this day, […]
Nolite te Bastardes Carborundorum Let’s celebrate a good guy today. We’ve had 10 years of raw sewage dripping into our ears and eyes. Let’s refresh our mental pallet with a good guy, Artemis II astronaut Victor Glover. Shortly after returning to Earth, Victor greeted a child with Down syndrome (the reporter’s daughter). Who is Victor […]
Gleaning is a fascinating topic. It intersects poverty and plenty, generosity and greed, the struggles of the most poor pitted against the wealthy and powerful. In its most basic sense, gleaning is the act of collecting leftover agricultural products after the farmer has completed the harvest. There is always some corn or beans or wheat […]
Long before dinosaurs, before forests, even before WLBOTT instituted its Work/Life Balance program, there was The Meteorite. This is before Estonia was even in the northern hemisphere! By the way, during the neolithic era, Estonia was known simply as “Stonia”. It wasn’t until the tech boom of the late ’90s that the country became known […]
One of the first questions asked by the WLBOTT Elders is: Will There Be a Buffet? To satisfy this buffet desire, and in honor of our series on ancient Estonia, we created Ordovician Day at the WLBOTT Ladle & Lube. These are delicacies that would have been available at the time of the Kärdla Meteor […]
Connecting the Bagpipe Dots Recently at WLBOTT HQ, the pipes, the pipes were calling. We tasked the research department with exploring the history of the bagpipe, and, being unpaid and of short attention spans, they entered into a somewhat convoluted rabbit hole that led us to isostatic uplifts, ancient meteors, a Mesopotamian Sun God, a […]
WLBOTT:Let’s start today by describing a truly random real life event. This morning I sent an email to a WLBOTT Elder describing a nice spaghetti dinner we recently had. For the first time in my life, I spelled “spaghetti” right on the first try. Since there are only so many combinations of letters in the […]
We are considering welcoming Baba Yaga into our WLBOTT community. She had a WLBOTT vibe before it was so very cool to be WLBOTT. As you’ve seen from our recent blotts, Baba Yaga has taken steps to rehabilitate her image – vegan alternatives to eating children, getting dental care for her iron teeth, etc. What […]
