Can We Please Get On With our Lives?

In a minute. But first…. Correlation, causation and coincidence There is both a metaphysical and statistical debate about the titled topics.  But I will just point out the drop in Hormel stock today, a can of Spam is 340 grams  and Trump getting convicted on 34 counts.  I’ll let the Elders ruminate on this.

Is WLBOTT (Lunch) Counter-Revolutionary?

A lively discussion is taking place among the Elders. 5/25/2024, 10:42 AM I feel the elders have been trying to be inclusive of our guild recognizing some of us use the metric system vs American system of measurement and Celsius vs Fahrenheit temperature scales. But my ear-worm today is the term ‘counterclockwise’ vs ‘anti clockwise’ […]

Are We a Cult?

SPAM (part I of IV)

We blame UC#3 for today’s torturous tempest of a Spam BLOTT. Gentlepeople – I am still waiting on Securities Exchange Commission approval of our WLBOTT fund but should have it by tomorrow.

The AMOC Diaspora (part II)

In one WLBOTT 2124 timeline, a major ocean current collapses, causing fairly rapid climate change to Scandinavia and parts of northern Europe. This leads the US to open up a large area of Alaska to the climate refugees, (or Frosties, as they become known) for the great Ice Exodus. In this Project 2124 timeline, the […]

Good morning, esteemed Gentleblotters, I hope all are well on this beautiful Saturday morning! Since the Elders of WLBOTT cover a wide geographic range, I thought it might be interesting if we list our suburban wildlife sightings.

East of 60 / Unnecessary Farce

Elder UC#1 Checks In Busy time for me, doing the sound and lights for the local dinner theatre East of 60. So named because Devon is on the East side of Highway 60. And I always thought artists were creative! [WLBOTT Fact Check: Given our current understanding of “east”, we rate this as True] The […]

A Most Freudian Typo

UC#4-SU was reading today’s news of the death of O. J. Simpson. His bio contained his stint in Lovelock Correctional Center outside Reno, for kidnapping and stealing his own crappy memorabilia. Then SU noticed an interesting typo. [ed. note: as a challenge to our artistic skills, we used a different shade of orange in each […]
