To dispel any rumors that WLBOTT<\/strong> is a cult, I invited our esteemed members to write Praise and Worship limericks to extol my humility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the day began as usual. At 4:30am the BLOTTers<\/strong> arose, practiced group yodeling<\/strong>, had a hearty breakfast of kale and coco puffs, a brisk 6 km jog in a foggy mist<\/strong>, and then off to their 12-hour shift at the tuna cannery (their paychecks support our good works).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the leader, my schedule was slightly different. Due to the exhausting and all-consuming nature of WLBOTT Line Leader<\/strong>, I awoke at 11:30am and had a full English breakfast[1]<\/sup>, and then a leisurely drive though the countryside in the Royal Twine Coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WLBOTT <\/strong>cult founder is El Se\u00f1or Z
He is a master of HTML, Java and C
He has offered his time toward providing fun
And has encouraged the cult to get more done
As with all of us,  he sometimes has to put down the phone to take a pee<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Dear Elders <\/strong>of the Great Ball of Twine<\/strong>,
Is it in good taste to whine?
It's a deluge, indeed
But they're fun to read 
I'd argue these BLOTTS<\/strong> are benign <\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Posted so many BLOTTs it was exhausting
But one could pretend
That, if laid end-to-end
They would stretch all the way up to Boston<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
