The backstory is fun and only takes a few pages. The story about the back hair, on the other hand, is the mere two sentences of author comment that’s posted beneath the first page. Ursula Vernon is the best. ---

Dear CP, Yesterday a swordfish tried to get into a fight with our ROV and lost badly, and got caught up in it. They had to bring it up onto the deck, and tonight we got to eat swordfish for dinner. Yum! Sincerely, not asking any questions in this letter ---

Sorry, **Spidey**. I decided that it was best that I stay home and write my three final papers and work on the approximate 400 spoon rings that I need to make by next weekend. But I’d really, really like to go. Damn being a responsible adult! ☹ {{{ **doggio** }}} Today I am going to try to finish one paper and turn it in tonight, a week early. It certainly would be nice if I could. ---

It’s a brisk 45° right now, but they’re promising 77° before the day is done. We shall see. Once it warms a bit more, I’m getting out there and my intention is to get everything that needs to be planted into the ground today. I’ll probably start with pre-emptive ibuprofen. Another bad night - I swear, Taz isn’t long for this world! Stoopit cat. And that’s pretty much all I have this morning. Kinda dull to be me today. Happy Wednesday! ---

Blurf. Upon leaving for irk this morning, there was a living but injured possum at the end of my driveway. By the time I got to the orifice and hunted down the phone number for Animal Control, someone else had called it in. I hates possums. ---

**CatDude** blame it on the cleanin’ crew. That’s what everybody else does. 😃 I get to tell folks they can have an increase in trainin’ hours today. Yay! I am startin’ with folks who showed up for the meetin’ a couple of weeks ago so I can offer them more hours than the ones who did not show up. Evil mean bear strikes again! ---

Hey - it’s not yet 9 and it’s already up to 52°!! And the sun is shining!! I can get dressed and get to work and maybe be done by lunch time! Yay!! I think I have a dozen pots of stuff left to plant, and most will go on the front hill, which is much less steep than the side hill. If I have the energy, I’ll even mow the front ditch which is getting out of control. Otherwise, I’ll save that for tomorrow. How sad that I’m so excited about adding to my backache… :smack: ---

[QUOTE=Catman] Some idiot left a window partially open in my office last night, so when I came in it was about eleventy million below zero degrees in here. [/QUOTE] Time to fire up all the lights, computers, printers and whatever to make some heat. I’m still a bit amazed that my office building doesn’t have an actual heating system. They just throttle back the air conditioning if the place needs to be warmer, even if it’s snowing outside. ---

Dear CP, So I coupled the Hypermatter Instantizer with the Cosmic Dehydrator before I had my morning coffee. Apparently its Izo circuit has fixated on large bodies of water and it’s heading off to remove the Atlantic Ocean. Should I transmit the Dellar Co-ordinates over the Greater Array of Satellites, or should I just call that nice Mr. Kent? respectfully, Prof. Pepperwinkle [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mmp-ask-cp/656371.md?page=9) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mmp-ask-cp/656371.md?page=11)
