But, alas, I am merely a Creepy Nihilist and I don't see much of a story
in
that.
: )
At first I wrote "creeping", but I thought that was too easy. Then I
remembered a short story written by a woman who wrote: "All men are creepy
if you get to know them well enough." It's a sentence that's always tickled
me -- I guess I must agree with it -- and so I went with that. No personal
offense meant, just a little innocent male bashing.

I first read the Subject line as 'Phil the Creeping Nihilist', which for
some reason I really liked. Then I realized my mistake and was
disappointed. I don't know what this means. But I have recently been
watching episodes of a terrible Sherlock Holmes TV series (American) from
the 50's and I can imagine an episode titled 'Sherlock Holmes and the
Creeping Nihilist'. Perhaps the villain would be planning dastardly deeds
such as stealing guns from old ladies. Perhaps creeping up behind them as
they napped on a park bench. Then melting the guns down for scrap metal.
The cad!
Sincerely,
Phil Enns
