Good Lord, Blake:
Glad we're finally reaching blithe categorems with each other. Gentle
arsing about offers some hope that we will emerge from these
Tory-induced time shifts more or less intact and in good spirits.
It was positively corking to hear that Curly -- we all know why she's
called that! -- had a good laugh, and I certainly don't mind that she
pretended to have one at my expense. She could use one. I'm also glad
that she is no longer carrying a torch for me; it did tend to blacken
ceilings and low enclosures like the crawlspaces and tunnels she
retreated to whenever your second cousin's name was mentioned. How is
skewfaced mute Timmy by the way?
You mention something called the "Great American Rapture" and are quite
right to dismiss it entirely as delusion and ignis fatuus. In your
current timeshifted state, brought about by the mass infection of the
British population with bovine spongiform encephalopathy -- those nasty
Tories again! -- the Supreme Being is in fact a hot dog, a Nathan's Hot
Dog as a matter of fact, lot #49e-125, one of thousands leaving the
Brooklyn plant on The Ides of March for consumption in northern
California. Unfortunately the need to keep certain aspects of the
timeshift secret from descendants of Paddy Ashdown prevents me from
explaining more about the hot dog deity.
So you are still doing the focus group thing? More power to you,
literally this time. A recent transdimensional poll of Americans on
their perception of Brits was irresistibly positive. It seems that no
matter how you misunderstand or mischaracterize us, Yanks are heartily
in favor of you and yours, and it will probably always be so. Must have
something to do with your excellent ales and porters.
Yours in the service of interplanetary peace,
Sargent Roc
