Coming up for air…
I’ve just gone through and sorted them into piles. It was almost perfectly one third pre-Code horror comics (reproductions mostly), one third gun magazines and catalogs, and one third Teletubbies publications.
If I’m ever suspected of anything serious enough to evoke a search warrant, I’m screwed. They won’t know what they’ve got on their hands, but
they’ll know whatever it is belongs in prison for a long, long time.

Who doesn’t have a stack of Teletubbies publications? It is THE pre-eminent choice of all intellectuals and Weasels world-wide. Right up there with “A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch” and “The Grapes of Wrath”.

Although truthfully, “A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch” had to be one of the most boring books I have every read. I didn’t realize that it was a LITERAL day (and not a particularly exciting one at that) in the life of a Mr. Denisovitch. I think the title was misleading by how up-front it was.

Oh, man, I had to read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich in Advanced Placement English. It was awful. I much preferred The Gulag Archipelago.
That’s when I learned that I eat soup how Solzhenitsyn does.

Ok, someone had to ask.
And how is that?

Oh! Um. Very slowly.

Same way Benjamin Franklin ate his peas, I reckon.

Is learning how to eat soup from the The Gulag Archipelago the same as learning how to hunt pigs from The Lord of the Flies?

Now, hang on a minute. Stoaty didn’t actually say he’d learned to eat soup by reading Solzhenitsyn. Just that they ate soup the same way.
My guess is they both learned the same technique from McGoo.
It’s usually McGoo that’s behind these things.

My mistake. I just was projecting my enlightenment from said great classics onto the Weasel leader (such as the best ways to burn books from Fahrenheit 451 and the joys of Soma from Brave New World). So, I guess we are saying that Weasel is just naturally like Solzhenitsyn… I wish I ate soup like a philosopher.

I thought One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich was excellent. I still have the last page committed to memory. And it was certainly better than the alternative, Three Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty-Three Days in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

Wow, y’all are some brain smarty people! I read One Day in the Life of Where’s Waldo once. He was at the beach, and it was amazingly crowded – hoards of people everywhere. But everyone ignored Waldo and he was all alone. He tried to keep a brave smile on, but you could tell he was so very, very alone. It was a sad book.

That Waldo! I bet he was at the beach in his woolly jumper and bobbly Mike Nesmith hat!

Diogenes, a Greek philosopher, is said to have lived his long and peculiar life largely in a tub, eating cabbage and cabbage alone.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how he prepared it. However, I’ve got the rest of his lifestyle down pat.
