Dear Gentlepeople, It is with great pride, satisfaction, and dare I say, a sense of manliness, that I replaced the light bulb above the stove yesterday. Do to the exhausting nature of the task, I may have to take the rest of the weekend off. But I understand that not all our BLOTTers may be […]

I was sad to hear that the author of one of my favorite books, “How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen so Kids Will Talk” had recently passed away. Adele Faber‘s book is a must-read for anyone interested in communicating with other human beings (kids being a subset of that class). One of […]
Today WLBOTT learned something new. For all these years, we thought “The Swingle Singers” was short for “The Swinging Singles Singers” Wrongo Bongo.

Born in Mobile, Alabama, Swingle studied music, particularly […]

Queequeg
I have fond memories of reading Moby Dick in high school. Our wonderful English teacher Miss Hillshire walked us through it, and introduced us to the concept of “megalomania.” One of the scenes that stuck most in my memory (maybe because it was right at the beginning?) was when Queequeg, a wild Polynesian harpooner covered […]
The WLBOTT Seminary of Universal Pantheology (S’UP) has brought an issue to the Elders. They are concerned that future schisms, divisions, ruptures, apostasies, recantations, and various doctrinal differences will damage the theological integrity of the WLBOTT pantheon. For example, since WLBOTT is based on being marginal in all areas, a central pantheon member is the […]
