One month 'til Narwhal Day, repeat, just one month 'til Narwhal Day. There is one month remaining to make the necessary preparations, but those in true sympathy with the narwhal will find the task not at all daunting. On Narwhal Day, the 23rd of May, perform three simple acts: 1) wear a gray article of clothing, preferably visible for all the world to see, but unmentionables are sufficient also. 2) Listen to "Sympathy for the Narwhal" by DJ Seaghost, available on the album Rice Capades (odd that no one has ever asked me to burn them a copy to compact disc). 3) Recite the Oath of Narwhal Day. This is the most difficult of the three, because a true recitation of the Oath requires purity of heart and clarity of mind, so as truly to believe the words of the Oath. The Oath is posted on The Secret Base every Narwhal Day, or I will be only too happy to email it to anyone who asks.
But don't be intimidated by the necessary ritual, Narwhal Day is for anyone and everyone who appreciates the world's weirdest whale with its magnificent, ridiculous tusk. Narwhal!

Four down, twelve to go. Best of seven: sweep, Detroit 4-0 Columbus.
I wish like the Dickens that I'd seen those crucial minutes of the second period. Alas, such are the perils of declining your mother's unnecessarily generous offer to allow you to eat dinner in the other room in front of the television. Of course, it's rare indeed when dinner isn't served until after 8:00 p.m. But all that is neither here nor there. The B.J.'s committed an elementary error in putting too many men on the ice and the Mule made them pay. Justice is served, good prevails over evil, and we live to fight another day. Go Wings!
Believe.

The work continues apace, and I am thrilled at how splendidly everything seems to be turning out. I cannot wait to (several steps down the road) show this to all of you!

The Wombats, "Dr Suzanne Mattox PhD" from A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary: These Liverpudlian barbarians are killing me. What is so Bog-damned difficult about "Dr. Suzanne Mattox, Ph.D."? Okay, I can let the "Dr" slide, because the custom in British English is not to use periods with forms of address such as Dr., Mr., or Mrs., but there's no defense for the lack of the comma or the ludicrous rendering of Ph.D. Shape up, lads!
