E-Mail From Your Facilities Department
In response to numerous e-mails, I have no idea what planet the giant alien creature is from. Judging from its enormous gills, I’d have to guess it’s from a watery planet. Reminder: please let me know if you plan to be in the office on Memorial Day so I can request HVAC for your floor.

Amazon Customer Reviews: Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt
For those of you who mock the wolf shirt beware. There is an old Navajo story about a young man who made fun of another man for wearing a wolf trio shirt. Legend has it that in his sleep, the wolves on the other man’s shirt came to life and tore his body to shreds. They never found any part of that man’s body. The Wolf is something to be respected and feared, not treated like a novelty.

It might be said, in short, that Underwood’s motto is the beard makes the bard.

T.S. Eliot’s Letter to George Orwell Rejecting ‘Animal Farm’
“… Your pigs are far more intelligent than the other animals, and therefore the best qualified to run the farm– in fact, there couldn’t have been an Animal Farm at all without them: so that what was needed (someone might argue), was not more communism but more public-spirited pigs.”
