Content analysis of slothrop666. usw.

[Musashi Miyamoto]

Those would fit under:

1. If it's about the P-list or P-list members, it's P-related
2. If it slanders Doug or Barbara, it's okay
3. Never said it was gonna be easy
4. I think Barbara is really Wanda Tinasky, who is really Pynchon, so it's
all related!
