What?
That's clever, right? It's very topical, just, straight off the bat.
SOTB. BOTS.
If you consider bombing, and these days Bombing With Bots, or TWITS,
tombing with tots, then maybe sending Moby to Camobyia with some special
mushie-evaporizor gunware (did Nixon even *have* a permit? oh, he signed
the Constitution, didn't he, nevermind) was a certain kind of Ruggly
"failure (or exaxtamundo) to communicate".
Bombing talks, right? Let's right a book about "Ruggles and Bombs". God
we wish we were born during a major war. So topikal! It's like the
fucking story just manifests in your lap. What are we supposed to right
about, trillion dollar coins and loose cannons in Connecticut?
But then, there's always the Nixon-Hamlet-Jesus-Amenhotep the LVXIVIIIXXLth
gig...
