Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution

I was passing by, wasting time, and I became so bored that, well maybe I
was so pleased with myself, in a moment of hideoddicum, that I clicked on
Sent, to see what I'd just sent five minutes ago, and there was one that
I'd sent a couple days ago, that I have zero recall, about.
When I first glanced at it, there's always that moment, oh shit what did I
say here, did I say something that makes the phrase pale king seem glossy?
Then I saw the clever iodiot's idio-I-see, mail, and I knew I had blown
the pipe with pale fire. Then I saw Doc and I automatickly thought that's
Antizoyd, I tried to insult him and he would be maybe getting back with me,
bet then I realized, Oh that's Doc, wait, I was totally positive and nice
to Doc, wasn't I?
I meant it to be kind, and thoughtful. That one. My other mindless
absurdities, I understand the occasional hostile rebuts, reboots, but I
don't want to be taken for what I otherwise intended. Actually, who are we
kidding, what do I care. No wait, do I care? Anyhoo, the Antizoyd, I set
out to annoying him. That was my goal. You, my mail to you, I was trying
to be cool. It's true, thinking back on it, I did accuse the elders of
this salient salon of being bozos. But I would never lay my fingers to the
type, to the hype, we Hyperions, if I didn't enjoy doing it immensely.
When I try to hassle Mr. Morris, it's all in good fun.
As an example, I'm going to attempt to any-oy this Thibodouche guy upstairs
here. Just, if we could all look at Thib's photo, real quick. I know,
it's true, I put that supergay swimming with dolphins pic on mine, but wow,
who, I don't have the wit, to extend into that photo. Who's like, witty,
on this thing? Bailey can. Mike say something. This guy makes you look
like Beatrice.
Oh, I want to say one more thing, in passing. En passant. I'm not taking
your piece, but you mentioned this, so I will give you a piece of me. I
have a passion for the game of chess, and play it frequently, even in
between sets at the gym. I am stuck though, ratingwise, at a strong club
level, and this saddens me, but I keep playing because my opinion is that
the dimensions of chess are equal to the exquisite pleasures of laying with
your lady. I also have a sizeable problemmo, with the ol' imbibing, thing.
I consume to vast excesses. I am a binge drinker, and so I frequently go
through the infinite sorrows of detoxing. Never would I think so little of
another human that I would indulge them to such emotional and moral
extravagances, as the coming down.
Email me personally if you like. Anybody.
