Me You Got, Really



     From The Copy Desk: Warren has finally returned from Minnesota. It has been nearly five months since The Boys set out for Bemidji. Marty was back a week later on a flight from the Twin Cities, but could not (or would not) remember what happened to Warren. We are told there are photos of Warren with certain large mythical characters (not all of them depressed ruminants) and that, as he says, "we're waiting for a chance to load them down." Based on that statement, we here at The Copy Desk are pessimistic about ever seeing these photos, but these young rodents have surprised us before.

     Whatever happened in Minnesota left The Boys barely speaking to each other. This had been going on for 19 days, far too many for even the most ardent grudge-holders.
     Finally one day, Warren was fiddling with the headphones, tears streaming down his face, as Marty stalked through the room. "Hey Warren, what's wrong," Marty asked, "Are the batteries dead in your headphones."
     "No. It's just that this video .... "   Marty, interrupting "of more humans falling down. I love that website."
     Warren, irked, "This video of brothers' reunion. I was excited to see it because I thought it would make me happy, and it did, until I saw how happy the brothers were back together. Then I was happy for them."
     Marty slipped under the headphones and watched the video ( http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/watch-the-kinks-ray-and-dave-davies-reunite-onstage-for-you-really-got-me-20151219 ) and was likewise affected.
     "I never told you how much I missed you while you were gone," Marty said. "It's good to have you back."
