Marmots Refashioned

     From The Copy Desk: While The Boys have never been dedicated followers of fashion, sometimes even they can agree on change. So now we see our boys in their new shirts; dropping the now tainted Hawaian look for, in Marty's case a fashionable African-style shirt and for Warren, a bowling shirt (complete with embroidered name).

     Stay Safe, Be Well.

     P.S. The Boys don't miss the snow we used make them sit on for the blog photo. Warmer butts are good.

The Word Marmot ...

     From The Copy Desk: The last odd post probably needs an explanation, but we're not up to that right now. Let's just say we thought it was quaint to be worried about those sort of things, but it is probably instructive. We can't recall why the title is "Medium, Well," but it might have been an interesting message if we had finished it. Anyway, onto today's business.

     "Hey Warren," Marty called. "Did you see what The Copy Desk wrote yesterday."
     Warren, sitting with loud Bose speakers playing an apocalyptic playlist while basking in the sun with a drink, said, "I did. What the heck is The Virosphere."
     
  Marty wondered why Warren was speaking in bold and italic type, but felt prepared to offer his haph-bro a definition. "Look, spell check underlines it," Marty said. "So it 's either a new word or just another stupid spell checker fail.
     "So as I see it, the definition seems to be .... "
 
     VIROSPHERE: noun, Any space outside of the domestic space/property of humans confronting a pandemic disease by staying home.

Medium, well

The medium is the opiate of the masses ....                                 Karl McLuhan, May 5, 2018

     From The Copy Desk: Warren was playing his favorite new parlor game US Code Title 18 Bingo, where you randomly pick a section and try to recall how President Dump may have violated it - either as president or private citizen. We listen in as he rants ...... 

     "Title 18. Section 11. Subpart 227 ... (a) Whoever, being a covered government person, with the intent to influence, solely on the basis of partisan political affiliation, an employment decision or employment practice of any private entity," Warren read aloud.

     "What does that have to do with anything," Marty asked. "How did our clueless leader violate that one?"

     "Are you ready for some football," Warren sang, "And I don't mean real football, I mean American football."

    Warren is, of course, a football snob and insists on calling soccer, football and football, American football. But we digress, his point being that by interfering with the employment practices of the National Football League, elected officials could be violating the law. Marty seems unimpressed.

     "So I ask again, how does this relate to anything," Marty again asked.
   


     From The Copy Desk: We stumbled across this draft and decided it demonstrated something about our new reality here in The Virosphere ..... stay safe, be well.
