OPERATION SHREWD EUPHEMISM

If we were not above apology, we would offer regrets for our recent absence from the blogosphere. Suffice it to say, we are deeply embroiled in a project that will be taking up more and more of our time over the coming months. It would not behoove us to share with you the goal of this project, but since you, faithful Reader, have been such a faithful reader, we will bestow upon you a series of hints that will enable your imaginations to catch fire. This new project involves:

  • A jarful of mosquitos
  • The home telephone numbers of all members of the United States House of Representatives
  • A carefully drawn map of the Paris sewer system
  • Three syringes of pure oxyglutamine
  • 23 signed headshots of Jennifer Hudson
  • A dozen Lascar strongmen, primed for adventure
  • Two rocks
  • A Rembrandt painting entitled “The Conspiratorial Blessing of Isaac Firkkens,” which is believed to be a fake but is actually a Rembrandt painting entitled “Christ Oversees the Swineherds”
  • Three Charles Darwin beard hairs
  • An incriminating Betamax cassette of Jimmy Carter cavorting with Roy Cohn
  • A cyborg giraffe
  • Deep love for our craft

Anybody who can guess the object of our scheme will get a free signed first edition copy of our book. When we write it.
