Munc,
I am happy to hear that you were feeling princely. I am so happy that it was not because you were feeling Machiavellian.
And speaking of governmentese, bureaucrats, and such. All those things of that mad, mad world that is DC. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of a book called
Night of the Avenging Blowfish: A Novel of Covert Operations, Love, and Luncheon Meat. The author is John Welter.
Before I go any further, I have to confess that this is one of those quasi book reviews that I have done here from time to time. You see, I never finished the book. It was recommended to me by two people who share my kind of sense of humor. They had found it to be pretty hilarious reading. I bought the book. But I was telling someone else about it and somehow ended up saying, "Oh, go ahead and take it and read it. I'll finish it later." I do that sometimes.
Anyway, one of the subplots is about a covert "spookball" game between the Secret Service and the CIA. It's a baseball game, but considering who's playing, the planning is just nuts. Hard to explain.
I just looked it up on Amazon and the reviews are mixed. But I laugh at the same kind of stuff as the two people who said I would like
Night of the Avenging Blowfish so I am going to track the book down again and finish it this time. Then maybe I could write something about it that would not be so lame.
What am I doing up so late?
I should never be allowed to type after midnight.
Goodnight.
