Introductory Blog

Welcome to my blog for the first time ever, Strathroy. I'm writing this because I plan to introduce my blog to people other than Joshua James Horky, who was, until now, my only regular reader (that is, until I stopped blogging; when he gave up)

I have called it Dr. Bingpickler's Epistemological Time Pone because that's a funny thing to call it, I think. I value my sense of humor. I take it very seriously, Lewis would say, if he weren't busy right now asking for God to open up the earth and take Philip Pullman into the grave still kicking. BTW, boycott that Golden Compass movie! To say the same thing twice now requires only four keystrokes, so boycott that Golden Compass movie! Let's make up signs that say "The Golden Compass Points Children Straight Toward Hell!" Let's.

My sense of humor has a long and boring history. It began when I realized that when I said certain things, people gave me positive attention, and cold, hard eggnog (joke!). Those things that I said were not very often good things, meant for edification or encouragement. They were, rather, frivolous nonsense or crass peanut gallery comments. They remain so, to this day. Watch!

Strathroy, when ever will you exist outside of the stifling box into which sadistic Cartography has placed you?! When will you seek fame and fortune and exotic beverages outside of Southern Ontario? When will you loung by Lake Baikal, get irradiated in Lapland, or mauled by a bear in Kamchatka? Canada may be really big, but not as big as Russia, No sirreee.

Brandon will be funny again on 9 Oct. 2030. The first scheduled time for him to be funny (3 Aug. 1988, in case anybody was still reading this) had to be cancelled due to sunshine, (NOT a joke) so we're having another go. I'm training hard, Strathroy. I have strongly ambiguous feelings toward you, by the way.
