The Great Plotnik

Adjusting the Variable Spark Dingus



The question has been raised as to why the Plotniks felt obliged to hit all the big box stores in Southern Massachusetts. The reason was to fill up BZWZ's Ford Explorer at Ikea with a new futon, two end tables, a kitchen table, a bathroom storage dingus, and the usual supply of random fluorescent bulbs and Ikea tupperware. All of that didn't cost much money and it fit easily into the Glorious SUV.



Life is slow in Providence -- it's a perfect place to be a grad student. But Plotnik would probably not be able to last too long without burritos and chile verde, though the new Ikea dining table would be a fine place to consume then.



The pushback towards Saint Plotniko has been delayed one day. There is talk of further delays involving long bike rides and pastrami sandwiches in The Apple, but so far the only apple is the one everybody is staring at.

Incidentally, while in the East Plot has been able to talk a lot of Man Talk about cars. He has no idea what he's talking about, but he has found that saying: "...you just have to adjust the variable spark level an extra two microns..." seems to elicit favorable responses from drunk college students in sports bars.

Did BZWZ actually have to ride in the back like that? Did you manage to put all the Ikea stuff together without incident?

And if you are using high octane fuel, adjust the variable spark level at least an extra 4 microns. But you knew that.

The apple is a nice touch...
