The tale itself came from a very dubious but captivating source. I really can't go into the details but let us say that a certain cousin of Mr. McBlam did show up in the path of a walk I was taking. I should mention that his arrival was most rude as he brought with him twice the amount of air and tree pressure as is considered polite in this plane of existence, so far as I understand it anyway.<BR/><BR/>I will speak no more of this person in this comment. He and I are at a bit of a disagreement at the present and I cannot convince him to go about whatever mission brought him here and leave my couch relinquishing his control of my potato chips and the remote control of my television. I would assume such relatives of His Great Cosmic Personage would find higher entertainments than Dawson's Creek can provide.<BR/><BR/>However before our relationship became strained he recounted to me the story of a young man who found himself teleporting involuntarily to nearby scenes of violent crime. At first the results were traumatic, as he, confused and nude, was hardly able to help the victims, but as he grew accustomed to the phenomena he took up self defense lessons and became quite the hero. Newspapers ran stories of the nude rescuer and it became vogue for people who expected a vulnerable moment to carry with them a spare pair of sweatpants out of consideration.Jonny10https://www.blogger.com/profile/02443735573551283042noreply@blogger.com
