pope-140.jpgBlog Guy, I’ve heard there’s a super-secret society of prominent people in religion, politics and entertainment who communicate with each other through their own private hand gesture language.

I understand they are very active lately, indicating something big is about to go down. Is this true or not?

Please get a grip. Wouldn’t somebody in the media also have to be involved, to make sure they could all see the messages to each other? Trust me, I would notice if stuff like that started showing up!

This is a universal gesture which means “I need a Tylenol and a cold beer, pronto.” Notice Clinton has his eyes open. He wants an Angelina Jolie lookalike to bring him his beer…

Well, the Tylenol theory is definitely a good one but I’m wondering of Occam’s razor wouldn’t suggest that maybe they could have had a V8….

Occam’s razor, huh? Another fan of House MD, I gather? Maybe all four of them just have lupus…

Very clever ruse, claiming that it’s all a conspiracy theory while being that very person in the media who ensures that the secret hand jive club gets their messages. Who knew the Illuminati read Oddly Enough? Apparently YOU did!

Lupus would be a good guess…if it wasn’t the second guess. Everybody knows that it takes at least 3 tries for House to get the correct diagnosis. Has there been any seizing or unexplained bleeding?

Good point. Everybody also knows there needs to be the halfway-through-the-show projectile vomiting, and there hasn’t been any of that yet, either.

And he’d have send his team to go ’round breaking into homes, insult and generally patronize all the patients, then finally, do a lumbar puncture before admitting that all they need is a Tylenol after all.
