Tonight's Episode: Subterfuge

Starring: Matt Bomer as Guy Handsome, Jared Leto as Joe Handsome and Special Guest Star Rosario Dawson as the Goddess Pele.

Joe didn't consider himself paranoid.  Not in the least.  Still as the time approached when he would be making his sojourn to the Actuarial Association Annual Antics he began to believe that Pele was watching him more closely.

In fact, Pele was watching the brothers more closely.  Not because of the reasons Joe was entertaining, but because their approach to life amused her.

Certainly as a child you watched the comings and goings of some lesser beings?  Ants, perhaps.  For Pele, whose life moved at geologic speeds, the daily doings and the thoughts and rushing to and fro of the people who lived upon her sloping shoulders held that same fascination.  Especially when they looked like Guy and Joe Handsome, and had no shirts on.

Now, some of you, dear readers, have wondered why the brothers were not made to be bereft of pants, as well.  As an ancient goddess, Pele simply was not impressed by a man's least impressive parts.  (She tended to view things from the ground point of view.)

Still others of you have wondered about the lack of shirtless women, and I can only address that by saying that you need to write your own stories.

Guy, scowled at the author and rattled his newspaper so that things could move along, as they were almost to the commercial and he had not yet had any lines.

“I've been concerned,”  Both brothers said to each other at the same time.  Then they both paused politely to allow the other one to go first.

“You,”  They both said at the same time.

“No, you,”  The both said at the same time.

There followed a pause.  Then Guy said, “we need subterfuge, in case we are being overheard.”

Joe could not have agreed more.  “Yes.”


Cut to commercial:  Ciphers can be so much fun, here is the dancing men cipher.    https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuUb95QqFsLByMccvipLlAPlgasWqIOpDveEjtWj0QZELX9ftIwZhfq4LIndgf1UPUpAb2NYrlgknfskSJl5a1AvZPWQ4lXUMk6hWZIF8BkQqMTRDyuut3cUKysGVmiK4VONf_2nMAe_35/s320/encrypt04.jpg
