Faithful readers: apparently the comments section of this blog is not functioning. Letters to the Earl sent care of your faithful correspondent are vanishing in a flurry of error messages. Not to make excuses but there are several possible explanations that leap to mind: elements of the Legio Prima Germanica have engulfed DCI Borchardt’s men near the Carthago Nova Bypass. It’s clear that the Romans are targeting RSS feeds and customers at Millicent’s Diner, the former Peacock Alley, report shortages of bacon have become chronic. What this situation portends for the Earl’s hogs I leave to your imagination.

Now that the Prima Germanica is in the district the main body of the Valeria Victrix is occupying the Costco parking lot near Goth. The Prosecutrix, Mrs. Anderson-Cooper, is sending a team of technicians to parley with Severus Antoninus. She has her hands full, she reports, with a crackdown on rampant NFL betting which she lays at the doorstep of the Dowager Princess. To defuse the situation four thousand copies of James Frey’s memoir are being rushed to the scene; Severus seemed to enjoy Pam Anderson’s novel. His troops never miss Oprah.

With the Earl in Seattle for the Seahawks-Panthers game this blog is in the hands of embittered dogsbody Urquhart Depew. Sabotage cannot be ruled out. The staff here at the Druidical & Literary do apologize for any inconvenience. If posts begin to appear in Latin you will know the worst has occurred.
