SR/CL: May Day, 2012>!>Leitmotiv: "These are not natural events; they strengthen from strange to stranger."—W.S.

LUTHER }‎ קַטֵּר יַקְטִירוּן כַּיּוֹם הַחֵלֶב, [sensus plenior] { CALVIN

The Orphanage directly instructs The Loyal Order of Un-reconstructed Freaks via William Stoughton to place the digital itinerary for the Summer Tour in the Alternate Venue (applicable Banach space, 3/10/93, Level II; calibrate optical aperture as per 5/1/96, Level I—the Hirelings seek obfuscation everywhere, especially when there is none). The 482nd Anniversary of the Confessio Augustana will be celebrated in Hus Hall @ The Hotel California, 1200 Hours, Kennmort: 1/16/91, Level II. De Moivre will present Dallas Section's most recent neurological investigation sub specie the Bayesian application which avoids the strategic hazards of adiposis universalis, cf., transcript, p. 23, line 17 et seqq., (latest) sub-plenary, Norbert's House--Widener concurs. (Peggy Dow's calculations [inter alia, Cytochrome P450 2C19] have in excess of 2 [two] SDs of empirical confidence; cf., 12/1/10, Level III.) The Hudson Valley Licensor is to proceed statim. Mistah Kurtz is instructed to suppress the infestation of Taenia solium - the specific ontological taeniasis has been traced by Ireton to the Pelagian devils. Politi der verbrannten Erde regrettably but necessarily precedes Le Nettoyage.
