Mailbag! The Czar Finds Something Nice
EC, a long-standing Gormogon operative in charge (this week) of our Australian, New Zealand, and Latvian region (the travel pattern is weird, yes, but makes sense in a way, and EC seems to be managing it quite well), writes in regarding the Czars treatment of recycling.
Actually, all he needed to say was:
Yes!!!!!
Excellent exposition, your czarness.
And of course, we agree. EC can expect some extra emu leftovers in his payoff envelope this week.
Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
