And Shaenon sends it in a lovely Tyvek envelope with a cardboard stiffener and a thank-you note and Artie on the front and Dave on the back of the Tyvek envelope, and in my email telling her it arrived safely, I ask… “Is that acid-free Tyvek?”

Because, you know, it must be preserved. And so it is. Explaining it to the framer… another problem entirely. 🙂

There’s a little bit of same in the lower left corner. And no, I’m not saying what it is.

I am employed,
I’m working for Evil Science!
But I’ve not enjoyed
The things that I’ve done!
For instance ..

Moving bodies, closing my eyes!
Lifting objects fifty times my size!
Blamed for atrocities I didn’t do!
And when I’m writing down your “BWA-HA-HA”,
It’s then I realize, and say to you,

    I think I’m a henchman!
    I fought a robot horde, and a demon at-tack!
    I think I’m a henchman!
    You’re working me to death, but you’ll bring me ba-ack!

(The third time’s removed for spoiler purposes.)
