(a little background info for others: at the last FLOD cleaning we came upon some truly fetid dead ducks.  Steve, brave as he is, took it upon himself to dispose of the fetid foul.  This apparenly left some FLOD locals very unhappy)

I was contacted by a Mr. Max R. Maggot and he has a message for you.  It was Max himself who suggested conveying this message to you in comic form, something about, "speaking to him in his own language" something-or-other. Without further ado, here is Mr. Maggot in his own words:



This is all very worrying.  How Max came into possession of this sensitive information I don't know, but I smell caiman snitchery.

ROFL...

...Just about spewed mint tea all over my laptop...

Steve's gonna love this.

I know nothing

I know absolutely nothing about any of this. Don't look at me, I was only sharing a brew with a charming "guy" in a fedora hat, and talking about the weather. Oh and about the.......uh........FLOD........*whispered voice*.....activity.

It's going to get weird now,

It's going to get weird now, isn't it?

I think it's safe to say

I think it's safe to say that, yes, yes it is.

To be fully accurate, when I

To be fully accurate, when I released those squiggly little guys they didn't have thumbs yet. That came later when they swam too close to the Fisher. Really. If only I had known ... but that's a burden I'll have to carry for the rest of my days-- which might not be all that long if I have caimans and fetid maggots on my case!

what worries me most about

what worries me most about Mr. Maggot is his apparent ability to levitate and speak with his mouth closed.  Psychic abilities perhaps? There's more to FLOD than we may ever dare to find out.

When...

........we thought it was snowing over FLOD........what was -really- happening? All those floating white shapes, moving so fast, some going up and sideways instead of straight down.

yikes

that actually made me shudder

Caiman and Nutria and Fetid

Caiman and Nutria and Fetid Maggots - OH MY! Caiman and Nutria and Fetid Maggots - OH MY! Caiman and Nutria and Fetid Maggots - OH MY!

Caiman and Nutria and Fetid

Caiman and Nutria and Fetid Maggots - OH MY! Caiman and Nutria and Fetid Maggots - OH MY! Caiman and Nutria and Fetid Maggots - OH MY!

Okay in the part where we'd usually sing about being off to see the Wizard.........who do we see? Rick the Caiman Master? Steve the Releaser of Caimans? Kiki the Messenger of Fetid Maggots? I think they need to organize a council, so we only have to go to one place.

Ha ha ha "Rick the Caiman

Ha ha ha "Rick the Caiman Master"...it sounds like some sort of raunchy movie.

I hadn't read this thread yet...

I'm not going to be able to

I'm not going to be able to make it to any cleanups this week. Those floating fetid maggots (FloFetMag of FLOD) really got to me. Andrew, kiki, and Anna know what I mean:

HAMLET: Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service, two dishes, but to one table: that's the end.
KING CLAUDIUS: Alas, alas!
HAMLET: A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and cat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.
KING CLAUDIUS: What dost you mean by this?
HAMLET: Nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar.

Charming. Another life lesson taught by the Fetid Lake of Doom!! The time has come to drain it, to lance it as if it was some infected reservoir of foul pus. To bring the evil that lurks beneath the shallow surface to the harsh truth of daylight. To make it as it was, so rubber booted OlyBloggers can march across the mud flats and clean up generations of postwar garbage.
