I’m brillig again, and totally covered with slithy toves.
This happened to me about a year or two ago. I did a post on it, but none of the suggested cures worked. I even tried some bark from the Tumtum tree, but it just made me burble.

I’ve been this way ever since last week’s “debate” when ABC showed us how drek maximizes advertising revenues. And it got worse when I got an email from the Democratic Party asking me to make a contribution to the Democratic Party.

What is this Democratic Party of which they speak? Would my contribution help fund people who declare things “off the table?” Would my contribution go to those who believe that online, informed Democrats are some kind of freaky left-wing fringe?

I think I’ll just go galumphing off somewhere and stand awhile in thought. Perhaps I will find a way to rid the world of the likes of the frumious Bandersnatch.

1. A hot shower followed by a liberal application of A-200

will cure you, but only if you don't start gyring and gymballing first.

Those slithy toves will itch like a bastard if you don't take care of it now.

4. Beware the vorpel swords that go sniker-snack
And you never know when some bandersnatch is going to frumiously accost you.

6. Yeah, I was once, but
then I joined a druid sect for a while. When I found out they didn't really have midnight orgies at Stonehenge, I renounced it and became a heathen, sitting in the corner with my vorpal sword in hand and sucking my thumb.

8. Actually, I gimbled and wabed all weekend, but
this morning, the UNENDING DEM PRIMARY was still going and some entity called THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY was still emailing me for contributions.

Maybe I'll just stop shunning the Jubjub bird.

9. Be careful which side of the mushroom you nibble on before you embrace
the Jubjub bird. And don't trust walruses and carpentars.

13. You're four o'clock in the afternoon?
the time when you begin broiling things for dinner

Maybe if you put butter in your works - the best butter, of course ...
