Flippist Industries, Inc.

Many of you may wonder what is required to produce such a top-notch blog day in and day out.

Some may think all you need is a gift of gab, a laptop and a modem. Au contraire, mon feré! I’ve prepared a little presentation so that you can understand all the effort that goes into every single high-quality Flippism Is The Key posting. First slide please!

Here you see an aerial view of the Flippism campus, located on 4000 acres of virgin prairie, in Minnesota's heartland—Anoka. Please notice the man-made lake, nature trails, and meditation huts located in the feral-cat preserve.

Entering the main reception area, you will notice the indoor waterfall, the pianist in the marble atrium, and the Versace-clad security guards (with color-coordinated Uzis!)

The first complex houses 244 wordsmiths (that English major IS good for something) toiling away on the proper structure, parsing and syntax for the upcoming post - ever wonder what the meaning of “is” is? They know!

Now we’re in the legal department. A phalanx of barristers (in wigs) is kept busy with the judical issues surrounding this blog, including an analysis of those intriguing Nigerian emails.

This is my favorite area: the theology department. One hundred monks and esteemed scholars ponder the Spiritual mysteries of Flippism. Their current project? Attempting to create a version of the Hanson Bible in ancient Aramaic.

And here, yes this is it, the inner sanctum, my fortress of solitude, the office where I work on this blog. Strewn about this knotty-pine garret are various volumes of forgotten lore, Icelandic phrase-books (most of the phrases are somewhat morbid), Björk videos and a copy of HTML for Dummies. Please note the stack of moist towelettes next to the keyboard!

There it is! A cast of thousands laboring day and night to bring you the finest in internet entertainment. Any Questions?

Standing Ovation!!!! Huzah! Marvelous production!

Does it really take that many monks to uncover the Hanson bible? I could produce the same results using only one Southwest Virginian teenager, but I digress! ;)

Someday when my adventures are over and I need an area for reflection and to write my memoirs, I may require one of your meditation huts in the so-called feral cat preserve. Any chance of renting one of my very own?

I like how you arrived at 244 wordsmiths. No more, no less!

And I'll pay for YOU to come teach at my University once I get MY winning lottery ticket cashed in.
