I have received the following from my trusty correspondent at you-know-where:
Mr. Menick:
H. I'd spell out "Hi," but we're too rushed here at WTF HQ. Only 4 more days! Holy Hannah's Hosiery! Or as we say here as we zip about, HHH!
Needless to say, we are agog, agape, atwitter, amok—some of us are even akimbo. Being the only debate institute in the country is not easy. We are expecting countless thousands of innocents to descend on us this weekend, each one with a nice big check payable to the WTF Beer and Retirement Fund. We've got former debaters who know everything there is to know meeting with these innocents and telling them everything they need to know so that they too will know everything there is to know. It is as if the entire sum of all knowledge ever will be contained right in our hyper-modern meta-dorm! If we all jump off a chair at the same time, people in China are going to feel the bump.
I may not be able to communicate with you for a while again, until the brouhaha bubbles down some. I know you wish you could be with us, especially when we cash some of those Beer and Retirement Fund checks. We are well aware that the only knowledge we won't have here will be yours and a few of the other dinosaurs', but we figure if we train people to use enough speed, no one will ever know.
Have a happy 4th! Our fireworks here will be all mental! May you and yours be mental as well.
Your f (I'm too busy to type out the word "friend"),
HM
