The Buffalo of Comebacks

Oh, Hugo, Hugo, Hugo, Hugo. If I do recall, in March, a certain someone swore to write a new Happy Rotter chapter. And not just any certain someone, Hugo. It was YOU!
Pfft. Pffffffffffffffffft. Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft!
I really am bad at comebacks, aren’t I? Perhaps this is why someone told me I don’t have a mean bone in my body…
I have successfully converted Bebo into a Whovian, still unbeknownst to him. (A Whovian is one who watches and enjoys Doctor Who. One cannot merely watch Doctor Who; one becomes obsessed with it.) He’s seen more than one episode. He’s officially converted! No going back now, Bebo.
(I’m secretly plotting to convert his entire family, but that will take time… and some more plotting.)
Bebo’s family almost fed me buffalo without telling me. Well, how else am I supposed to count firsts unless I know?!? I also learned Monopoly this last weekend. I am so very far behind in life, I know.
I’m not certain what else to write about… How very much I will miss Hugo, one of my few friends… How very miserable the weather at my new, non-community-college college will make my skin (Although, unlike Hugo, I shall mostly stay indoors)… How very few places a hobo can apply for, and how little to none will even think of hiring a hobo… How maybe it must just be this hobo because the other two have jobs AND job interviews… How excited Hugo and I are to graduate this quarter... How Hugo and I carpooled a week ago and didn’t die, and how Bebo and I carpooled today and didn’t die, and why am I never the one driving?
Far too much to even consider talking about, don’t you think?

The Return of the Three Bewhiskered Desperados

    Hah!  Ha ha ha ha!!  Ha ha!  Joe said that he would post, but he didn't, so I shall now undertake to post a post about how he said that he would post but then failed to post, leaving the area wide open for trolling hobos to post posts about posters who don't post.
    Yes, gentle readers, you have drawn the correct conclusion:  the Three Desperados are back, after a months-long absence during which we did absolutely nothing productive.  Well, Bebo did productive things, but he was abroad, so he hardly counts.  He does, however, softly count--under his breath, you know, while trying to fall asleep.  He counts kangaroos.  Australia has corrupted him.
    I can't really think of anything cheery to say, other than Joe has quite badly fumbled the ball (which is why I'm here) and Bebo is back from Australia (five-star beard and all).  Oh, wait, I can think of something cheery to say: I, Hugo the Horrible, am moving!  Far away!  To someplace where it rains fewer than three hundred days out of the three hundred and sixty-five!  And I am never coming back!  We shan't have the boomerang effect with Hugo as we did with Bebo; no, no, no seven-month absences for me.  Mine is permanent.  The other Desperados are almost as happy about it as I am... But they can never be fully as happy as I, because they are staying in this horrid, dreary, miserable damp place, whereas I shall be free, free, free...  In the sun...  Skin cancer, you have met your latest victim.  Take me!  I am willing!
    Okay, I shall move on now, because that wasn't weird at all...
    You know what, I think that I shall move on quite extensively, and end this thing before it gets out of hand.
    Ta for now!
     Your affectionate uncle,

~Hugo the Horrible
