Our Impending Triumphant Return

Good Christ, friends, we have always admired your intelligence, your wit, your political instincts and your grit. But never 'til now did we realize that perhaps your chief virtue is your patient indulgence of our unprofessional hiatus.

So patient, so indulgent, in fact, that we're going to break a long-standing prohibition and offer you this, a tantalizing glimpse of one of our trusted staff. For the continued safety and security of our personnel, of course, we've added a little black box to preserve this particular staffer's identity. Okay, so Jayne Mansfield he's not, but we just really want to impress upon you that we're not just fucking around: we've been attempting to recapture a bit of that authentic capacity for production from which we've so long been alienated.

When the physical structure and infrastructure of our new headquarters is brought into the twentieth century (telecommunicationally speaking), we'll offer an actual statement for your consideration. Until then, pinch your partner or yourself in the nicest way you can...
