Hello, you amazing watch-maker you...
I only assume that your incredible good looks, and scholarly wit has kept you well since the last time I destroyed one of your watches. And while we are on that subject, rest assured: I believe that all parties can now agree that LAST time, was an isolated incident, and I don't foresee a repeat of “the tragic foosball accident”.
Nevertheless, my apparent “psychotic-watch-murdering-nature” has been firing on all cylinders, as the surprising combination of a cracked glass (hazards of a gentleman/scholar lifestyle... which i don't really lead... But can fake it pretty well by using big gentleman-ish words like “fisticuffs”, or “Primal-beasts”), and a trip to 60ft below the surface of the Sea of Cortez seemed to have an adverse “horrible-death-like” effect on the watch.
After many deep and profound brain things happened inside my head, I uncovered the makings of a sad truth: the thing about being in 6 atmospheres of watch-crushing-pressure... is that it crushes watches quite efficiently (it is a complex phenomenon, i know). Or mayhaps it was the underwater kung-fu duel between my arch nemesis and I. By “nemesis” i mean “roommate”.
Tell me you cant point me out via my superior form |
While I understand that for PR reasons, you will never condone “nemesis battle” be rest assured... your legendary watch played a vital role in my eventual triumph... i mean look at my form... yeah... I’ve seen an impressive amount of Kung-Fu
But the story of your watch doesnt end with my impressive Kung-Fu skillz (which need a “z” because of its sheer prowess). A watch of a lesser stature would have wilted at the inevitable fate of portly Cortez, and his sea sitting on it’s face. But NAY... this watch.... (let’s name him “Nigel” for story telling effect)... Nigel held his breath... for 2 months. that’s right... the watch was literally operating under a layer of water and then steam for another 2 months after scuba diving. Due to the fact of Nigel’s quiet nature, and he would rarely explain anything to me (quite the roguish devil), I hypothesize that Nigel got tired of waiting for me to go on an safari, and took drastic measures to make this happen. that should teach me the values of procrastination.
Rest in Peace |
Being that you were the creators of the BEST time device to ever enter my life, what is an adventurer to do if he doesnt know when to pause his single barrel musket dueling to indulge in his glass of scotch? How am I supposed to enter hand-to-hand combat with ruffians in a timely manner? Worst of all, i’m CONSTANTLY late for dentist appointments, and i am starting to fear for my teeth’s safety because of my disgruntled dentist.
My Time-ological fate is in your hands. As well as my teeth’s fate.
Sincerely,
William McDonald the Second, Ridiculous Gentleman In Training
this is absolutely hilarious, Will! I am keeping Nigel in my prayers and I am sure he lived a happy, gentlemanly life as your trusty sidekick. :)
