Hello all! Hope you had a delightfully spooky week. I was forced to listen to the most tragic World Series games of all time, and dealt with my grief at a cruel world where either the Dodgers (BOO) or the Yankees (HISS) had to win.

As a treat.

You guys have been KILLING it in the comments this week. I haven’t seen such creative and joyful art spun from such tone deaf dross since Stephen Colbert covered Rebecca Black’s ‘Friday’ on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon. And this time I didn’t even have to put up with Jimmy Fallon to enjoy it.

I just had to put up with Les Moore.

I’m not here to put a damper on this at all. By all means! Keep the crazy theories coming. I know BJ6K has been collecting all the suspects and collating them into some truly epic posts. But how about a little history lesson palate cleanser, in the meantime?
