Dear Webmaster Zip:

I realize that it has been many months since I submitted a communiqué. However, this most recent episode with Booze, planes and eyewitnesses caught my attention.  The buzz in the greater Malvern area was that Booze and Nurse Eggy had to be carted off a flight headed to Philly that was forced to return to Myrtle Beach.

Booze With Nurse Eggy

This was due, according to well placed sources, to some sort of mysterious brain wave dysfunction allegedly brought about by lack of fluids.  I can't believe that Booze was short of fluids after a long stay in Myrtle Beach. 

Lack of Fluids?

Some, I'll not mention names but perhaps it was Areno, saw fit to humiliate Booze with taunts.

Others, like Glammer, regretted only the fact that they were not there to record this tragedy on film.

I need not ask how callous can you be?  I know damn well the Hogs have yet to hit the bottom of the callousness barrel.  What I need to ask is whether this condition is communicable.  I have been in the vicinity of Booze a number of times in my short life and never noticed him passing out, certainly not unintentionally.

Never Passes Out Unintentionally

This current revelation has me dwelling upon whether I and other hogs, but mostly I, have been exposed to some sort of alien virus that has invaded Booze's gray matter.  Who knows what sort of wild-ass viruses an Electrical Engineer comes in contact with.  While I have great sympathy for anyone who inexplicably passes out, I am a long way away from wanting to share this condition in any way, shape or form. Do we know what the origin is?  Have we figured out how Booze has become the narcoleptic equivalent of Typhoid Mary?

Has our resident Shaman Hog, Doc Quack Doogie, weighed in on this yet?

Not that I want to encourage his ravings. But lets face it, some medical opinion, regardless of how shaky the source, would be of at least marginal value.  Is there any possibility that those of us who have shared the secret handshake, sat on the softball bench, or possibly rode in a golf cart with Booze could suddenly and without warning begin passing out?  And is this condition one that always attacks a person on a plane causing him to be returned to the point of origin, a la the 29-time loser of the Hog of the Year award?
