1. MILITARY Unidentified Gooey Object

Timby is ill-prepared for life. And yet he somehow meets each individual situation well-prepared. And ill-prepared at the same time.

He has somehow acquired a large fortress of considerable altitude and strategic locale in South Asia. However, he cannot think through everyday occurrences well enough to fabricate an intelligent response.

And yet, he thinks of and prepares for the worst. ... Far be it from objective, scientific inquiry to know the mind of Timby.

Hey everybody! Read my other blog entry first! In that blog entry, I mention a MASSIVE party that I'd like to throw. This is the blog entry where we talk about that party.

Hey all! It's been a while (Ten weeks, three days, twenty-two hours, twenty-seven minutes, and forty-four seconds, to be precise.) since my last blog entry, and it's been almost a month since the turn of the year, so I figure it's high time for a blog entry updating you on current statusy things.

As you know, we're taking a break from the Malex Minute and from Contradictionary this spring. As of a week or so ago, writing for Malex Minute Quarter Sixteen was complete. We've already had a bunch of great recording sessions, and the last recording session for Malex Minute Quarter Sixteen is scheduled for next month. Production on Contradictionary is also finishing up, with Peter doing an incredible job balancing all of his miscellaneous responsibilities here with a full time school schedule.

So the hiatus is upon us. But that's not where things end! Keep reading…

Finally! The last leg of the long, long journey to New Civilatham! Give this episode a listen and let us know what you think.

Okay, I can actually describe the thought process behind this one.

I was picturing one of Malex's polyphasic sleep cycles landing in the middle of a work shift. I wondered what he would tell his boss - perhaps, "Excuse me, I'm going to pop off for an hour in the interests of my new sleep schedule. I'll make up for it by working later."

... Then I pictured how he would prevent a coworker from bursting in and begging for help on something.

There was something wrong as Nixy pulled onto his street. He could see their house from there, and there was a large, dangerous-looking animal on the property.

He didn't quite get a good look at it, but somehow... deep down... he knew Timby was to blame.

Our heroes finally reach civilization! But it’s not New Civilatham, it’s Mini Civilatham. Only 700 more miles to go! Give this episode a listen and let us know what you think.
