10 Days Before SUPERBOWL LX = An I.I.R. Exclusive

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 

The
Institute of Inane Results 
has determined that McDonalds 
+ Host City 
 [San Francisco] 
are staging 
a half-time celebration
with 
Absolute-Zero
public knowledge 
 
PLEASE NOTE:
6 days after the game
marks the beginning
of 
____________
________
____
 

 
 The privileged secret
given to Oliverio
exists only because
I am an
Uber-Social Ambassador
of 
downtown Long Beach
 
HOWEVER,
the McDonald's Representative
I am working with
is disallowing me from
(1) using a company photo
better than the dubious one posted
(2) not allowing me
to complete this page
until tomorrow 
other than to say
it involves 
20 NFL Hall of Famers
representing
20 different teams
 
To Be Continued

A Criminal Offense + Long Overdue Post

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
The image above
will naturally be 
enlarged below
because
that is a bylaw of
The Blogiverio Kingdom
 
But
the "Criminal Offence"
involved posting 
my Uncle Preston's image
without completing
the daily
NY Times Sudoku puzzle
before doing so
 
I am 100 percent certain
that has never happened before
 
However,
the Artificial Intelligensia Factor 
may reduce that percentage
significantly
 ____
_________ 
 

Uncle Preston
is seated on 
the viewer's left
with his second wife,
"Aunt Caroline" 
gleefully smiling
in front of him
  
Like a gazillion couples
on Planet Earth,
they met in recovery 
 
 
The message to my Uncle
is this:
 
I love you more than 
numbers can count 
and 
THANK YOU 
 for successfully 
including me
in your will
 
But your first wife 
—my mother's sister—
AUNT BETTY
was responsible
for the other
successful inheritance
 
 
 She is also responsible
for 37 per cent
of the irregularities
in my personalities 
and is no stranger
to these pages

Gone are the days

Then 
he froze instantly:

Ask Your Doctor ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
Ask your doctor
where he (she)
attended 
Medical School
 
When they say 
"MIAI"
 
You ask what 
the initials are for
and they tell you 

Medical Institute
of
Artificial Intelligence
_____
__________ 
______ 
 
We are constantly 
reminded
of the invaluable need
for 
artificial intelligence
 
But 
 no one nowhere
knew 
they had their own 
medical school
 
However, 
it is easier and safer 
to be a believer
_____
__________ 
______ 
 
THEN
ask this doctor
to describe the 
newest and boldest
advance in modern medicine
 
If 
he/she
does not say
minimazation of
malpractice suits,
that doctor 
is skirting pure fact
 
His or her allegiance to
the Hypocratic oath
of 
artificial intelligence
legally justifies
making statements
with 37 percent
[or less] 
actual truth
 
All doctors refusing
to sign that
hippocratic oath
are now
[or soon to be]
living luxuriously
in Poynesia
or Puerto Rico
