BREAKING NEWS: Aliens return Agatha Christie book they abducted
Back in July, I had a theory that an Agatha Christie book I lost from the library had been raptured. However, tonight I learned that theory might be wrong as I discovered the book in my home office.
I now think it might have been abducted by aliens similar to the photo above and returned.
I had just gone done talking with my sister on the phone when I happened to look down at the floor of my office and...
THERE IT WAS...
...underneath a case of CDs. I first thought it was another Agatha Christie from the library, because all the ones I get are from the Agatha Christie Mystery Collection and have the same black hardcover. Then I picked it up and...
...it was the copy of Murder at Hazelmoor (also known as The Sittaford Mystery) which I had lost from the library and for which I already had bought a replacement online.
It wouldn't be so bad to have a copy of the book except that in my review of it, I had said it wasn't worth owning a copy, but only worth picking up at the library.
Must be the aliens didn't think it was worth owning either.

I'm ashamed to say I received a threatening letter from the library the other day. It seems I forgot to return "Me and my Pinata" (no, it's not about porn) . I'm going to let them know to check with the aliens first.

Once again I am embarrassed to know ye.
That's all I'm sayin'.
I've been on the waiting list for that book for years. Sheesh!

Damn Aliens...

Well, at least you thought it was missing. I usually just sit and look at my overdue library books and promise I'll return them tomorrow.

Those damn aliens. It really sucks to own two crappy copies. Maybe if you put a cover from War and Peace on it they would steal it back?

Ooh... that's too bad. Karma's a bitch, ain't she?
Yes, she is.
Maybe. Might be worth a try.
I sometimes do that too, but I've been a bit obsessive about the Agatha Christie books.
I know. Really.
I can mail you a copy if you'd like. :)
Why? What's wrong with me? ;) Wait, wait, don't answer that.
Or you can ask them to see if Jesus is reading it.

Want to leave a long, rambling diatribe on the state of world affairs? Have at it...somewhere else. I'm the unfinished rambler here. But feel free to leave your aphorisms, especially encomiums, panegyrics to the author. Feel free to consult a thesaurus like I did.
