Found Objects I: Rev Dr. Maulana Riff

in imperial watch

Over the weekend, in Hyde Park, I received a flyer from a gentleman of indeterminate age. He was dressed in a garb unfamiliar to me. In his hand, he carried a strange device that, I later learned, recorded his words and deeds for his followers.

When he approached me, I was hesitant. And I tried to hurry myself around him. Yet, something in his eyes arrested me, as I slowed down and extended my hand to receive his flyer. He smiled and said, I have long planned our meeting, here. I nodded my head, as in agreement, though I had no comprehension. I didn’t read the flyer, stuffing it in my pocket, and wiping my fingers on my trousers. The ink left a small stain.

He briskly walked away before another word came out of my mouth. And I continued on to mine home.

I have read the flyer and found it to be an inspired work. I attach it below for my gentle readers. Perhaps I will try and find my new acquaintance, once again.

simply outstanding. i know the author meant it as a serious piece of literature, but it’s difficult for me to determine which part contained the most hilarity per paragraph.

Ummm, I don’t think I can handle reading this deep any more. I am blaming it on the Google.

This, on the other hand, is the best thing I have seen in many days. I like the small, grizzled German hearts (presumably lining up at the Tiergarten tomorrow?) but those white seductresses with the cloven bosoms and raspberry-scented hair are straight outta Harlequin.

Instant Classic on innumerable levels. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Have the five percenters issued any statements about Obama? Their entertainment value and their theology are both superior to Maulana Riff…..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nation_of_Gods_and_Earths
