Memo: The Unseen Updates
Our webmaster, who operates under the rather cryptic moniker ==>|\/|0zA1k<==,1 has informed me that the WordPress plugin he installed to allow subliminal posting to this very blog has not worked as advertised. In fact, it has not worked at all. Needless to say, I am not happy to learn that the daily posts I’ve been writing over the past three months were not only entirely ineffective but—now that the plugin has been removed—no longer exist in the WordPress database.
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, really. Had the plugin been working every person reading this blog would now be my unquestioning, subservient thrall. Now that I understand the plugin wasn’t working, I am given cause to wonder whether the unquestioning, subservient thralls I do have weren’t merely hoboes having a bit of fun with me. That would certainly explain the bindles.
Several of you have inquired about the recent lack of content from the Overlords on The Secret Lair and the answers we generally provide are riddled with vague references to “work” and “family” and “court-ordered community service”. In truth, we have been diligently creating content that, thanks to the aforementioned malfunctioning WordPress plugin, was never distributed and is now, regrettably, lost forever. Rest assured that new content we create will be appearing in your RSS aggregator or podcatcher soon. Far from being subliminal, these new blog posts and podcast episodes will be superliminal, and you will be keenly aware that your will is being sapped and your desires bent to serve our purposes.
- Honestly, I have no idea how to pronounce it; I just call him “Herbert” because he reminds me of Jeffrey Combs in the movie ReAnimator. Though what possible reason a webmaster would have for constantly running around with a syringe filled with phosphorescent green liquid is quite beyond me. [↩]

… Are you sure it isn’t working, master?
