texture · 17 Nov YDAU — Wayne-liaison fallout

When: 17 Nov YDAU, after the accidentally-dosed WETA rant
What: An accidental Tenuate dose (from Troeltsch's pill bottle) sends John Wayne into a public WETA rant; in the fallout deLint's disciplinary sheaf includes "the leaflet about Wayne and Mrs. I. and deviant division" — an e-board flyer (which the administration suspects Pemulis authored) announcing a "joint John Wayne/Dr. Avril Incandenza arithmetic presentation to the pre-quadrivial 14-and-Unders on how 17 can actually go into 56 way more than 3.294 times" (17 = Wayne's age, 56 = Avril's). Pemulis tries to leverage his knowledge ("something pressing I have to interface about with Mrs. Inc... it concerns U.S.-Canadian relations"); Avril's answer, relayed, is a coolly savage expulsion: "may the road rise up to meet you whitherever your future travels lie." Confirms Avril's cold, biding, not-to-be-crossed side.
