so why am i quippled

A dozen years ago, I was Parthree. No it is actually ten...

It was when I moved here, above the Par Three Golf Course, that I announced that I was going to be Parthree... I put that name up on the pool chalkboard at The College Inn... more than once... and I remember Babi Hammond knowing who I was.

At least one stranger commented on the name.

Before that, I was Thomas Argin D'Argin, of arguin' dargin fame... Well, maybe the dogs knew who I was.

And then once, I thought, well maybe it would be funny, if I swapped at least a couple of T's in my name with Q's, and so, I was Qom Qurkington,,, a name that means nothing...

But that made me think of quarks, which are qureatures of quantum meQuanics, and well, briefly I was Quantom. At least before I was Qurkington.

And then I started to die. I lived through 2 weeks of hellish pain, or was it three? no, I'd say it stretched into 4 before the surgeon cut me open... and the morphine made me think the pain was gone. But no, ... I watched Lost under the influence of percoset (sic?)

And then, well, how many years ago is that? It never really went away. I promised the surgeon I'd make a contribution to his favorite charity, but never really did.

For the percoset and the morphine faded. And the arms still feel the cold pain. Three months ago I started Pamelor, and a month ago I told my doctor I was cured... And then a week ago, well, the least favorite kiss brushed my lips again...

Perhaps it is gone, perhaps I am cured. At least I am typing with beer on my brain...

But when I returned, well, google had come. Dignity was lost in google's scum....

He said, well, I don't know the diocese that Quantom is from...

And wouldn't listen to any words I wanted to run...

So, I said, quck you! I'm no longer a quark! I'm quippled so don't give me no qrap! Or else that qrap will end up back in your qlap!

And love, well is like a flighty dove, she's as likely to grab you as give you a shove.

if it wasn't obvious, the 'q' in 'qlap' is silent. otherwise, someone might argue, I'm this and that because I don't like who I am. My response, 'like most folk, I think rather, it's just that I don't know who 'q' am.'

It should be noted that originally this was authored by quippled. As noted in another posting the blog catastrophe of 20 something or other converted quippled back into Quantom - perhaps there was some sort of entanglement. Nevertheless, this particular post sort of doesn't make sense showing as posted by Quantom, yet it is... so I figured a note clarifying wouldn't hurt.
