Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader was cooking dinner tonight and had a horrible thought. A truly horrible horrible thought.
So there he was. Standing in th kitchen of the Villainschloss. Making up some homemade barbeque sauce for use on some ribs he plans on grilling tomorrow. That was when the thought came to him.
What if the hurricane…
He completely ignored the human suffering. The Hobbesian state of nature that has decended on New Orleans (and that now looks like the military is taking in hand) was not a concern. The corpses rotting in the street didn’t faze him.
More beneath the fold…
What if the hurricane wiped out Avery Island? Ohmahgawd! What if Katrina devastated the peppers? What if this disaster destroyed the sole supplier of Tabasco sauce?
For a moment your Maximum Leader thought that he would have to run out to the grocery store and stock up on Tabasco before the prices shot up.
But he got on the internet and discovered that his fears were all in his mind.
Avery Island, and Tabasco sauce, is fine.
Your Maximum Leader is probably going to get some sort of karmic retribution for that thought.
But at least he’ll have hot sauce with him to suffer through.
Carry on.
