mousehands : ask philip

It’s particularly painfully poignant that this question was asked now.

Let us introduce ourselves: We are the custodians of the gubbins experience, brought in by the mourning family of Philip to oversee the answering of future inquiries; while we cannot possibly hope to achieve the lofty heights of wisdom as displayed by the then alive, but now dead, Philip, it is our solemn duty to carry on his legacy from now until such a time as all the peoples of the world are brought together in the unison of ultimate correctness.

Our work is shrouded in darkness; our plans covered by some kind of thick burlap; our fears are written down and kept in a sturdy box; our hopes are tattooed on the back of a really resentful whippet. In this light, we like to see ourselves as the new Knights Templar, or possibly the Mujahidin.
