You may have noticed that Frank J. wasn’t posting like normal yesterday. And, you might find that he’s not posting a lot today.
Why is that?
Shutdown.
Oh, yeah. You TEA Partier types wanted Shutdown to come, and now it’s here. But you didn’t see the impact it would have. Frank’s been impacted by Shutdown.
The question remains, though: why? Why is Shutdown impacting Frank J?
I was thinking that he’s on a secret mission to tackle Shutdown and get the government running again. Like the Batman, he’s at stately Fleming Manor, sitting in is robe, smoking his pipe, kids running around (well, one running, while the other watches and laughs) and Sarah K. in the kitchen making him sammiches. Suddenly, the phone rings, and it’s Government, asking for help from the menace of Shutdown. Frank J. leaps to his feet, kisses the kids, grabs another sammich, puts on his cape and rushes to the rescue.
Only… Frank J. wouldn’t rescue Government from Shutdown. He might be helping Shutdown.
Could Frank J. be spending this time helping Shutdown? Maybe he’s Shutdown’s primary advisor, and is now helping it defeat Government.
Then, again, maybe I’m way off base here.
What do you think? Where’s Frank J?
No doubt…he’s at Taco Bell…
Obviously he is taking advantage of the fact that NASA has shut down everything with the exception of supporting the ISS to get Project: Nuke The Moon into the operational phase. He has been patiently waiting for just this moment and we should all be excitedly watching the skies over the next few nights.
Possibilities:
* He’s meeting with D.C. Dweebs: as a programmer, Frank’s been called-in to fix the Obamacare exchanges’ server-side code. This is difficult… because there isn’t any.
* He’s engaged in a top-secret, NSA quantum computing project and has become entangled.
* His wife sent him out to buy diapers. But he got lost and wound up in a comic book store with Jim Parsons. Jocularity ensued.
* He secretly met with Shutdown as his new coach. Shutdown has an upcoming match with Debt Ceiling and Frank went like all strategic on him.
He’s waiting in line down at the free insurance office. It could be a long wait.
I’ll be getting my now free insurance bill any day now, it’s really free, the $504 is just shipping and handling.
Remember, the opposite of shut-down is shut-up, they should do both.
Frank is doing the final preparations for nuking the moon; there’s no other reasonable possibility.
Sorry Basil, there is a fatal flaw in your premise. You used the words ‘FrankJ’ and ‘normal’ in the same sentence.
Perhaps, he is doing his patriotic duty and waiting patiently at Healthcare.gov for his password.
…who?
other than the people employed by the government in these “non-essential” roles, who actually benefits from them?
Dinosaur National Park is closed.
Tours of Cape Canaveral are closed.
Something secret going on involving rockets and dinosaurs? Hmmm…
As we have discussed for years here, it’s more a question of “Who.”
…in the library, with a knife.
…waiting for Col. Mustard!
When Frank disappears like this, what becomes of his multiple personalities?
Frank has had a psychic break, and now believes he is “Harvey” full-time. This could be rough on the family since “Harvey” is a six-foot invisible rabbit, which means Frank’s digging a hutch out behind the shed.
@14 – That’s right, *I’m* in charge now and FRANK’S invisible! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Q: Where’s Frank J?
A: Where the wild things aren’t.
“As of now, I am in control here, in the IMAO white house, pending the return of the Frank J. and in close touch with him. If something came up, I would check with him, of course.” – General Harvey Haig
Buttercup is a big sister now? Wow, I really have been away for awhile…
