noticed it but I am trained in such things. Now please
do offer your name so that we may be properly friends.”
“Good show Brother Thaddeus I would accept you in
friendship but I do wish to hear more proof than what
was certainly minor ale induced facial twitch.”
“I have been trained in the order to observe the very
minute and picayune for that is the way of my order.
Our motto is, ‘Always be looking for the other foot to
fall’. I noticed your brand of cigarettes. I have seen hundreds
of men smoking them and merely thought they
must be very popular. I once considered smoking and it
seemed that I should smoke what the truly interesting
were smoking. I could not find them anywhere. It now
dawned on me that cigarettes that popular would be
easy to find let alone not impossible to find. So it seems
logical that it was not hundreds of men smoking the
same popular brand but the same man smoking nonexistent
cigarettes. And may I add you should cut back
a bit for health sake.”
“Well played Brother Thaddeus!” he exclaimed and applauded.
“It is truly an honor to call such a brilliant
man friend. I wish to offer you my name but I must
swear you to secrecy.”
“I was a bit surprised but at this point nothing should
surprise me about him. Secrecy,” I asked, “Are you
wanted for murder, espionage, or possible ripping those
do not remove tags off of mattresses?”

“Oh no my new friend. I ask for secrecy for what had
not started intentionally has become an exceptional
game. Once every one can say, ‘hey look its what’s his
name.’ events would lose some zeal.”
“As a Brother of the Sacred Order of the Impending, I
Thaddeus do swear my oath of secrecy and seal it
with the traditional stomp of solemnest.” For with
that I stomped, leaped, stomped again, spun and
clapped thrice with a howl and a stomp for good
measure, as is the way with in the brotherhood.
He stepped forward, extended his hand and said,
“Brother Thaddeus, I am Alfredo DeNunzo of Parts
Unknown.” We locked arms in friendship.
“Well met!” I said. “Now where is Parts Unknown? I
remember. Isn’t it a Shire in Lochac?”
“No. Not in Lochac, “ He said, “It’s a Principality of
the Kingdom of Er in the Unknown World.”
Next time….. “The Unknown World!?”
