One of these days …¹


¹ In the not too distant future ²

² Maybe even today ³

³ Yeah, that’s it

I’ll do it today , ¹⁰

After all, there’s no time like the present

What a stupid phrase that is

Of course there’s no time like the present!

That’s as redundant as saying “It’s always in the last place you look for it”

Well, d’uh! … No shit, Sherlock! ¹³

¹⁰ Tomorrow at the latest ¹¹

¹¹ Well, okay, maybe not tomorrow either ¹²

¹² But within the week, in any case ¹³

¹³ But I digress ¹⁴

¹⁴ As I am wont to do ¹⁵

¹⁵ But enough of that now ¹⁶

¹⁶ The point was that I am going to attempt to write an entry consisting entirely of footnotes ¹⁷, ¹⁸, ¹⁹

¹⁷ i.e. there will be no actual body of text

¹⁸ And see how many I can create in a legitimate manner

¹⁹ Oooh! … Looks like I just did! ²⁰

²⁰ And the answer is nineteen ²¹, ²²

²¹ That’s an impressive number of footnotes

²² Except, of course that it isn’t now, is it? ²³

²³ I forgot about the footnote describing the number ²⁴

²⁴ So it’s twenty-four ²⁵

²⁵ Not bad, hunh? ²⁶

²⁶ Of course, I could’ve dragged it out even longer ²⁷

²⁷ But that would’ve just screwed up the numbers again ²⁸

²⁸ Oops ²⁹

²⁹ Looks like I just did ³⁰

³⁰ Shit!

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live and too rare to die.
