Minneapolis Couple Receives Yet Another Startling Visit From "Weird Things Bogeyman"

When I began cleaning the attic last week, things were looking rather grim. One of the casualties was a bookshelf that had spilled the contents of its lower shelf onto the floor--about two dozen Star Trek and Dr. Who novels.

Huh. I had never seen these before in my life.

Well, I knew they weren't ours, and Toby didn't really store any of his stuff up there, and I know certainly Kevin isn't a trekkie, so that left...Zander. So when Julie came over the other day, I sent her home with the bag of books. As I handed it over, she gave me this sort of disgusted/alarmed/wary look.

"I've never seen these before," she said.

I shrugged, "He's probably been hiding them from you. Maybe he always kept them in the studio."

"Ew." She said. "Some people uncover their husband's pornography stash. I get...this." She held the bag like one might hold a bucket of slime-covered rat heads.

Yup, too bad, sister. Sorry you had to find out like this.

Shortly thereafter, I received an email from Zander: What kind of a weirdo do you think I am?

Well, what the hell? I was floored.

Then, Shad suggested that this may be yet another act of the Weird Things Bogeyman that terrorized North Minneapolis this past summer. (See here, and here, and here). But this is puzzling, too. In the past, we have through circumstantial evidence suspected The Gnome of perpetrating these shenanigans. But she regrettably has not been to our house in several months because she's stuck in New Mommy La La Land. Is it possible that she or her dear husband planted those books months ago and we just now found them? Have we been suspecting the wrong people all along? Well, if it is indeed The Gnome, it is sweet justice that the pork-chop bogeyman seems to have paid her a visit. Bwaaa haaaa haaaaaa.
