Mysterious!
Somebody in Pittsburgh who seems to have access to a type writer –I assume it is the ghost of Frank Gorshin, as he supposedly came from Pittsburgh and ghosts often possess antiquated composition equipment– considers me a thing which the internet tells me refers to a beggar-type person who attempts to maintain an air of refinement in spite of that (I accept such a critique from the owner of a bowler hat). Essentially, a parasite on society (maybe he thinks I ripped off his laugh?). I must say it’s nice to have written correspondence with like-minded people. Even ones to whom I cannot actually write back due to their lacking return-addresses, possibly as a result of being non-corporeal beings with no need for a specific place of dwelling. That’s probably, actually, for the better, as I often struggle to reply at messages, and this saves me the trouble of writing most of a response, getting stuck, and forgetting about it until it passes from relevance. Schnorrin’ ain’t easy, as they (some people, surely) say, so I appreciate my phantom menace helping me out in such a way. This is also the closest item I received to a valentine card.
Ehhh, if I do not include the imaginary face book toilet paper granted unto me by an imaginary face book friend. And I do, but only in my mind. It needs to be wiped occasionally. For example, the thought which caused the previous sentence would have benefited, I now realize.

Schnorrin’ ain’t easy: The Greemish Volcabbage Story.
I think we have a title for your autobiography.
Fleeplezeep sez:
What choo mean “we?” Surely you are not suggesting I would write a semiautobiography!
Fakes and feigns sez:
I was, of course, using the generic we in an attempt to generate a sense of openess all-incusiveness, as befits such an esteemed forum for intellectual exchange as this one. That said, I suppose one could make the argument that the title is to some small degree a joint effort, but I don’t think they normally take off auto-points for that, lest everyone who borrowed a Shakespeare quote for their work’s appellation have to list the Bard as a co-author.
Fleeplezeep sez:
I will try to arrange for a death whose circumstances and aftermath are more interesting than my life, and thus free myself from having to write about it. Otherwise, I may end up comparing the merits of W. Shakespeare versus Tweet feat. Missy Elliott, and that’s no feat. for us mortals.
