  Transcript:

  OK, here we go, as promised.

  There once was a WIZARD named NEPHYO. He was raised in a land called DELAWARE but now resides as you know in the lands of XANGA and TUMBLR which are as real as any other world. There he had many friends who like him travereled betwix these lands and others you might know. Realms with strange names like Delaware and Indiana and the magical kingdom of California of course. And together they kept the realms safe and all was tranquil and good.
   
  Then one day, his AUNT code named the IRON SALMON raced across the ROOF tops in ALABAMA following the ROUTE to the CARAMEL THEATER. When she arrived she wielded FIRE and WATER against BOTH PECAN LAWYERS from NEW ORLEANS. CAUGHT in their PAJAMAS, PROBABLY terrified, they offered up COUPONs for MAYONNAISE, and ALUMINUM cans of SODA (not pop, not coke, and definitely NOT soda pop) as a peace offering. 

  NATURALLY a GIF of this extraordinary event made its way on to that TUMBLR in the sky where Nephyo’s NANA, GRANDADDY, and GRANDMA shook their heads in disgust when they saw. They wanted those coupons!!! So in retaliation, they sent forth Master CRACKERJACK armed with SHOPPING CARTS full of REMOTE CONTROLS, TENNIS SHOES… and toilet paper so he and his minions might TP every house in the planet whilst hanging ENVELOPES on peoples DOORKNOBS. What did these envelopes contain you wonder? Well if you happened to find one you’ll find those GPOY (you know the ones) and you’d know then the devilish nature of this blackmail scheme.

  Nephyo had to act to resolve this conflict before it escalated out of control! It was a good thing there was NO SUCH THING AS ACCENTS or his mission would have been that much more difficult. He grabbed his cat and began his spell:

  And all was well AGAIN.

  That’s it.

  I think differently.
