I had told Jim Strong that he was full of it but that expression seemed so tame

Michael.  I hate to be the one to tell you this, but there is this, uh,
secret cabal in Texas that call themselves, Lets Go Upset Mike Eisenstadt,
aka LEGUME!  This organization was originally formed one late Spring
afternoon in the basement of old B hall....just before it was demolished.
Also, probably before you enrolled at UT.  No matter, these people were
very, uh, prescient.  Even tho' B Hall was replaced by a DARPA supported
computer, ominously operated by the (so-called) Linguistics Department, it
was continously providing insider tips to "interested parties" on how to
disrupt the life and times of Mike Eisenstadt.

The problem lies, emphasis on lie here, with your name.  The original LEGUME
organization...an early "black ops", more of a charcoal gray ops....didn't
bother to distinguish between the early Michele (aka Mike) Eisenstadt, known
as the Siren from the Bronx, and yourself.  Even had the wrong gender.  But
you know how organizations develop a sort of institutionalized moment, well,
despite this small difference, these people dedicated their lives to
continuing an adolescent prank and making you miserable at every
opportunity.  No one you actually know belonged to this group understand,
and I only was made aware of its existence by accident of working at the
State Architects office and finding a crumpled memo rolled up in a set of
landscape plans.

Ahhh, the irony of it all, eh, my friend?  Well, there it is.  You shall
know the truth if you pay the fee.  The price of Freedom in Paranoia.  And,
as one of my psychiatrists once told me (really) "just because you are
paranoid, it doesn't mean people aren't out to get you."  This one had a lot
of credibility, I thought.  Others, nyahhh.  But I digress.  This isn't
about me, its about you.

Or is it?

Another mystery.

I hope this clears up everything.

Including Late On-set Acne.
