messy-potamia

So we seem to be suddenly enroilled in a cleanliness quagmire. It all started with the canine committee (representatives from Indiana and Delaware) "passing" an "authorization bill" on the couch. This was earlier this morning and I am at least glad that the pup did not try to "table" the measure.
We seemed to have actionable intelligence on the "stock pile of missiles" and immediately deployed the unmanned spot bot to combat the mess under the theory that "if I don't clean it up there (the couch) I will surely have to clean it up here (my hands and clothes)." It seemed that the mission had been accomplished: the couch was again safe for democracy (sitting on) and some of those involved were captures and detained briefly.

We could not have known at the time that the couch was couched in a conspiracy of untidiness that would last well into the night. One of the dogs exploded a pen and we agreed that the best course of action was a surge in our housekeeping forces. Initially the surge seemed to be working and then one of the dogs got into the green zone and attacked a bystander with a "spew-a-cide bomb," leaving at least one civilian nearby covered in puppy puke. Luckily the spot bot was already on the scene and reaction was immediate. Recent reports indicate that a can of store-brand diet orange soda may have been involved with yet another couch decleanification. All we can say for sure is that the spot bot will not be put away any time soon.
