The Bugle, audio newspaper for a visual world!

Hello, Bugleers and welcome to issue 61 of the Bugle for the week beginning Monday,

the 26th of January 2009.

That means, relax, it's over, it's all over, the world is born again.

I'm Andy Zoltzmann here in London, in New York City, it's John Oliver.

Hello, Bugleers. Hello, Andy.

I'm recorded on the phone for two reasons.

One is that I'm still part frozen from the inauguration.

My cold level at one point was very nearly cryogenic.

I'm sure if I'd just laid still, they could have fooled me out for the next African-American president in 20109.

I think that's what's been agreeing on now, one every hundred years.

I think my bones are slightly frozen, you could drop me in your drink on a hot day,

and I'm pretty confident I'd cool it down for you.

And the other reason is I'm flying to Bermuda in about an hour to do stand-up.

I'll be flying through the infamous Bermuda triangle, so don't be too surprised at this in the last you ever hear from me.

If that's the case, you know any final thing you'd like to say, Andy?

Any final message before I disappear in mysterious circumstances?

Have you found my pen that I think I left in your flat last February?

I will give it extra special hard look for that handy pen.

I'm both shocked and appalled that that is the thing that you want to do today.

That was a good pen. That was a two-pound pen, John.

I think it was a pilot P-700, I must admit.
