The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

An advancement in Freeloading Theory

As you can see by the lack of storage space in the kitchen at GM Manor, it was another successful freeloading weekend as the amount of food stored rose even though there were guests.




Discussions on life enrichment strategies this past weekend got the wheels turning in TWW's head. He realized there are high maintenance guests and then there are guests like this weekend who are the kind you want to encourage to come up. (Just so we don't hurt any feelings the guest who stayed here several weeks ago also left with a net increase in food for us to consume and also some good beer so we had something for Mr. BANANA last night when he was here). Anyway freeloading theory needs to evolve and we think we have a new concept but need to find a good name for it. Back to the high maintenance guests. They are high maintenance but then what do you call the guests like we had the last weekend who are lower than low maintenance. Should we call them Negative Maintenance guests? Both low and negative do not sound like terms people would want to be called. We think we have the new term: The GM Leadership Circle. People who attain this stature are examples to all of the other people who come to GM who always bring something up and help but never quite do enough so TWW has nothing to do except watch. These are definitely negative maintenance guests since they give much more than they get. We will work on this concept more and get back to you.

We learned what you are up to a long time ago so that is why you have not seen us for so long. Also, where is that car we loaned you in 1998?
