As many of you have already heard, we do expect to have a very special celebrity guest for this year's Hurl. I can't give the details, but be advised that the Secret Service may be blocking some of the roads temporarily to allow for, shall we say, "VIP movement" of a certain former Slovokian fashion model who has been a secret fan of The Hurl for some time. We will be delighted to have such an august personage in our midst.
Of course she is pre-entered as a participant and will be also breaking a bottle of champagne over a certain Hurl Commissioner's head. We are not sure if it is intended in anger or otherwise. I join with the commissioner in that we expect that The Hurl participants will conduct themselves appropriately, regardless of your opinion of her husband's politics.
While we are on the topic, as usual, the ceremonial intonation of The Rules of the Hurl begins at precisely sunrise, which on Sunday at this latitude and longitude, occurs at approximately 06:27:14.57424 AM PDT. As always, attendees wearing an Australian Slouch hat will be seated first.
