Insanitarium

That's a great strategy on Stewart's part. He only really has to tell the story on one late-night talk show, but then all of the thousands of hotel employees who have caught him at his secret shame over the years will nod knowingly and think, "oh, so it was just one of those weird one-off things."

This is the story I'm telling myself now.

Hello. I've been a fan of yours for a long time and would like to thank you for your years of creative output. I can't claim to understand all of your work, but I feel my life has been enriched by exposure to your ideas. "Rat-Catching" has been on the bookshelf in every home I've had since I was a teenager.

One thing that has always intrigued me is the "solution" to your Big Problem album. It's like one of those lateral thinking problems that I just can't figure out— I'm not even sure what form it would take, whether it's a theme, a philosophical argument, a word... Since the project seems to be over at this point, with the associated phone number no longer working, is there any chance you'll share the answer? I totally respect it if you want this to remain a mystery, but I figured this setting was the perfect opportunity to plead for your help!
