This text is a wild satirical/absurdist fiction collection — the "Bob Johnson"

stories by Scott Bradfield. It blends fictional characters with real-world

political and cultural figures used as characters, often with misspelled or

parodied names. The sheer density of named characters (~150+ unique) is

remarkable for what appears to be a serialized humorous work.
