1987: Wes discovers Spiderman and buys a number of comics and compiled series. He is introduced to such villains as Venom, Rhino, Scorpion, Mysterio, Lizard, Green Goblin and Hobgoblin.
2002: Wes and Zach invent a complex language called Oobonigs, that serves as a code for talking in public so that no one else can tell what they are saying – it also has the virtue of being very fun to say.
2007: Wes carries on the tradition of Oobonigs as Zach somewhat sours to it, especially after certain emails that become painful to read in the language.
2009-2010: Wes finds another disciple of the language in Rich Fowler. The two pick up where Zach and Wes left off and the language continues to evolve in ways that inspire anthropologists in the future to study the language from an academic perspective.
May 4, 2010: Wes is sitting on Rich’s porch buzzed and begins saying the names of Spiderman villains in his head. As he goes through the list in his head his mind has to fend off the other-dimensional madness upon realizing the uncanniness that none of these villains have names that are fun to say in Oobonigs! Wes begins exploring what this strange synchronicity means in the greater context of his life, or perhaps in the context of the world’s well-being.
