Wood Tickles the Ivories

Rollerchairball legend, Andrew Wood, recently broke his code of dodging paparazzi as he was caught tickling the ivories in Milan last week. Strangely, the room in which Wood performed contained no piano.

When asked what exactly he was doing, Wood remarked, “The word paparazzi originated from Fellini’s classic, La Dolce Vita, in which a photographer is named for a dialectical word for a particularly noisy mosquito.” When a reporter pulled out his iPhone and did a quick fact check, he queried Wood, “Did you steal that definition from Wikipedia?”

Before the question was complete, the room of photographers was astonished to find they snapped pictures of an empty bench, as Wood had disappeared. At the time, it was not certain whether Wood’s performance was a clever ruse devised by the reclusive legend to stump paparazzi or if he is actually, indeed, the star of the new television show, Journeyman.

A cryptic letter from Wood to the New York Times states that he is wintering in his vacation home in the Bahamas, waiting for magazine subscriptions he was promised to arrive. He also added that he is not a member of the cast of Journeyman, but left the door open for Quantum Leap. Wood seemed unaware that it is not winter.

Rumors now swirl that we will not see Wood again until at least the spring-time, when he is notorious for searching the Ozarks for the ivory-billed woodpecker.
