Sometime in August 2008, Monty did what we all do when the going gets tough; he faked his own death and fled the country. Usually, this kind of behavior might simply have been attributed to Monty's well-documented phobia of bank holidays. On this occasion, however, there was a clandestine method in Monty's madness; he was under the radar and headed stateside.
Known only to our tightly-knit band of 'pro-active' low-carb brothers, a plan had been hatched to ensure a "favorable" outcome in the forthcoming U.S presidential election. Barack Obama appeared far more sympathetic towards the global low-carb cause; whereas, John McCain was clearly more excepting of folks who "enjoy the company of livestock". It was immediately clear to me that we needed to back Obama; Monty, however, wished to "sample the delights" of the deep south before making up his mind.
