Last evening, U.S. Postal Service delivered a package of One-Hundred-and-Forty-Four (144) cans of silly string to the Station. "WHPA - Channel 13" was certainly the addressee on the shipping label, but nobody seems to have ordered this stuff. Nary a return address nor packing slip was to be found.
Along with six fun neon colors of silly string, there is some wobbly penmanship on a Post-it note in the package, reading "For the Snark was a Boojum, you see!" and the dashed name of the sender (presumably.) My co-host Doc Christophoros emphatically speculates "You'll never see the Boojum that gets ya; they're gawtdamn invisible!" Nevertheless...
If this package belongs to any of y’all, then just reply with the name on the note.

If no one comes forward, or if you think the parcel might be dodgy in any way, please deposit the package at the Site B storage locker. The Caretaker will know what to do

Doc Christophoros was both wrong and right about Boojums: they are invisible until sprayed with silly string. We've broken up the case and issued two cans to each person on Station Staff as well as everyone in the talent pool. Look for'em in your respective mailroom sorter slots, folks.

Great, so you can see the Haints covered in Silly String.
What do you do then?
Runaway?
Get them to pose for a selfie?
Invite them round for tea?
Also, I am legally required to put my Health and Safety Hat on (it's my regular hat but green), and let you know the following:
a) The Silly String must be entered into the officially WHPA Chemical Register
b) A Material Safety Datasheet (MSDS) for the Silly String must be supplied to me, as OHS Officer, and pinned to the noticeboard in the break room.
You never know when Program Control are going to do a snap audit so it pays to err on the side of caution with these things.

Snark detection requires neither great guile nor special equipment, of course... But Boojum? Boojum would not appear to be the best subject of lesser investigators. Unless you possess better science on the local entity Doc Christophoros refers to as a Boojum, then we cannot classify said entity as a Haint, although I will allow repainting the Station Haint Blue as a ward is an idea not without merit. Boo Hags abound everywhere, so slapping on a coat o' paint to bar their entry into the Station would be good. Plus, there is a lot of not-so-esoteric graffiti that would be nice to cover-up. We can eliminate Boo Hags as synonymous with this very invisible Fairhaven Boojum. Doc and I have tangled with Boo Hags. This ain't them. What do we know? - There is an invisible entity that knocked down Doc Christophoros in the parking lot of Louis' Lunch this past Saturday night.
- Spraying Silly String willy-nilly did give some idea of that entity's dimensions, which roughly fit the same space as a 1988 Chevrolet Nova Twin-Cam.
- Sacrificing a greasy bag of hot hamburgers by way of diversion will give sufficient time for a strategic retreat.
