It is with great pleasure that we, the esteemed members of the Antepenultimate Company, recount to you the sordid and convoluted history of our esteemed organization. In the year 1702, our esteemed forefathers, a group of enterprising and ambitious individuals, set out to establish a company of great renown and distinction. Their vision was to create a venture that would stand the test of time, one that would be remembered for centuries to come as a beacon of innovation and industry. However, as fate would have it, their endeavors were beset with a series of mishaps and misfortunes that would ultimately lead to the establishment of the Antepenultimate Company as we know it today. It began with a simple error in judgment, a misapprehension of the market that led our forefathers to invest heavily in a product that had no demand. Despite their best efforts to salvage the situation, they found themselves in a position of financial ruin, with no means of recouping their losses. Desperate to salvage their reputation and salvage what remained of their fortune, they resorted to a course of action that would ultimately prove their undoing: they decided to pivot their focus to the pursuit of inactivity and aimlessness. It was a decision that was met with skepticism and derision by many, but our forefathers were undaunted. They believed that in a world that was constantly on the move, there was a place for an organization that stood still, one that was content to do nothing at all. And so, the Antepenultimate Company was born, a company that would go on to become synonymous with idleness and indolence. Despite the obstacles and setbacks that we have faced along the way, we remain steadfast in our commitment to doing literally nothing, and are proud to be the embodiment of all that is unproductive and unnecessary.
